degenhardt_v_a This whole album is a fucking amazing trip!
It feels like downing a gallon of the strongest black coffee you can find and then riding out into battle with Rhapsody, Dragonforce, Slayer, Blotted Science - and Five Iron Frenzy!
Why are you guys not headlining every Festival!?
Please come to Berlin!

Reforged 06:57
A lone warrior holds aloft the sword of rubies He holds it High above his head A lone conspirator plots the swords destruction To bring its glory to an end Coming in the night Hidden by shadows Playing out his treachery Brought together from the ends of the world Broken pieces of a mighty blade The anvil strike sings an awesome chord We are reforged The blade lies fractured Ne ’ere to be whole again Strewn about the ground Shards of ruby can’t be found Songs and tales were told Of the famous sword of old In a growing time of need Legends return to reality Forgotten fractals made whole again Coming together bringing darkness to an end From the fires of the forge Like a phoenix reborn Sparks ignite the irons core Bound together through the storm Lightning strikes crashing down As we hear a thunderous sound Resurrecting our almighty steel Complete once more, the blade of fabled legend is now stronger than it previously was. Unbeatable and magical, the kings sword brought glory back to its wielder and all those who bore witness to it’s might and power!! (T. Rudny solo) (J. Zych solo) (I. Bender Bass solo) (C. Johns drum solo) (J. Zych solo) (T. Rudny solo) (I. Bender bass solo) (C. Johns drum solo) (J. Zych solo) (T. Rudny solo) (I. Bender bass solo)

Destiny 03:54
Far across the sky In a distant time People fight For there lives decline No hope to cling to All seems lost They have to pay the price No matter the cost Nowhere to go The wasteland is their home No food, No water, No way to survive Against all odds, they keep hope alive Fight on forever Don’t lose your soul Keep your hands held high Into our destiny We will ride A story passed along From the olden days Tells of a place Free from malice and rage In a desperate march They cross the barren lands But no green was found Only death in the sands One by one they fall The earth reclaims them all Having been deceived Their Hope was in vain Carried on the wind All their screams on pain (J. Zych solo)

Mad Max 07:01
I am the night rider I’m a fuel injected suicide machine I am the rocker; I am the roller I am the out of controller Down the road with fire in my eyes Driving fast, cheating death Faster, faster, faster, FASTER You can’t take me alive In a world gone cold With hot blood I still roam Bringing justice from the law No time to wait The wheels of fate Are rolling towards me IT’S DRIVING ME MAD The knight rider is dead Brought down by the justice of the law His peoples rage, on display Destroying all they see Upon the sea of hot asphalt With fury the gang rides Beating, stealing, raping, DEATH Into glory ride Marked by Toecutter’s dismay My family caught in the fray In exchange for the life of their friend My wife and child shall pay Trapped on a desolate road The getaway car goes cold As I race to the horrifying scene All I love is gone in an awful dream (J. Zych solo) (T. Rudny solo) (C. Johns solo) (T. Rudny solo) (J. Zych solo) I’M MAD

Road Warrior 07:18
ROAD WARRIOR Through the dust clouds and sandstorms I roam Through this ravaged world that I call my home Food and Fuel are in short supply Sought by the merciless, those who fight them DIE Only one upholds the law Lone vigilante kills them all It’s the end of the world Nothing left but roads He who drives the fastest WON’T PAY DEATH’S TOLL The highway is my battleground My engine is the call The warrior of the road DRIVES THROUGH THEM ALL The final outpost with fuel reserves maintained Comes under siege by outlaws unrestrained Between life or death, to skirmish or take flight Making their choice to flee into the night One man stands between them all Justice served, they will fall (J. Zych solo) (T. Rudny solo)

Thunderdome 04:50
TWO MEN ENTER, ONE MAN LEAVES!!! Coming from the wasteland Into barter town My supplies, followed here Nowhere to be found A deal is struck, with the witch Who will decide my fate Blood & sweat in the ring Both run down my face FIGHT TO THE DEATH With all your strength FIGHT TO THE DEATH With all your might FIGHT TO THE DEATH You have to win FIGHT TO THE DEATH Or it’s your life (J. Zych solo) Master Blaster, behind the scenes Controlling all the gas Equal parts, Strong and smart A giant killing mass In the ring, a dome of spikes Weapons all around Flying High above my foe I must strike him down (T. Rudny solo) (J. Zych solo) (T. Rudny solo)

Riding across a desert plain Searching for new land to gain An oasis of water lies just ahead Guarded by men to be slain Carrying our weapons, grasping our shields None who are weak shall remain Riding up swiftly killing them all Making them feel fear and pain Crushing, beating, destroying their homes A sacrifice is made in vain No one survives to carry on Leaving no trace of their name Five valiant warriors ride from the north Traversing across the sand Making a claim for the oasis hold Victory is close at hand An enemy escapes with the king’s royal crown The water becomes naught but sand We must ride forth to save our new home And all of those left in our lands Searching, hunting, chasing him down To restore the peace to our lands Slicing, Tearing, Breaking his bones The villain will die in the sands (T. Rudny solo) (J. Zych solo) Losing the trail and losing our way Feeling like all hope is lost The enemy is spotted, dead in our sights We must stop him at any cost Riding up swiftly, taking him down Tearing him limb from limb Searing his flesh Breaking his bones All that is heard are his screams Reclaiming the crown that’s rightfully ours Returning it back to it’s home Carrying it across the desert sands In a casing made of his bones As we enter the gates of our kingdom of sand The cheers could be heard far and wide The crown returned, back to it’s home Rain clouds soon fill the sky Nourishing waters fall down to earth Giving new life to our tribe Songs and tales will forever be told Long live the five Now that their quest has come to an end In peace they live their lives But not a soul shall ever forget The deeds of the warriors five THE QUEST FOR THE ROYAL CROWN

Judgement 06:33
You will see the day when your strength fails you A day when man and beast will perish You will try to run but I will pursue Taking from you all you cherish Do not pray to save your souls When the hour of judgement tolls I offered pain or salvation Laid a path to Valhalla’s gate You chose to face extermination You will die on this judgement day You will bear witness to the devastation Black clouds dark skies doom and gloom Your warriors will cry out in trepidation Like wretched babies ripped from their wombs (J. Zych solo) (T. Rudny solo)

Brothers come forth and have a drink with me On the morrow we fight, death or victory Join the fire, share in the glory, grab an ale Raise up your mugs, join the chant of our epic tale Into battle we shall ride With mace and chain held high But first we steal the night And raise our pints We sing triumphantly Ancient tales of bravery Our horns now filled with mead We face our destiny As warriors we toast and drink our fill Grab the first wench you see and make her squeal The band plays on, feasting all through the night Raise up your fist, let out your battle cry Prepare to fight (J. Zych solo) (T. Rudny solo) Into battle we shall ride With mace and chain held high But first we steal the night And raise our pints
