Discography:


Armour's (album, 7 August, 2012, Sanctus Gladius Records)
Format: CD

1) Armour's
4:02, lyrics:
This morning I did leave and never did look back.
I did grab my sword and walked away...

I didn't miss that old anymore and felt freedom in my heart
So I did wander forward where the road leads me

These woods around me there many people did go
But my way was straight ahead with this narrow road
So by the sword I wanted to live
Through the sword I wanted to die

I got now new name that old is all gone
I got now new directions where I shall go


2) North Wind
11:43, lyrics:
This mighty wind blows through my spirit
It freezes my feelings inside
That can not been escaped
That is about to happen
Here we are in this cold spot
Waiting revival that will come
Here we pray to see that day
When the waters again run free

North wind, go away from freezing me
North wind let me be
This day I wanted to be free
To lay on God’s word and my destiny

I did took my sword in my hand
I did rush forward in this sand
This sand tries to sink me in beneath
In the name of God I did get released
I fight these numerous fights
I try to just stay alive
I do believe stronger than ever
I want to be free, it’s now or never

North wind, go away from freezing me
North wind let me be
This day I wanted to be free
To lay on God’s word and my destiny

North wind, go away from freezing me
North wind let me be
This day I wanted to be free
To lay on God’s word and my destiny


3) Deep and Dark Forest
5:22, lyrics:
This night at my path,
I did wonder in this forest
It is so old and gloomy
It chills my skin and bones

I pray to you my God
I need some one to protect
I see this time so full of fear
I don’t see hope in this moment

Angel:
Didn’t you know that God did sent me
He did sent me long time ago
That this path of yours be safe and clear
I do watch you through your life

So deep is my anxiety
So deep is my inner fear
I feel the loneliness
I feel the creeping so near

I pray to you my God
I need some one to protect
I see this time so full of fear
I don’t see hope in this moment

Angel:
Didn’t you know that God did sent me
He did sent me long time ago
That this path of yours be safe and clear
I do watch you through your life

This day has been so foggy
I can not see ahead
This lone and dark night
Shadows cover my years

I pray to you my God
I need some one to protect
I see this time so full of fear
I don’t see hope in this moment

Angel:
Didn’t you know that God did sent me
He did sent me long time ago
That this path of yours be safe and clear
I do watch you through your life


4) Slumber of the Knight
4:49, lyrics:
This night has fallen on these woods of north
You lay down beside the fire, under this tree
The day has been hard for you wandering this path
Lay down now my knight and dream from better world

So I see you struggling even in your dreams
So I can sense the tension that had marked your life
The scars that path has left in your skin
Don’t worry; there is time past this time you too

Fly over the world in your dreams
Fly over the sea and mountains
In human life there is so much peace
In those eternal fields that you go there is peace


5) Awakening at the Dawn of the Battle
6:14, lyrics:
Sun shines straight to my eyes in this morning
I did open my eyes as the wind touched my skin
Night has gone and new day’s dawn shines red as the blood on the white new uniform

I wanted to fight for you
I wanted to die for your cause
I wanted to live by your commandment
I wanted to live or die because you

In this battle
In this life
In this glorified
I shall die
I shall die

Macabre as it sounds
I can see my self killed because my faith
I see the horizons shining in colours of the steel as the battle that I am coming for is on now

I wanted to fight for you
I wanted to die for your cause
I wanted to live by your commandment
I wanted to live or die because you

In this battle
In this life
In this glorified
I shall die
I shall die

So I raise my sword
So I cut by it
It will cut through separating flesh from bones
It shall cut separating soul from this flesh

I wanted to fight for you
I wanted to die for your cause
I wanted to live by your commandment
I wanted to live or die because you

In this battle
In this life
In this glorified
I shall die


6) The Battle
6:41, lyrics:
This is the time to draw the sword out from its keep
The dream is now faraway and there is time to fight
Till the bloody dawn of the end

The battle against old enemy is the battle this to be
We rise, O’ hordes of the light
We fight till the bloody dawn of the Armageddon

In this eternal battle
In this that reveals the truth
The lies and deceit will be whipped away
There are no more places for them to stay

Our horses are pure and white
Our shields shining bright
When we ride on the battlefield
Enemy will be blinded totally

Swords cutting demonic flesh
Evil worshipers will be dead
So long time they had tried to defeat us
We will stand strong and tall

In this eternal battle
In this that reveals the truth
The lies and deceit will be whipped away
There are no more places for them to stay

So where is your victory evil one?
So where is your home now?
You will be bound down in 1000 years
So we could have peace

Carcasses of the warlords will be eaten by the beasts
Eagles will rip their flesh
Their eyes are good for the ravens
Victory is finally ours

In this eternal battle
In this that reveals the truth
The lies and deceit will be whipped away
There are no more places for them to stay


7) Dead in Dawn
6:58, lyrics:
When I now see you lying in there
When I see the wounded body of yours
When all the battle is gone now
When all has been whipped away

Your body is dying now
Your spirit still remains
Your soul will rise above
In heaven your journey begins

Knight that I have seen fighting
Warrior that gave his life to me
You have been faithful
You have been true

I shall carry you through space and time
I shall take you into paradise
There you met all that had gone there
There is no pain so die in peace


8) Endless Light
5:35, lyrics:
Now you see after all the end and you will dwell in to the light
Eternal shores of golden glass that wait to you eternally

The light will shine into your eyes
God will shine there so bright

Now is the time to forget the past and concentrate in al this
No more pain no more sorrow that all has whipped away

The light will shine into your eyes
God will shine there so bright

Now you see the truth and meet the God of light
He is full of grace to you, you loyal and humble warrior

The light will shine into your eyes
God will shine there so bright
