The Return 04:27
The elders speak of a tale of old, the prophet’s stories that could soon unfold. Tarvaa tells of the great one’s return, a new age in which nations will burn. They stand no chance; this world will be ours. Our fate is determined by sky and the stars. To live or die is not the will of one’s own. The rebirth of an empire, as the blind one hath fortold. When shadow swallows sun and stars; when the wind howls like wolves in the night; Out of such great darkness, Our Lord will return. Gone are the days of our empire. Never forgotten. To this day we sing praise to those lost so long ago. Gone are the heroes from tales of old. Names eternal as the sky! Still we sing to the dead, praying for the Return! The elder’s speak of a tale of old, the prophet’s story of a day drawing near. The return of the Khan has been foretold The day that left the world spellbound in fear Rise, rise, rise from death Temujin Rise.

Takhil 03:12
Lay the beast before the stone. Hear the sound of rattling bone. Painted face sacrifice to the Gods above and below. Dagger thrust before the moon; herbal crust upon the wound. Painted face sacrifice to the Gods above and below. Set the pace unto a trance, pulsing to the shaman dance. Smoky herbs fill the sky, like the falcon we will fly. We will fly! Enrich your soul, absorb his gift, forget the price just feel the lift. Hear the cries! The other world speaks to you, feel the pain, don't let it slip. Colours spin in a blurry flurry while the voices speak to me. Irridescence intesifies, they dance and dance into the sky. Lack of senses leaves you fuzzy; the spectral beings you start to see. An unholy exchange of the soul… Green salivation dripping from a steel tongue. Serpent of slumber licking at my flesh Hills roll like waves. The sky reflects life slipping away Lay the beast before the stone. Hear the sound of rattling bone. Painted face sacrifice to the Gods above and below. The bones lain before the stone begin to shift, twitch, and groan. Possession, resurrection from the Gods above and below. Whip, sword, sash, and steed lay in wait of the Khan. Rise again mighty leader. Once again you are whole.

The Earth trembles at the return as it splits, cracks, and begins to churn. Great hands break through the surface of the Earth, so has begun the long-awaited rebirth. The prophecy fulfilled. Rising to stand upon the mountain of his youth, the Khan throws back his head singing in two tones . The Earth returns the sounds of his song with the percussive beating of hooves on the ground, the howl of the wolf, and the falcon’s cry. The sacred mountain’s song brings tears to his eyes. Aeons have passed since you last set this world ablaze! Bloodlines were tainted with each generation past. The sacred wolf-blood languished. The erosion of an empire but alas! Welcome an end to succession, the throne is for one Khan to own. The Khan of Khans returns to rule for an eternity to last. And now the Earth sings the song of his return with the percussive beating of hooves on the ground, the howl of the wolf, and the falcon’s cry. Praise to the might of the Khan now deified. Aeons have passed but once more you will set this world ablaze! Ride, fight with steel held tight. Resurrected cavalry howling through the night. Pride, might, and glory in sight. The long-forgotten clans will finally reunite. The time is near, they will submit to their fear! Ride with us amongst the dead, or we'll grant you a severed head. Ride with us amongst the dead. The unworthy will die! Hordes of undead massacre indifferently those who challenge unity Come and choose your destiny, bend the knee to unity. An age of division ended with precision. Fear not the end, it has only just begun. Ride, fight with steel held tight. Resurrected cavalry howling through the night. Pride, might, and glory in sight. The long-forgotten clans will return tonight We will burn this world to the ground. From the ash will rise a kingdom profound. Foundations laid millenia past will rise like an edifice The Eternal Kingdom united at last. Ride, fight with steel held tight. Resurrected cavalry howling through the night. Pride, might, and glory in sight. The long-forgotten clans will return tonight. They will return tonight! The time is near, they will submit to their fear! Ride with us amongst the dead, or we'll grant you a severed head. Ride with us amongst the dead. The unworthy will die Hordes of undead massacre indifferently, those who challenge unity

To the Wind 05:45
Within this ancient land Chinggis Khan has returned to glory. Riding down from the steppe to descend on the modern world. Great Wolf of the plain, yield the return of the Golden Empire; reclaim your spirit banner; lead us into victory! Khan of all Khans restore our former glory. Together we destroy today to make way for the New World Khanate Fight for loyalty, earn your place in the new world. Die honourably, and rise again in reverence. Cut away the excess of the modern world, the over population, and division of nations. All men who prove their mettle are equal under the sky, and those who don't were born to die Come and walk the olden trails of the ancient tales to victory and conquest over all under the sky. We are riding fast, we are riding free. The ashes of your nations will scatter to the wind Within this ancient land Chinggis Khan has returned to glory.

They rode the fastest horses, left the wind behind, thousand men. And one man led the way, the others followed by Genghis Khan They galloped over mountains and desert-sands They carried desolation throughout the land And nothing there could stop them in this world Gen... Gen... Genghis Khan Hey, rider; ho, rider; go, rider; let us follow Gen... Gen... Genghis Khan Hey, brother; ho, brother; hey, brother; hear us holler Who cares where we're going There's no way of knowing And we'll let the Devil take our souls Gen... Gen... Genghis Khan Hey, rider; ho, rider; go, rider; let us follow! Gen... Gen... Genghis Khan Go, brother; dream, brother; dance, brother; hear us holler! You can hear his laughter now and ever-after when he lifts his glass up in the air He was the greatest lover and the strongest man of his day And we have heard that all the women fell for him so they say And he bred seven children in one whole night. He had his girls around him at his very sight and nothing that could stop him in this world. Gen... Gen... Genghis Khan Hey, rider; ho, rider; go, rider; let us follow Gen... Gen...

High above the plains, stands a mountain tall; high above the plains, watching over us all Roots of our forebearer buried deep in stone. Stained with the blood of sacrifice. Our wars hold no meaning here on the cliffs of stone. May our ancestors hear our prayers The mountain weeps… The eminence of the mountain shines benevolence on her people. Yet, in the days of late the mountain weeps and the tears flow down the river High above the plains, you will hear the wolf's call; high above the plains, watching over us all. Our wars hold no meaning here on the cliffs of stone. May our ancestors hear our prayers The mountain weeps… Weeping is the mountain. The flames grows ever higher. I'll join you at the Onan 'neath the mountain's weary eye. Weeping is the mountain, it fills our hearts with fire. It bleeds into the Onan and reaches to the sky Here lays the halls of long dead ancients, buried and forgotten in the hills 'neath the sky. Long dead brothers of years long gone by. Their souls live on embodied by the mountain Like the mighty blade of the Gods reaching on to the Welkin, and piercing our world as it guides our way to Heaven. Pilgrimage of kings, the mountains sing somber songs of conflicts long untold. Beacon of hope, legend of old, cliffs of the Gods Tales of our ancestors forever to be told.

River Child 05:13
Between the glades of jade grass and the steppes of earth and stone; where the sky was pure and blue; there ran a river so strong and proud. There bore a child of wolf and faun. He fed from the faun and hunted with the wolf, befriended the falcon and sung with the wind. He was wild and grew to be strong. River child, wild and free! Come my brothers, and soon you'll see. Grace of the faun and cunning of the hound. No one knows where the child is bound. In these holy plains, a divine child plays. Forging the path for all of us to follow. O, gather round my brothers and lay witness to this gift from the gods. A golden child born of the wild. Lay praise upon him and may he gift us with seeded blood. Nature protects him, The welkin guides him, the boy painted all in mud. River child, wild and free! Come my brothers, and soon you'll see. Grace of the faun and cunning of the hound. No one knows where the child is bound. Between the glades of jade grass and the steppes of earth and stone; where the sky was pure and blue; there ran a river so strong and proud. There bore a child of wolf and faun. He fed from the faun and hunted with the wolf, befriended the falcon and sung with the wind. He was wild and grew to be strong.

Warband 07:14
Many years have past since we last gathered Now we stand tall as Gods Here we stand proud warriors Returned from the West War Band Brothers in arms, you bring honour to the dynasty War Band Grizzled and hard, your tales weave a legacy War Band Soldiers of the steppe, fullfilling our destiny War Band! At last, we now gather Here in our home land We have sealed our fates As rulers of the East! Together we've rode to battle We've seen such terrible things Yet here we stand, returned to our home We put our enemy to the sword, and broke them under foot Their cities we razed, The Empire reigns! We fight with growing numbers Our men rally on Many have come to fear us The Empire reigns! Now a thirst starts to gather for something more than drink We were meant to live by the sword Our quest is never ending We shall not remain for long Here my brothers will rise again! As long as I draw breath and my heart still beats I will follow you Until the very end, As long as I draw breath and my heart still beats I will follow you Until the very end With rising glory, we find ourselves Far away from the East. We are nomads, we hold no home We are War band, the Golden Horde. Rise, together now we will Fight, again in coming days We will die before bending a knee and they will Fly our flag or fear our name Together we've rode to battle We've seen such horrible things Yet here we ride, for lands unknown Our men have grown weary, Ready to fight again We were meant to live by the sword With rising glory, we find ourselves Far away from the East. We are nomads, we hold no home We are War band, the Golden Horde. War Band Brothers to the end, we fight together and rule the East
