1.	Does Tomorrow Exist 05:10 video	lyrics	buy track
The sky turns red The earth will melt down All life forms in question All that’s left is the crown What do the few left want now Why do they ask for the chance It’s just a thought from the future’s past This won’t last Does tomorrow exist Or is it nothing but someone’s dream That fades into the darkness Maybe we dream of the future Set the path for an untold story The picture on the wall shows a face Look back it’s a familiar place Move to the front of the line The dream starts to align Don’t wake before the end You’ll have no existence Does tomorrow exist Or is it nothing but someone’s dream That fades into the darkness Does tomorrow exist Or is it nothing but someone’s dream That fades into the darkness Does tomorrow exist Or is it nothing but someone’s dream Will we wait to find the truth Does tomorrow exist Or is it nothing but someone’s dream Has the image faded far beyond A spirit is something the lies dormant If we do in fact see the future in our dreams And if we do not wake during the dream Then we are permitted to see it come to a reality If we do in fact wake during the dream Then our spirits will lie dormant for eternity
2.	Civil Unrest 04:15	lyrics	buy track
It starts with an idea to overturn the government Don’t wait for them to call Just let them know it’s time to fall As troops march across the land Marching begins within the city streets Time to break the steel chain We must understand their pain Leader with the thoughtless hands of stone Your tyrant rule is marked with death Your forceful reigns have choked the land We must bury your power deep within the sands Civil unrest is the punishment for unfair treatment Civil unrest is the march towards the victory line Civil unrest is the leadership that we must find Civil unrest defines that silence is the crime Secretly we devise the plans to overtake the underground power They believe they have the control But the rage begins within the hour Set the fires throughout the cities Overturn the cars that they drive Broken glass on the sidewalks It’s time to march so that we can survive Leader with the thoughtless hands of stone Your tyrant rule is marked with death Your forceful reigns have choked the land We must bury your power deep within the sands Leader with the thoughtless hands of stone Your tyrant rule is marked with death Your forceful reigns have choked the land We must bury your power deep within the sands If we give them give them what they want They’ll only steal and want more We’ve been hiding throughout the city lights It’s time for us to exercise our rights If violence solves the problem Then so be it we’ll confront the villains It’s not about winning a contest It’s about fulfilling a protest

Come over and let me buy you a drink I have something here that may interest you A deck of cards where every number is a winner Allow me to introduce myself my name is Jackyl just passing through town With these cards you can beat the town at any game they choose If you trust in what I say there’s only a small fee you’ll have to pay The next round of whisky is on my tab Let me deal you the first round You can see nothing has fallen to the ground Every card you choose will be an ace Now time is of the essence what will you choose to do Think about all-of the gold Now time is of the essence what will you choose to do I promise you can’t go wrong I don’t want much in return only half of what you earn is mine That’s my small fee by the end of every game the diamonds will be yours I am the only friend that you have I’ll make you win every time Just agree to my terms we’ll beat the town every night You’ve made the right choice to cross the line Trust me everything will be just fine Now time is of the essence what will you choose to do Think about all-of the gold Now time is of the essence what will you choose to do I promise you can’t go wrong Now time is of the essence let’s take a deck of cards And play every game they offer Now time is of the essence let’s take a deck of cards The magic will light up the night Everywhere we go the town is amazed of what we do With the cards we deal and all-of the riches that we’ve won And now we want more and more and more Now time is of the essence what will you choose to do Think about all-of the gold Now time is of the essence what will you choose to do I promise you can’t go wrong Now time is of the essence let’s take a deck of cards I must be going now I thank you for your gratitude Now I will take all of the earnings I know that I broke my promise I lied my name is Hyde
4.	Kingdom Of Death 04:36	lyrics	buy track
A glowing rock in the distance We all seek its wisdom Showing no resistance We found the lost kingdom The one, the place, they put the peasants to death The condemned, the gathering, the flame burns in the night And now we praise the sounds of the blade cutting through The foggy thick air And now We must Enter the kingdom of death And now We must Enter the kingdom of death The grounds are covered in snow The forest is grey and cold We follow the moon’s glow Can we break the hold And run, from the place, where they put the peasants to death The condemned, the gathering, the flame burns in the night Now we praise the sounds cutting through The foggy thick air And now We must Enter the kingdom of death And now We must Enter the kingdom of death And now We must Enter the kingdom of death And now We must Enter the kingdom of death This is where it all begins A scientific revolution To erase all of you sins Install a chip in your brain You will not feel any pain Now you can read the mind Tell us what happens next Such an intellectual find The kingdom has no remorse Now they must read the minds And locate the hidden codes The plan is right on course To read, the minds, and steal the plans of tomorrow The condemned, the gathering, the flame burns in the night Now we praise the sounds of the blade cutting through The foggy thick air And now We must Enter the kingdom of death And now We must Enter the kingdom of death And now We must Enter the kingdom of death And now We must Enter the kingdom of death
5.	Doomonic Power 05:37	lyrics	buy track
Evil lurks within the system This is what said to us all I don’t believe a word they’ll say anything just to get their way No one ever said it before Technology for the good of mankind Now I know something just isn’t right We can find the lost secret Discover the power that it holds And we’ll use it for the weapons Witness obliteration as it unfolds Who is to blame It never ends it’s all the same Look there they’re pointing fingers It doesn’t matter the stench of death lingers We do what we can do To survive this environment It’s something they create Look around and see all the hate They say it’s for our own good I’ve yet to see their reasoning With the tech age they see our every move We can find the lost secret And the power that it holds Doomanic, doomanic, doomanic power They knew it all along They control us all They want us to believe That the silhouettes are not real Then why do they follow Us everywhere we go Then why do they aim The weapons right at our souls If this is not so real Then why is the truth so clear We’ve all become the puppets Always looking over our shoulders Doomanic power lives We can find the lost secret And the power that it holds A strange light shines Across the horizon screaming through the night Who now is to blame It never ends it’s all the same Look there they’re pointing fingers It doesn’t matter the stench of death lingers Arrest this madman He speaks words of non-truth The secret is now exposed The that everybody knows
6.	The Evil Elite 04:51	lyrics	buy track
Man in the suit standing over there Why do you think that you can steal You take from the poor and take from the innocent Without a care they have nothing to spare Anything you say is all but a lie The crimes you commit are all in the contract A devil in disguise a two-faced man Your briefcase is worn now you have sworn Now you are one of them You feel no guilt within Sworn to secrecy the evil elite Now you are one of them You feel no guilt within Sworn to secrecy the evil elite A righteous saying We never who is paying Bank accounts go dry we never ask why The trust is in you the world is promised Broken dreams you prove continue on with lies The car that you drive was built by the hands That loan you the money you take their last dime You have the ties the circle is golden The book of secrets will never be revealed Now you are one of them You feel no guilt within Sworn to secrecy the evil elite The crimes you commit will go undetected The underground world has you protected The economy is bankrupt your account is flush The bringer of evil someone you can trust The stocks are low you seem to smile The oil is gone where did you hide it It’s never too late to learn from mistakes And never to trust the man in the suit Now you are one of them You feel no guilt within Sworn to secrecy the evil elite
7.	Confrontation On The Frontlines 04:48	lyrics	buy track
It starts with a trench and they hope that they will survive Nobody wants to be here but they follow their orders They think of the danger and what it might do to their futures Blasts all around and there’s never a moment to waste Hiding in the dust Looking to see who’s out there A tank that has a lot of rust This game we play is never fair The air is still and cold The clouds move across the sky Confrontation we’re told We don’t know the reasons why We make our move now and we run towards the enemy’s line We hope we can catch them off guard and they won’t fire back We get close to them and artillery is unleashed We hit the ground and we dodge the flying shrapnel The world becomes a blur Slow motion in effect We try and take cover What do they all expect War is a terminal disease Why are you my enemy They tell me do as you please We make the rules as we go I though this was all a dream then I realized The firing began to get louder Boots shuffling across the rubble The trenches are starting to fill up with all-of the bodies Both sides are losing there truly is never a winner Exchanging gun fire is turning the fields to a death zone Cameras far off in the distance will glamorize this mess Where do we go from here It never made any sense Should we shed a tear Confrontation never ends Echoes in the fields Soldiers fall to the ground We’re not here by choice Such a disturbing sound
8.	Ritual Steel II 05:04	lyrics	buy track
Someday very soon the story will unfold The truth will eventually be told It always has been the law of the land The witches left no traces in the sand What they found was a tarnished piece of steel They knew it was something that the whole world would feel So they began to sharpen up the edges In the 15th century the fate of the steel loomed The land would flood and become doomed The steel floats to sea then begins to rust Eventually will turn into dust An ice storm will petrify the steel that they need Not knowing that the storm has planted the seed For the rising defiance of the ritual steel The time is here for the ritual steel Risen above the earth rising to take control The time is here for the ritual steel Risen above the earth rising to take control Now the steel sword has risen above the ground A dust cloud fills the sky blood drips from the sword A sign that no enemy will survive the power of the steel blade The sun gives light on a new path of destiny While the moonlight remembers yesterday’s battles And has proven the ritual steel has conquered all
9.	The Ritual Steel Hammer 05:14	lyrics	buy track
What ever happened to the warriors made of steel They ran far away never to return In its infancy stage the steel sword was taken It was melted down now we are all forsaken A false believer once told us to stay and wait We ignored all-of his words and disbelief A storm moves in take shelter before it’s too late The storm has power it will bring us nothing but grief The few of us that are left behind Are indestructible and hold the glass sword Razor sharp edges bring havoc to them soon Night fall has no path guided by the bleeding moon A false believer once told us to stay and wait We ignored all-of his words and disbelief A storm moves in take shelter before it’s too late The storm has power it will bring us nothing but grief They will see the wrath of the ritual steel hammer They will feel the reigns of the ritual steel hammer They will see the wrath of the ritual steel hammer They will feel the reigns of the ritual steel hammer They cannot hide from the ritual steel hammer They cannot run from the ritual steel hammer We’ve got the glass sword from the ritual steel hammer They will feel the power of the ritual steel hammer We see their shadows They know we’re close They’ve got weapons And we’ll shatter their shields They fear us now Their steel is rusted They seek shelter Which they cannot find A false believer once told us to stay and wait We ignored all-of his words and disbelief A storm moves in take shelter before it’s too late The storm has power it will bring us nothing but grief They will see the wrath of the ritual steel hammer They will feel the reigns of the ritual steel hammer They will see the wrath of the ritual steel hammer They will feel the reigns of the ritual steel hammer They cannot hide from the ritual steel hammer They cannot run from the ritual steel hammer We’ve got the glass sword from the ritual steel hammer They will feel the power of the ritual steel hammer They will see the wrath of the ritual steel hammer They will feel the reigns of the ritual steel hammer They will see the wrath of the ritual steel hammer They will feel the reigns of the ritual steel hammer They cannot hide from the ritual steel hammer They cannot run from the ritual steel hammer We’ve got the glass sword from the ritual steel hammer They will feel the power of the ritual steel hammer They will feel the rage of the ritual steel hammer They will feel the reigns of the ritual steel hammer They will lose the battle from the ritual steel hammer Complete destruction from the ritual steel hammer Ritual steel hammer Ritual steel hammer Ritual steel hammer

about

The North German RITUAL STEEL have been familiar to Metal insiders for almost two decades. Now we are finally allowed to welcome this cult band from the underground to Pure Steel Records. After six years drummer Martin Zellmer and his horde created a new album - "V".

Traditional heavy metal, both catchy and epic; fans of acts like Metal Inquisitor, Metal Law or other projects of Zellmer like Z-IRON will go crazy. US singer John Cason is always hitting the nail on the head with his striking vocals.

A true splendor of honest steel!
