1.	The Triumph Of True Metal: Part I 14:56	lyrics
I. RIDING TO BABYLON Warriors ride like hell For the town of Babylon To fight the false and evil Worshippers of glam rock! And bring the Whore down from the throne Thousands horses neigh Through the mist of night they call Beneath the ground is trembling Gallop shakes the Earth! Run, go, go and save your soul Here we are! In The land of Filth and Disgrace We will fight! So prepare! For the battle you false ones beware All beware! Heavy armours shining Upon white winged stallions We're coming down the mountains Holding torches high! It's the invasion of Metallians Here we are! In The land of Filth and Disgrace We will fight! So prepare! For the battle you false ones beware All beware! II. ATTACK AT THE VALLEY OF SENAAR (SKULLS) Warriors pour out Axes strike out! Blood in the air Screams everywhere All unprepared They double-back scared! Unable to fight They take to flight So go the pace, spread the news True King's here, pay your dues Babylon tonight you"ll fall Burned down who'll hear your call? III. ANXIOUS NIGHT (THE APPEARANCE) (instrumental) IV. STORMING THE GATES We storm n' pound the gates with rage They're terror-stricken in their cage Guardians stagger, fall from towers You won't come down alive you cowards Back and forth, the walls won't stand Like a paper they will bend Crannies are getting deeper! Blows are coming fiercer! Fiercer! Fiercer! Keep on storm n' pound The gates will soon come crashing to the ground
2.	The Triumph Of True Metal: Part II 16:33	lyrics
I. THE DESCENT OF TRUE METAL KING (instrumental) II. WAITING FOR THE KING Waiting for the king(2) Everyday they sing Everyday they sing for the King! His white winged horse he rides With vigorous strides The waters he agitates Heading to the crumbling gates Waiting for the king(2) Everyday they sing Everyday they sing for the king! His eyes burn into the dark He bears True God's mark Warriors stand aside King's way opened wide! And the fighters are singing Hear the golden bells ringing! III. MASSACRE IN BABYLON The smoke is dissolved Forth lies the false kings' beloved Evil masses unwrapped ahead It's time to strike them all dead! Your arrows are melting at the touch Of our shield and battleaxe Your swords n' spears cut in two Hail n' storm are hiding you Yea thousands n' thousands fall dead By our axes stained red Our chariots ride upon their corpses Our catapults rip their towers digging fosses We bring with us the four winds of the Earth Taking away your dirty wealth Fire is burning eveywhere Dust n' mire is what you share Victory!
3.	The Triumph Of True Metal: Part III 15:23	lyrics
I. BABYLON FELL With the first light of day The trumpets would play Gladsome news to ray! Babylon fell as old Prophecies had foretold True Metal King is Lord! Metal army parades Back to the Golden Age Whore's glamour fast it fades! Debris scattered all around Babylon razed to the ground Now the True King is on his way To find the Whore and make her pay II. THE CHASE There is Vavel the last standing tower Built on the centre of Babylon Inside the Whore cries on her final hour Her fabulous riches they all have flown! She pops out, then in scared! True King's approaching fast like bird Jewels and necklaces fall down from the stairs! True King his sword prepares You can't escape, you're gonna pay Don't you know this is your Doomsday(2) Her heart is pounding stronger! She can't run any longer Exhausted she stumbles Before True King she crumbles! III. THE DECAPITATION OF THE WHORE Babylon, mother of all whores! I'm True King, Lord of all lords! You can't hide from the Truth You deserve no Ruth! As True King pulled His sword To give her final reward I heard the devils rave Their whore queen they couldn't save The Abyss opened wide Worms dragged inside Tigers screamed up roaring A strange wind started blowing Guilty for all this bloodbath! Saints and innocents' wrath All fall on you! Hell awaits, awaits you! The whirlwind started turning Turning round like hell Taking the jewel rubbish Down to the Black Abyss The Whore could hold no more Her fingers to the floor True King's sword teared the air The Whore screamed in despair!
4.	The Triumph Of True Metal: Outro 03:59	lyrics

The smoke is dissolved Forth lies the false kings' beloved Evil masses unwrapped ahead It's time to strike them all dead! Your arrows are melting at the touch Of our shield and battleaxe Your swords n' spears cut in two Hail n' storm are hiding you Yea thousands n' thousands fall dead By our axes stained red Our chariots ride upon their corpses Our catapults rip their towers digging fosses We bring with us the four winds of the Earth Taking away your dirty wealth Fire is burning eveywhere Dust n' mire is what you share Victory!
6.	Babylon Fell (alt. version) 04:48	lyrics
With the first light of day The trumpets would play Gladsome news to ray! Babylon fell as old Prophecies had foretold We all pray to our Lord! Zeus! Metal army parades Back to the Golden Age Whore's glamour fast it fades! Debris scattered all around Babylon razed to the ground Now the True King is on his way To find the Whore and make her pay
