Alas headlong we fly into the battle
A war that should not have come has just begun
We fight to the death for the gold that lies in the caverns
Deep within the mines of Jaridan
Two Kings with a hunger for wealth they call out their armies
To decide once and for all who’ll take the mines
From the plains of Paxadon the mountains of Dawns Lear
They come with great speed to spill blood under twin suns
[Chorus]
All though our mission is bold, Our hearts tell us we’ve been betrayed
Blood is more precious than gold, Men by the thousands they die
Their fate in the hands of the Kings, Nothing but gold in their eyes
We fought until the forth night until it all ended
Until there were no more men left to fight the war
The Kings they met on the field to survey the bloodshed
An undeniable wrong for which they were the source
The men were brought to the mines for the final vigil
The Kings they vowed it would never happen again
Weapons armor and men were laid near the treasure
Then they sealed the catacombs of Jeridan
[Chorus]
All though our mission is bold, Our hearts tell us we’ve been betrayed
Blood is more precious than gold, Men by the thousands they die
Their fate in the hands of the Kings, Nothing but gold in their eyes
[Chorus]
All though our mission is bold, Our hearts tell us we’ve been betrayed
Blood is more precious than gold, Men by the thousands they die
Their fate in the hands of the Kings, Nothing but gold in their eyes
The Price OF Greed Is Tragedy

Ah where to start with this! Late to the party when I stumbled across it in a record shop and was talked into buying the "metal record" by a cousin.
Almost single-handedly rekindled my flickering love of NWOBHM, led me down the rabbit hole past the "name" artists and honestly has affected my listening habits to this day.
Cannot recommend this and its (at time of writing) three siblings enough. Waiting with bated breath and crossed fingers for more! goatcrust
Unabashedly and almost cheerfully Epic, this Old School Metal offering is guaranteed to warm your heart of steel. If you like Slough Feg or The Sword, you should definitely check this one out. Grendel's Sÿster
