• commodore 64 oyun müziklerini andıran solosu pek kafa sikmektedir bu şarkının.
• ciyak ciyak eşlik edip, eşşekçe bir zevk almak isteyenler için sözleri şöyledir:
  
  on a cold dark winter night
  hidden by the stormy light
  a battle rages for the right
  for what will become
  
  in the valley of the damned
  a warrior with sword in hand
  travels fast across the land
  for freedom he rise
  
  and the sign from the master on high
  he screams a loud and across hear the cry
  for the kingdom of fire and ice
  and the power to be alive
  
  be strong, ride on, carry on through the war
  (burası pek anlaşılmıyor/sallanabilir ''x on'' şeklinde), carry on, living for ever more
  
  on the wings of death
  by the hands of doom
  by the darkest light
  from the darkest moon
  
  crossing silent seas
  over mountains high
  all will stand as one tonight
  
  on the black wind forever
  we ride on together
  destroying your evil with freedom my guide
  when the master will call us
  he stands high before us
  our hearts filled with splendour
  our swords will shine over the light
  
  in the valley of the damned
  day breaks with golden strand
  over pastures green it glows
  to where night returns
  
  on the shadows faces appear
  warriors wearing full metal gear
  join together one and all
  before the glorious light
  
  rise up! gather around! come and hear what is said
  use your senses! open your mind! don't you ever forget
  
  on the wings of life
  by the hands of hope
  by the brightest light
  from the brightest sun
  
  crossing silent seas
  over mountains high
  to the valley of the damned
  
  on the black wind forever
  we ride on together
  destroying your evil with freedom my guide
  when the master will call us
  he stands high before us
  our hearts filled with splendour
  our swords will shine over the light. (solodan sonra tekrar)
• cok cok kaliteli hayvani bir parca.. power metal nedir dersinde okutulmali, ilkokul ogrencilerine zorunlu ders olarak verilmeli.
• bahsi geçen dragonforce şarkısının nakaratı tanıdık geliyorsa, şundan dolayı olabilir:
  (bkz: pachelbel re majör kanon)
• hypocrisy'nin hayvani rifflerle, yırtıcı vokallerle adamı gecenin bir saati sürükleyebileceği en uç vadilere atan şarkısı.
  
  a taste of extreme divinity'nin gözbebeği.
