Einherjer Dragons of the North Dragons Of the North Lyrics by Gerhard Storesund Music by Gerhard Storesund As blood for wolves for riches and lust Onward with hammers to chest Villages burn,burn citys to dust And for fun they torture the rest Cold blue steel through a nice lady`s breast An avalanche of heathens set sail To show to the world of which men is best To conquer where others would fail Odin is working to eagerly form A great heathen fist from the north Pray for your life when there`s signs of a storm But praying won`t help when the dragons come forth Roaming the bow ,the berzerkers ,the fierce They know not fear or pain Women and children are swimming in tears While the berzerkers are going insane Scholared embodied by blood on the mound The clink of sword sound death chord Bearsloughs and wolfsloughs are shaking the ground Embraced by might the great northern horde Odin ,great warlord I greet you with hail This new god is weaker of class Grant me thy power ,your secrets unveil And I`ll kick this Christ right in the ass Dreamstorm Lyrics by Frode Glesnes Music by Gerhard Storesund For ages I have drifted , through storms and mists of grey With knowledge I`ve been gifted , and paths to lead my way Alone in realms of chaos , my solitude I seek I poisen therefore my arrow , and aim it at the weak Come my winds - my dreamstorm Soon I shall forever sleep Pale I have become Who shall for my fading weep For faded I have done Silently I welcome , the glorious mist of dreams Time to send the heroes home , their end justify my means Dawn of death , tears of chaos , echoes in my mind It pleases me , I am satisfied Closing in on death`s desire , though I am not alone With me comes my fear and fire , and a destiny unknown My twilight affects me , drifting still in dreams A gate opens in front of me , weary visions floats in streams Come my winds - my dreamstorm Soon I shall forever sleep Pale I have become Who shall for my fading weep For faded I have done Forever empire Lyrics by Frode Glesnes Music by Gerhard Storesund I still dream of paradise I still wake up crying I've seen the sun, of tomorrow rise I felt like I was dying I still dream of forever I still see me wave From the deepest pits of never Another soul to save I still long for the sun to rise I still fear the dark I've seen the signs of our last goodbyes Another submerging ark In bitterness I've tased my tears A burnt out soul of emptiness In lonliness I've touched my fears & closed my eyes for hopelessness Sail the waves of lunacy Bring my presence out of never The forever waves of time to be I set my sails for forever Sail the waves of the silent sea In empty winds under rainbows fire The forever winds won't let me be Wake me up from my forever empire I am my paradise Through my damnation you'll fall I am the wise In my eternity I am all You ask of me my sanity Divided you shall fall Your soul shall burn most certainly Below me you will crawl I am my own eternity My creations will not fail Dream or not it's real to me Your becoming I prevail From my fists burns my fire The emperor of my empire But there will be a better day Even I am doomed to fade away Sail the waves of lunacy Bring my presence out of never The forever waves of my time to be I set my sails for forever Sail the waves of the silent sea In empry winds under rainbows fire The forever winds has left me I am fading through the stars, my desire Conquerer Lyrics by Frode Glesnes Music by Gerhard Storesund Waiting for the morning For the sun to climb the mountains For the wind and the waves to answer my call My sword lies beside me My ship lies ashore But few will stand to fight by my side The snow is slowly falling And gently caress my skin Where the steel ripped my flesh My quest is now ended My home for me awaits Where she prays for my return When the winds are calling me I raise my sword with pride Full of hate and agony Through the storms I ride Fear is not yet known to me Fight me and you`ll see The vikingblood is strong in me The conquerer I`ll be Rans web is avoided Tall mountains salute me Home is home again to me I know by now What matters to me And those involved knows too Thunderstorms are raging Across the churning sea Towards the northern sky Awaits the northern stars The four winds are gathered Legions of pride awaits me As I hail the land of frost Fimbul Winter Lyrics by Frode Glesnes Music by Gerhard Storesund On the other side we'll stand We're the strong In another world we'll meet You'll be the sufferingone On the other side we'll fight With swords of steel In another world we'll win You'll worship us and knell You'll be the suffering one On the other side we'll fight With swords of steel Then a storm shall arise Turning the skies black Send up a howling wind Across the churning sea That's just the beginning of What awaits us all The next three years shall be Without summer or joy to man The sign shall be - The blazing sky The sign shall be - The grimmest cold The sign shall be - The freezing winds of frost The sign shall be - The Fimbul winter On the other side you'll meet Blades of steel In another world you'll meet Axes swung by hatred strong On the other side you'll fight The gods alliged In another world you'll fall Our wrath will find you all Axes swung by hatred strong On the other side you'll fight The gods alliged With fire and frost We'll tear your limbs apart With hammers and swords We'll crush your warriors With wisdom and strength We'll conquer your troops With hunger and pain You will remember us Bright shall shine the sun divine And unsowed fields shall grow Trees shall grow and rivers flow Through woods as green as man Has ever seen Brighter every day she'll shine The mother of our lives Though I don't want to live to see The day Ragnarok take our lives away Storms of the Elder Lyrics by Rune Bjelland Music by Gerhard Storesund Awaken thou one eyed God, Rise again from tine slumber! Give us a touch of the elder strength Flowing in your veins And give us again the courage to crush The embers of the faded ones A lightning ripped the sky The signs of ancient beliefs enlighten The inner chambers Of forbidden knowledge Oh, rise the storm of the elder Let again Gungnir fly Into the chests of Giants, And release again the power Of your eight-legged horse Ride again in front of the Oskorei And lead fear into hearts of men Enlighten the path for those of the elder spirit And guide them into glory We enterd a long gone and forgotten vally It's habitants flames of life long gone Ceased by a dark and ancient plague In the heart of this forbidden place, We awakened the spirit of the past, And we entered the dawn Of the slumbering one Odin opened his eye And looked out into the world He lifted his arms to the sky And called for the other gods And commanded them to awaken From their ages of slumber Again they rose from the ground, For these where still embers Of the lost faith of them In the halls of Valhalla Slaget ved Hafrsfjord Lyrics:Torbjorn Hornklove's kvad Music by Gerhard Storesund & Frode Glesnes Hørte du i Hafrsfjord hvor hardt de sloss der, Storaettet konge og Kjotve den rike? Knarrer kom øsfra, lystne på kapplek, Med qapende kjefter og krot på staunen De var lastet med haermenn og hvite skjold Med vestrøne lanser og velske sverd Berserker remjet der striden raste, Ulvhedner ulte og jernvåpen skalv De fristet den framdjerve, han laerte dem flykte, Østmenns storkonge, som utstein bor Da strid var i vente, snudde han havhstene, på skjold det hamret, før Haklang falt Lei av å verge landet for Luva, Den halsdigre kongen tok holmen til skjold De drog seg under setene, de som var såret, Satte stjerten til vaers, stakk hodet i kjolen På baken lot de blinke blanke skjoldtak, De tenksomme segger, da steinene slo dem; Austkylvene aste avsted over Jaeren, Hjem fra Hafrsfjord - husket på mjøddrikken Ballad of the Swords Lyrics by Frode Glesnes Music by Audun Wold , Gerhard Storesund & Frode Glesnes Across the moor We norsemen rode & skalds to us song That days of glory Soon should be When swords blood-red were swung "One eyed father Give us strength My brave kinsmen & I In Valhalla I Your mighty men will meet If I in this battle die From the sky your ravens watching me Both of them I see Thank you Father For letting me know You watch over me" At the moor The ravens spoke to me While skalds did their song A bitter loss Was soon to come For those I were among Across the moor We norsemen rode & skalds to us sung That days of glory Soon should be When swords blood-red were swung I say to you - I ask you to For once be your own lord Come with me Be a part of my Ballad of the swords A sudden clash Where swords were drawn Was the beginning of my end With a norsemans pride & courage I fought I would to Hel them send Instead I felt Cold chilling steel Stab me from behind A cravens deed Indeed it was Peace he should not find Faded I did Strange beauty I met The dream for me came true Brought up I were Bifrost I saw My mortal life were through Your mortal life With children & wife Wouldn't have no value If you knew as I About life up here You would die to be here forever......
