Raven Eyes Black shapes cross the sky Once guardians of the pagan kingdom Christian men took our land But they did not take our pride Ravens wont give you any blame 'Cause no words shall be said They will just rip out your eyes And eat your precious heart Raven eyes watch from the sky You better stay in the shadows You better stay unseen Crusaders of the cross rape the pagan land A father and his son watch the troops Knights in shining armour and horses to carry their gold "Oh, please father, let me be a christian knight" Crusaders of the cross rape the pagan land A raven and his son watch from above Wimps in womens clothing and mules to carry their shit "Oh, please father, let me rip their eyes out" 2. Vargavinter Vargavinter - asars vrede... Vargavinter - vinden pinar... Vargavinter - frosten dodar... Lange har de vilat ut i Asgards starka famn Lange de glomda varit av Midgards nya folk Inga boner hjalper deras nya gud Ty han har frusit ihjal Hans ljus kommer att slackas... Vargavinter - asars vrede... Vargavinter - vinden pinar... Vargavinter - frosten dodar... 3. Set Sail To Plunder A viking and his warriors built a dragonship They're going out to conquer a feeble land Heavily armed with swords, axes and shields The swedes set sail for weaker ground Chanting hymns of Tyr, of Odin and of Thor A viking shall but win, berserker deep inside The warriors spotted land, treasure hunt is at hand Nobodys life will remain when they leave this shattered ground Without any fear, they walked in from the shore Mead is in the vikings to bring rageous attack Take them all, slay them all spare just one One to tell the story about a storming inferno Men from the north brought despair to the foreign land Treasure they now have to bring back home Villages were harmed and burnt, but vikings got their goods All the gold and treasures found their way to Sweden One should have seen how they crushed all their foes No damn warning for the pitiful scums They died within minutes when the great warriors came Children were drowned and women were raped Oh, how the lust of the vikings was great All their enemies met such a dreadful fate Smoke is rising to the sky, the village lies deserted Footsteps in the ashes, the only memory of the vikings raid The only sound that is heard is from vikings counting gold Not a single child in the village lived to grow old 4. Ur askan Ett Rike Norden hon stod, vacker och stolt en gang i en annan tid Heligt blod flot igenom hennes hud och slackte hennes torst Norden hon ligger, forkastad och fornekad i var kristna nutid En ny tid stundade och forslavad hon blev Strypt av den svage med sitt kors Ur askan av vart hednaland, vi reser oss och igen: Hans tro mot svardets makt Ur askan ett rike Tig och lyd du kristne fan Ned pa kna och be Oden lange i vrede statt Men nu skall ornar fa mat Den kristnes tro ar nu ett minne blott Och ornar sin foda fatt Lammet har svultit och finns ej mer En framtid i det forgangna vi nu ser I segertag vi vandrar med Oden forst Hon har aterfatt sin torst 5. Celebration Of Our Victory Torn and bloody our clothes they are As we march home from a battle afar Victorious we were, the raven's were with us A glorious triumph was reached by dusk We drink our mead in the light of the funeral pyre Just as the flames, our cups are raised higher and higher We drink to our brothers who in this battle have fallen We hail thee, whom the god's have callen Back in the village my woman awaits me The fairest of women with a flaming desire Her grace is to be seen by none but me My scarred heart is burning like fire Tonight is the night of viking's celebration A celebration of our glorious victory A victory that was surely not our first And certainly not the last 6. A Burning Arrow A burning arrow flew towards the sky To symbolize the fierce ones To manifest their pride Torches glows and axemen sings their rhyme Eternal damnation for bastard souls The lust for blood are spread among our lines All you can hear, a thousands battlecry Our pagan force make blood run down their spines The fury in our minds burns like Hel tonight The ground below are shaking As we burst on through the night Thor swing thine hammer In your honour we will fight 7. En Doende Mans Forbannelse Med sargad kropp, men en sjal sa stark Jag ligger pa frusen mark Snon fargas sakta rod, ett sista tecken pa min dod "Kloka korpar skall klosa dina ogon, nar i hoga galgen du hanger" Du min baneman, ditt namn jag kanner Dod mans forbannelse dig aldrig lamnar Ett sista satt att hamnas "Norves dotter, dig skall sluka Nattens fasor du skall lida" Frusen och doende jag ligger i snon Jag forbannar din usla sjal Nornor hor mig, lat min baneman fa lida Underjordens alla smartor 8. Hednaland Jag har lange vandrat pa denna stig Jag har sett hednars och kristnas krig Jag har stolt vandrat vidare Jag har varit en ensam krigare Skogen verkade vara andlos Skogen som aldrig skulle bli Lurad av vite krists hyckleri Nu verkar skogen vara doende Skovlad av goda man i blindo Forblindade av en falsk gud Nu nar ni overlamnat oss Till prasters galenskap Vi inte langre far slass Vi ar fast i fangenskap Men vi ger aldrig upp Vi skall kampa for var tro Ty valkyria till Odin oss tar Var allsmaktige enogde far 9. Wotan's Fire The fire that burns in the hall of the slain Is the wrath of the speargod himself The allseing father God of gods, for wisdom he gave his eye Betrayers will burn, betrayers will die His light will never fade Deny your origins, deny your belief And die by the everlasting fire... [Chorus:] His fire is stronger than steel You can try to save your empire Your wounds will never heal Try to run from Wotan's fire Tyrfing's blade will reach you all And slay the ones in our way We are the army of the north The army of pride Which is never to fall The call of the gods are our call into war And we will stay and fight We bring the fire of metal, we bring the fire of hate So die by Wotan's fire [Repeat chorus] 10. Going Berserk Heated by the strongest of mead my blood is boiling There exists no fear in a berserker in battle Oh, how sweet my enemy is recoiling His brothers have abandoned him They're running like cattle [Chorus:] Going berserk - as I rush into battle Going berserk - as I feel the smell of blood Going berserk - as I crush your skull Going berserk - I am high on death All my foes are terrified by the hatred in my eyes For me this is passion and lust For them it is nought but fear All realize my might, i a berserker born of fire and ice As they go against me they know they'll never meet their dear [Repeat chorus]
