Prelude: Heading For The Golden Hall With the cold northern wind we travel We're on a journey of a lifetime And we'll fight many battles on our way We'll trample the bodies of the dead as we travel We'll go on ‘til the day we die And reach our destination: The golden gates of Valhalla! 2. From Wilderness Came Death Screams in the night woke the whole village up Their cattle is getting attacked The fences are broken and blood everywhere Horses are lying there slack Fenrir divided, a horde of greywolves His power inside of them all Feasting on the guts of both stallions and goats No animal in there stands tall The people were struck by terror and fear While beasts intruded their ground Like the flow of a storm that none can control Cascades of blood in the pound Spears were thrown at the raging wolfhorde So hard to select them all out (in the night) Running with bloodied fangs and fierce eyes It sure doesn't help much to shout In from wilderness came death Wolves in the pound!!! Setting some torches on fire might scare But will them beasts disappear? The scene turns real grim when the creatures change course Grotesque, exploding fear Thirtythree persons in spite with the wolves So hungry and dangerous Only much later when the sun rises One can count the loss The horrible fur-beasts defeated 'em all And the yard was a bloody mess A village of death, Fenrir's cold work Of entrails, bones and flesh The people they fought in vain for their farm Wolven hunger got fed After this night of terror and pain All the humans were dead In from wilderness came death Blood on the ground!!! 3. Valdr Galga I know that I hung in this tree All of nights nine Wounded by the spear, given to myself Enlightened I'll become No horn they upheld, nor handed me bread I looked below me, aloud I cried Caught up the runes, caught them up wailing Then to the ground I fell again I know that I hung in this tree All of nights nine Wounded by the spear, given to myself Enlightened I'll become From the son of Bolthorn, Bestla's father I mastered mighty songs nine And a drink I had from the strongest mead Got out from? thraerir Valdr galga Yggdrasil must abide More than to men is known The hart browsing above, it's bark rotting And Nidhogg gnawing beneath 4. Arising I would wake warriors great Summon warriors of the oak High as a pine in the forest Summon those who sleep Wake those beneath the grass Buried deep under fields Under sacrificial graves In the burning earth Carve runes upon the horns Stain them red with blood We mumble our spells and sing our hymns Filled with lust we drink The mead so pure and strong Proffered by smiling maidens We praise the taste on our tongue Mead blessed for us by Odin My father he has promised That glorious I'll become Standing high in the stern Steering the ship so worthy Slained in battle I rise again Brought to life by a heathen spell The sea was my home, I ruled the waves Without fearing my death Arising from the realm Where the dead are screaming in vain Bring forth the day And I'll fight by your side Born here in northern land My vision's been clear since long ago My heart will bleed as I walk upon earth My fate lies here, carved in stone I'm surrounded by fires I behold this fearsome night I was born as a wolf But raised as a human 5. A Moment In Valhalla Horns raised and filled with the finest of mead Valhalla's warriors battle succeed The lodge so enormous, so many in here Valkyries serve us the best flesh and beer Forever we'll sit here, to eat and drink well All of us heathens on a battlefield fell Our death went divine to Valhalla came Another brave name for the golden hall's fame Inside the great lodge where delight does stream A beautiful valkyrie in every man's dream "Woman come over here and sit on my knee! In the great sky tonight you will see Up there I'll show you the mighty starsign The shape of Thyrfing trapped in time That sword my life once before took But now in Valhalla, tonight we will fuck!" Where delight is streaming Fallen warriors gleaming Soon we'll be there in the goldenmost hey Crawling around each other ‘til the very next day Eight hundred voices in a drunken chant Some dance around the tables, stand straight they can't Throats are getting wet, throats are getting dry There's a lot of mead in the horns raised high The feast goes on forever, for ages it will last We're all getting glorified, thinking about our past 6. A Great Man's Return Under Norve's starfilled sky In a forest so deep and wide Eight hooves are thundering By the mountains darkest side In the shadows two grey shapes Hungry stalking their prey A long time has passed Since they went away This is the call for a great man's return Longing for the old age, let this world burn I yearn for retribution, I want fields stained red Odin show us that you're not dead Northern king... return Follow the path we make, longer for every day Warlord... return Your eyes in the sky will show you the way Northern king... return We will be waiting, thousands and thousands of men Warlord... return Together we will drink, fight, die and live again Under Norve's starfilled sky In a heathen forest deep and wide Sleipner calm is standing With Odin by his side By his feet two wolves are lying Feeding and resting in the night A long time will pass Until bloodred snow becomes white 7. Storms Of Asgard A desolate aeon has passed since the demise of our crown A tragic end which made hecates and predictors wail But dragons still sleep tranquil in proud heathen hearts At first they came wearing their most innocent masques Telling vikings vague stories about a nazarene whelp While keeping their swords drawn behind their backs Storms of Asgard Engulf the unfaithful Storms of Asgard Reclaim your throne They spread their odius thorns all over northern soil Some unfaithful sheeps swore allegiance to them But some rather died Their craving and megalomania became too much Raping northern soil before pagan eyes spawned hate There where great battles but the outcome were not The pagans volcanic wrath is still alive in our hearts And the white veil which still covers us Will be torn apart 8. Askans Rike over nordmans stormande grav Klagar den enogdes blick Pa himlen Tor ilsken rasar Under korset slav askgudens fader, Vassa ditt spjut Hoj baneklingan annu en gang Bryt ulvens katting Vilan? ar over, Vantan ar slut Fenris, jaga honom, folj hans spar Faders motvind har mojnat Nar hans boning blivit ruin I korsets aska vi en ny groda sar I brand mark finnes den bordigaste jord Humle och malt skall sla rot I ditt kadaver Forgor, den eviga fienden till hednisk hord Askans rike ur blodshamnd fods Hoj era horn I en skal mina frander Ulven fann sitt byte? annu en gang Pa strupen syntes marken Fran asars hander och vargars tander *vocals by jocke 9. The Deceitful Distrust rules in Asgards heart Farbautes son is spinning his web With laughter, lies and malicous acts Infecting our divine paradise But we can not kill you, we are bound as we cry A sign of death before Ragnarok arrives! "So hoder, why don't they let you shoot at your brother? Here, take this arrow, I'll help you aim..." Loke - spawned by giants you came to us Deceitful - if we can not trust you, who can we trust? Your outrages are many, with that we must live As your stepbrother I must you forgive Your children will haunt us, and we will them meet In the final battle, when you sail your fleet On the flaming sea, you stand in the stern Still you are laughing, in the fire you must burn! "So Tyr, where is your right hand? Seems like Fenris still has it between his jaws..." 10. Firever Crawling shadow Nighttime abomination Beyond daylight lurking Hiding from the sun And he who mist breath Is the ghost of my time The soul of my kindred The blood in my veins In flesh he was mighty An enigma yet real He was a fierce slayer Feared by those not insane Warrior... Utter usurpation of foreign shores Axemaster and berserker without remorse Warrior... The might and courage he possesed Are in treason times qualities opressed Firever... Underworld dweller Arise and tyrannize Thyrfing warmongers Wants you warlike again Descend Let the air fill your lungs Your prevail is my victory New tales are to be told New tales carved in stones Tales spawned by enemy blood A fire deep within Fire forever 11. Mimer's Well In the dawn of time, when Ymer lived There was no sand, nor sea or waves There was no earth, there was no heaven An endless abyss, gasping like a wolf Before the sons of Bor, raised the lands to the sky The ones who Midgard created The sun shone upon stones The grass was left untouched And the earth slept in peace "I know it all, where you hid your eye Down in Mimer's well He drinks your mead, your source of wisdom He is drinking of your blood" The well won't dry out as long as I live I can promise you But the sun will never shine over worlds nine The final battle awaits In the shape of an eagle, I flew And I drank of Kvasir's blood I created, I enlightened But what is left today? From Hlidskjalf I behold I watch over you nine worlds I remember In ancient times, giants spawned But what is left untouched?
