1. Bastards Of A Lying Breed Bastards of a lying breed You've ruled us for too long Truth to you are lies to me And your right is so wrong Moral preached by immoral fucks All I feel is despise Lie no more you fucking cunts You tare me up inside Your sons die from your abuse But you're giving us the blame The easy path's the one you choose That road will lead to pain You're trying to control their mind And strip them of free will They way you force them to go blind Will surely get them killed My mind is free and so is my soul You can't put me in chains I won't play the well-adjusted role Or bow my head in shame So throw your stones of guilt at me Point your finger, Curse my name! Your scapegoat I will never be I won't take the blame! Now we're on trial to serve your crime And pay for your mistakes There is no way we'll do the time The chains of lies will break Censorship can't stop our truth We speak straight from the heart There is nothing you can do We'll tare your souls apart So see us rise we're few but strong We'll crack your fucking teeth And feed you with your twisted tongue Until you cannot breathe The fury makes our eyes see red It burns within our hearts Soon you'll all be stone cold dead We'll tare your souls apart! 2. Masters Of War STRIKE! Fast and hard, show no mercy for these men The vermin of christ, prophets of lies and their disciples Seek them out, hunt them down Break their spirits, crush their hearts Not even death will set them free from this pain CHARGE! Ride them down as they flee from our steel Draw their blood, make them suffer Before they die by war-field sacrifice Wipe them out! Burn their homes and fields Feed the wolves with their offspring, annihilate them all! Masters of War, torment every soul Rape every whore that carries the cross FIRE! Burn them all, burn them alive Send their souls to Deathqueen's hall To the land of cold burning flames Send them to the land of famine and despair Eternally they will starve and freeze 3. The Sound Of Eight Hooves He's running through the woods so black A loyal servant of christ Dogs are barking down his back He's running for his life He came with words of love and peace These heathens had to be saved He thought that he could make them see Instead he was enslaved In captivity he spoke of god To all he met he preached But when his master's patience ran out He knew he had to flee Tears are running down his cheeks As he sobbign realizes That in this land his god is weak And today he's going to die He stumbles out onto an open field Where an old oak tree grows In the branches hang men of three Dressed in preacher robes His knees refuse to carry him on Terror shines in his eyes His faith in christ is almost gone His god's left him to die Below the dead he says his prayers To the god he thought was alive When he hears a calm voice say: "SHUT HIM UP AND HANG HIM HIGH!" As his breath leaves his eyes open wide A bright light comes from above He greets this light with a smile And thinks: "There is a God" The sound of eight hooves reaches his ears Comes from the heavenly light Two wolves' howls fill his heart with fear And he sees two ravens fly Down from the sky a warlord rides Like fire his one eye glows And just before the preacher dies He knows his god is false 4. Risen From The Sea 2000 5. As Long As The Raven Flies Men will fight and men will die Wars will be lost and won That's how it's been and still will be Long after I'm gone Doubting not I give my blood So I may enter hall up high The sky belongs to Asagods As long as the raven flies 6. A Fury Divine Death is drawing near I know it's true but I have no fear I know I can't escape my: FATE! Turns it's deadly wheel Judgement day is closing in but still I cannot feel: REMORSE! Is for the weak I stand silent while they speak, their accusations are all: LIES! Spread by preaching men I'm on trial for being who I am And praising the Gods of my native land I will stand firm, I refuse to kneel The fury in me is divine My dark grave awaits, my fate is revealed But I'm not afraid to die Death! The day to die is here The sun rides high on the northern sphere And the executioner sharpens his: Axe! Shines in the sun I smile when they tie me down And hear the sound of the falling blade Death! Sweet death, relieve me from this world Death! Sweet death, relieve me, relieve: So death finally came to him The pagan man could not be turned He faced death with a grin Now his head rests in the dust The proud man stood firm, he refused to kneel Tehn fury in him was divine Now he is dead, his fate has been sealed He's brought to Golden Hall up high 7. Annihilation Of Hammerfest All is lost and foreign kings Rule the northern realms Hammerfest, the last outpost Has fallen to unbearded men Lords of the bloody cross Deceived or murdered all of true faith Now the temple of Thor, where Mjolner is kept Is under siege They fear the power of Mjolner The hammer of Thor And all their efforts to destroy it have failed From deep within the frozen ground Comes a rumbling sound Ravens fly and wild wolves howl Sending shivers down christians' spines As if from nowhere Dark and grim he appears The warlord of the Gods comes with force To retrieve The Crusher The first man died with a gurgling sigh When his head was crushed Painful surprise in his eyes As his life was snuffed With raw and brutal force The warlord breaks the temple doors The weak back off in fear On the altar it lies, he lifts the hammer high And before it he swears: `Allvise Ygg, Maktige Harjafader Guda av Asars och vaners att Hor mina ord, nar som jag svar Att om tusen vintrar ater ta var ratt? While he speaky his prayer Mjolner rests in the air As if holding breath Frozen by fear They gathered stand and stare And what they see is death A laughing cry fill the shivering night He lets the hammer strike A bolt of lightning bright Rips the darkened sky Fire of doom - Ignite! 8. The Fall Through Ginnungagap Once I was - Now I am no more A burst of flames threw me into oblivion The life I knew - Seems distant and unreal A fading dream, a memory I can't recall Am I real - I can no longer tell A notion tells me I still exist Infinite dark - Through this void I float Resting, waiting for the day When I will live again Eons pass or maybe I just blinked Deeper into this hell I sink Falling through Ginnungagap I'm pulled towards an unseen gate I seem to hear my name being called I float towards these cries of fate Faster than - the speed of light I am falling through universe Stars flash by - Before my eyes The time has come to return Out of the dark - Into the light Back into life I am cast By my side - A demon army rides We ride to reclaim that once we lost Eons have passed, I'm back from the dead Victory lies ahead 9. Releasing Surtur's Fire He's riding down 'cross a field but nothing is the same This place he knew as Hammerfest When the old Gods reigned The army of demons rides By his side with weapons drawn Today is the day When Ragnarok will be spawned There lies the mountain where the temple once stood Where eons ago he arose to spill their christian blood Stuck in the rock is a golden ring That yet noone's dared to touch The legend has it it's where the Crusher once struck He pulls the hammer from the mountain's grip The sign for demons to attack He's been called upon to arise and he won't spare a single life No, Thor (won't) spare a single soul, nor let them get away alive They strike down on the world with overwhelming force All resistance is brutally crushed, crushed without remorse Dark angels descend to join the bloodfight The slaughter brings them on, see Odin's Valkyries ride The battle of Midgard is almost won And the thousand years of tyranny will be forever gone Soon a new world will be born rising from the Sea Where Asagods again shall reign and humans will be free He rides once more upon the black mountain of doom Holding firm the Crusher of giants' bones He lets the hammer strike, now everything will burn As Surtur's fire is released upon the world 10.
