1. Deceiver Of The Gods Since I was born they have kept me down, They have forced me to conform. I will tear down their holy crown in a vengeful thunder storm, I loathe their bloody righteous ways It fills me with despise, Fuelling flames of violent rage, I will be their world's demise. [Chorus:] Asgård's always been my home But I'm of different blood I will overthrow the throne Deceiver! Deceiver of the gods! All this rage, and all this hate, It burns me deep inside, And still it is, the only thing, keeping me alive. Dark ambition within my heart and it's aching to break free The one true nature of my soul, the giant lives in me. Kneel! You all shall kneel to me! Or death will set you free! You all shall kneel to me! Fall! You all shall fall to me! Vengeance will be sweet! You all shall fall to me! [Chorus:] Asgård's always been my home But I'm of different blood I will overthrow the throne Deceiver of the gods! [Chorus:] Asgård's always been my home I'm born of different blood I've come to overthrow the throne Deceiver! Deceiver of the gods! 2. As Loke Falls Heimdall gazes east A sail has caught his eye He lifts his hand and sounds the horn The undead army has arrived Here comes Nagelfar With Laufey's son on board He brings chaos, hate and wrath He brings the war to end all wars Heimdall knows his fate The end of all nine worlds It's what the Vala has foreseen He knows that everything shall burn Facing Lopt's deceit Now they finally meet The champion and his enemy On Vigrid's plains they'll find defeat Their swords meet in a mighty clash War cries sound, horns they blast Their eager weapons whip and thrash This day when all shall end The lords of war are equal strong This battle frantic and forlorn The blades sing a macabre song This day when all shall end Heimdall's blade bites burning sharp As it cuts through flesh and bone Blood comes gushing from the wound As Loke's head falls tumbling Rolling to the burning ground 3. Father Of The Wolf So he found the heart in barren land It was beating, still alive He held it gently in his hand And looked up to the sky With evil thoughts of vicious kind And sinister disdain His thoughts of bringing back to life The witch that died in flames [Chorus:] Serpent's kin Born of sin Dark within Father of the wolf! He then devoured Gullveig's heart And she was born again They brought to life an evil force A beast that can't be tamed With dark deception in his soul Betrayal of the gods The bane of Oden now is born Born of evil blood [Chorus:] Serpent's kin Born of sin Dark within Father of the wolf! They brought to life a malicious force A vile beast that cannot be tamed Fimbultyr's nemesis now is born A vile beast that can't be restrained Dark! Deception is his Soul! Betrayal of the Gods! Oden's bane is Born! Born of evil blood! [Chorus:] Serpent's kin Born of sin Dark within Father of the wolf 4. Shape Shifter I was born of giant's blood Raised in Asgård, the home of gods I am the master of disguise For this trait I've gained your prise Fast in thought, quicker tongue Brawl with me and you'll get stung I am the master of deceit My words bind or set you free [Chorus:] I am the walker on the wind The shape shifter Two-faced words And a lying grin The shape shifter You call me evil; curse my name But you only have yourselves to blame Order need its anarchy Balance through calamity We mixed our blood in olden days Now I wander like a stray We were brothers, now estranged I will have my sweet revenge My words are poison to your ears I say the words you fear Still you know it is the truth you hear Ragnarök is drawing near There you sit in Aegir's hall Waiting for the coming fall Council of the now condemned Twilight of both gods and men Face the facts; you're old and weak Empty words are all you speak No escape, there's no return The universe shall bleed and burn [Chorus:] I am the eagle in the sky The shape shifter Vicious wolf Howling in the night The shape shifter I am the walker on the wind The shape shifter Two-faced words And a lying grin The shape shifter I am the eagle in the sky The vicious wolf Howling in the night I am the walker on the wind Lying words, With an honest grin The shape shifter 5. Under Siege Outside these walls An army awaits But in these halls We feel safe Countless attacks We have repelled They won't turn back They cannot be quelled [Chorus:] Supplies are running low Starvation now awaits Reinforcements will not show They day is much too late Broken and weak Never give in Prospects are bleak We can't win There is no hope No time for lament End of the rope Our lives are spent We have held out for months Hoping for relief Our fortress now our tomb And salvation now our grief We have held out for months Waiting for relief Our fortune's now our own This is destiny [Chorus:] Supplies are running low Starvation now awaits Reinforcements never showed As the daylight starts to fade There's nothing left to lose We have run out of time There is nothing left to choose Expect how we shall die Open the gates! Now we attack! Ride into fate! No turning back! Stand by the King! To glory we ride! Weapons and shield! Together we die! All is lost now! Show no fear now! All the world shall know our bravery! All is lost now! Show no fear now! Let's charge for death or victory! 6. Blood Eagle Look to my burning eyes Plead for your worthless life All remorse I had has died And all I have is hate inside You took my soul from me You took my family You killed them all ferociously Now this is what I give to thee [Chorus:] Carved upon your naked back Blood eagle! Skinned alive your ribs are cracked Blood eagle! Still alive you gasp for air As panic strikes your eyes they stare Terror grips your dying heart Blood eagle! Helpless on the ground Hands and feet tightly bound In my eyes no mercy found My sharp knife starts to carve around Penetrate your naked skin Rip flesh and dig within With a pleased and twisted grin I spread your lungs like eagle's wings The burning grief is tormenting me The hate I feel is destroying me Only vengeance will give me peace Only vengeance will set my spirit free [Chorus:] Carved upon your naked back Blood eagle! Skinned alive your ribs will crack Blood eagle! Still alive you gasp for air As panic strikes your eyes will stare Slow death grips your tortured heart Blood eagle! 7. We Shall Destroy Sword and spear Wall of shields Standing strong On this their chosen battle field Form the lines Shield by shield Side by side We're marching into destiny March as one Don't look back Oden's sons Attack! Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won Our shields will form a mighty wall United we shall never fall Fear will not pierce our hearts Though swords and arrows will Victory is our reward For all the blood we spill We didn't come to waste our lives Like pawns in savage game Our spirits, spears And shields are linked In a much stronger chain March as one Don't look back Oden's sons Attack! All are one And one is all Side by side The battle calls All are one And one is all Shield by shield We'll never fall Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear Charge with force! Break their ranks! No remorse, crush their flanks! Pulverize their human wall! We shall destroy! 8. Hel Welcome to my humble home Your soul is mine to keep There are no walls of rock and stone Yet no one ever leaves Those wo die of age and plague Are welcomed in my court Murderers, miscreants Will linger here and rot Those who die inglorious And those who die in shame They are all sent to my dark halls They all shall fear my name [Chorus:] Here hunger is your plate Here famine is your knife Here you will forever dwell I welcome you to Hel I welcome you to Hel Now here you are in my cold realm You are my honoured guest At the banquette of the dead Your soul will never rest [Chorus:] Here sickness is your bed Here ruin is your fell Here you will forever dwell I welcome you to Here hunger is your plate Here famine is your knife Here you will forever dwell I welcome you to Hel 9. Coming Of The Tide Racing 'cross the arctic lands A mounted legion Under my command We're a brutal force No men can withstand Total havoc is at hand [Chorus:] See the black crows circle high Waiting for brave men to die They sense the coming of the tide When opposition's swept aside The fateful message Reached us months ago That our home was under siege And since that day We've been heading north Our kinsmen needed our relief As we near our fortress walls Black smoke is rising to the sky Burnt black ruins Of our father's halls And corpses greet our tired eyes What madness led them to attack Victory could not be won They must've known There was no turning back And now they all are gone No woman, child or man was spared Their bodies lying where they fell Suffering, anguish and despair As they went through living hell So now we're on the ride again And vengeance is Our newfound path We draw our strength From grief and pain These bastards shall know Our endless wrath [Chorus:] See the black crows circle high Waiting for brave men to die They sense the coming of the tide When opposition's swept aside 10. Warriors Of The North We were the warriors of the north Notorious and brave We'd never lost a fight in war We feared not the grave The ruler of this northern court My brother, lord, king He always had our loyal swords But we would feel his sting The ageing king had no decendants No heir to take his throne It filled his soul with fear Transcendent That next in line was my first-born The king's heart grew Full of dark deception Full of foul conspiracy This was when dark days Had their inception And we fell to his vile deceit Robbed of arms, robbed of pride But he spared our lives The fear he had of Oden's wrath Held his vengeful knife With hearts so cold we left our homes Banished from our land A life in shame, a life in grief Until we rise again Winters come, winters pass Twenty wasted years We're ageing men, our youth is gone We will shed no tears Winters come and winters pass Tenty years have gone Like a dream we fade away Into oblivion We are the warriors of the north Notorious and brave We're old but strong as before And we don't fear the grave From the south an army rises They ride under cross of gold From the shades we're called In a time of crisis To defend the king now weak and old As the flames of warfare rage higher We feel our destiny's embrace We are ageing men of an old empire Now we can see Valhalla's gates We! March again First in line To reach Valhalla's mighty gates We! March again March to fight To reach Valhalla's mighty We! March again Give our lives To reach Valhalla's Mighty royal gates 11. Burning Anvil Of Steel [Bonus EP “Under the Influence” Track]Rising up to reek havoc on this land A beast straight from hell with burning steel in hand White heat, blinding lights as the molten lava flows Total devastation as the power hammer blows Burning anvil of steel Cast by demons that dwell Burning anvil of steel Forged in the furnace of hell Hammered down, a crushing force of weight Razor sharp feel the metal penetrate Grinding pain, the sparks that rip and blind As Armageddon is brought upon mankind Burning anvil of steel Cast by demons that dwell Burning anvil of steel Forged in the furnace of hell Burning! Burning! Burning anvil of steel! Burning! Burning! Burning anvil of steel! Burning anvil of steel Cast by the demons that dwell Burning anvil of steel Forged in the furnace of hell 12. Satan Rising [Bonus EP “Under the Influence” Track]In the deep and darkest forest Night has reached its final hour Pagans dance 'round brimstone fires Lucifer comes to call Evil rites are getting higher Spinning fast hands to the sky Unholy chants around the pyre Heathens call, "Satan" they cry Sacrificial rites From the trees a blood-rain's falling The end of all mankind Satan stirs; he's heard their calling From the underworld Comes the beast arising Demons gather to behold From the shadows Satan's rising 13. Snake Eyes [Bonus EP “Under the Influence” Track]Life is just a lottery No matter how you choose But that has never bothered me 'cause I was born to lose It doesn't matter what the cost You know I won't give in And I don't care about the odds Because I play to win [Chorus:] You know I am a gambling man And I have paid the price Luck has never graced my hand When I roll the dice Snake eyes! I trust the way I live my life The choices that I make To the rolling of the dice No matter what's at stake Some will call me fatalist And some will call me freak But hidden in my throwing fist The fortune that I seek [Chorus:] You know I am a gambling man And I have paid the price Luck has never graced my hand When I roll the dice Snake eyes! 14. Stand Up To Go Down [Bonus EP “Under the Influence” Track]I caught your eye in a New York bar You were looking down at me An angel in black measuring in At just over seven feet Some fellas like their women short Some fellas like 'em round But me I like the kind of girl That makes me stand up to go down! Stand up! To go down! No man will throw her around Stand up! To go down! When we make out I can't reach the ground We took a cab, you got in the back But the front seat had to come out The car shook, the car bounced As you ground me pound for pound But back at your place you took the reins And saddled up, you rode me around And just as I reached the finish line You made me stand up to go down! Stand up! To go down! No man will throw her around Stand up! To go down! When we make out I can't reach the ground Stand up! To go down! I'm going down but I'm upward bound Stand up! To go down! In a crowd she's easily found Stand up! To go down! No man is gonna throw her around Stand up! To go down! When we make out I can't reach the ground Ted Lundström ‒ Bass Olavi Mikkonen ‒ Guitars Johan Hegg ‒ Vocals Fredrik Andersson ‒ Drums Johan Söderberg ‒ Guitars Lyrics in plain text format
