01. Valhall Awaits Me - Lyrics:
Blood gushes from the wound
The cut is wide and deep
Right before I turn around
He falls to his knees
A clear song rings in the blade
When steel meets hardened steel
I hear the sound of wood that breaks
A sword cuts through my shield
I drop the shield and grab my axe
A weapon in each fist
The first blow makes the helmet crack
The axe cut to the teeth
I rip the axe from the head
Covered in blood and brains
Leave the body lying dead
Ready to strike again
My sword cuts through clothes and skin
Like a hot knife cuts through snow
I smile as the bastard screams
When I twist my sword
Sword in my hand... axe on my side
Valhalla waits! Soon I will die
Sword in my hand
Axe on my side
Valhall awaits me, when I die
Bearskin on my back
Wolfsjaw on my head
Valhall awaits me, when I'm dead
I raise my axe above my head
My eyes turned furious rage
Yet more blood will be shed
This is a victorious day!
Blood gushes from the wound
The cut is wide and deep
As they turn around
I fall to my knees
Sword in my hand... axe on my side
Valhall awaits! Soon I will die
Sword in my hand
Axe on my side
Valhall awaits me, when I die
Bearskin on my back
Wolfjaw on my head
Valhall awaits me, when I'm dead!
02. Runes To My Memory - Lyrics:
We rode the rivers of the eastern trail
Deep in the land of the Rus
Following the wind in our sails
And the rhythm of the oars
No shelter in this hostile land
Constantly on guard
Ready to fight and defend, our ship to bitter end
We came under attack
I received a deadly wound
A spear was forced, into my back
Still I fought on
When I am dead, lay me in a mound
Raise a stone for all to see
Runes carved to my memory!
Here I lie on the river bank
A long long way from home
Life is pouring out of me
Soon I will be gone
I tilt my head, to the side
And think of those back home
I see the river rushing by
The blood runs from my wound
Here I lie, on wet sand
I will not make it home
I clench my sword in my hand
Say farewell to those I love
When I am dead, lay me in a mound
Place my weapons by my side
For the journey to hall up high
When I am dead, lay me in a mound
Raise a stone for all to see
Runes carved to my memory!
To my memory
To my memory!
03. Asator - Lyrics:
Thunder rolls across the plains
Thor rides in pouring rain
He rides to Jotunheim to fight
Lightning strikes when Mjollnir bites
Fire! - Burning in his eyes!
Fire! - His hate is pure see the lightning strike!
Fire! - Burning in his eyes!
Fire! - His hate is pure see the lightning strike!
Lightning cracks the blackened sky
Hear the thunder chariot ride
All brave men with hearts of war
Ride the path of mighty Thor
Son of thunder!
Lighting strikes
Son of thunder!
Son of thunder!
Thor Arise!
Son of thunder!
Son Of Oden
Thundergod
Master of War
Asator!
Fire! - Burning in his eyes!
Fire! - His hate is pure see the lightning strike!
Fire! - Burning in his eyes!
Fire! - His hate is pure see the lightning strike!
04. Hermod's Ride To Hel -
Lokes Treachery Part 1 - Lyrics:
Ride Sleipner
Ride for all you're worth
Faster then lightning
To the dark realms of the world
Through valleys of darkness
On our way to Nifelheim
To the halls of Hel
Where my brother waits
Wailing voices on the wind
Urging me to turn
Distant tortured screams
Cold blue fires burn
I hear the sound of river Gjoll
Running cold and deep
It's a golden bridge shines in the dark
The bridge that Modgud keeps
Over the bridge, on through the night
Hel is getting near
There are the gates, towering high
Afflicting me with fear
In her hall, at the honor seat
My brother sits in pain
Pale and tortured Balder greats
Bound by invisible frozen chains
I have come, to bring him back with me
The whole world mourns his death!
Please set Balder free
Give him back his breath!
If it's true, what you say to me
That the whole world mourns his death
If the whole world will weep I'll give him back his breath!
05. Gods Of War Arise - Lyrics:
Darkness flees the rising sun
The village lies ahead
It will awake to a new day soon
Soon they'll all be dead
We came in cover of moonless night
Fifty men at arms
Now at first morning light,
The church bell sounds the alarm
Sacrifice to Gods of old
Bleed them of their lives
Fresh blood on our swords
Gods Of War Arise!
Hear the tyrant screams
Shattering the air
They awake from soothing dreams
Into their worst nightmare
Fire sweeps their homes
They feel the dragon's breath
Consuming and destructive flames
Agonising death
Some seek shelter in the church
A refuge for those with faith
But we know how to smoke them out
A pyre will be raised
But those who choose to stand and fight
Will die with dignity
For the unfortunate few who survived
Waits a life in slavery
The day draws to an end
The night comes dark and cold
We return to our ships
With silver, slaves and gold
We gave them agony, as they fell and died
The Gods have granted victory
For our sacrifice
The day draws to an end
The night comes dark and cold
We return to our ships
With silver, slaves and gold
We gave them agony, as they fell and died
The Gods have granted victory
For our sacrifice.
06. With Oden On Our Side - Lyrics:
Finally the storm arrives
Out wait is at an end
Under dark winter skies
We make our final stand
For each of us, there are four of them
It matters not to us
We won't leave this field in shame
We are here to crush!
Futile to resist
You know why we have come
Futile to resist
The battle is already won!
Our hearts are full of pounding rage
Our mind hard as steel
Right before the dying day
We will have you kneel
The snow turns red from all the blood
Severed limbs and heads
A sacrifice to one-eyed God
He will claim the dead!
Under the winter skies
We stand glorious!
And with Oden on our side
We are victorious!
No retreat, no remorse
Victory will be ours
Blood on steel, sacrifice
Victory will be ours
Under the winter skies
We stand glorious!
And with Oden on our side
We are victorious!
Futile to resist
You know why we have come
Futile to resist
The battle is already won!
07. Cry Of The Black Birds - Lyrics:
Raise your swords up high!
See the black birds fly!
Let them hear your rage!
Show no fear!
Attack!
Charge your horses across the fields
Together we ride into destiny
Have no fear of death, when its our time
Odin will bring us home, when we die!
The ground trembles under us
As we make our thunder charge
The pounding hooves spread panic
And fear into their hearts
Our helmets shine in the sun
As we near their wall of shields
Some of them turn and run
When they hear our frenzied screams!
Draw your swords to strike!
Hear the Black Birds cry!
Let them feel your hate!
Show no fear!
Attack!
Charge your horses across the fields
Together we ride into destiny
Have no fear of death, when its our time
Odin will bring us home, when we die!
The enemy are in disarray
Ride them down as they run
Send them to their violent graves
Don't spare anyone
Dead and wounded lie all around
See the pain in their eyes
Over the field an eerie sound
As we hear the raven's cry.
08. Under The Northern Star - Lyrics:
The icy winter is creeping near
Dark skies above us
Biting frost is in the air
Darkness surrounds us
The cold piercing autumn breeze
Fills the longships sail
Soon the lakes and seas will freeze
And snow will lay its veil
Many years we have been away
Many oceans we have roamed
Now the North star guides us on our way
As we are heading home
The many hardships we've endured
That brought us rich rewards
Now the North star guides us home
With cargo full of gold
Many friends died on the way
Only few of us survived
But I would gladly trade them place
In Odens hall up high
The icy winter is creeping near
Dark skies above us
Biting frost is in the air
Darkness surrounds us
Soon the lakes and seas will freeze
And snow will lay its veil
And we will long for the summer breeze
When we can set our sails.
09. Prediction Of Warfare - Lyrics:
Ships were prepared
Weapons and shields
Sails were raised
We're heading out to sea!
Norway disappeared in the east
Our journey had begun
Helpfull winds gave us our speed
Under a warming sun
Heading to the emerald land
A fleet of 50 ships
An army of 2000 men, led by the king
On the horizon dark clouds arose
Thor rode across the black clouds
As the night rolled in over us
We felt the wrath of the storm
That night I was haunted by dreams
An omen, of what was to come
The serpent arose from the sea
Ready to strike
With hammer in hand
The serpent in pain, twisting in furious rage!
Fought for its life
The serpent escaped
Thor was in rage
My dreams began to fade
Awoke of my dreams
Sword in my hand
The break of dawn
Closing in on Irish land
Time to attack
Grabbed our shields
We came ashore
And saw the waiting horde
The fight was short and deadly intense
The Irish fought us well
But as we gained the upperhand
Their fighting spirit quelled
Ready to strike
With swords in our hands
The struggle with heart
The Irish fell to our wrath
Fought for his life
The king escaped
With fury divine
King Olav threw his sword.
