(Balder) Nightmares Demons haunt my taunted mind I'm scared My death's forseen ungloryful Plase Father Make my demons disappear Please Mother Death is everywhere (Odin) My son I've seen your fear I have felt your pain No harm will come to you An oath has been sworn (Balder) The evil forces around us Still wants to destroy me Who is the evil slayer I cannot see Loke the deceitful God Discover the arrow of death Pointed for the Hoder the blind by the jealous Loke The arrow cut through the skin And into the heart of the bright one Silence spread throughout the hall Aesir As the God of Light fe to his knees dying! Sorrow throughout the nine worlds The bright God is gone Sent to Nifelheim by the deceitful...
The bleak fimbul winter arrived Raging across the world With a fury that defied the memory of man Terrible wars where fought, the like had never been seen Men slew without a thought The ties of kinship were no more Skoll and Hati, the ravenous wolves Arose and devoured the sun and the moon Darkness descended upon the earth And the stars fell from the skies Loud blows heimdall the horne's in the air Odin quests the head of Mim Now shakes the holy ash where it stands The ancient tree moans, Fenris breaks free How are the Aesir? How are the Alves? Loud sounds Joutunheim Aesir comprise By the stonedoors dwarfs are moaning The mountains wise men Know you now or not? With his shield at hand Hrym travels from the east The serpant is turning, enormous in rage The serpant breaks the waves The eagle screams Nidhoggs tearing corpses Free comes Nagelfar Loke leads the legions of the dead In holy war Against the justice made by Aesir
Surtur comes from the south With red hot fire wargods swords shines like the sun Mountains breaks, men on hel-road The heaven crumbles, Ragnarok is at hand Then to Hlin appears Another grief when Odin goes to fight The evil Fenris And the brave and glory Frey goes against Surtur Then will Friggs beloved one die Vidar,Odin's mighty son, he will come to slay the wolf The sword runs into the heart of Hverdrungs son So he avenges his father So comes Llodyns noble son Thor he goes to fight the snake In anger he slays the guardian of Midgaard Nine steps dying walks Odin's son Away from the snake who misdeeds not fear Dying from it venom When all are gone Only Surtur remained Passing his hand of fire across the whole world Consuming all of creation
A battle on a distant shore Seawolves' wrath sweeps the land Down from the sky Valkyries ride And walk the field, hallowed by Tyr The fight is hard, axes swung Swords bite sharp, men are slain The ground turns red, blood-soaked field Dead man's last bed and Oden sees Vikings fall, in blood they lie The web of Horns They've met their fate With shield and sword They're brought in pride To mighty doors of the Speargod's hall The gates open and into the hall of braves They silently walk The one-eyed sits in glory might Raises his cup and says: "Pl vida faltet Harman svingat Det blankat svardet Oeh banen mott Till den hoges sal De i ara forts Oeh vid mjodet hor Oden kvada" Dawn breaks. The Einherjer goes to Relive their last fight With passion, swords held high As they ride in the morning mist The sun warms the air War cries sound "Tor Hjelpe!" The battle begins Charging horses with fire in breath Rush to battle - in glory die! Swords sing in joy Again they cut With shining edges Blood-stained steel Axes shine, again they're swung Ripping flesh - death be done The cold night comes With charging darkness To Oden's hall The Einherjer return A feast awaits until the next day When warriors' eyes again shall burn
Grey clouds - cover the winter sky Cold snow - falls like autumn leaves to the ground The icy wind Pierces the skin of waiting warriors Like spears Will pierce their bodies in battle Frosted Beards on pale grey faces Eyes of death Are burning with rage Glancing across the fields of Tyr In the early morning light Grey clouds - cover the winter sky Cold snow - falls like autumn leaves to the ground The icy wind Pierces the skin of waiting warriors Like spears Will pierce their bodies in battle War cries break the silent wait Charging warriors rush to kill Swords are swung in the air The gods of war are called Vikings with fire in soul Clash on the open field Slaying with powerful strokes The snow is turning red Hooves gallop the plains Warlords on horsebacks Ride into battle With a thunderous roar The storm wind of death Blows across the field Sweeping with it Everything in its way So the battle settles Alone stands just one man Under the grey-clouded winter sky - alone. . .
As his life's blood leaving I hold my son, my only son And tears fill my burning eyes While his skin turns pale as snow Butchered he lies here bleeding in my arms Slewn by the men of the single god Hatred burns in my chest Rain falls from a raging heaven The wind howls like wolves at the moon I will seek my vengeance for my son I swear I'll avenge my first born one I ride fast through the woods My friends are by my side Dark hatred burns in my eyes "Slaves of hvitekrist today you die!" "Maktiga gudar, i gyllene slaen. Hjalp mig i striden mot sondraparna, Den hoge skall For huggen hamnas och blod skall galdas i blod" Our cloaks fly in the wind As we ride in the cold dark night We're closing in our enemies We rage in our hearts burning bright The clouds scatter in the northern wind A full moon rides the pitch black sky "Now, hounds of Hvitekrist, your time has come to die!" "Kneel before my sword! No mercy! Your time has come to die! This is the ride for vengeance!"
Alone he stands in the doorway His family still asleep Gazing at the starlit horizon And the moonsparkling sea When dawn comes he must leave them His home, his children and loved For his destiny beyond those waves Known only to the Norns He's already dressed ready to leave His four friends are waiting by the shore Each with a dragon ship And one hundred men prepared for war He returns to his bed kissing His sleeping wife goodbye And as he leaves his youngest son A tear rolls from his eye They set sail with the first morning rays Heading for glorious wars And as the five ships steer out from the bay Their hearts pound like never before The wind is strong, the sun is warm Their Dragons fly across the waves No greenfaces are seen here onboard Only a crowd of braves Many nights pass And days long as a year They await the battle They await without fear On the morning of the fifth day Before the sun arose They hear bells chime and see pyres Torched at a nearby coast "LOWER THE SAIL, GRAB YOUR OARS, NOW MEN IT'S TIME TO ACT! ROW LIKE THE WIND TO THE SHORE, ROW LIKE THE WIND TO ATTACK!"
I see Without fear my destiny As the raging skies begins to fade Pouring rain Licks my wounds as my blood flows From my torn flesh! As I die I hold my sword My only friend And pray that Oden Will take me home The battle rages But I hear only raindrops falling Like in slow motion to the ground Death release me Free me from my earthly pain Oden I ask thee please Take me home Without fear I die! As I look To the sky the heaven is lit And Valkyries in shining armour Descend I rest my head On the ground And close my eyes I know that Oden's sent for me As I die Without fear I die I close my eyes And die Without fear
Ten heavy feet Walk the bloodsoiled ground With rhythm these Five warriors march No matter how much The bleeding wounds From enemy swordcuts Hurt to the bone The revenge they sought Was taken in blood No mercy was showed No mercy was showed They ignore the pain That hammerlike pounds From falls, off slain horses, To the ground No signs of weakness No signs of weariness Not even a glimpse Of remorse in their eyes They slew men ruthless Fed the wolves with flesh And now they leave This land side by side Now they're headed home Five swordsmen who fought repentlessly Their story will be told Of five brave men endlessly All sorrow is left For the women to bare The children cries They live in fear No man was spared No house or farm remains No christian woman unraped Their church consumed by flames Their steel shines red With enemy blood It sings of victory Granted by the Gods And as they return Bleeding but proud The horizon burns And the song is ringing loud
Salt water licks my face and wind fills the sail We head for wars on distant shores My friends are all with me And so they'll always be We'll never bend untill the end We cross the open waves On course to far off lands Thor guides our ships With his strong hands Across the waves our seasnakes fly Carried like ravens in the sky By heavens breath on wings of death Blood will run red As we sever bodies from their heads We maim and kill by pure will We hail our Gods Sacrifice in blood Our altar is the battlefields Death is something we don't fear Though it's always near Ygg brings us home when time has come We are five of us Friends of the suncross Strong and brave to the grave!
They came riding down the slopes Five fearless men prepared to fight We heard with fear the rumbling earth In the mid-day light Surprised we saw all terrified The brave northmen's run The fearless five with power ride Attacking us in the mid-day sun Their charge was fast, no alarm was sound They broke right through our lines I felt the cut it threw me to the ground And now I feel has come my time I lie here in my blood And see my family get killed I feel abandoned by my god I fear death's chill I see Hel's gates Towering high And dark are they I don't want to die Oh no! I was wrong Denied the true gods And now I'm doomed I trusted foreign men And their god's son But now when I need them They are gone I see Hel's gates Towering high And dark are they I die! They ride across the planes And punish those of false belief All resistance is in vain As they caress them with cold steel They are the punishers And they will never bend They are power the five of them From Asgard they are sent The power they have in all they do The Christians non will feel No one can escape them no They will make them kneel Their fight is through, they must return No one here survived And as the blood red sky begins to burn To Valhall they will ride
A storm rolls in from the sea Covering the land with black thunder clouds Rain whips the ground at their feet As they come ashore in this foreign land Thunder brakes the silence Of fivehundred men assembled ashore Gazing through the misty rain At the mountain not a mile away So dark and silent it stands there The mighty AMON AMARTH Reaching for the cloudcloked skies So grim and fearful in might With the wind in their backs they start walking Decisive men of the north They strive through this darkened land With only mount doom in their sight The closer they get to the mountain The clearer their eyes can see A forest of one thousand spears awaiting Awaiting the battle that will be A cry of war emerges Echoes over the field Warriors run, like wolves up the sloaps Boldley charging the enemy lines With weapons so fearsome and sharp in their hands And shields of oakwood and steel They slit open stomachs and split skulls to the jaw Intestants cover the field The defenders are weak in this brutal war The northmen have power and guts A bloodshed like no one has seen here before None can escape their cuts Arrows with fire fly through the air Touching houses and shields The Vikings can feel victory is near As the enemy headlessly flees A gust of wind blows in from the north Clearing the clouds away As twilight falls and the stars come forth And the seawolves return to the bay Corpses lie scattered all over the field For the ravens to eat as they please The mountain is now left there behind As they sail with the first morning breeze
Rumbling thunder cracks the sky And rain starts pouring down Lightning strikes a cold bright light Upon the blooddrenched ground The sword play is hard And many fall Steel bites sharp in flesh And upon a mountain Towering tall Stand the messengers of death Five horsemen in armour bright Waiting in the flashing light Looking down upon the field Where Vikings fight with axe and shield On stallions black as night With eyes burning red They ride with thunder to the fight Deliverance of certain death A warcry loud as Heimdall's horne Echoes across the land Enemies who hear it freeze to the bone Friends of doom proudly stand They ride faster than the wind With lightning speed they strike Black ravens follow where they've been To feed from those who died With power they wield their swords As they ride down fleeing men Sending them to Hel's dark court To never come back again The warriors ride once more To the mountain from which they came Once sent by the gods to war And they never return in shame
Making way through blades and spears We attack at dawn The glory scene is near From northern gods we're spawned Defender's fighting spirit crack Torching house of single god We leave land burnt black And bodies floating in blood War to us is holy We sacrifice our blood War to us is holy We bleed for ancient Gods Blasting forth with rage in our war eyes We burn with hate Cut our way through hordes of weak Christian flesh Cast them into death WAR! War to us is holy We sacrifice our blood War to us is holy We bleed for ancient Gods Burn away the false and untrue ones We make them kneel To the only true and powerful Gods And then we kill WAR!
We storm ahead with swords and shields For victory we ride We fight the world on these battlefields To re-erect the pagan pride We draw the blood of those in our way It's 'victory or die With pounding, raging fury we slay The Christian hounds will pay Charge ahead, no retreat No mercy, none shall live To us there is no defeat No remorse to give A wind of power blows from the north The enemy shivers to the core We slay with strength, pushing forth Silence before the storm The gates of Valhalla open up The ground beneath us shakes As Odin leads the Gods to war The Rainbow Bridge cracks Nothing can stop this final attack We carve up all in our path Now there is no turning back Final battle is here at last A feast awaits us when we return Awaiting all that fought in wrath By the long fires we sit in glory And beer will cool our soar throats We are few but strong in will The last with pagan blood We fought the world with burning steel Now we sit in Hall of Gods Pride and glory in our hearts Pride and glory in our hearts
Above my heads mighty men battle Flashing blades rip through the air Cracking shields with rumbling thunder Rolling over the waves Blood pours like rain onto the sea As it wind-whipped foams Warlords in shining helmets Send men screaming to their death Clouds of black cover the sea Day turns into night Infinite darkness beckons me No more sun, no more light Ships tied stern to stern A battle on the north sea waves Hearts of braves brightly burn Berserks swing their metal-blades Battle hammers hit with force Crushing helmet covers heads Dying men tumble over board Foaming waves colored red Memories invade my mind As my harness brings me down My body's getting cold and numb As the ocean pulls me down Above my head my brave friends battle Their flashing blades rip through the air Sending men screaming to join me As I die in these cold north sea waves
My pale face face glows in the light of fire My hollow eyes see but cannot see I stare deep into the glowing inferno The loss I feel is breaking me I heard their screams Through flaming walls Walls, I could not tear down I could not help them I'd been away for two full years Only to return too late to save them Helplessly I watched my life go up in flames I pull the sword from the glowing fire And hammer-beat in on the anvil Forging it with rage and hate I will seal my enemy's fate I engrave the blade with magic runes And summon Gods by sacrifice in blood Pure blue hate shines within this sword This magic sword will cut only once No sword has ever been like this one The Avenger is its name Now my sworn enemy Vengeance will belong to me A year has gone by Now my sworn enemy It's your turn to die It's your turn to die! Die! To die! Die, die! Die, die! Die, die, die, die, die! The sword cuts through his throat His head tumbles to the ground The headless body lays gently down Down to sleep in a pool of blood The Avenger has lost its shine The magic is now drained Dull and useless it rests in my hand Its purpose is soon fulfilled Now hate is gone but emptiness remains So I turn the blade around And run it through my stomach veins And I fall to the ground
Serpent tongue speaks to me Of a man from southern land How ancient Gods are enemies But I don't understand Hippocritic voice of love talks of peace and Christ Blasphemer of Gods above One thousand years of lies They hold their swords to out throats And force-feed us with faith 'Bout god, his son and holy whore But now we retaliate Prophets of a false believe talk with tongue of ice Threaten us with hell beneath Now they all shall die Turn the blade around, put the oppressors down Free yourselves from the chains Of lies that hold you down Arise to be free again We'll fight till we have won Priests of hippocratic love talk of peace and Christ Power is their only goal Now they all shall die Turn the blade around, put the oppressors down Mess with us and you will feel A pain so true yet so unreal Yeah, use your hate, uncreate Christian state will meet its fate God, his son and holy whore Now you will meet your fate
Wrath, hate, pain and death The code we live by It's in our souls Metal is the way We fight the world With glowing metal Now the falses will pay Our fight has just begun We're sent from hall of gold Messengers of death We're coming after you You can't escape us We'll take away your breath See us ride for vengeance Friends of the sun cross We are born of steel See us ride down The Amon Amarth The last sight you'll ever see So as you stand there Under gray-clouded skies Abandoned by your god You know you're gonna die You feel a sorrow Surrounding you As of the nine worlds Screaming pain you feel Your soul vaporizes As your hearts burst We charge without fear Your time has come Your Fimbul winter's arrived A chilling wind of ice Whirls through your heart Pierces your bones and spine We are all Gazing to the skies We'll make the false hammer fall And we'll make Thor arise Our quest is done Your creation burns Now we return to Odin's hall Our dragon's fly Across the waves As twilight begins to fall In victory we ride We enter the mighty doors Of the spear-god's hall As Ygg salutes us We raise our beers And drink in honor of our cause We are all Greeted by the Gods We made the false hammer fall And Thor arose in blood
Run for your lives, death has arrived Try save your soul, run from the sound of rowing oars Out of the mist Breaks a dragon ship Even more feared Than the nail-ship "Naglfar" A bear-coated man stands in the bow Cold-eyed he gazes towards the shoer The dragon's head is grim and red All covered with blood, a gift to the mighty Gods Warshields are raised, the Gods are praised The people stare paralyzed with fear The legend tells of a man that fell From grace of his baptised king As a banished man he fled his land But solemnly sworn to return with holy war But no one knows how the legend goes 'Cause no ones survived That's gazed into his eyes 'Cause no one's returned that's met his fire They say wolf-skinned men follow him Berserks whose eyes burn with flames of ice Some say mighty Thor Guides their blades in war They say they cannot be killed Nor can their blood be spilled So run for your lives Death has arrived The legend has come To take the lives of the deceitful ones Run for your lives The death ship's arrived There's no way you'll live To tell of meeting his fire
Run for your lives, death has arrived Try save your soul, run from the sound of rowing oars Out of the mist Breaks a dragon ship Even more feared Than the nail-ship "Naglfar" A bear-coated man stands in the bow Cold-eyed he gazes towards the shoer The dragon's head is grim and red All covered with blood, a gift to the mighty Gods Warshields are raised, the Gods are praised The people stare paralyzed with fear The legend tells of a man that fell From grace of his baptised king As a banished man he fled his land But solemnly sworn to return with holy war But no one knows how the legend goes 'Cause no ones survived That's gazed into his eyes 'Cause no one's returned that's met his fire They say wolf-skinned men follow him Berserks whose eyes burn with flames of ice Some say mighty Thor Guides their blades in war They say they cannot be killed Nor can their blood be spilled So run for your lives Death has arrived The legend has come To take the lives of the deceitful ones Run for your lives The death ship's arrived There's no way you'll live To tell of meeting his fire
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!
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
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
Risen from the sea The beast of hell is here He's come to rule the earth Kneel and obey his power A second beast rises Rises from the earth Followed by an army An army of immortals An army of the dead Second beast breaks from the earth Kneel and obey his power Fire in the rocks Fire from the sky Kneel and obey Kneel or die!! Kneel or die!! There is wisdom with him Who hath understanding reckon The number of the beast for it is A number of a man its number Is six hundred sixty six, 666 He's risen from the sea The beasts of hell are here Come to rule the world And you will be in fire So it is written, So it has been The beast is here, to rule the world So it is written, So it has been The beast is here, to rule the world So it is written, So it has been The beast is here, to rule the world So it is written, So it has been The beast is here, to rule the world
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
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 Then fury in him was divine Now he is dead, his fate has been sealed He's brought to Golden Hall up high
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 speaks 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!
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
He's riding down 'cross a field familiar 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 no one'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
Every night I see through eyes Of a different lunatic And every night I fantasize In trancial mesmeric All alone inside my head Within my padded cell Ruled by thoughts of another mind Controlled by unseen eyes In my mind I see the sun Plunge into the sea I listen to my Tales now I'll tell you what I see And so the corpses And the thrill My mind is warped Nothing's real Do I dream Or is it true The piercing scream She never knew Every night I see through eyes Of a different lunatic And every night I fantasize The eyes of horror
The wait is soon at end Always charge never bend Morning is here, make your stand Live for honor, glory, death in fire! Total war is here Face it without fear Age of sword, age of spear Fight for honor, glory, death in fire! See the fire rise Flames are raging high Soon all will burn and die Burn for honor, glory, death in fire! Storm of lethal flames Only death remains Ragnarok is closing in Die for honor, glory, death in fire! Forces of chaos is on the move Everyone, choose your side And know the end is coming soon The day for all to die The day is here when Bifrost breaks Nor sun or moon will rise When the dead rise from their graves And Surtur spreads his fire All you know will wither away And sink into the sea A new world will be born one day Where everyone is free Total war is here, face it without fear Age of sword, age of spear Fight for honor, glory, death in fire! Storm of lethal flames Only death remains - Ragnarok is our fate Die for honor, die for glory Die, death in fire!
Silently we bide our time Soon we'll pay you back For all the wrongs you've done our kind For the stabwounds in our backs You think you're safe. Well, live your lie There's no way you'll escape The day that all things living die The day we rise again Then Fenris' father will summon us And we will rise from the death One million warriors with foaming mouths To challenge life itself A horrid ship of dead men's nails Will bring our ranks ashore The eastern wind will fill our sails And your son will hold the oar You think you're safe. Well, live your lie There's no way you'll escape The day that all things living die The day we rise again Our rusty swords will never rest So send the best you've got Into our grinning jaws of death We'll make their suffering short So sit there on your golden throne Soon we will arise Time for vengeance is coming soon The time for all to die!
The last head falls to the ground No one is left alive They thought that they could take me down But it's not my time to die I wipe the blood from my sword And slide it in my belt This is the sweetest of rewards The best rush I have felt Ten men are dead by my feet I smell their streaming blood And I smile, cause it makes me... ...makes me feel so good They were crawling on their knees Begging for their pathetic lives Now their souls belong to me As well as their eyes Each man has something that I crave I eat their steaming eyes And drink their blood to make them my slaves At Oden's feat in afterlife I bring the skulls to my shrine Where silent Gods stand guard Soak them in blood and in wine - A sacrificial ritual One thousand heads are on display Collected through years of thirst Macabre trophies from my prey Picked clean of flesh by Oden's birds I am - I am - A wolf in human shape I am - I am - A predator with flaming rage [Lead Mikkonen] I'm a wolf in human shape - Every man is prey A predator with flaming rage - Blood is in my trace I will die with sword in hand And then my seat's secured When Oden calls from golden hall He will greet me at the door
One we were scum of the Earth Now we've cleared our names In Nifelheim came rebirth Baptized in Mount Doom's flames A decade now we've fought this war Never yielding from our path Our journeys take us to foreign shores Where we let our metal blast We've been battered and left for dead We've been beaten and we have bled But we always made it through - Vs the world This may be our last quest Before we're put to rest The end is coming soon - Vs the world Warriors of the grave took us south Hell bent on genocide They made us face the brutal truth This would be no easy ride Grotesque creatures of the sky Met with us on winter fields Christian god cast aside - Massacre of hallowed eve We've been battered and left for dead We've been beaten and we have bled But we always made it through - Vs the world This may be our last quest Before we're put to rest The end is coming soon - Vs the world Persian demons brought us south On merciless campaign We've raided the western shores Always going against the grain All these years we've fought to win And sometimes almost died I tell you now we won't give in Without a vicious fight We've been battered and left for dead We've been beaten and we have bled Versus the world
My days are numbered: soon I have to leave The Norns have stretched my living thread The notion of my demise won't leave me be Why cannot death just set me free! I've lived a life or prosperity But I'm not as young as I used to be Down the road waits misery Why cannot death just set me free! Countless armies have I attacked Not once have I backed down And though I've spilled a lot of blood I never once received a mortal wound I've raided shores in many lands I cannot count the men I've killed So many friends died with sword in hand But the warrior's death was never granted me I dress myself in battle clothes Alone I make the final ride My sight is blurred, by whipping snow I seek to end my life I want to walk across the Rainbow Bridge And see my fathers in the golden hall They beckon me to join their feast In my dreams I hear their call
Down the slopes of death he rides The eight hooves pound like drums Darkness reigns the crumbling sky Invasion has begun Fields of flames greets his eye He smells the fear and pain Of dying men in agony It can drive a man insane All enemies flee his spear No bow nor axe do harm Allfather rides out on fields of fear When Heimdal sounds the alarm But on the field waits his fate Foretold in ancient times A beast with sharp yellow teeth And hateful burning yes Today he'll draw his final breath The wisest God of all His son will avenge his death Iormundr's brother will fall He knows now what is to come No use to try and run What is to be, let it be done! What is to be, let it be done! Today he'll draw his final breath The wisest God of all His son will avenge his death Iormundr's brother will fall Down the slopes of death he rides The eight hooves pound like drums Darkness reigns the crumbling sky Invasion has begun Down the slopes of death he rides The eight hooves pound like drums Darkness reigns the crumbling sky No more is the sun
He hung on the windswept world tree Whose roots no one knows For nine whole days he hung there pierced By Gugnir, his spear Swimming in pain he peered into the depths And cried out in agony Reaching out he grasped the runes Before falling back from the abyss He gave himself unto himself In a world of sheering pain So that we all may live our lives By the wisdom that he gained You doubted him, and spread their lies Across the world, with sword in hand You raped our souls, and stole our right All for the words of mild-mannered man You listened to mild-mannered god And put your faith in deceitful words Your powertrip was paid by blood In kindness' name you spilled our blood I refuse to submit To the god you say is kind I know what's right, and it is time It's time to fight, and free our minds Let me die without fear! As I have lived without it So shut your mouth and spare my ears I'm fed up with all your bullshit After a thousand years of oppression Let the berserks rise again Let the world hear these words once more: "Save us, oh lord, from the wrath of the Norseman" Our spritis were forged in snow and ice To bend like steel forged over fire We were not made to bend like reed Or turn the other cheek He grasped the runes, they're ours to use

"Där tog en nordlig vind skeppet, så att kungen ombord fördes med till strid mot två kungar De djärva kungarna Hälsade med pilskott Ordlöst i striden. Sköldarnas buller räckte." Blood red bows plough the waves Dragon heads grin Twenty ships with Norsemen braves Riding the northern wind They left their shores at early dawn As a red sun was rising in the east An ancient sign of coming storm Thunder of sword and shield Sails appear in the south Now every man prepare The sea will be colored by blood Battle is drawing near A mighty fleet of forty ships Two kings bring lethal steel No words spoken between enemies Just thunder of sword and shield A rain of arrows darkens the sun A cloud of wood and steel Through shields and flesh the arrows run Bringing warriors to their knees A war-cry loud as heimdal's horn Fills the vibrating air This is the place where heroes are born And where death is always near Here it comes the mighty storm Every man attacks Now is when heroes are born There is no turning back
"Through a dark and desolate valley he walks Pale, flickering fires light the way Along an ice cold river lies his path The sky is of darkest grey A cold wind pierce through his bones And the sharp rocks cut his feet His clothes and skin are ripped by thorns His eyes appear to bleed" The land is dead and dry The water is poisonous Unknown creatures howling to the sky Blood chilling and ravenous The air is thick and dense A smell of rotting flesh Every breath is like one thousand knives Cutting through his chest Black birds of prey circle the sky He hears the shadows moan He sees pale faces pass him by But he walks this path alone Darkness fills his heart with chilling fear A nameless fear he cannot quell How did he ever end up here? This place where death seems to dwell He repeats the question in his weary mind The riddle gives him no rest Yet he knows the answer deep inside He's been touched by the chill of death Enchanting voices urge him on Through he wants to turn around They sing to him with soothing words A chilling, frighting sound A cold blue light shimmer ahead Where a mountain reaches for the sky Nidafiell, mountain of the dead Terrifying it's might He approach the gates his heart is cold He understands all to well She awaits him The truth unfolds He's been sent to Nifelhel
I feel a chill in my heart Like lingering winter cold I and my son are torn apart He was just 6 winters old My first-born was he And the last of my kin The last one to carry my name Death smiled at him its deadly grin There is no one for me to blame The fate of Norns await us all There is no way to escape The day to answer Oden's call Or walk through hel's gate I carry him to my ship He seems to be asleep But the deep blue colour of his lips Is enough to make me weep No man should have to bury his child Yet this has been my share The tears i shed run bitter and wild It's a heavy burden to bear His body feels so light in my arms His skin is pale as snow Yet his weight feels heavy in my heart As my sadness continues to grow Allfather! What fate has been given me? Why must I suffer? Why must I feel this pain? Allfather! LIfe has lost it's meaning to me I think I'm going insane! I lay him down on a pyre A burial worthy a king And as I lie down by his side I hear the weaving norns sing The fate of Norns await us all There is no way to escape The day to answer Oden's call Or walk through hel's gate The fate of Norns await us all I know this to be true It's time to answer Odens's call My son, he calls for me and you
The warming sun returns again And melts away the snow The sea is freed from icy chains Winter is letting go Standing on the ocean side We can hear the waves Calling us out with tide To sail into our fate Oden! Guide our ships Our axes, spears and swords Guide us through storms that whip And in brutal war Our ships await us by the shore Time has come to leave Our country, family and homes For riches in the east Some of us won't return But that won't bring us down Our fate is written in the web Woven by the Norns A ram is sacrificed Across the longship's bow And as we set our sails A strong breeze starts to blow It carries us out to sea With hope of fame and pride And glorious all will be That with sword in hand will die Oden! Guide our ships Our Axes, spears and swords Guide us through storms that whip And in brutal war Oden! Guide our ships Our axes, spears and swords Guide us through storms that whip And in brutal war
Soon a new day will be spawned Scattered fires glow Soon first blood will be drawn And dying ambers glow They await the suns first rays Anticipation running high The Norns are counting numbered days Hear the war-cry rise See the Valkyries ride! See the Valkyries ride! They meet upon this hallowed field Now the end is near Two armies not about to yield The smell of death in the air This field has served as battle ground Since the dawn of this world Through the years a lot of blood Has been poured into this earth Warrior's eyes full of purest rage Steel cutting flesh Spilling guts and severing heads Sending men to their death Ride, ride, ride Valkyries Ride, ride, ride Valkyries The screams of dying men The comfort in their eyes Here they come, by Oden sent See the Valkyries ride Fallen men lie all around Their dead eyes look to the sky And as the swordplay rambles on They see the Valkyries ride
A mighty fleet came across the strait But Erik was prepared Five hundred Germans had come to his aid On horseback with their spears The fleet was carrying two thousand men Eager to draw blood But as they were about to land Erik released his heards One thousand men and five hundred horsemen Came charging down the beach When the sea-king saw this force He gave order to retreat All obeyed except one ship It held the king's own son He despised the thought of flight And attacked on his own The Danish fleet had to turn around They charged King Erik's men But it was too late to save his son His life was already spent The fighting continued bloody and fierce And the bloodshed was immense Two thousand warriors died that day Most of them were Danes The Danish king was captured Most of his guards were dead For a ransom he was released Then his people took his head
They came riding at first light Fifty men armed to the teeth The sounding horn called us out to fight We went to meet them with our steel Outnumbered yet we fought But soon we were overrun We took refuge in our home Our downfall had just begun They attacked our home, we kept them out Defending ourselves with spear and bow We took them out one by one As the rising autumn sun glowed There was twenty dead on each side When we first smelled something burn We heard them laughing from outside Taunting us with spiteful words They set the house on fire In order to smoke us out Only five of us were still alive And our time was running out Raging flames surrounded us all Our home was under siege Crumbling roof and burning walls There was no way to break free As we were all about to die We swore a sacred oath Revenge would be claimed if someone survived And we sealed the oath in blood The roof caved in and cleared a path A way out of the flames It was decided that I'd go first As we made for our escaped Suddenly the walls came down And trapped the rest inside My closest friends died that day Only I made it out alive
It's five years since I left this land Since I left my friends to burn Five years making bitter plans Preparing my return All this time my hatred's grown The one thing on my mind The hate in me is all I've known The one thing keeping me alive Bold words spreads across the land Bragging tongues speak carelessly Know they not what is to come I'll hunt them down restlessly The oath I swore, once sealed in blood A seal between loyal friends I swore before ancient Gods I will have revenge I swore! Before my Gods! An oath! Once sealed in blood I swore! Before my Gods! An oath! Once sealed in blood Now here I stand in pouring rain As he comes riding down the path He will learn the meaning of pain As subject to my endless wrath He will be the first to pay For the bragging words he spoke He'll regret that fateful day My friends perished in smoke I swore! Before my Gods! An oath! Once sealed in blood I swore! Before my Gods! An oath! Once sealed in blood I swore! Before my Gods! An oath! Once sealed in blood I swore! Before my Gods! Once sealed in blood I swore! Before my Gods! An oath! Before my Gods! Once sealed in blood I swore! Before my Gods! So here I stand on the road With cold steel in my hand As he looks into my unforgiving soul His tears begins to run One man down 29 to go Consider yourselves warned I'm coming for the rest of you And will have no remorse
Blood gushes from the wound The cut is wide and deep And 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 swords 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. Valhall awaits me, Soon I will die. Bear skin on my back, Wolf jaw on my head. Valhall awaits me when I'm dead. I raise my axe above my head, My eyes stare in 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 I turn around, I fall to my knees. Sword in my hand, Axe on my side. Valhall awaits me, Soon I will die. Bear skin on my back, Wolf jaw on my head. Valhall awaits me when I'm dead.
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 'til the 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 Now here I lay 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 Like blood runs from my wound. Here I lie on wet sand, I will not make it home. I clinch 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

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!
Darkness flees the rising sun The village lies ahead It will wake to a new day soon Soon they all be dead We came in cover of moonless night Fifty man at arms Now at first morning light, The church bell sound the alarm Sacrifice to Gods of old Bleed them of their lives Fresh blood on our swords Gods Of War Arise! Sacrifice to Gods of old Bleed them of their lives Fresh blood on our swords Gods Of War Arise! Hear the tortured screams Shattering the air They awake the 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 survive 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 die 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 die The Gods have granted victory For our sacrifice

Charge your horses across the fields Together we ride into destiny Have no fear of death, when it's your time Oden will bring us home when we die!

The icy winter is creeping near Dark skies above us Biting frost 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've 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 Have brought us rich reward 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 take their place In Oden’s hall up high The icy winter is creeping near Dark skies above us Biting frost 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 Where we can set our sails
Ships were prepared Weapons and shields Sails were raised We headed out to sea! Norway disappeared in the east Our journey had begun Helpful winds gave us our speed Under a warming sun Heading to the emerald land A fleet of 50 ships An army of two thousand men lead 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 Woke from dreams Sword in my hand The break of dawn We were 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 They struggle with heart The Irish fell to our wrath Fought for his life Their king escaped With fury divine King Olaf threw his sword

War, the very first war of our world, When the treacherous witch was killed Three times burned and three times born, By searing flames was Gullveig torn. Death, Odin hurled his spear off with great force Deep into the great vana-fyrd battle horns gave up their sound And Asgard walls razed to the ground. The Vanir felt deceived Höne was a fool without Mímir at his side Höne could not rule In a fit of violent rage Mímir's blood was shed and to Odin's court they sent Mímir's severed head Truce, so a brittle and frail peace was forged And to ensure that the peace remained. Njordr and Freyr to Asgard came and Hön' and Mim to Vanaheim Death, see the furious gods wanting blood, Odin knew that a raging war would not bring them any gain Just leave a black and bitter stain. Odin tog huvudet och smorde det med örter som hindrar det från att ruttna han kvad sedan trollsånger över det så att Mimer åter kunde tala till honom

I rise up from muspelheim My fury is sublime The sword I bring burns violently With wild and lethal flames I march against the asagods To bring the end of time I am pure and endless pain And Surtur is my name See me rise, the mighty Surt Destroyer of the universe Bringer of flames and endless hurt Scorcher of men and earth Swordless frej with horn in hand Rises to his final stand He doesn't stand a single chance I'll split his living corpse in half And yet he stabbed me in the eye He drove the horn in deep The overwhelming, raging pain Is driving me insane The waves of flames that I've unleashed will eat us all alive The rage that burns within my heart Is uncontrolled and wild And now everything shall die! Massive waves consume us all, the ocean is released Our dying world quakes underneath And sinks into the sea And now nothing will survive! Extinction waits for everyone For gods and men alike When all are gone of the old world A new one will arise See me rise, the mighty Surt Destroyer of the universe Bringer of flames and endless hurt Scorcher of men and earth See me die, the mighty Surt Destroyer of the universe Drowning in waves that floods the earth The beginning, of a new rebirth
They speak of love and tolerance They thrive on people's ignorance To make you all Slaves of fear They feed on your anxiety To build their dead society They've kept you down for a thousand years They nurture prejudice and hate Condemn the wars that they create In the name of whatever god They gladly sacrifice your lives Increasing power is their prize Without regrets they'll spill your blood They're feeding you lies With calculating smiles Enslavement of the human mind As long as you kneel to their authority Religion is what makes you blind They're treating you as mindless fools And use you as obedient tools It's time to set your spirit free This world we cannot tolerate It's time to seal all preachers' fate And let them swing from Oden's tree They're feeding you lies With calculating smiles Enslavement of the human mind As long as you kneel to their authority Religion is what makes you blind Your minds are restrained Obedience is the chain They've locked you up and thrown away the key Your souls are for sale, And you're the ones who pay But still, you'll never be set free
From birth we're taught how to survive We're taught how war is waged And there are no men now alive Who stops our wild rampage Light at heart we bide our bane whatever death awaits! Norsemen live without regrets We accept our woven fates So fearlessly we charge ahead There is no time to hesitate Don't despair, show no fear Live your life without regrets Don't despair and show no fear In the face of a certain death A coward thinks he'll always live If it keeps himself from strife Old age leaves no rest and peace though spears may spare his life We don't mourn a friend that fell or dread the day we'll fall ourselves Warriors don't go to Hel 'cause we know Ygg will greet us well! Fearlessly we charge ahead There is no time to hesitate Don't despair, show no fear Live your life without regrets Don't despair and show no fear In the face of a certain death So raise your horns to those who died Let's drink to fallen friends tonight Let's celebrate their glory life We'll meet again in Valhall when we die When we die! When we die!
See him rise, from land of flames our destruction is at hand. It is time to make stand now I face, and awesome foe I will always stand my ground To this end my fate is bound! This fight is mine and mine alone and there's no help from anyone! His wrath burns! With insane heat all his fury is unleashed there is no way to defeat! The forces and the power that he wields My hand holds the horn so firm I am calm and ready to die Everything around me burns And I know that I will not survive See him rise from land of flames in this wild and barren land I will make my final stand My death awaits, I have no fear To this end my fate is bound though I'm doomed I'll stand my ground! This fight is mine and mine alone and there's no help from anyone! I go forth to meet my doom but I will die in vain perdition waits for everyone The world will die in flames With all my strength I run the horn deep into his eye And as he swings his burning sword I die with a tired smile!
Time! has come to wash our shame away to erase the image of defeat We! have licked our wounds,restored our strength and our vengeance will be oh so sweet They thought they had us down that we'd never rise again they will learn that they were deadly wrong what's owed will be repaid Again we'll feed the wolves and then vengeance will be ours we'll split their skulls and spill their guts upon the frozen ground Yeah,we'll never kneel again not to deity nor men now they'll taste our bitter hate what's owed will be repaid So raise the flag once more and the eagle will be fed once again we march to war for victory or death They arrived with talk of hvitekrist by force they wanted us to kneel with their swords held to our throats they preached but we will make them pay we'll take their lives away So Raise! raise the flag once more in the east the eagle will be fed March! again we march to war we will march for victory or death Pain! the pain and suffering is but a bleak and distant fading dream Shame! our disgrace; a withering thought finally our names will be redeemed
My head hurts like hell Can't open my eyes My clothes are all wet And I'm freezing right through Don't know where I am Or how to get home My arms they're so numb And it's hard to get up My muscles they ache With every move I stand on my feet But my knees feel so weak [Chorus:] Somebody wake me From this horrible dream Somebody save me From this terror I feel I stumble around on the soft muddy ground I call out the name of the friends I can't find but only the wind And the ravens reply With every gasp with every breath smoke fills my lungs and my intestines wrench With every gasp the sweet taste of death The air is full of a thick pungent stench So comes then rain it's colder than ice I wash off my face and open my eyes And then I see but wish I were blind They are all dead there's blood everywhere The Norsemen they left only death and despair A stench of flesh that fills the Autumn air Somebody wake me From this horrible dream Somebody save me From this terror and pain No one can save me From this horrible dream No one can hear me Or my heart-wrenching screams
Conceived was I From chaos and hate Of malice, deceit and blood And how would they know My fate is to rise Against the Asagods My being is full, full of a rage An evil that can't be tamed It darkens my soul And blackens the blood A fire that fills my veins So how Did I ever end up here? Humiliated, broken and weak I've waited For a thousand years To break these chains apart and To finally break myself free I bit the hand, off the mighty Tyr When I couldn't, tare my ties Now banished I dwell A sword in my jaw awaiting the end of time In darkness I drown Consumed by my hate Longing for revenge Allfather will pay For his deceit At the battle Of Ragnarök A beast am I So vicious and grim They fear my mean Grinning teeth I bide my time my sweet revenge Soon my ties will fall And finally I will be free So when you hear me howling You'll know that I have come for you When you hear me call your name Your life will end in nameless pain [Solo: Simon Solomon] Conceived was I From chaos and hate Of malice, deceit and blood And how would they know My fate is to rise Against the Asagods My being is full, full of a rage An evil that can't be tamed It darkens my soul And blackens the blood A fire that fills my veins A beast am I So vicious and grim They fear my mean Grinning teeth I bide my time my sweet revenge Soon my ties will fall And finally I will be! Finally break myself! Finally I will be free!
The autumn clouds are caving in And night comes crawling, black as sin Lightning strikes, and rain begins A storm that tears my soul I toss and tumble in my bed My thoughts are spinning in my head Darkness nears, soon I'll be dead I'm losing all control I've spent my life in foolish quests for gold and riches, I confess And now I'm left with just regrets Too late to change my ways My life, it seems, has slipped away I leave no legacy to praise Nothing more for me to say My life has been a waste When! My time has come for me to leave When! When judgment's passed upon my life When! A cold dark grave will wait for me Will! Will my name live endlessly? When! My time has come for me to leave When! When judgment's passed upon my life When! A cold dark grave will wait for me Will! Will my name live endlessly? So I die But won't be mourned Broken and alone I wish that I were never born So I die and won't be missed No rune stone will be raised As my body rots away Die! All friends and cattle pass away Die! And death will come for every man Die! But I know one thing never dies Doom! The sentence passed upon the dead Now! The time has come for me to leave Now! When judgement's passed up on my life Now! Now I will rest in my dark grave Will! They speak my name with reverence? My life has been a waste No rune stone will be raised So I die, but won't be mourned I wish that I were never born I rest here in my shallow grave As my body rots away
