1. War Of The Gods

War, the very first war of our world,When the treacherous witch was killedThree times burned and three times born,By searing flames was Gullveig torn.

Death, Odin hurled his spear off with great forceDeep into the great vana-fyrdbattle horns gave up their soundAnd Asgard walls razed to the ground.

The Vanir felt deceivedHne was a foolwithout Mmir at his sideHne could not ruleIn a fit of violent rageMmir's blood was shed

and to Odin's court they sent Mmir's severed head

Truce, so a brittle and frail peace was forgedAnd to ensure that the peace remained.Njordr and Freyr to Asgard cameand Hn' and Mim to Vanaheim

Death, see the furious gods wanting blood,Odin knew that a raging warwould not bring them any gainJust leave a black and bitter stain.

Odin tog huvudet ochsmorde det med rtersom hindrar detfrn att ruttnahan kvad sedantrollsnger ver dets att Mimer terkunde tala till honom

[English translation:]Odin took the head, and anointed it with herbswhich prevents it from rottinghe sang his magic songs over it

so that Mimer be able to speak to him

The Vanir felt deceivedHne was a foolwithout Mmir at his sideHne could not ruleIn a fit of violent rageMmir's blood was shedand to Odin's court they sent Mmir's severed head

You come to me, eyes full of grief


2/11

You come to me,eyes full of griefall of your tears mean nothing to meso why will you not just leave me to beam I to blame? Well, I'm not ashamed!Oh how I smiled when I heard the taleOf Loke the sly, so clever and brave

Hder the fool,Lopt's willing toolhe held the twig that cut Balder's skinLopt aimed the shotthat killed Hder's twinleave me alone

don't come here and moanI've never wished to see Balder's wellso let his soul remain down in hel

You come to me and cannot believethat this old crow now talking to youis Loke not Tck you bloody dawn foolsyou come to me and you do not see

all of your tears mean nothing to mewhy will you not just leave me to be

[solo: Mikkonen]

My name is Tck,and I won't cryI won't let Balder returnLet hel keep her treasured prizelet his soul forever burn

3. Destroyer Of The Universe

I rise up from muspelheimMy fury is sublimeThe sword I bring burns violentlyWith wild and lethal flames

I march against the asagodsTo bring the end of timeI am pure and endless painAnd Surtur is my name

See me rise, the mighty SurtDestroyer of the universeBringer of flames and endless hurt


3/11

Scorcher of men and earth

[Solo: Sdenberg]

Swordless frej with horn in handRises to his final stand

He doesn't stand a single chanceI'll split his living corpse in half

And yet he stabbed me in the eyeHe drove the horn in deepThe overwhelming, raging painIs driving me insane

The waves of flames thatI've unleashed will eat us all aliveThe rage that burns within my heartIs uncontrolled and wild

And now everything shall die!Massive waves consume us all, the ocean is releasedOur dying world quakes underneathAnd sinks into the seaAnd now nothing will survive!Extinction waits for everyoneFor gods and men alikeWhen all are gone of the old worldA new one will arise

[Solo: Sdenberg]

See me rise, the mighty Surt

Destroyer of the universeBringer of flames and endless hurtScorcher of men and earth

See me die, the mighty SurtDestroyer of the universeDrowning in waves that floods the earthThe beginning, of a new rebirth

4. Slaves Of Fear

They speak of love and toleranceThey thrive on people's ignoranceTo make you all Slaves of fear

They feed on your anxietyTo build their dead societyThey've kept you down for a thousand years

They nurture prejudice and hateCondemn the wars that they createIn the name of whatever god

They gladly sacrifice your livesIncreasing power is their prize


4/11

Without regrets they'll spill your blood

They're feeding you liesWith calculating smilesEnslavement of the human mindAs long as you kneel to their authority

Religion is what makes you blind

They're treating you as mindless foolsAnd use you as obedient toolsIt's time to set your spirit free

This world we cannot tolerateIt's time to seal all preachers' fateAnd let them swing from Oden's tree

They're feeding you liesWith calculating smiles

Enslavement of the human mindAs long as you kneel to their authorityReligion is what makes you blind

Your minds are restrainedObedience is the chainThey've locked you up and thrown away the keyYour souls are for sale,And you're the ones who payBut still, you'll never be set free

5. Live Without Regrets

From birth we're taught how to surviveWe're taught how war is wagedAnd there are no men now aliveWho stops our wild rampage

Light at heart we bide our banewhatever death awaits!Norsemen live without regretsWe accept our woven fates

So fearlessly we charge aheadThere is no time to hesitate

Don't despair, show no fearLive your life without regretsDon't despair and show no fearIn the face of a certain death

A coward thinks he'll always liveIf it keeps himself from strifeOld age leaves no rest and peacethough spears may spare his life

We don't mourn a friend that fellor dread the day we'll fall ourselves


5/11

Warriors don't go to Hel'cause we know Ygg will greet us well!

Fearlessly we charge aheadThere is no time to hesitate

Don't despair, show no fearLive your life without regretsDon't despair and show no fearIn the face of a certain death

So raise your horns to those who diedLet's drink to fallen friends tonightLet's celebrate their glory lifeWe'll meet again in Valhall when we dieWhen we die!When we die!

6. The Last Stand Of Frej

See him rise, from land of flamesour destruction is at hand.It is time to make standnow I face, and awesome foeI will always stand my groundTo this end my fate is bound!

This fight is mine and mine aloneand there's no help from anyone!

His wrath burns!With insane heatall his fury is unleashedthere is no way to defeat!The forces and the power that he wields

My hand holds the horn so firmI am calm and ready to dieEverything around me burnsAnd I know that I will not survive

See him rise from land of flamesin this wild and barren landI will make my final standMy death awaits, I have no fearTo this end my fate is boundthough I'm doomedI'll stand my ground!

This fight is mine and mine aloneand there's no help from anyone!

[Solo: Simon Solomon]

I go forth to meet my doombut I will die in vain


6/11

perdition waits for everyoneThe world will die in flames

With all my strength I run the horndeep into his eyeAnd as he swings his burning sword

I die with a tired smile!


7. For Victory Or Death

Time!has come to wash our shame awayto erase the image of defeatWe!

have licked our wounds,restored our strengthand our vengeance will be oh so sweet

They thought they had us downthat we'd never rise againthey will learn that they were deadly wrongwhat's owed will be repaid

Again we'll feed the wolvesand then vengeance will be ourswe'll split their skulls and spill their gutsupon the frozen groundYeah,we'll never kneel againnot to deity nor mennow they'll taste our bitter hatewhat's owed will be repaid

So raise the flag once moreand the eagle will be fedonce again we march to warfor victory or death

They arrived with talk of hvitekristby force they wanted us to kneelwith their swords held to our throats they preached

but we will make them pay we'll take their lives away

[solo: Mikkonen]

So Raise!raise the flag once morein the east the eagle will be fedMarch!again we march to warwe will march for victory or deathPain!the pain and suffering

is but a bleak and distant fading dreamShame!our disgrace; a withering thought


7/11

finally our names will be redeemed

8. Wrath Of The Norsemen

My head hurts like hellCan't open my eyesMy clothes are all wetAnd I'm freezing right throughDon't know where I amOr how to get homeMy muscles are numbAnd it's hard to get up

My muscles they acheWith every moveI stand on my feet

But my knees feel so weak

[Chorus:]Somebody wake meFrom this horrible dreamSomebody save meFrom this terror I feel

[Solo: Sderberg]

I stumble aroundon the soft muddy groundI call out the nameof the friends I can't findbut only the windAnd the ravens reply

With every gaspwith every breathsmoke fills my lungsand my intestines wrenchWith every gaspthe sweet taste of deathThe air is full of a thickpungent stench

[Solo: Sderberg]

So comes then rainit's colder than iceI wash off my faceand open my eyesAnd then I seebut wish I were blind

They are all deadthere's blood everywhere

The Norsemen they leftonly death and despairA stench of flesh


8/11

that fills the Autumn air

[Chorus:]Somebody wake meFrom this horrible dreamSomebody save me

From this terror and painNo one can save meFrom this horrible dreamNo one can hear meOr my heart-wrenching screams

9. A Beast Am I

Conceived was IFrom chaos and hate

Of malice, deceit and bloodAnd how would they knowMy fate is to riseAgainst the AsagodsMy being is full, full of a rageAn evil that can't be tamedIt darkens my soulAnd blackens the bloodA fire that fills my veins

So howDid I ever end up here?Humiliated, broken and weakI've waitedFor a thousand yearsTo break these chains apart andTo finally break myself free

I bit the hand, off the mighty TyrWhen I couldn't, tare my tiesNow banished I dwellA sword in my jawawaiting the end of timeIn darkness I drownConsumed by my hate

Longing for revengeAllfather will payFor his deceitAt the battleOf Ragnark

A beast am ISo vicious and grimThey fear my meanGrinning teethI bide my timemy sweet revenge

Soon my ties will fallAnd finally I will be free


9/11

So when you hear me howlingYou'll know that I have come for youWhen you hear me call your nameYour life will end in nameless pain


Conceived was IFrom chaos and hateOf malice, deceit and bloodAnd how would they knowMy fate is to riseAgainst the AsagodsMy being is full, full of a rageAn evil that can't be tamedIt darkens my soulAnd blackens the bloodA fire that fills my veins

A beast am ISo vicious and grimThey fear my meanGrinning teethI bide my timemy sweet revengeSoon my ties will fallAnd finally I will be!Finally break myself!Finally I will be free!

10. Doom Over Dead Man

The autumn clouds are caving inAnd night comes crawling, black as sinLightning strikes, and rain beginsA storm that tears my soul

I toss and tumble in my bedMy thoughts are spinning in my headDarkness nears, soon I'll be deadI'm losing all control

I've spent my life in foolish questsfor gold and riches, I confessAnd now I'm left with just regretsToo late to change my ways

My life, it seems, has slipped awayI leave no legacy to praiseNothing more for me to sayMy life has been a waste

When!

My time has come for me to leaveWhen!When judgment's passed upon my life


10/11

When!A cold dark grave will wait for meWill!Will my name live endlessly?When!My time has come for me to leave

When!When judgment's passed upon my lifeWhen!A cold dark grave will wait for meWill!Will my name live endlessly?

So I dieBut won't be mournedBroken and aloneI wish that I were never born

So I die and won't be missedNo rune stone will be raisedAs my body rots away

Die!All friends and cattle pass awayDie!And death will come for every manDie!But I know one thing never diesDoom!The sentence passed upon the deadNow!

The time has come for me to leaveNow!When judgement's passed up on my lifeNow!Now I will rest in my dark graveWill!They speak my name with reverence?

My life has been a wasteNo rune stone will be raisedSo I die, but won't be mournedI wish that I were never born

I rest here in my shallow graveAs my body rots away
