A Fury Divine Lyrics

Death is drawing near
I know it's true but have no fear
I know I can't escape my

Fate! Turns it's deadly wheel
Judgement day is closing in but still I can not 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...

(solo: Mikkonen)

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
The fury in him was divine
Now he is dead, his fate has been sealed
He's brought to golden hall up high

Abandoned Lyrics

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 fell 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. And 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. Them 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.

Across The Rainbow Bridge Lyrics

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 of 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

Amon Amarth Lyrics

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 five hundred men assembled on shore. 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 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 to the sloaps. Bodley 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 sculls 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 before. None can escape their cuts.

Arrows with fire fly through the air. Torching houses and shields. The Vikings can feel victory is near. As the enemy heedlessly 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.

An Ancient Sign Of Comming Storm Lyrics

"Där tog en nordlig vind
skeppet, sa att kungen
ombord fjördes med
till strid mot tva kungar
De djärva kungarna
Hälsade med pilskott
Ordlöst i striden.
Slöldarnas buller räckte."

Blood red bows plough the waves
Dragon heads grin
Twenty ships witrh Horsemen braves
Riding the nothern wind

They left their shores at early dawn
As a red sun was rising in the east
An ancient sugn of coming storm Thunder of sword and shield

Sails apper in the south
Now every man prepare
The sea will be colored by blood
Battle is drawning 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
Here is 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

Annihilation Of Hammerfest Lyrics

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 Mjцlner is kept
Is under siege

They fear the power of Mjцlner
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 christened 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 within his eyes
As his life was snuffed

With raw and brutal force
The warlord brakes 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, Mдktige Hдrjafader
Gudar av Asars och Vaners дtt
Hцr mina ord, nдr som jag svдr
Att om tusen vintrar гter ta vгr rдtt"

(solo: Sцderberg)

While he speaks his prayer, Mjцlner rests in the air
As if holding its breath
Frozen by fear, the gathered stand and stare
And what they see is death

A laughing cry, fills the shivering night
He lets the hammer strike
A bolt of lightning bright, Rips the darkend sky
Fire of doom ignite!

As Long As The Raven Flies Lyrics

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 am 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

Avenger Lyrics

My pale 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 to 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 ingrave the blade with magic runes
And summon Gods by sacrifice in blood
Pure blue hate shines within this sword
His 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!

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 so 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 – to the ground

Bastards Of A Lying Breed Lyrics

You've ruled us for too long
Truth to you are lies to me
And your right is so wrong

Moral preached by ! <Imoral>!immortal fucks
All I feel is despise
Lie no more you fucking cunts
You tare me up inside

Your son 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
The 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 stone 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 brake
Censorship can't stop our truth
We speak straight from the heart
There is nothing you can do
We'll tare your souls appart

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 appart

Bleed for ancient gods Lyrics

Making way through blades and spears
We attack at dawn
The glory scene is near
From northern gods we're spawned

Defender's fighting sprit crack
Torching house of single god
We цeave 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!

Blinded By The Right Lyrics

You could be President if your daddy was first
If your brother the governor had the power to coerce
It's absurd but he could change laws so certain votes were heard
For what it's worth, that "democratic" election could be yours

Blinded by the Right

It's the beginning of the end
Now Big Brother is your friend
The Patriot Act enacted allows the government in
To see how you spend, read what you read, jail you indefinitely
And defend they don't intend to end your personal privacy

Blinded by the Right
It's fucked up being seduced by the coalition of Christ

Ignore the Saudis though they backed the 9/11 attacks
Why fight economic allies who share a border with Iraq
Deceive and say Saddam hides weapons that might blow up the US
Let's take him out instead, yeah, and make the Iranians next
We'll feel good about ourselves though Bin Laden is on the run
While Saddam Hussein appears as public enemy number one
Conveniently forgetting it's the Saudis we should fight against
Neglect the UN
Ship kids and bring them back in a body bag
Is it a quagmire yet?
I'll bet this ain't as bad as it gets
Just ask your local hero the homeless Vietnam Vet
What was it like losing your friends fighting a cause that wasn't just?
Well, son, it just was what it was, justice I never saw

Blinded by the Right
It's fucked up being seduced by the coalition of Christ

I wish my vote counted
I wish my vote was counted
I was Blinded, Blinded
I wish my vote was counted
Blinded, Blinded

Bloodshed Lyrics

Midgard's cold and hatred reigns
Hunger and disease
Fenris is set free again
Chaos is unleashed
The storm of death sweeps the shores
Famine sweep the land
Ties of kinship is no more
Sons die by their father's hand
Two men meet on battleground
Their eyes are full of hate
By sacred oaths both are bound
Death will be their fate
They share the blood of once proud men
Yet foes they have become
One fights for truth, the other for faith
Perish has begun
Here comes the - Bloodshed
It's the age of - Bloodshed
Here comes the - Bloodshed
It's the age of - Bloodshed
Two brothers meet in battle heat
Both will die to day
No victory and no defeat
Death is their only way
In their eyes is no remorse
They make their final charge
Thrusting their swords with mortal force
Piercing each other's hearts
Here comes the - Bloodshed
It's the age of - Bloodshed
Here comes the - Bloodshed
Prepare for - Bloodshed

Burning Creation Lyrics

Surtur comes from the south
With red hot fire wargods swords
shines like the sun
Mountains break, men on hel-road
The heaven crumbles, Ragnarцk is at hand

Then ro Hlin appears
Another grief when Odin Odin goes to fight
The evil Fenris
And brave and glory Freyr
Goes against Surtur
Then will Frigg's beloved one die
Vidar, Odin's mighty son
He will come to slay the wolf
The sword he 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 whose misdeeds he not feared
Dying from its venom

When all are gone
Only Surtur remained
Passong his hand of fire
Across the whole world
Consuming all of creation

Dear Slim Lyrics

Dear Slim,
My favorite icon put the bong and the knife down
I'm sick of the songs about strapping your mom and your ex-wife down
To a nuclear bomb and dropping them on Saddam
Killing all the muses you use in almost all of your songs
Except those songs about Slim the Hip-Hoppian God
They make it seem you don't respect rappers like Biggie and Pac
Who if it weren't for them you be out of a job
Or flipping burgers with Ronald McDonald and not leading your mob
But the Blob's offensive, run and jumping the fences
And burying politicians in pop culture trenches
Dude, have some humility, oops responsibility, oops accountability, oops I said humility
Your face has covered worse magazines
than the artists and politicians you've mocked on every CD release
Ooh, how cool; you've proved you lack tact in your songs
In fact, you've grown up to act just like your mom

If y'all represent the truth and America's youth
Act like a leader we could actually use
You're a celebrity now, oh no, look what you did
You're America's role model but deny that you're it

Come on, come on, let's stand together as one

I ain't yelling about selling my soul, going to hell and back for platinum
Or gold to show the world is a gullible globe
Although, I can't respect the coalition of politicians signing petitions
Fearing Eminem's mission to bitch
When it's his right to taunt if he wants to fight
Even if you're frightened of what he might want to write
You're sworn to defend men, who offend men
Just because you believe in the first amendment
Even if it's illogical angst and vengeance
So defend your senses, but cleanse your dirty lenses
The law's written to both conservatives and leftists
It says Vanilla Ice Preservatives can be sexist

If y'all represent the truth and America's youth
Act like the leaders we could actually use
You're politicians now, oh no, look what you did
You're America's role models but deny art from our kids

Come on, come on, let's stand together as one

Censoring, the denial of actual words or factual things declared obscene
But molesting archdiocese, disease,
dead people in the streets from shooting sprees, epidemics
Paramedics clearing debris here and overseas aren't banned from TV
But yell shit, goddamn, or fuck hear three individual bleeps
A word's a word, let it be heard and learned
It's not the individual words but the order that hurts
Come on, come on, let's stand together as one
Come on, come on, stop threatening to censor our thoughts
And you'll get the response you want from now on
Come on, come on

Death In Fire Lyrics

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 are on the move
Everyone, choose your side
And know the day 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 in to 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!

Don't Wait Lyrics

Don't wait, don't wait
Don't wait, don't wait
You're way too late
Don't wait, don't wait

The beat goes on
Until it's gone

She strolls so slowly with her ball and chain
The cling clang chatters patterns with the patter of rain
Stares in a mirror cracked in seven different ways
With holes in her umbrella dripping on her face

Her makeup running down like the tragedy face
Alone on a city street surrounded by space
She opens her mouth to scream and shout out the pain
But all that comes out are silent sobbing sounds of restrain

The beat goes on
Until it's gone

There comes a time when she will trust her belly
Not disappear from the world like Machiavelli no
Forfeit the pride it's not a crime but she's running out of time
And denies it's showing while her anxiety's growing old

Don't wait, don't wait
Don't wait, don't wait
You're way too late
Don't wait, don't wait

Until it's gone

Down The Slopes Of Death Lyrics

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 eyes
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

Eyes Of Horror Lyrics

(Posessed cover)

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

For The Stabwounds In Our Backs Lyrics

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!

Friends Of The Suncross Lyrics

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 until 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 Suncross. Strong and brave to the grave!.

Gin Sippin' Lyrics

Strolling down the strip, we were straight strip tripping
Tipping all the dealers we were straight gin sipping
Go gamble, fuck hos, everybody knows everybody smokes dope
You can smell on our clothes
A little bit of indo a little bit of girls
Because we were kind of curious what was under their skirts

Oh, we're just fucking around
They don't know we're just fucking around

Split it, hit it, win it, stick around for a minute
Throw another bill in it; though, you'll be broke without credit
You will be glad that you did, 'cause you'll be fucked up and faded
With a gold digger who's pretty and thinks that you're rich and witty

Oh, we're just fucking around
They don't know we're just fucking around

I'd been stinking from drinking
My boys are AWOL I'm thinking
I needed a room for the weekend
On to the hotel with the beacon
I gave a tip to this chick it was a chip worth a grip but that was it
A wink and a key and I went to my room
Oh, not two, there were three different whores all for me
What a time what a place they won't remember my face

No one knows, oh, we're just fucking around
They don't know we're just fucking around

Soon afternoon came and I'd been up for two days
I had played the same game with money and hos you know how it goes
Our weekend had ended with all the hos we befriended
But our egos had landed since we went home empty handed
Come on and let's go, let's go hit the road for four hours home
We'll go and get stoned and no one will know

Gods Of War Arise Lyrics

Darkness flees the rising sun
The village lies ahead
It will wake 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!

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 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 a 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

*solo Mikkonen*

The day draws to a 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
