The mighty doors of the Speargod's hall Lyrics

A battle on distant shore
Seawolves warth sweep the land
Down from the skies Valkyries ride
And walk the field halowed by Tyr
The fight is hard, axes are swung
Swords bite sharp, men are slewn
The ground turns red, bloodsoaked field
Dead man's last bed and Odin sees

Vikings fall, in blood they lie
The webs of Norn's, they've met their fate
With shield and sword they've benn brought in pride
To the mighty doors of the Speargod's hall

The gates open and into the hall of braves
The silently walk
The one-eyed sits in glory mighty
Raises his cup and says:

"Pa Vida Fдltet
Hдrmдn Svingat
Det Blanket Svдrdet
Och Banen Mцtt
Till Den Hцges Sal
de I Дra Fцrts
Och Vid Mjцdet Hцr
Odin Kvдda"

Dawn breaks, the Einherjer go to
Relive their fight
With passion swords held high
As they ride in the morning mist

The sun warms the air, Warcries sound
Tor Hjelpe! The battle begins
Charging horses with fire breath
Rush to battle, in glory die!

Swords sing in joy, again they cut
With shining edges, bloodstained steel
Axes shine, again they've been swung
Ripping flesh, death be done

And the cold night comes with charging darkness
To Odin's hall the Einherjer return
A feast awaits, until the next day
When warriors eyes again shall burn

The Pledge Of Allegiance Lyrics

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America

The Sound Of Eight Hooves Lyrics

He's running through 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 masters patience ran out
He knew he had to flee

Tears are running down his cheeks
As he sobbing realize
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 fills 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

Thousand Years Of Opression Lyrics

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 kidness' 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 opression
Let the berserks rise again
Let the world hear these words once more:
"Save us, oh lord, from the wrath of the Norseman"

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

Under the grayclouded winter sky Lyrics

Gray 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 skins in battle

Frosted
Beards on pale gray faces
Eyes of death
Are burning with rage

Glancing across
The fields of death
In the early
Morning light

(spoken)
Gray 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

Warcries break the silent wait
Charging warriors rush to kill
Swords are swung in the air
The wargods are called

Vikings with fire in soul
Clash in 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 stormwind of death
Blows across the field
Sweeping with it
Everyone in its way

So the battle settles
Alone stands just one man
Under the grayclouded
winter sky
Alone

Unseen Lyrics

It's just cruel
It's just mean
I should've let this stay unseen

I don't believe that something's wrong
I don't believe that something's wrong

Fill up the gates but block the flow
Tilt back the head before they blow
Sit back again enjoy the show
My life's a movie now

I don't believe that anything is wrong
Close my eyes and I will be strong
By tomorrow I will have moved on
I don't believe that anything is wrong

It's just cruel
It's just mean
I should've let this stay unseen
Is this true?
Did you leave this out to read?
I should've let this stay unseen

It's none of my business
I hate that I read this
Don't want to address
I want to suppress this

Wow, my life's a movie now

I don't believe that anything is wrong
Close my eyes and I will be strong
By tomorrow I will have moved on
I don't believe that anything is wrong

It's just cruel
It's just mean
I should've let this stay unseen
Is this true?
Did you leave this out to read?
I should've let this stay unseen

I counted to ten, till you attracted attention
Relieved the tension and took the journal you mentioned out
My life's a movie now

I don't believe that anything is wrong
Close my eyes and I will be strong
By tomorrow I will have moved on
I don't believe that anything is wrong

It's just cruel
It's just mean
I should've let this stay unseen
Is this true?
Did you leave this out to read?
I should've let this stay unseen

Valhall Awaits Me Lyrics

Blood gushes from the wound
The cut is wide and deep
Right before I turn around
He falls to his knees
A clear song rings in the blade
When steel meets hardend steel
I hear the sound of wood that breaks
A swords cut through my shield

I drop the shield and grab my axe
*A weapon in each fist
A fierce 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 and axe on my side
Valhall awaits! Soon I will die
Sword in my hand and axe on my side
Valhall awaits me, when I die
Bearskin on my back
Wolfsjaw on my head
Valhall awaits me, when I'm dead

I raise my axe above my head
My eyes turned furious rage
Yet more blood will be shed
This is a victorious day!
Blood gushes from the wound
The cut is wide and deep
As they turn around
I fall to my knees

Sword in my hand and axe on my side
Valhall awaits! Soon I will die
Sword in my hand and axe on my side
Valhall awaits me, when I die
Bearskin on my back
Wolfjaw on my head
Valhall awaits me, when I'm dead!

Versus The World Lyrics

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 tooks us south
Hell bent on genocide
They made us face the brutal truth
This would be no easy ride
Grotesque creatues 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

Where Death Seems To Dwell Lyrics

"Thought 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 an 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 seeme 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, frightening sound

A cold blue light shimmer ahead
Where a mountain reaches for the sky
Nidafjell, mountain of the dead
Terrifiying its'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

Where Silent Gods Stand Guard Lyrics

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
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

Without Fear Lyrics

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. Link in slow motion to the ground.

Death release me. Free me from my earthly pain. Oden I ask thee please. Take me home.

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. And I know that Oden's. Sent for me. As I die.

Without fear I die. I hold my sword. And die. Without Fear.

...And Soon The World Will Cease To Be Lyrics

The Northern wind brings snow and ice
Humans starve and freeze
The Fimbul winter has arrived
And soon the world will cease to be
Brother will be brother's bane
No one shall be spared
All will die. None remain
That is mankind's share
The southern sphere is set ablaze
Muspel's fire is set free
The sun is on its final chase
And soon the world will cease to be
Across the western sky he runs
A wolf so grim and mean
Devours the eternal sun
And soon the world will cease to be
The North Star falls from the sky
Into the deep cold sea
The first of all to fall and die
And soon the world will cease to be
Muspel's flames lick the sky
Hidh鎔g eats the dead
The Aesir meet in hall up high
And Oden 'quests Mimer's head
Land is swallowed by the waves
Rocks and mountains break
Dead men on the path to Hell
And Yggdrasil quakes
[Lead Mikkonnen]
From the East comes a ship
Loke holds the oar
A demon army with swords that rip
Will join the final war
The army of the dead arrives
Heimdal blows his horn
Calling Gods out to die
Before the world can be reborn
