Chanted hymns of war Land on northern shore Christian men from Rome Far away from home Come to convert one To their hallowed son Those that would deny They would surely die At the edge of sword Or the edge of spear Worship their one lord Claim their god you fear Convert or die they say Forcing all to pray They would not survive If they ran for their lives 20,000 spears Marching endlessly Men who know no fear Death and hell they bring! Meeting them head on We the northern sons Cannot idle by These Christians must die Brought by Odin's might Many men to fight Atgeir pierce the light Shields on each mans right The legion turns its head Those that don't are dead Axes through the air Skulls split flesh made bare Marching towards us Feeding a Vikings lust Line by line they plod In the name of their god 20,000 spears Marching endlessly Men who know no fear Death and hell they bring! They charge We stand Shield wall made of thousands Holding Striking Norsemen feed them steel death Bodies Bloodied Few who knew of Midgard Many Roman Fall in the name of Christ Mercy For none Not a soul turns to run Hacking Stabbing Slash, Smash and Impaling Splintered Shattered Shields, smashed and bones alike Too many Too strong Their ranks begin to unfold

Many years ago, before the dawn of time Our fathers ruled the land; our gods gave first born sign. Never to back down, never to show fear A mighty warrior stands tall, when death is even near. Ten thousand strong, marched side by side Fallen ashes, blackened out the skies. The sound of the roaring winds, our battle for the throne Bloody, battered and bruised, our weakness never shown. Descendants of Odin We are the next, we are the kin Its more than blood that flows within We vanquish all and any, who oppose our land fighting close to home, killing Christian man. We break out of the mist; a storm waits up ahead Outnumbered by a ton, now we walk with death Twenty thousand strong, fought side by side Grey clouded skies fell to the ground. The sound of thunder hoards, the battle for our home Broken, Beaten bones, our weakness never shown. Descendants of Odin We are the next, we are the kin Its more than blood that flows within Trenched, in the fury of divine waves Our fathers speak to us in silence And they all say, The battles are far from done What can you make of this life, from beyond the grave? What can you make of this death; all you leave is a, Nameeeeeeee! Bodies fill the field, blood flows down the stream The stench of death in air, home was just a dream. The gods gave us this life, we’re destined to succeed No men can hold us down! Odin’s strengths all we need. Forty thousand strong, died side by side Fires fill the land as crows black out the sky The sound of silent moors, Valhalla’s all we known Descendants of our gods, Our weakness never shown.

Let free our wrathful hate conquering all that stands in our path. The weak shall be hurled in eternal fire thy angels shall perish forever There's no escaping our northern might Our lord has ordered your demise The light bringers flee to their false god Let it be known We shall bring hellish storm War upon celestial Set the vault of heaven, up in flames, War on this celestial... Your divine coronation Corrupt ideals of salvation Encroaching upon our nation Hel awaits you in damnation We shall not falter Our lord of war commands as we descend from his altar Our lord of war demands Let it known We shall bring hellish storm War upon celestial Set the vault of heaven, up in flames War on this celestial kingdom Thou shall ride, thou shall fight, and fight this war with pride! We shall slaughter them all We are your last legion! They shall fall They shall burn Perish! Into darkness We are the Last Legion!

Children of the fallen sun Set your sails the time has come To ride upon the dragon high To soar the seas and rising tide To leave these lands in search for wealth With sword and axe and shield and mail Our mighty swords all fall upon Let battle come let there be war! Take us take us to the sky! This night is full of terror And terror is what we shall be Upon a mighty dragon we shall fly! And let all be full of terror Let all who face us fight and fall or flee! Upon the mist we sail along The war horn sounds the time has come These shores we cross to sate our thirst Of blood and death and boundless wealth We shall never forget the Oaths that we have sworn upon Our mighty spears all fall upon Let battle come let there be war! Take us take us to the sky! This night is full of terror And terror is what we shall be Upon a mighty dragon we shall fly! And let all be full of terror Let all who face us fight and fall or flee! Let the winds now guide us In this night of terror As we descend upon you Our warcrys fill the night Take us take us to the sky! This night is full of terror And terror is what we shall be Upon a mighty dragon we shall fly! And let all be full of terror Let all who face us fight and fall or flee! In this night of terror Our warcries fill the night

The clouds they part The sky it shall crack Such fear the Jotun showed Of the Hammer of Thor! They march to war from Jotunheim With axe and clubs forged from the ice A cold they bring to Asgard With voices loud they storm the gates The walls they smash soon all shall fall The valiant slain rush to defend No rush in living forever! Bones are broken! Bodies are splattered! Thunder it speaks! Come forth Skull cracker! For Odin, Tyr and, Fallen Bauldur For all the AESIR! We march to war! Heimdal blow Gjallarhorn! 20,000 spears stand ready! The clouds they part The sky it shall crack Such fear the Jotun showed Of the Hammer of Thor! A sound of thunder leads the charge The valiant spears pierce their frozen flesh The Jotnar begin to unfold Just then their true might begins to shine A force as large as the eye can see Led by the Laufeyson All is heard is his laugher! Bones are broken! Bodies are splattered! Thunder it speaks! Come forth Skull cracker! For Odin, Tyr and, Fallen Bauldur For all the AESIR! We march to war! Heimdal blow Gjallarhorn! 20,000 spears stand ready! The clouds they part The sky it shall crack Such fear the Jotun showed Of the Hammer of Thor! On Naglfar she Sails Sister of the serpent and wolf Daughter of the Laufeyson She brings the end off all They march to war from Jotunheim With voices loud they storm the gates The sound of thunder The valiant spears pierce She brings the end off all Twilight of the gods

Betrayer 03:39
Visions, visions show the future I've armored myself for your assault Despicable notions occur in your mind Displaying the nature shown in your eyes Plotting and planning you weave all your schemes As a coward honor less and lost in your fear So blunt is your knife so dull is your spear The time you have waited for this time has grown near Betrayer! Have you fallen away from yourself I shall spell your Doom Fallen farther and farther away Forsaken your dreams and lost in your schemes I shall seal your Fate Numbing, numbing your weapons are useless Forever you cower in shadows of dust Betraying the ones who once called you brother In shadows you hide like a coward you run Broken, broken you stand alone Weighted by guilt and a hollow soul Broken, broken you shall be broken This winter of wolves shall relish the slaughter Betrayer! Have you fallen away from yourself I shall spell your Doom Fallen farther and farther away Forsaken your dreams and lost in your schemes I shall seal your Fate Forever the wolves will hunt you And drag you into the frozen abyss Forever the wolves will hunt you And devour your liver your lungs and your heart Forever the wolves will hunt you A sacrifice to the alfather above Forever the wolves will hunt you Fallen and fallen away and away the... Betrayer! Have you fallen away from yourself I shall spell your Doom Fallen farther and farther away Forsaken your dreams and lost in your schemes I shall seal your Fate

Valkyria 03:12
A Battle Fought Who cares for what To swing my axe is all I crave A berserks rage A Vikings lust Sends many to an early grave A sudden pierce at my side The blood it flows an end to life Yet on I fight to the bitter end A light I see far beyond Valkyria! I await your call I wish to fight once more Valkyria! To the golden hall Where the brave may live forever! The stories of so long ago The skalds still tell it well Of axes swung and swords that peirced Through many a cowards shield They told of her light so high above For Odin the alfather On past Bifrost, on past Heimdal To claim a seat in Valhalla! Valkyria! I await your call I wish to fight once more Valkyria! To the golden hall Where the brave may live forever! Lo, there do I see my Father Lo, there do I see my Mother And my Sisters and my Brothers Lo, there do I see the line Of my people back to the beginning They do bid me to take my place among them In the Halls of Valhalla Where the Brave may live forever

Sound the horns Our king commands We sail towards war and glory Man the oars Hail the winds Skuldelevs unleashed on the world Thor and Odin praised Aegir was forgot For this a storm was summoned They have incurred his wrath Ships were flung Souls paid tribute To the mighty god of the seas Frozen waves Steal their breath As they cling to what remains Surviving night Surviving day The king and twelve on the bow Still armed, Still ready Greeted by the shadow of eagle wings Hræsvelgr the beast at the edge of the world Piercing eye gaze Talons of razor Wingspan of a hundred men His hands steady Soldiers at his side The king does not cower nor fear The beast approaches It savors the meal to come The beast must be filled The king to feed him steel Whole men consumed Spears and shield burst Sternums smashed in By crushing forces Heads left bodies Arms followed suit Axe and sword swung His majesty leaves his mark Hræsvelgr the beast at the edge of the world Claws pierced flesh The flesh of the king He strikes his axe Into his enemy The beasts devours his leg He screams in pain He plants his arm spiked and mailed into its eye The king drifts on the bow to our northern shores With him proof of the beast at the edge of the world

Boreal seas meet solemn land On the edge lies our king Frozen in time and battle his eyes speak of the pain endured Not a word is spoken Nor do his kin weep For glory in battle achieved is victory for his people Open the gates For the king of all kings Champion of men Only under Alfader himself Enswathed is his arm By the eye of the beast Proof of his worth Of his seat in Valhalla Many a voyage brought spoils of battle home His final journey bears a trophy to behold Under his rule His empire has prospered Silver and riches divine Bathed in ambrosia Open the gates For the king of all kings Champion of men Only under Alfader himself Enswathed is his arm By the eye of the beast Proof of his worth Of his seat in Valhalla Constructing his ship Made from the bow They fill it with treasure From the around the land They set him adrift one last time Vigilant as the flames caress his face Once again brought to the gates of Midgard Greeted by the ravens and eagle cries Glory in battle Glory for all Glory in battle Claim your seat in the hall!
