The Bridge
04:47
|
|||
Wild war fighters whisper in the fog
Glorious black knights wield and swing the sword
While you’re falling down
It’s when you stop praying
That you start pleading
I will be a prisoner once again
On this everlasting bridge
Mother land, lead my heart
They will burn in their own disdain
Side by side enemies in this timeless circle
Mesmerized on this path, sins will fall…
Sins will fall apart
Emerald murder
Gold teeth in the godless man
You’re bent to the blood fruit mast,
Stifled underneath the veil
No blades will defeat you
Your words will leave a scar
I will be a prisoner once again
On this everlasting bridge
Mother land, lead my heart
They will burn in their own disdain
Side by side enemies in this timeless circle
Mesmerized on this path, sins will fall…
Sins will fall apart

Mountains
04:16
|

Quiet, imperious giants of the Earth
With their peaks they reach the sky
So revered, into the night they disappear
Silently they’re watching us, dispensing wisdom
Since the dawn of time they heal the world
Expression, symbol of majesty
The mountains call, I can feel they want me
Pure white, cold and charming landscapes
Ward off my fears and take me away from my pain,
My distress
That’s why they make me feel so innocent
They make me feel so blind
And I will never go back to
Those prisons that we call ‘homes’
Now the mountains are filling all my dreams
As in a fortress impregnable
I found the way to get my time, my salvation
They make me feel so innocent, so blind
They make me feel so weak
But now I’ve finally found freedom

Immortal Blood
05:54
|
|||
Father, forgive the pain I caused you
The burden I carry since that day
For no reason I am the keeper of this curse
That burns and seethes inside my veins
And now I have to hide from light and sun,
And that’s why they call me ‘damned soul’
I can cheat death by feeding on fresh blood
My cure Is also my damnation
When the world grows dark I can’t relieve this sorrow
My flesh needs some new lymph
And to stay alive my teeth will pierce the prey
To refresh my immortal blood
When the night comes down It will bring a new tomorrow
A new dawn full of sin
And to stay alive my teeth will pierce the prey
To refresh my immortal blood
Domination supremacy and control:
The plagues that tempt my condition
All the humans consider us a threat,
Our lands will never know peace
And now I have to hide from light and sun,
And that’s why they call me ‘damned soul’
I can cheat death by feeding on fresh blood
My cure, my doom
When the world grows dark I can’t relieve this sorrow
My flesh needs some new lymph
And to stay alive my teeth will pierce the prey
To refresh my immortal blood
When the night comes down It will bring a new tomorrow
A new dawn full of sin
And to stay alive my teeth will pierce the prey
To refresh my immortal blood
Fire, light and pain fill my eyes
My cold breath before their last sigh

Battle of Tettenhall
05:59
|
|||
All the armies are deployed and fit
My father stands fearless in the front line
Our future is already sealed
Will our courage lead us to win?
For two centuries we controlled these lands
But now it’s time to spill the blood on the sand
Shield Wall!
Inside me the tension keeps increasing
The rune in my hand will protect me
Wessex and Mercia are preparing to attack
For all of us there is no way back
Day after day, night after night
For the immortal gods we fight
All together valiant and brave
Until the sun goes down
Day after day, night after night
When the blades still wildly shine
Like a storm we’ll rise up from
The ashes of our ancestors
Side by side, every man hides his hope
In a sword, in a shield, in the sky
Ethereal entities are watching us around the battlefield
Flocks of birds above our heads create multiple shapes
If this is to be our final effort, we will fight
If this is to be our last day, we’ll proudly die
Will our souls be protected for eternity?
Will our spirits be welcomed to Valhalla and be free?

Skål
04:54
|
|||
Dead on the battlefield, with an axe in my hands
My soul is gently raised, like a mother raising her son
Big wings beat repeatedly and then they fly away
I find myself in front of the great shining golden doors
Far away, far away, I’ve finally found rest
Embracing my fallen brothers
To the gods, to the gods, we can gladly toast
In Valhalla we have been welcomed
Odin opens the gates, all together we celebrate
We run through the rooms chasing and hunting wild boars
The feast won’t end, we will drink more
Sharing a mead, laughing and joking
This is how we want to live for eternity
Fighting and hunting, talking about war
Putting my heart into my bright sword
Skål! Skål! Skål!
Skål! Skål! Skål!
Riding the wind like a mighty eagle
We are Einherjar, we’re training for Ragnarok
Chosen by the Valkyries we ‘ll honor the oath
With glory and loyalty we live in brotherhood
Far away, far away, I’ve finally found rest
Embracing my fallen brothers
To the gods, to the gods, we can gladly toast
In Valhalla we have been welcomed
Drawing the swords stained with enemy’s blood
We’ll face the opponent by raising our battle cry
Beyond any fears and beyond any concern
Our deeds are indelible, now and forevermore
Far away, far away, I’ve finally found rest
Embracing my fallen brothers
To the gods, to the gods, we can gladly toast
In Valhalla we have been welcomed
Skål! Skål! Skål!

Yggdrasil

The ash tree, the majestic tree of life
Pillar of the nine worlds
Connecting realms it watches over us
Immensity, light, eternal hope
Green as life and covered in moist loam
It preserves wisdom and sacredness
The three Norns who live within the Well of Urd
Control, control and rule destiny
Everything we believe in
Is just the will of
YGGDRASIL! Majestic tree of life
YGGDRASIL! Your branches touch the worlds
YGGDRASIL! Where Odin sacrificed himself
YGGDRASIL! Beginning and end of everything
YGGDRASIL! Giver of wisdom
YGGDRASIL! Source of knowledge and power
YGGDRASIL! Where Odin sacrificed himself
YGGDRASIL! Beginning and end of everything
For 9 days and nights Odin hung himself from you
To gain the knowledge of the runes
Strong, immortal and mighty you exist
Immortal and mighty you resist
Odin!
YGGDRASIL! Majestic tree of life
YGGDRASIL! Your branches touch the worlds
YGGDRASIL! Where Odin sacrificed himself
YGGDRASIL! Beginning and end of everything
YGGDRASIL! Giver of wisdom
YGGDRASIL! Source of knowledge and power
YGGDRASIL! Where Odin sacrificed himself
YGGDRASIL! Beginning and end of everything

Vinland

Come on brother, get on board, new lands we have to see
And big adventures await us there
The Drakkar roar blown by the wind lost in the immensity
Of waves and thunders, and their echo
The fog has lifted, finally the view is clear again
A sailor is shouting “Land! Land! Land!”
Mysterious island sheltered by sea
Full of berries and grapevines, that is all we need
Rivers of wine accompany our raids
Here we want to stay
This is Vinland!
Outstanding meadows and amazing cliffs
You can sing until sundown gleefully carefree
People get drunk and party all day
Here we want to stay
This is Vinland!
Future awaits us!
There’s no border, neither a line that we can’t overcome
Our wanderlust is unstoppable
We are rewriting history, the name we bear will be
Immortal and unforgettable
Mysterious island sheltered by sea
Full of berries and grapevines, that is all we need
Rivers of wine accompany our raids
Here we want to stay
This is Vinland!
Outstanding meadows and amazing cliffs
You can sing until sundown gleefully carefree
People get drunk and party all day
Here we want to stay
This is Vinland!
Future awaits us!
Handing down our culture
Will ensure that stronger ties will be born
Mixing blood and wine our roots will prosper
In the course of time

The Fifth Season
05:20
|
|||
Don’t pretend you can’t hear this whisper of death
A decline denied for too long
Winds of damnation are crumbling the mountains
Eruptions are still mighty and strong
Humanity has been nearly wiped out
Warnings have just been ignored
Cities are empty, abandoned for years
People have lost faith in God,
Their faith in God
Famine and drought have spread,
Potable water is scarce
Existence has become affliction
But something is changing out there
Can you feel new hope in the air?
A chance to be reborn together
Now, there’s a new beautiful miracle
All the suffering and struggles are gone
A new time has come
We can’t fail, we must carry on
Now the Earth is finally livable
And the animals are back in the woods
A new era is born
The Fifth Season will leave this world
A new chapter for you to write
No hatred, and no more wars
Strong and brave against decay
A brighter path, a brand-new day
Now, there’s a new beautiful miracle
All the suffering and struggles are gone
A new time has come
We can’t fail, we must carry on
Now the Earth is finally livable
And the animals are back in the woods
A new era is born
The Fifth Season will leave this world

Spirit of the North
05:39
|

Travelling tirelessly to the edge of time
Born on the wind and strengthened by the sun
You don’t belong to anyone, you keep the secrets
Of the world, and the mystery of the night
Feel the breeze blowing through the horizons of our lives
Fast among the valleys, light above the clouds
The echo in the glades, the whisper in the caves
You’re the one invisible to the eye
Ancient signs mark your passage in the past
Evoking pure magic, concealing hidden truths
The ancestors’ blood takes you to the endless path
To the unknown, in the journey of mankind
You bring the music of silence
The ancestral power of the runes
Will never stop to inspire you
Fair spirit of the North
Your wisdom shines forever bright
Inside the nature’s moan, we hear the
Rustle of the waves and the howling of the storms
The sky will lead you through the centuries to come
Until the final dawn
Fair spirit of the North
Your wisdom shines forever bright
Until the final dawn
Fair spirit of the North
Your wisdom shines forever bright
Inside the nature’s moan, we hear the
Rustle of the waves and the howling of the storms
The sky will lead you through the centuries to come
Until the final dawn
