1. | Enter My Black Dreams | 03:30 | Show lyrics |
Dark red blood colours me A thick black cloud lies over Blood rains down from an angel’s cunt I drink the liquid of power Entering my black dreams A world without borders Where whores suck my flesh And where my evil thoughts unite To the north, I see an icy mirror Reflections so deep blue So I look straight into it And I see my own god Entering my black dreams The angel is crucified With cold silvery nails Raped with two goathorns The black and the unnamed It’s the dawn of the sixth of June Temples of christ burn bright I fly in the deepest blackness My inner hell my light Entering my dreams... |

2. | Whispers | 03:14 | Show lyrics |
Lead me through the night Blackness, the void covers me A dream of fullmoon, the light Up through the sky I fly Where are you now The beauty of darkness Holocaust, blood for thy soul I’ll carry you through the void Was it yesterday? A day seems to be like a century Take your revenge Through my sword of evil A part of me died with you It burns in my very heart Thy whispers, lead me in cosmos For thee I’ll shed my blood I raise my sword into the air You’ll soon have holy blood Your thirst will be quenched Revenge, blood of feeble dogs My insatiable lust Take my blood...I’ll join you I can hear thy calls from shadows Blood flows out of my veins...soon I’ll be there too Lead me through the night Blackness, the void covers me A dream of fullmoon, the light Up through the sky I fly. |

3. | Dark Aureoles Gathering | 03:49 | Show lyrics |
A forthcoming snowstorm I hear Whispering from the dark Freezing winds blow through The promised land of god Heralding the nocturnal rising Of the black breath of evil Dark aureoles are covering The fields of god from the sun Up from the forgotten graves they rise The black, the dark and the evil gathering to one site Calling the vast legions, to joing our unholy crusade Heading for immortality, that has been eternally craved Forming a new world of darkness A world where shadows prevail A world without time or end Creating a gate to the higher dimension. |

4. | The Diabolical Eve of the Nocturnal Holocaust | 04:05 | Show lyrics |
Hear the funeral bells chime The eve of our nocturnal feast of pain Diabolical ghastly winds Burn the corpses of weak believers in shame See our black legions ride For we crave our satanic souls to satisfy On our trail only darkness remains As we seek the crypts of eternal ice Hear his words of doom That have led us from the graves to victory Hear the sighs of the entombed That had denied him before the rising Unleash the perverse lust The forgotten diabolic desires Now thou art thy own god In this world of the darkest eternity We answer the call of the goat We ride under the black wings of evil Now this winter is forever Raped lies the holy flesh, frozen in the dark The sign of the goat shines in the northern sky For we’ve reached the hell The diabolical eve of the nocturnal holocaust. |

While night lays cold I pon the world at sleep Tonight our ancient force shall cause the holy grief We are the Dragon with seven horns The Beast of revelation With our Demonic legions We will burn the temples of christ Open your mind for a revolution Burn the heavens under our sign Under the fullmoon we slaughter All the people of the holy Sinai The union will last forever Our sign shines in the northern sky The name of the christ is cursed It’s the inferno on the earth Neither a shadow of holy Nor a shadow of christ Only the sins forbidden It’s our Diabolic Paradise |

1. | My Eyes Are Frozen | 03:31 | Show lyrics |
Rape us the time You bring us this loving wave Crosses they rose On our once proud pagan land Those words they spoke were like Needles on my skin And their blessings were like knives Stabbed into my heart I trusted thee O heathen men of the north To hail and fight And to run them out Those words they listened were like Stabs into my back The baptism they had meant That I had lost homeland Cold winds now freeze my eyes ...Now I flee Out of this shame they caused I spread my wings To fly to a realm of my own My eyes are frozen for the icy tears My soul sheds For those betrayers that were not Strong enough in faith |

2. | One Son of the Northstar | 05:36 | Show lyrics |
One endless cold star Here I stand... following Thy dark spirit... thy faint light A path across my dreams Take me far... into the unknown fly Over a desert... a snowfield ...and dancing woods I storm the nocturnal sky In the fiery chariots I ride... My dreams are like thy rays... I see them sink into the sands of time ...and fade... My spirit is like thine... Shows only its nightside Always strong and faithful ...and never fails... These snowy woods, this frozen land Here I stand... waiting For thee to come... to show thy face Over this land Once heathen... once proud In the icestorms Of the cold northern winter In the snowy hills and dark woods My heart is forged And that ice will never melt... |

3. | Uller | 05:31 | Show lyrics |
Amongst the cold Northern mountains He travells... Wrapped in furs And armed with a bow He is the god of winter Hear me Uller! Ride by me In the battles... and cover me With thy mighty shield O god of winter Born of mother Sif The stepson of thor In the cold winter lies his realm To the vale of Ydalir His footsteps lead There he dwells The god of winter |

4. | From the Snowy Hillsides They Came | 04:13 | Show lyrics |
Via the paths of the four winds Through the icy valleys and hills They came led by two ravens The messengers from the hall of the slain Warriors of a thousand battles Skalds of a thousand stories and tales Riding in a shadow Which will lie over the christian fame Hear the dark woods call Swear for the ancient names Odin, Thor, Valhalla Written into the heathen flames False beliefs fall Hearts of steel begin to pound again In my eyes I almost see Dragon ships setting sails Fathers, watch us ride Through the northern storms And freezing winds We are the horde That came from the snowy sides of hills Brothers up there we greet you just like you - we will never fail Sisters, wait for the call We will come when we hear the Odin’s hail... Via the paths of the four winds Through the icy valleys and hills they came led by two ravens The messengers from the hall Of the slain Warriors of a thousand battles Skalds of a thousand stories and tales Riding in a shadow Which will lie over the christian fame |

5. | In a Silent Night | 04:35 | Show lyrics |
Sitting under a pine The deep silence... unbroken around One dark lake So placid, so cold... Descended night Throws shadows over water Brown leaves fly Autumn is turning into winter What happens around me? It has no meaning... I sleep in my woe This is not my world... For my world lies Beyond other’s reach Shadows dancing - my throne My dreams’ winterland I behold Through the gates of time unseen In a silent night Somewhere deep inside In the darkest woods In the darkest nights Lies my ancient realm Where are still places For me to find Shadows dancing - my throne My dreams’ winterland I behold Through the gates of time unseen In a silent night |

6. | Come Fimbulvetr | 05:27 | Show lyrics |
The far north Between the snowy falls We stand - we think The time that passed ...The times that are gone For they reminded us Of the times of glory... our pride When our swords could drink The blood of the weak Now they’re all gone... Proud men have flown to Valhalla Left behind are only memories That hail us now... We live under a shadow In depression and woe... There hasn’t been dignity For a thousand years... There won’t be... that’s too much to ask Come Fimbulvetr |

7. | Yggdrasil’s Children Fall | 16:04 | Show lyrics |
[Act I: The Death of Balder] Autumn came to an end And the first snow began to fall Balder’s face was clouded The dreams of warning had called His mother sought oaths From all this below the sky To not to hurt her son To not to let him die Balder stood there encircled by gods Thrown with stones, spears and hit With sword No damage they had caused, not a wound In jealousy Loki disguised to find Why there was no harm The mother told him that all the things On the earth Had sworn an oath not to harm nor Kill her son ’All? ’, he asked and then she told him That only one was too young to swear And mistletoe was the one So Loki went across the frosted land To an ancient tree where mistletoe grew He cut off a piece and Returned to the plain Where gods were still enjoying their game Loki saw Hodur the Blind sitting Outside the ring watching The god’s game Loki gave him the twig and offered To guide his hand Pleased Hodur stepped forth And threw the twig across the plain It hit Balder’s chest piercing His bright body and he fell Onto the ground in blood The laughter and the joy ceased When Balder’s blood spilled On the pure snow of Asg†rd [Act II: A Farewell to the Son of Odin] Balder was set into his ship And there he laid cold With his wife beside him On his breast were all his possessions Placed carefully As the ceremony began The sun sank low over the icy sea Two ravens circled In the clear blue sky Singing their sadness Thor raised his hammer And blessed the pyre Waves carried the ship far to the sea There it burnt bright high Against the darkening sky Odin stood... tears falling from his eyes [Act III: Hermod’s Ride to Hel] Through dark howling valleys Of wind swept desolation Hermod rode alone Towards the land of death Sleipnir’s hooves in fire Nine days, nine nights Hermod rode to Hel On the farthest shore of Gjoll he came The bridge keeper waited Modgud Her name He asked for the release of Balder His brother She recalled and showed him the path Into the dark Hermod arrived to the palace At the Hel’s table among the dead He found his brother sitting Hermod told Balder He had come to take him to Asg†rd That night they sat Chatting and recalling past times He went to Hel and begged her For Balder’s release Telling her that all mourned For his decease She promised, if all things weeped For him He’d be free to return Through the valleys so dim Hermod returned and told the gods What Hel had said So messengers were sent to All over the world And all the world wept For their Balder beloved Only one old woman refused: ’Let Hel keep what she had’ [Act IV: The Bounding of Loki] Soon the gods found That old woman was Loki Revenge they swore And begin to hunt him Loki spent days as a salmon in waters Or as himself in a house Once the gods found Loki hiding In a river When he jumped to escape Thor caught him into his fist The gods took him to a deep cavern With his sons One day changed into a wolf And the wolf devoured other son’s body The gods took his intestines And with them bound Loki to rocks Skadi hung a snake above Loki’s head Venom dripping into his mouth So great was the pain That when Loki writhed All th worlds shook and trembled... [Act V: The Final Battle] After Balder’s death The gods withdrew from the earth Evil spread and Fimbulvetr arrived Battles raged all over The wolves rose One devoured the sun One the moon Stars fell crushing onto the earth Fenris broke his chains Midgard heaved his body Drowned the land in waves Washed the battlefields bloody Giants marched Fenris approached Gjallarhorn’s alarm Echoed in the air The armies of dead marched Lead by Loki the avenger The battlefield of Vigrid Will soon bathe in blood Odin rushed With a spear in his hand Behind him came The heroes of Valhalla And the battle began God against giant And giant against god The brave armies clashed After a long battle Both giants and gods Laid on the ground Never to rise again... [Act IV: A New Heaven, A New Earth] All the earth burnt in flames In times the flames will die One man and one woman survived And they shall bleed a new race Vidar and vali will walk upon A new heaven They’ll live upon the Ida plain Where Asg†rd once was And re-build it to be Far greater than before Children of thor will bring Their father’s hammer And Balder will return bright Leading the gods in the new age ...The new age under the sign Of the hammer |

1. | Autumn Roars Thunder | 11:12 | Show lyrics |
Torchlight in utter darkness Starts licking wood with its deadly tongue In seconds its hunger grows Wood is eaten by flames twelve feet long Before the eyes of heathens The shrine of the cross lights up the glade On the ground lie six bodies That have met their fate by pagan blade Hear the autumn thunder in the sky Vanishing the mild summer breeze An autumn thunder roars down on the ground By its force the foreign god flees A flash of steel cuts flesh By doing so it cuts the cross The mossy ground drinks the blood Of a hundred men in white clothes The morning smells of death But still it feels like a fresh wind After so many years Where the forests returned to the pagan kings Hear the autumn thunder in the sky Vanishing the mild summer breeze An autumn thunder roars down on the ground By its force the foreign god flees Fullmoon turned to crescent and crescent to fullmoon Many times over the forests of Häme The old gods were respected And new houses rose on the ashes of the cross All was at peace When the summer began to turn to autumn But when the first leaves turned to yellow and brown People began to see signs... bad omens One day a hunter from the coast came And told he had heard rumours The ships of the foe had been seen in northwest And their numbers were great Morning mist chilly was floating up from the sea At a dawn when leaves were falling down from trees Gathered were the pagan kings to the circle of stones Out of silence rose a man known as wise and old "We’ve all seen the fires And heard the tale of the hunter Hear my words when I say This autumn roars thunder" Passed dusks and dawns two times ten Fires burning were not on their hills Again was blood flowing, now of heathen men The foe had returned to burn and kill Village by village they went Leaving only crosses and ashes behind Until pagans were beaten By their body, not their mind Poured water on their heads Mumbling words of a foreign tongue Built houses for their god Was the pride of these forests forever gone? Hear the autumn thunder fade away With its echo they lost their pride Freedom of centuries was lost in days The autumn thunder in their hearts had died |

2. | Nightowl | 05:35 | Show lyrics |
Two eyes in darkness like two burning fires Still cold as a wintery lake The moon is hidden behind dark clouds Fluttering wings... the silence breaks I was walking on the edge of the forest When the eyes began to approach A while I just stood there watching The eyes coming close The owl she came onto my arm Her eyes starring deep into me Soon a shroud covered my eyes I could hear but I couldn’t see "The time is close, o men of Karelia Men of pride, the time is near Soon thou will see a new god coming When snow falls he will be here Centuries to come will see his dominion His dominion that makes thee slaves Have not fear, it won’t last forever The new dawn will hail thy father’ gods again" At the very moment the last word was gone Returned my sight I saw no owl only heard a silent flutter From Tapio’s realm, from the fading night As I walked away I thought: "It can’t be true that a northern man Would lose his honour and be a slave Of a god from an unknown land......." |

3. | When Ancient Spirits Battled | 04:36 | Show lyrics |
The battle of the giants was raging The Earth tried to free from the Ice Who had taken her to his deadly embrace And shunned her from all light The Sun rose and set a million times In the southern horizon Before he felt pity for the Earth Decided to save his beloved one The warm rays of the Sun laid upon the Earth Ice began to melt - waters flow So withdrew the Ice northwards to a land Where aurora borealis glow In time were water dried Still was the Earth desolate No life, no growth but one tree Suffering of Ice’s winds’ hate Of the seeds of this lonely tree Grew a forest and another and another The landscape changed to blue and green Lakes and forests became brothers Although winters were cold The land survived and filled with life Wolves and bears wandered in woods Not threatened by spear or knife At a dawn on a hillside climbed a two-legged creature Wrapped in a hide and carrying a sharpened bone He watched the land and its beauty This was going to be his home... |

4. | The Conspiracy of the Pagan Cult | 04:22 | Show lyrics |
Strenghtened bravemen hearts Ride with the pale moon Reach for the source of wisdom In the glare of the guiding star Visions of a pure land As fires haunt The chains are unbound The visions shall be true A throne is risen For the bravehearted northmen Sprung out of the source of wisdom With pure pagan blood Ages of the elders return Fallen upon the traitor’s hand The curs shall be slain Stain by the Hammer of pride |

5. | Hymn of the Darkwoods | 06:06 | Show lyrics |
Up from the North we come From the land of a thousand lakes A heathen force from the once proud Northland Where pines are covered with snowflakes Pagan warriors, hear our battlehymn Help our words soar high Thou shall be greeted with our mighty hail Our star is on rise! Break the chains of enslavement Time will come for the enslavers to pay One winter solstice we shall gather together And it will be their doomsday! Pagan warriors, hear our battlehymn Help our words soar high Thou shall be greeted with our mighty hail Our star is on rise! Our star is now dim But getting brighter It will replace the enslaver sun Hear us, brothers and sisters A new day is dawning Upon us heirs of the Northstar Pagan warriors, hear our battlehymn Help our words soar high Thou shall be greeted with our mighty hail Our star is on rise! |

6. | On the Top of the Falconhill | 04:57 | Show lyrics |
On the top of the Falconhill... I was standing surrounded by solitude Evening breeze as my only friend It was a beautiful dusk of November Darkness wrapping around the hills where paths end To my eyes reflected a distant fire A fire from far away A sign our enemy is approaching From the land beyond the bay Beyond the mist covered forest on the river I saw Three dozen ships with crosses on sails Soon everywhere burnt fires Mine among the others From the village a horde was marching Till death or fame! To my eyes reflected a distant fire A fire from far away A sign our enemy is approaching From the land beyond the bay By the time the sun was about to rise above the skyline The army of the cross and heathen hordes collided By the time the sun was lurking high behind a cloud Only the heathen swords were held against the sky They were slaughtered and vanished for now But they will return to spread their word and kill It was a god-against-god-battle I saw On the top of the Falconhill |

7. | King’s Gray Shadow | 05:36 | Show lyrics |
He wandered through landscapes painted Green by forests and blue by lakes All the way of leagues ten and five Until he arrived during the fall of twilight Gathered the villagers around him To hear the sad news he had to bring "Three dawns ago in the land towards sunrise Was thy king slain in a battle at night" A gray cloud shadowed the hearts of men And flowing tears wet women’s eyes Their king had gone to Tuonela Had his spirit among them died? Had it gone away with the flames That burned his warship - his grave The nightwinds had called his name The gods got another man brave Weeks after the funeral was seen a shadow gray Roaming in the woods of the eastern land Hiding in daytime then returning at night Haunting in the minds of the mortals who killed a king |

8. | I Burn at the Stake | 05:22 | Show lyrics |
I wake up in shivers of cold On a chilly sunny morning of May My eyes try to catch up with what is going on They only recall the nights which in dungeons I laid Chanting in a tongue unknown fills my ears Odour of incenses... warmth of torchfires Men wearing black hooded robes are closing me Golden crosses glow as they light my pyre "In the name of the holy trinity We purify thy soul with these flames And baptize you..." "Never! You can burn me, bastards But you can never take my faith I spit on your cross and curse you In the name of the spirits of my fathers!" "We cursed you servants of the foreign god Despisable betrayers of your people I will never ever accept your faith Rather I burn at the stake!" |

9. | Red Sky over the Land of Fells | 04:43 | Show lyrics |
In the midst of the dead earth up through the clouds they rise Feet sunk in moss heads covered in a veil of white Kings born and die but fells still watch up proud Like giants in their grandeur they stand and hold the sky Shadows grow tall covering the barren earth The earth that wears only lichen and moss The sun is setting and the sky dresses in red for the coming six fullmoons all light will be lost The daylight goes hiding into infinity The last shades of red turn slowly to gray ...and then to black On some nights will the northern lights appear And send their rays to reflect from the snow Colouring the lands of fells in all their shades When they disappear... only darkness remains |

1. | Without Ceremony and Bell Toll | 05:59 | Show lyrics |
Summer 1657 A tailor’s daughter in pain - bewitched A healer had told that the witch will be revealed Before sundown a woman known as evil appeard "That bitch must have done it. She must be the offspring of satan himself" Despite the accusitions she offered to help And poured a potion all over her All of a sudden she started to shake The birth of four frog-like creatures was seen "She threatened me that inside I would melt ’cos I didn’t give her butter" the poor girl yelled So the witch was bound in heavy chains. And taken to the court as a servant of hell "I met a mysterious black man. He kissed me and taught how to do harm" As interrogation and torture went on. Heard the good people of the court horrible things Thirteen years as servant of satan. A whore and a right hand to the dark prince Sabbaths, or devotions to the devil Were held on a small nearby hill At the peak of the torment She turned in a few who had been there "I met a mysterious black man. He kissed me and taught how to do harm" 343 days she spent in prison. While the court sentenced her to death A morning when the summer was at its warmest. She was taken out and beheaded with another witch Burned to ashes, spat on, despised Buried into a hole outside of the holy ground Shamefully she was laid to rest Without ceremony and bell toll |

2. | Inside the Circle of Stones | 06:38 | Show lyrics |
Along time ago was this stone circle built The reason behind it remains a mystery Why was it built at end of all paths? On a tiny glade where no one could find I wondered what was the purpose of this strange cult To quench the thirst of my curiosity I decided to step in The very moment I put my feet inside I lost my consciousness, my sense of reality It was another world I ended up in Somewhere far from ours I flew through a tunnel where voices Were calling my name enchantingly Flashes of nightmareous visions A man of god would say I was in hell Suddenly I found myself in a void Empty of matter empty of noise A while I didn’t know if I still was flying Until it began again It was as sudden when I got back to my reality Supposedly after rolling out of the circle in the dream I immediately knew that my knowledge wasn’t enough To research and possess this secret When I walked away I stopped on a little hill I saw it again, now also its shape...a five-pointed star |

3. | The Crow and Warrior | 04:21 | Show lyrics |
Once in the silence of the woods In the shadows of a crescent moon The eyes scan the beautiful nocturne The ears enjoy silent songs "i have seen things and heard talks Thy eyes are blind and ears deaf to Words carried in the nightly breeze Images in the autumnal grass" Once in the silence of the woods Under the spiral of oaken branches Breathing slowly, heart pounding weakly Shadows floating towards his eyes "I have heard thee come since the moon was full The owls knew what thou knew not Oh thee children, thee almighty creatures Ignorant are thee of thy width of knowledge Under question should thou place thy concepts Of Ubermensch and Untermensch For man has never, and will never even be positioned Hath the words of the crow Vanished with the echo into the night Descended dark shadows And covered the eyes No sorrow felt the old crow The secrets he revealed would remain as such |

4. | Dying to Meet You | 06:14 | Show lyrics |
In the eyes of the moon I see you The face that brought my soul joy In the reflections of the sun I feel you The cross that brought me hate and pain To the other side of the river my soul yearns I am dying to meet you again To the ruins of what once was a church my soul yearns I am dying to meet you face to face I remember the swwetness of the nights Only me and you and the starlit sky Now I have swallowed too many goblets Of the bitter wine of anger you made me to drink On that night rain fell not On that night winds blew not In the thick hot air One dozen...two dozen Torches appeared out of the chanting darkness Simple minds certain of their ways being the best I recall the last time I saw you Screaming for me on that torchlit hill And I sure will never forget you Not before my sword cuts off your crow |

5. | The Preacher Came to Town | 07:16 | Show lyrics |
[Part One: "THE PREACHER CAME TO TOWN"] A peaceful town down by the lake A cradle of goodness and righteousness it was said Quite prosperous one might add Rye fields, cattle, and the riches of the lake Fallacious was their dormancy of shelter Blindfolded had they themselves with the shadow of the cross This dormancy lasted until a dusk in August A preacher came, handsome enough to wet any lady He was greeted with warmth and friendliness Though a bit of jealousy showed on the looks of the men Nobody wondered why he spoke no words of god And his eyes were glued to women’s bodies Nobody simply paid any attention to it Especially the women enchanted by his attractiveness Until one day the paint on the church walls began to crumble The crop festered and the cattle began to die The wives disappeared just before midnight Only return before the first rays of sunrise It began to show at the end of the month The crop and the cattle dead, ground frozen, famine awaited Vanished was the atmosphere of honesty and good will People became wary of each other for anybody could have Evoked this curse upon them |

6. | Burn, Witches, Burn | 05:39 | Show lyrics |
[Part Two: "BURN, WITCHES, BURN"] "He must be the root of all this misery The ladies, whores, a Satan’s tool to send us to eternity Ring, brothers, ring the bells and bring the torches Let us tie them up to the stake - burn, witches, burn" Finally the men of the town could point the guilt to someone Of course it had to be the stranger Following their wives at night they had found the orgies Rituals to bring forth the powers of Hell "How could you our beloved wives Grant your bodies to be used to do evil On him we know no mercy, nor can we give you any Follow us to the hills - burn, witches, burn" First they surrounded the guest house where the preacher Was sleeping off the exertions of the night A cross-shaped pole they drove through his black heart Sending him to join his master in the pits of Hell The few women still considered faithful Were told to stay at home While the others were being marched to the hills These women gathered... The guilty women of the town were taken to the hills Where huge bonfires were standing Tied up to the stakes they were - naked to face the god In tears they cried: "We were possessed!" "In the name of the holy trinity Be purified by these flames We pray for your souls on your way to damnation For all the evil you have done - burn, witches, burn" |

7. | Witch Hunters | 05:31 | Show lyrics |
[Part Three: "WITCH HUNTERS"] Twenty years had passed, happiness fad come back Only the painful memories were acting as reminders There was a new phenomenon that made rumours spread Something was going on in the deep dark woods A cult curtained in secrecy...or evil spirits of the night? The nature of these mysterious creatures...and their origin were unknown A cult of witch hunters The offspring of the preacher and his whores In the jet-black night of Samhain The peace and happiness were broken The demonic hordes from the woods Stormed through the town setting it ablaze "We have come to avenge the death of our mothers Now you can also get a taste of the Inferno" The witch hunters marched into every house Impaling the burners and their kin The church was burned by their infernal hatred Womens raped by their infernal lust The men who judged the mothers to be burned Were treated like the mothers had been treated After the horrifying hours of torture They were tied and burned at the stake After the task was completed the earth started to shake The remains of the houses collapsed to the ground The jaws of Hell opened right where peace once prevailed Victorious had the witch-hunt been where the hunter became the hunted |

1. | Nightwish - Sacrament of Wilderness | 04:10 | Show lyrics |
Naked, in midwinter magic, lies an angel in the snow. The frozen figure crossed by tracks of wolves. An encounter symbolic, yet truthful, with a hungry choir of wolves. An agreement immemorial to be born. Dulcet elvenharps from a dryad forest. Accompany wall the charming tunes of a sacrament by a campfire. A promise between the tameless and the one with a tool. Tonight the journey from a cave begins. I want to hunt with the tameless heart. I want to learn the wisdom of mountains afar. We will honor the angel in the snow. We will make the streams for our children flow. Wrapped in furs beneath the northern lights. From my cave I watch the land untamed. And wonder if some becoming season will make the angel melt in shame. I want to hunt with the tameless heart. I want to learn the wisdom of mountains afar. I want to hunt with the tameless heart. I want to learn the wisdom of mountains afar. We will honor the angel in the snow. We will make the streams for our children flow. |

2. | Eternal Tears of Sorrow - Burning Flames’ Embrace | 04:07 | Show lyrics |
Walking towards the night... The flames once burnt inside Back then I was alive When the fire walked by my side The screaming fire burnt the leaves of mine And left the ashes of divine All the leaves contained my name The shadows took them and carried away Firewalk, I want to feel it again ... Dance on the flames, does it feel the same? Tears of blood, they burn my face ... I want to feel the burning flames’ embrace The cold night freezing up my sins The memories of ice burn my skin But I see the flames of gold dancing And the last one of the leaves is still burning Now all the ashes contain my name I’m one with the dark, I’ve lost the flame My unleashed thoughts flying To the distant land (of dreams)... And disappear in the sand Chorus Emptiness has filled my heart.. I see a blaze but it’s much too far I try to reach for it, it’s calling my name... I know it’s my fire with its warm embrace Like a frozen flower covered with ice My soul is cold and ready to die This holy secret turned to a sacred lie I followed it and lost my guide Chorus |

Quietly these colours will fade but soon they will be as one. For a moment I will stare into this deep saddened sea and will suffer the death’s fright. Under these waves emotions lay, still never they’ll return as they are laid to rest. Into this one lonely life, which, perhaps is growing. Painfully... into life to die... |

Dark red blood colours me A thick black cloud lies over Blood rains down from an angel’s cunt I drink the liquid of power Entering my black dreams A world without borders Where whores suck my flesh And where my evil thoughts unite To the north, I see an icy mirror Reflections so deep blue So I look straight into it And I see my own god Entering my black dreams The angel is crucified With cold silvery nails Raped with two goathorns The black and the unnamed It’s the dawn of the sixth of June Temples of christ burn bright I fly in the deepest blackness My inner hell my light Entering my dreams... |

Rape us the time You bring us this loving wave Crosses they rose On our once proud pagan land Those words they spoke were like Needles on my skin And their blessings were like knives Stabbed into my heart I trusted thee O heathen men of the north To hail and fight And to run them out Those words they listened were like Stabs into my back The baptism they had meant That I had lost homeland Cold winds now freeze my eyes ...Now I flee Out of this shame they caused I spread my wings To fly to a realm of my own My eyes are frozen for the icy tears My soul sheds For those betrayers that were not Strong enough in faith |

Sitting under a pine The deep silence... unbroken around One dark lake So placid, so cold... Descended night Throws shadows over water Brown leaves fly Autumn is turning into winter What happens around me? It has no meaning... I sleep in my woe This is not my world... For my world lies Beyond other’s reach Shadows dancing - my throne My dreams’ winterland I behold Through the gates of time unseen In a silent night Somewhere deep inside In the darkest woods In the darkest nights Lies my ancient realm Where are still places For me to find Shadows dancing - my throne My dreams’ winterland I behold Through the gates of time unseen In a silent night |

The far north Between the snowy falls We stand - we think The time that passed ...The times that are gone For they reminded us Of the times of glory... our pride When our swords could drink The blood of the weak Now they’re all gone... Proud men have flown to Valhalla Left behind are only memories That hail us now... We live under a shadow In depression and woe... There hasn’t been dignity For a thousand years... There won’t be... that’s too much to ask Come Fimbulvetr |

[Act I: The Death of Balder] Autumn came to an end And the first snow began to fall Balder’s face was clouded The dreams of warning had called His mother sought oaths From all this below the sky To not to hurt her son To not to let him die Balder stood there encircled by gods Thrown with stones, spears and hit With sword No damage they had caused, not a wound In jealousy Loki disguised to find Why there was no harm The mother told him that all the things On the earth Had sworn an oath not to harm nor Kill her son ’All? ’, he asked and then she told him That only one was too young to swear And mistletoe was the one So Loki went across the frosted land To an ancient tree where mistletoe grew He cut off a piece and Returned to the plain Where gods were still enjoying their game Loki saw Hodur the Blind sitting Outside the ring watching The god’s game Loki gave him the twig and offered To guide his hand Pleased Hodur stepped forth And threw the twig across the plain It hit Balder’s chest piercing His bright body and he fell Onto the ground in blood The laughter and the joy ceased When Balder’s blood spilled On the pure snow of Asg†rd [Act II: A Farewell to the Son of Odin] Balder was set into his ship And there he laid cold With his wife beside him On his breast were all his possessions Placed carefully As the ceremony began The sun sank low over the icy sea Two ravens circled In the clear blue sky Singing their sadness Thor raised his hammer And blessed the pyre Waves carried the ship far to the sea There it burnt bright high Against the darkening sky Odin stood... tears falling from his eyes [Act III: Hermod’s Ride to Hel] Through dark howling valleys Of wind swept desolation Hermod rode alone Towards the land of death Sleipnir’s hooves in fire Nine days, nine nights Hermod rode to Hel On the farthest shore of Gjoll he came The bridge keeper waited Modgud Her name He asked for the release of Balder His brother She recalled and showed him the path Into the dark Hermod arrived to the palace At the Hel’s table among the dead He found his brother sitting Hermod told Balder He had come to take him to Asg†rd That night they sat Chatting and recalling past times He went to Hel and begged her For Balder’s release Telling her that all mourned For his decease She promised, if all things weeped For him He’d be free to return Through the valleys so dim Hermod returned and told the gods What Hel had said So messengers were sent to All over the world And all the world wept For their Balder beloved Only one old woman refused: ’Let Hel keep what she had’ [Act IV: The Bounding of Loki] Soon the gods found That old woman was Loki Revenge they swore And begin to hunt him Loki spent days as a salmon in waters Or as himself in a house Once the gods found Loki hiding In a river When he jumped to escape Thor caught him into his fist The gods took him to a deep cavern With his sons One day changed into a wolf And the wolf devoured other son’s body The gods took his intestines And with them bound Loki to rocks Skadi hung a snake above Loki’s head Venom dripping into his mouth So great was the pain That when Loki writhed All th worlds shook and trembled... [Act V: The Final Battle] After Balder’s death The gods withdrew from the earth Evil spread and Fimbulvetr arrived Battles raged all over The wolves rose One devoured the sun One the moon Stars fell crushing onto the earth Fenris broke his chains Midgard heaved his body Drowned the land in waves Washed the battlefields bloody Giants marched Fenris approached Gjallarhorn’s alarm Echoed in the air The armies of dead marched Lead by Loki the avenger The battlefield of Vigrid Will soon bathe in blood Odin rushed With a spear in his hand Behind him came The heroes of Valhalla And the battle began God against giant And giant against god The brave armies clashed After a long battle Both giants and gods Laid on the ground Never to rise again... [Act IV: A New Heaven, A New Earth] All the earth burnt in flames In times the flames will die One man and one woman survived And they shall bleed a new race Vidar and vali will walk upon A new heaven They’ll live upon the Ida plain Where Asg†rd once was And re-build it to be Far greater than before Children of thor will bring Their father’s hammer And Balder will return bright Leading the gods in the new age ...The new age under the sign Of the hammer |

Rape us the time You bring us this loving wave Crosses they rose On our once proud pagan land Those words they spoke were like Needles on my skin And their blessings were like knives Stabbed into my heart I trusted thee O heathen men of the north To hail and fight And to run them out Those words they listened were like Stabs into my back The baptism they had meant That I had lost homeland Cold winds now freeze my eyes ...Now I flee Out of this shame they caused I spread my wings To fly to a realm of my own My eyes are frozen for the icy tears My soul sheds For those betrayers that were not Strong enough in faith |

1. | My Eyes Are Frozen | Show lyrics | |
Rape us the time You bring us this loving wave Crosses they rose On our once proud pagan land Those words they spoke were like Needles on my skin And their blessings were like knives Stabbed into my heart I trusted thee O heathen men of the north To hail and fight And to run them out Those words they listened were like Stabs into my back The baptism they had meant That I had lost homeland Cold winds now freeze my eyes ...Now I flee Out of this shame they caused I spread my wings To fly to a realm of my own My eyes are frozen for the icy tears My soul sheds For those betrayers that were not Strong enough in faith |

2. | One Son of the Northstar | Show lyrics | |
One endless cold star Here I stand... following Thy dark spirit... thy faint light A path across my dreams Take me far... into the unknown fly Over a desert... a snowfield ...and dancing woods I storm the nocturnal sky In the fiery chariots I ride... My dreams are like thy rays... I see them sink into the sands of time ...and fade... My spirit is like thine... Shows only its nightside Always strong and faithful ...and never fails... These snowy woods, this frozen land Here I stand... waiting For thee to come... to show thy face Over this land Once heathen... once proud In the icestorms Of the cold northern winter In the snowy hills and dark woods My heart is forged And that ice will never melt... |

3. | Uller | Show lyrics | |
Amongst the cold Northern mountains He travells... Wrapped in furs And armed with a bow He is the god of winter Hear me Uller! Ride by me In the battles... and cover me With thy mighty shield O god of winter Born of mother Sif The stepson of thor In the cold winter lies his realm To the vale of Ydalir His footsteps lead There he dwells The god of winter |

4. | From the Snowy Hillsides They Came | Show lyrics | |
Via the paths of the four winds Through the icy valleys and hills They came led by two ravens The messengers from the hall of the slain Warriors of a thousand battles Skalds of a thousand stories and tales Riding in a shadow Which will lie over the christian fame Hear the dark woods call Swear for the ancient names Odin, Thor, Valhalla Written into the heathen flames False beliefs fall Hearts of steel begin to pound again In my eyes I almost see Dragon ships setting sails Fathers, watch us ride Through the northern storms And freezing winds We are the horde That came from the snowy sides of hills Brothers up there we greet you just like you - we will never fail Sisters, wait for the call We will come when we hear the Odin’s hail... Via the paths of the four winds Through the icy valleys and hills they came led by two ravens The messengers from the hall Of the slain Warriors of a thousand battles Skalds of a thousand stories and tales Riding in a shadow Which will lie over the christian fame |

5. | In a Silent Night | Show lyrics | |
Sitting under a pine The deep silence... unbroken around One dark lake So placid, so cold... Descended night Throws shadows over water Brown leaves fly Autumn is turning into winter What happens around me? It has no meaning... I sleep in my woe This is not my world... For my world lies Beyond other’s reach Shadows dancing - my throne My dreams’ winterland I behold Through the gates of time unseen In a silent night Somewhere deep inside In the darkest woods In the darkest nights Lies my ancient realm Where are still places For me to find Shadows dancing - my throne My dreams’ winterland I behold Through the gates of time unseen In a silent night |

6. | Come Fimbulvetr | Show lyrics | |
The far north Between the snowy falls We stand - we think The time that passed ...The times that are gone For they reminded us Of the times of glory... our pride When our swords could drink The blood of the weak Now they’re all gone... Proud men have flown to Valhalla Left behind are only memories That hail us now... We live under a shadow In depression and woe... There hasn’t been dignity For a thousand years... There won’t be... that’s too much to ask Come Fimbulvetr |

7. | Yggdrasil’s Children Fall | Show lyrics | |
[Act I: The Death of Balder] Autumn came to an end And the first snow began to fall Balder’s face was clouded The dreams of warning had called His mother sought oaths From all this below the sky To not to hurt her son To not to let him die Balder stood there encircled by gods Thrown with stones, spears and hit With sword No damage they had caused, not a wound In jealousy Loki disguised to find Why there was no harm The mother told him that all the things On the earth Had sworn an oath not to harm nor Kill her son ’All? ’, he asked and then she told him That only one was too young to swear And mistletoe was the one So Loki went across the frosted land To an ancient tree where mistletoe grew He cut off a piece and Returned to the plain Where gods were still enjoying their game Loki saw Hodur the Blind sitting Outside the ring watching The god’s game Loki gave him the twig and offered To guide his hand Pleased Hodur stepped forth And threw the twig across the plain It hit Balder’s chest piercing His bright body and he fell Onto the ground in blood The laughter and the joy ceased When Balder’s blood spilled On the pure snow of Asg†rd [Act II: A Farewell to the Son of Odin] Balder was set into his ship And there he laid cold With his wife beside him On his breast were all his possessions Placed carefully As the ceremony began The sun sank low over the icy sea Two ravens circled In the clear blue sky Singing their sadness Thor raised his hammer And blessed the pyre Waves carried the ship far to the sea There it burnt bright high Against the darkening sky Odin stood... tears falling from his eyes [Act III: Hermod’s Ride to Hel] Through dark howling valleys Of wind swept desolation Hermod rode alone Towards the land of death Sleipnir’s hooves in fire Nine days, nine nights Hermod rode to Hel On the farthest shore of Gjoll he came The bridge keeper waited Modgud Her name He asked for the release of Balder His brother She recalled and showed him the path Into the dark Hermod arrived to the palace At the Hel’s table among the dead He found his brother sitting Hermod told Balder He had come to take him to Asg†rd That night they sat Chatting and recalling past times He went to Hel and begged her For Balder’s release Telling her that all mourned For his decease She promised, if all things weeped For him He’d be free to return Through the valleys so dim Hermod returned and told the gods What Hel had said So messengers were sent to All over the world And all the world wept For their Balder beloved Only one old woman refused: ’Let Hel keep what she had’ [Act IV: The Bounding of Loki] Soon the gods found That old woman was Loki Revenge they swore And begin to hunt him Loki spent days as a salmon in waters Or as himself in a house Once the gods found Loki hiding In a river When he jumped to escape Thor caught him into his fist The gods took him to a deep cavern With his sons One day changed into a wolf And the wolf devoured other son’s body The gods took his intestines And with them bound Loki to rocks Skadi hung a snake above Loki’s head Venom dripping into his mouth So great was the pain That when Loki writhed All th worlds shook and trembled... [Act V: The Final Battle] After Balder’s death The gods withdrew from the earth Evil spread and Fimbulvetr arrived Battles raged all over The wolves rose One devoured the sun One the moon Stars fell crushing onto the earth Fenris broke his chains Midgard heaved his body Drowned the land in waves Washed the battlefields bloody Giants marched Fenris approached Gjallarhorn’s alarm Echoed in the air The armies of dead marched Lead by Loki the avenger The battlefield of Vigrid Will soon bathe in blood Odin rushed With a spear in his hand Behind him came The heroes of Valhalla And the battle began God against giant And giant against god The brave armies clashed After a long battle Both giants and gods Laid on the ground Never to rise again... [Act IV: A New Heaven, A New Earth] All the earth burnt in flames In times the flames will die One man and one woman survived And they shall bleed a new race Vidar and vali will walk upon A new heaven They’ll live upon the Ida plain Where Asg†rd once was And re-build it to be Far greater than before Children of thor will bring Their father’s hammer And Balder will return bright Leading the gods in the new age ...The new age under the sign Of the hammer |

1. | Autumn Roars Thunder | 11:12 | Show lyrics |
Torchlight in utter darkness Starts licking wood with its deadly tongue In seconds its hunger grows Wood is eaten by flames twelve feet long Before the eyes of heathens The shrine of the cross lights up the glade On the ground lie six bodies That have met their fate by pagan blade Hear the autumn thunder in the sky Vanishing the mild summer breeze An autumn thunder roars down on the ground By its force the foreign god flees A flash of steel cuts flesh By doing so it cuts the cross The mossy ground drinks the blood Of a hundred men in white clothes The morning smells of death But still it feels like a fresh wind After so many years Where the forests returned to the pagan kings Hear the autumn thunder in the sky Vanishing the mild summer breeze An autumn thunder roars down on the ground By its force the foreign god flees Fullmoon turned to crescent and crescent to fullmoon Many times over the forests of Häme The old gods were respected And new houses rose on the ashes of the cross All was at peace When the summer began to turn to autumn But when the first leaves turned to yellow and brown People began to see signs... bad omens One day a hunter from the coast came And told he had heard rumours The ships of the foe had been seen in northwest And their numbers were great Morning mist chilly was floating up from the sea At a dawn when leaves were falling down from trees Gathered were the pagan kings to the circle of stones Out of silence rose a man known as wise and old "We’ve all seen the fires And heard the tale of the hunter Hear my words when I say This autumn roars thunder" Passed dusks and dawns two times ten Fires burning were not on their hills Again was blood flowing, now of heathen men The foe had returned to burn and kill Village by village they went Leaving only crosses and ashes behind Until pagans were beaten By their body, not their mind Poured water on their heads Mumbling words of a foreign tongue Built houses for their god Was the pride of these forests forever gone? Hear the autumn thunder fade away With its echo they lost their pride Freedom of centuries was lost in days The autumn thunder in their hearts had died |

2. | Nightowl | 05:35 | Show lyrics |
Two eyes in darkness like two burning fires Still cold as a wintery lake The moon is hidden behind dark clouds Fluttering wings... the silence breaks I was walking on the edge of the forest When the eyes began to approach A while I just stood there watching The eyes coming close The owl she came onto my arm Her eyes starring deep into me Soon a shroud covered my eyes I could hear but I couldn’t see "The time is close, o men of Karelia Men of pride, the time is near Soon thou will see a new god coming When snow falls he will be here Centuries to come will see his dominion His dominion that makes thee slaves Have not fear, it won’t last forever The new dawn will hail thy father’ gods again" At the very moment the last word was gone Returned my sight I saw no owl only heard a silent flutter From Tapio’s realm, from the fading night As I walked away I thought: "It can’t be true that a northern man Would lose his honour and be a slave Of a god from an unknown land......." |

3. | When Ancient Spirits Battled | 04:36 | Show lyrics |
The battle of the giants was raging The Earth tried to free from the Ice Who had taken her to his deadly embrace And shunned her from all light The Sun rose and set a million times In the southern horizon Before he felt pity for the Earth Decided to save his beloved one The warm rays of the Sun laid upon the Earth Ice began to melt - waters flow So withdrew the Ice northwards to a land Where aurora borealis glow In time were water dried Still was the Earth desolate No life, no growth but one tree Suffering of Ice’s winds’ hate Of the seeds of this lonely tree Grew a forest and another and another The landscape changed to blue and green Lakes and forests became brothers Although winters were cold The land survived and filled with life Wolves and bears wandered in woods Not threatened by spear or knife At a dawn on a hillside climbed a two-legged creature Wrapped in a hide and carrying a sharpened bone He watched the land and its beauty This was going to be his home... |

4. | The Conspiracy of the Pagan Cult | 04:22 | Show lyrics |

5. | Hymn of the Darkwoods | 06:06 | Show lyrics |
Up from the North we come From the land of a thousand lakes A heathen force from the once proud Northland Where pines are covered with snowflakes Pagan warriors, hear our battlehymn Help our words soar high Thou shall be greeted with our mighty hail Our star is on rise! Break the chains of enslavement Time will come for the enslavers to pay One winter solstice we shall gather together And it will be their doomsday! Pagan warriors, hear our battlehymn Help our words soar high Thou shall be greeted with our mighty hail Our star is on rise! Our star is now dim But getting brighter It will replace the enslaver sun Hear us, brothers and sisters A new day is dawning Upon us heirs of the Northstar Pagan warriors, hear our battlehymn Help our words soar high Thou shall be greeted with our mighty hail Our star is on rise! |

6. | On the Top of the Falconhill | 04:57 | Show lyrics |
On the top of the Falconhill... I was standing surrounded by solitude Evening breeze as my only friend It was a beautiful dusk of November Darkness wrapping around the hills where paths end To my eyes reflected a distant fire A fire from far away A sign our enemy is approaching From the land beyond the bay Beyond the mist covered forest on the river I saw Three dozen ships with crosses on sails Soon everywhere burnt fires Mine among the others From the village a horde was marching Till death or fame! To my eyes reflected a distant fire A fire from far away A sign our enemy is approaching From the land beyond the bay By the time the sun was about to rise above the skyline The army of the cross and heathen hordes collided By the time the sun was lurking high behind a cloud Only the heathen swords were held against the sky They were slaughtered and vanished for now But they will return to spread their word and kill It was a god-against-god-battle I saw On the top of the Falconhill |

7. | King’s Gray Shadow | 05:36 | Show lyrics |
He wandered through landscapes painted Green by forests and blue by lakes All the way of leagues ten and five Until he arrived during the fall of twilight Gathered the villagers around him To hear the sad news he had to bring "Three dawns ago in the land towards sunrise Was thy king slain in a battle at night" A gray cloud shadowed the hearts of men And flowing tears wet women’s eyes Their king had gone to Tuonela Had his spirit among them died? Had it gone away with the flames That burned his warship - his grave The nightwinds had called his name The gods got another man brave Weeks after the funeral was seen a shadow gray Roaming in the woods of the eastern land Hiding in daytime then returning at night Haunting in the minds of the mortals who killed a king |

8. | I Burn at the Stake | 05:22 | Show lyrics |
I wake up in shivers of cold On a chilly sunny morning of May My eyes try to catch up with what is going on They only recall the nights which in dungeons I laid Chanting in a tongue unknown fills my ears Odour of incenses... warmth of torchfires Men wearing black hooded robes are closing me Golden crosses glow as they light my pyre "In the name of the holy trinity We purify thy soul with these flames And baptize you..." "Never! You can burn me, bastards But you can never take my faith I spit on your cross and curse you In the name of the spirits of my fathers!" "We cursed you servants of the foreign god Despisable betrayers of your people I will never ever accept your faith Rather I burn at the stake!" |

9. | Red Sky over the Land of Fells | 04:43 | Show lyrics |
In the midst of the dead earth up through the clouds they rise Feet sunk in moss heads covered in a veil of white Kings born and die but fells still watch up proud Like giants in their grandeur they stand and hold the sky Shadows grow tall covering the barren earth The earth that wears only lichen and moss The sun is setting and the sky dresses in red for the coming six fullmoons all light will be lost The daylight goes hiding into infinity The last shades of red turn slowly to gray ...and then to black On some nights will the northern lights appear And send their rays to reflect from the snow Colouring the lands of fells in all their shades When they disappear... only darkness remains |

To my eyes reflected a distant fire A fire from far away A sign our enemy is approaching From the land beyond the bay By the time the sun was about to rise above the skyline The army of the cross and heathen hordes collided By the time the sun was lurking high behind a cloud Only the heathen swords were held against the sky They were slaughtered and vanished for now But they will return to spread their word and kill It was a god-against-god-battle I saw On the top of the Falconhill |

7. | King’s Gray Shadow | 05:36 | Show lyrics |
He wandered through landscapes painted Green by forests and blue by lakes All the way of leagues ten and five Until he arrived during the fall of twilight Gathered the villagers around him To hear the sad news he had to bring "Three dawns ago in the land towards sunrise Was thy king slain in a battle at night" A gray cloud shadowed the hearts of men And flowing tears wet women’s eyes Their king had gone to Tuonela Had his spirit among them died? Had it gone away with the flames That burned his warship - his grave The nightwinds had called his name The gods got another man brave Weeks after the funeral was seen a shadow gray Roaming in the woods of the eastern land Hiding in daytime then returning at night Haunting in the minds of the mortals who killed a king |

8. | I Burn at the Stake | 05:22 | Show lyrics |
I wake up in shivers of cold On a chilly sunny morning of May My eyes try to catch up with what is going on They only recall the nights which in dungeons I laid Chanting in a tongue unknown fills my ears Odour of incenses... warmth of torchfires Men wearing black hooded robes are closing me Golden crosses glow as they light my pyre "In the name of the holy trinity We purify thy soul with these flames And baptize you..." "Never! You can burn me, bastards But you can never take my faith I spit on your cross and curse you In the name of the spirits of my fathers!" "We cursed you servants of the foreign god Despisable betrayers of your people I will never ever accept your faith Rather I burn at the stake!" |

9. | Red Sky over the Land of Fells | 04:43 | Show lyrics |
In the midst of the dead earth up through the clouds they rise Feet sunk in moss heads covered in a veil of white Kings born and die but fells still watch up proud Like giants in their grandeur they stand and hold the sky Shadows grow tall covering the barren earth The earth that wears only lichen and moss The sun is setting and the sky dresses in red for the coming six fullmoons all light will be lost The daylight goes hiding into infinity The last shades of red turn slowly to gray ...and then to black On some nights will the northern lights appear And send their rays to reflect from the snow Colouring the lands of fells in all their shades When they disappear... only darkness remains |

1. | Autumn Roars Thunder | 11:12 | Show lyrics |
Torchlight in utter darkness Starts licking wood with its deadly tongue In seconds its hunger grows Wood is eaten by flames twelve feet long Before the eyes of heathens The shrine of the cross lights up the glade On the ground lie six bodies That have met their fate by pagan blade Hear the autumn thunder in the sky Vanishing the mild summer breeze An autumn thunder roars down on the ground By its force the foreign god flees A flash of steel cuts flesh By doing so it cuts the cross The mossy ground drinks the blood Of a hundred men in white clothes The morning smells of death But still it feels like a fresh wind After so many years Where the forests returned to the pagan kings Hear the autumn thunder in the sky Vanishing the mild summer breeze An autumn thunder roars down on the ground By its force the foreign god flees Fullmoon turned to crescent and crescent to fullmoon Many times over the forests of Häme The old gods were respected And new houses rose on the ashes of the cross All was at peace When the summer began to turn to autumn But when the first leaves turned to yellow and brown People began to see signs... bad omens One day a hunter from the coast came And told he had heard rumours The ships of the foe had been seen in northwest And their numbers were great Morning mist chilly was floating up from the sea At a dawn when leaves were falling down from trees Gathered were the pagan kings to the circle of stones Out of silence rose a man known as wise and old "We’ve all seen the fires And heard the tale of the hunter Hear my words when I say This autumn roars thunder" Passed dusks and dawns two times ten Fires burning were not on their hills Again was blood flowing, now of heathen men The foe had returned to burn and kill Village by village they went Leaving only crosses and ashes behind Until pagans were beaten By their body, not their mind Poured water on their heads Mumbling words of a foreign tongue Built houses for their god Was the pride of these forests forever gone? Hear the autumn thunder fade away With its echo they lost their pride Freedom of centuries was lost in days The autumn thunder in their hearts had died |

2. | Nightowl | 05:35 | Show lyrics |
Two eyes in darkness like two burning fires Still cold as a wintery lake The moon is hidden behind dark clouds Fluttering wings... the silence breaks I was walking on the edge of the forest When the eyes began to approach A while I just stood there watching The eyes coming close The owl she came onto my arm Her eyes starring deep into me Soon a shroud covered my eyes I could hear but I couldn’t see "The time is close, o men of Karelia Men of pride, the time is near Soon thou will see a new god coming When snow falls he will be here Centuries to come will see his dominion His dominion that makes thee slaves Have not fear, it won’t last forever The new dawn will hail thy father’ gods again" At the very moment the last word was gone Returned my sight I saw no owl only heard a silent flutter From Tapio’s realm, from the fading night As I walked away I thought: "It can’t be true that a northern man Would lose his honour and be a slave Of a god from an unknown land......." |

3. | When Ancient Spirits Battled | 04:36 | Show lyrics |
The battle of the giants was raging The Earth tried to free from the Ice Who had taken her to his deadly embrace And shunned her from all light The Sun rose and set a million times In the southern horizon Before he felt pity for the Earth Decided to save his beloved one The warm rays of the Sun laid upon the Earth Ice began to melt - waters flow So withdrew the Ice northwards to a land Where aurora borealis glow In time were water dried Still was the Earth desolate No life, no growth but one tree Suffering of Ice’s winds’ hate Of the seeds of this lonely tree Grew a forest and another and another The landscape changed to blue and green Lakes and forests became brothers Although winters were cold The land survived and filled with life Wolves and bears wandered in woods Not threatened by spear or knife At a dawn on a hillside climbed a two-legged creature Wrapped in a hide and carrying a sharpened bone He watched the land and its beauty This was going to be his home... |

4. | The Conspiracy of the Pagan Cult | 04:22 | Show lyrics |
Strenghtened bravemen hearts Ride with the pale moon Reach for the source of wisdom In the glare of the guiding star Visions of a pure land As fires haunt The chains are unbound The visions shall be true A throne is risen For the bravehearted northmen Sprung out of the source of wisdom With pure pagan blood Ages of the elders return Fallen upon the traitor’s hand The curs shall be slain Stain by the Hammer of pride |

5. | Hymn of the Darkwoods | 06:06 | Show lyrics |
Up from the North we come From the land of a thousand lakes A heathen force from the once proud Northland Where pines are covered with snowflakes Pagan warriors, hear our battlehymn Help our words soar high Thou shall be greeted with our mighty hail Our star is on rise! Break the chains of enslavement Time will come for the enslavers to pay One winter solstice we shall gather together And it will be their doomsday! Pagan warriors, hear our battlehymn Help our words soar high Thou shall be greeted with our mighty hail Our star is on rise! Our star is now dim But getting brighter It will replace the enslaver sun Hear us, brothers and sisters A new day is dawning Upon us heirs of the Northstar Pagan warriors, hear our battlehymn Help our words soar high Thou shall be greeted with our mighty hail Our star is on rise! |

1. | Without Ceremony and Bell Toll | 05:59 | Show lyrics |
Summer 1657 A tailor’s daughter in pain - bewitched A healer had told that the witch will be revealed Before sundown a woman known as evil appeard "That bitch must have done it. She must be the offspring of satan himself" Despite the accusitions she offered to help And poured a potion all over her All of a sudden she started to shake The birth of four frog-like creatures was seen "She threatened me that inside I would melt ’cos I didn’t give her butter" the poor girl yelled So the witch was bound in heavy chains. And taken to the court as a servant of hell "I met a mysterious black man. He kissed me and taught how to do harm" As interrogation and torture went on. Heard the good people of the court horrible things Thirteen years as servant of satan. A whore and a right hand to the dark prince Sabbaths, or devotions to the devil Were held on a small nearby hill At the peak of the torment She turned in a few who had been there "I met a mysterious black man. He kissed me and taught how to do harm" 343 days she spent in prison. While the court sentenced her to death A morning when the summer was at its warmest. She was taken out and beheaded with another witch Burned to ashes, spat on, despised Buried into a hole outside of the holy ground Shamefully she was laid to rest Without ceremony and bell toll |

2. | Inside the Circle of Stones | 06:38 | Show lyrics |
Along time ago was this stone circle built The reason behind it remains a mystery Why was it built at end of all paths? On a tiny glade where no one could find I wondered what was the purpose of this strange cult To quench the thirst of my curiosity I decided to step in The very moment I put my feet inside I lost my consciousness, my sense of reality It was another world I ended up in Somewhere far from ours I flew through a tunnel where voices Were calling my name enchantingly Flashes of nightmareous visions A man of god would say I was in hell Suddenly I found myself in a void Empty of matter empty of noise A while I didn’t know if I still was flying Until it began again It was as sudden when I got back to my reality Supposedly after rolling out of the circle in the dream I immediately knew that my knowledge wasn’t enough To research and possess this secret When I walked away I stopped on a little hill I saw it again, now also its shape...a five-pointed star |

3. | The Crow and Warrior | 04:21 | Show lyrics |
Once in the silence of the woods In the shadows of a crescent moon The eyes scan the beautiful nocturne The ears enjoy silent songs "i have seen things and heard talks Thy eyes are blind and ears deaf to Words carried in the nightly breeze Images in the autumnal grass" Once in the silence of the woods Under the spiral of oaken branches Breathing slowly, heart pounding weakly Shadows floating towards his eyes "I have heard thee come since the moon was full The owls knew what thou knew not Oh thee children, thee almighty creatures Ignorant are thee of thy width of knowledge Under question should thou place thy concepts Of Ubermensch and Untermensch For man has never, and will never even be positioned Hath the words of the crow Vanished with the echo into the night Descended dark shadows And covered the eyes No sorrow felt the old crow The secrets he revealed would remain as such |

In the eyes of the moon I see you The face that brought my soul joy In the reflections of the sun I feel you The cross that brought me hate and pain To the other side of the river my soul yearns I am dying to meet you again To the ruins of what once was a church my soul yearns I am dying to meet you face to face I remember the swwetness of the nights Only me and you and the starlit sky Now I have swallowed too many goblets Of the bitter wine of anger you made me to drink On that night rain fell not On that night winds blew not In the thick hot air One dozen...two dozen Torches appeared out of the chanting darkness Simple minds certain of their ways being the best I recall the last time I saw you Screaming for me on that torchlit hill And I sure will never forget you Not before my sword cuts off your crow |

5. | The Preacher Came to Town | 07:16 | Show lyrics |
[Part One: "THE PREACHER CAME TO TOWN"] A peaceful town down by the lake A cradle of goodness and righteousness it was said Quite prosperous one might add Rye fields, cattle, and the riches of the lake Fallacious was their dormancy of shelter Blindfolded had they themselves with the shadow of the cross This dormancy lasted until a dusk in August A preacher came, handsome enough to wet any lady He was greeted with warmth and friendliness Though a bit of jealousy showed on the looks of the men Nobody wondered why he spoke no words of god And his eyes were glued to women’s bodies Nobody simply paid any attention to it Especially the women enchanted by his attractiveness Until one day the paint on the church walls began to crumble The crop festered and the cattle began to die The wives disappeared just before midnight Only return before the first rays of sunrise It began to show at the end of the month The crop and the cattle dead, ground frozen, famine awaited Vanished was the atmosphere of honesty and good will People became wary of each other for anybody could have Evoked this curse upon them |

6. | Burn, Witches, Burn | 05:39 | Show lyrics |
[Part Two: "BURN, WITCHES, BURN"] "He must be the root of all this misery The ladies, whores, a Satan’s tool to send us to eternity Ring, brothers, ring the bells and bring the torches Let us tie them up to the stake - burn, witches, burn" Finally the men of the town could point the guilt to someone Of course it had to be the stranger Following their wives at night they had found the orgies Rituals to bring forth the powers of Hell "How could you our beloved wives Grant your bodies to be used to do evil On him we know no mercy, nor can we give you any Follow us to the hills - burn, witches, burn" First they surrounded the guest house where the preacher Was sleeping off the exertions of the night A cross-shaped pole they drove through his black heart Sending him to join his master in the pits of Hell The few women still considered faithful Were told to stay at home While the others were being marched to the hills These women gathered... The guilty women of the town were taken to the hills Where huge bonfires were standing Tied up to the stakes they were - naked to face the god In tears they cried: "We were possessed!" "In the name of the holy trinity Be purified by these flames We pray for your souls on your way to damnation For all the evil you have done - burn, witches, burn" |

7. | Witch Hunters | 05:31 | Show lyrics |
[Part Three: "WITCH HUNTERS"] Twenty years had passed, happiness fad come back Only the painful memories were acting as reminders There was a new phenomenon that made rumours spread Something was going on in the deep dark woods A cult curtained in secrecy...or evil spirits of the night? The nature of these mysterious creatures...and their origin were unknown A cult of witch hunters The offspring of the preacher and his whores In the jet-black night of Samhain The peace and happiness were broken The demonic hordes from the woods Stormed through the town setting it ablaze "We have come to avenge the death of our mothers Now you can also get a taste of the Inferno" The witch hunters marched into every house Impaling the burners and their kin The church was burned by their infernal hatred Womens raped by their infernal lust The men who judged the mothers to be burned Were treated like the mothers had been treated After the horrifying hours of torture They were tied and burned at the stake After the task was completed the earth started to shake The remains of the houses collapsed to the ground The jaws of Hell opened right where peace once prevailed Victorious had the witch-hunt been where the hunter became the hunted |
