2. | Highland Victory | 09:15 | Show lyrics |
Black Duncan recovered himself for a moment Then he took his Lochaber-axe He swayed his arm in the air Dashed forward, and with a last fierce blow He split in two the thick skull of Rannoch. The fight had ended The storm took full possession of the inn again The slain Rannoch was dragged away The Duncan taken care of And the game continued. Few days later Black Duncan rode forth again The fierce gale had passed over As always, there was still a fresh Nordic wind But the skies were clear and blue with only a few white clouds There was still a long way to go. |

Hear the reap of Armageddon, see the fire scorch the sky Watch the sorcerer awaken, millennium of evil dreams Altars red of evil rites, faithful feel their glory near Possessed warriors go berserk, blood reddens the moon Ancient lords return to earth, now evil finally prevails Mortals run but cannot hide, pray to god to no avail Total destruction delights demons, satisfies the Antichrist Witches sing, evil chorus, mankind surely is now . . . . . . DOOMED TO DIE, christ did lie . . . DOOMED TO DIE, the heavens cry Hear the bells of evil chime, undead legions march from Hell Heed the call of hate & war, feel the winds of mayhem blow Blasphemy & victory, the Master hath returned Take His hand with no fear now, enter his eternal realm Sound the charge, into battle, fiery chariots ride the sky Holding high the banner black, hailed by strong ones & the wise Side by side into the war, at last the prophecy fulfilled Witches sing, evil chorus, the universe forever now . . . . . . DOOMED TO DIE, god did lie . . . DOOMED TO DIE, the angels cry |

5. | Crossing the Fires of Darkness | 04:49 | Show lyrics |
Seven blazing gates to cross Before I reach my goal Seven purifying porches For my parting soul After life my soul takes flight Into the eternal night Heading down the blazing lane To Satan’s promising domain Seven blazing gates...... Crossing the fires of darkness Raise the excluding spell Passing the thresholds of timeless Leaping right into Hell Treelike flames surround my spirit On its way so darkly lit A road untrodden, all floating round. Underneath no solid ground Seven blazing gates...... Crossing the fires...... Soon I will behold the highest Lowest prince in all His might I will join His ranks infernal And worship Him in this inferno |

6. | Under the Sign of the Celtic Cross | 05:26 | Show lyrics |
The druid slept under the oak A lone raven whispered evil words Called to Lugh lord of battle Followed the spear to hail & kill Hordes of Gog & Magog in the sky Under the sign into war we marched Filled the forests with blood of priests Defended our race with honour & pride Slaughtering disciples of holy lies Pain we never felt only hate Protecting our secret country in fury But too many liars came to our lands Facing defeat with unbowed heads For centuries the light of day they ruled But in the dark night Celtic rites prevailed Now the druid has awakened Lost sword found the raven flies again Sons of coldness & woods return Our ancestors will be avenged at last Again we march under the sign Once more soil will mix with blood Deny the preachers of love & peace Join the proud legions to hail & kill Days of darkness & evil await us In storms and rain we fight again Showing no mercy to cowards and traitors Out of chaos new order to arise Pure tribes will ride into glory again The millennium of light soon to fall The Celtic rites will now prevail forever |

2. | Aleidis | 03:09 | Show lyrics |
I came to the old house in the dark night I felt only a dark sensation, but no fright The strange old man’s words ran through my mind In this unholy place, what would I find? I entered the mansion, thinking I was alone I saw a strange, ancient gravestone Suddenly a woman’s voice whispered my name Or was the old man playing a silly game? Aleidis came to me unimaginably beautiful Dressed in white, while the moon was full Suddenly I felt overcome by an unholy desire But was she just young or an ages old vampire? Maybe she was just a portrait, or a figment of my sick mind But whatever the truth, she was the best wife I’d ever find I loved her in a way I had never even known But would the blood my love needed soon be my own? She used to kill animals and suck their blood She belonged to Satan, her soul lost by God One day at last, she made my neck her unholy teeth feel Now we are joined for eternity, but is this all real? |

3. | Fire & Blood | 04:17 | Show lyrics |
Mountains engulfed by darkness Campfires blazing in the night Ten thousand warriors gathered The fires their only light Now let the sacrificial blood flow To appease the war gods A great battle is at hand We must fight against the odds The enemy awaits us Ahead lies victory or death Steel cuts through flesh Breathe your last breath Blood flows everywhere The woods are turning red Spears fly and hammers clash My sword severs your head Force of life and omen of death Blood colours my sword red We find glory on this battlefield Where so many fought and bled Once every man must die If not by the spear by old age Worthy are only honour and pride So on the battlefield I rage |

Blasting through the blackened sky Knowing not but knowing still Lost all sense of place and time Yet filled with an evil thrill Awakening in the black cathedral Departing the dimensional gates No need for any explanation Knowing the task that awaits Full moon shines in utter darkness The hour of midnight drawing near Tonight 13 the bells will chime Tonight the holy tremble in fear Behold the 7 innocent maidens Behold the 7 velvet altars Behold the 7 southern crosses Behold . . . Behold the 7 evil priests Behold the 7 silver chalices Behold the 7 silver daggers Behold . . . Sacrifices have been made, thunder and lightning appear Rejoice in hideous blasphemy, know that the time is near The chosen hail the Master well, lusting for hate and scorn Crying out in evil ecstasy, "the Antichrist is born!" |

Straying through the dark forest The night so black, the mist so cold A lonely path to destiny Feel evil’s desperate hold Feel the presence of the wolf As the hunter roams the silent woods A fire burns, close yet so far away Men they dance in robes and hoods And the wolf cries . . . evil The wolf cries evil A thick blanket of fog covers all Feel the darkness all around Breathe the evil, be the darkness Forever and ever and ever Hellbound Become one with all darkness and evil Join the pack, howl in the night Hail the Master for all eternity No more fear, no more fright And the wolf cries . . . evil The wolf cries evil |

8. | Deisidaimonia | 04:59 | Show lyrics |
Tread the Path of Destiny Walk under the Sign Guided by the light of Set Will the moon ever shine? Eternal desert lies ahead The smile of Azazel Whisper an ancient incantation Cast an unholy spell Descend into the darkest chamber Celebrations of sin Worship of Evil so much older Than Prometheus’ kin Weird reality surrounds the chosen Deep in Midgard’s womb Taste the smell of absurdity In this infernal tomb Manifestation on the altar Pray to eternal truth Sacrifice through fear and lust Virgin flesh so smooth Awake in forest of nowhere Symphony through the haze Innocent blood drowning your soul The skyline is ablaze |

3. | The Wrath of Satan’s Whore | 08:28 | Show lyrics |
Into the noblest blood the Master’s seed was sown Married to gain Hungary’s throne Evil’s incarnation, supreme in her day Her deeds beyond words to her people’s dismay More than six times a hundred maidens fair Lured into the countess’ castle unaware Dark lady of Hungary obsessed by blood The virgins trapped in Hell cries in vain to god Shed your blood oh virgins pure To feed the wrath of Satan’s whore You’ve been chosen to let your blood To make the mistress live for evermore Gallons of blood she took for vampiric abuse And for years nobody dared to accuse But too many virgins vanished on her road to despair Butchered by cruel servants in the countess’ lair Parents wailing while their daughters disappear Her people for ages dwelt in terror and fear Until at last she was caught and tried Convicted and lacking her bloody diet she died Cut off the source of virgins pure Who fed the wrath of Satan’s whore Yet deep within her castle’s endless halls Linger still Erzsébet’s desperate calls |

4. | Thus Spoke the Master | 04:08 | Show lyrics |
When nothing was all I was already in the void I was, am and shall be When you have long been destroyed My names are feared by the weak But the strong always worship me I am darkness and bring you light I am slavery and set you free I inspire the chosen elite Of your miserable human race Who achieve works of greatness Who dare look into my face Many of you deny me blindly Because you don’t dare pray to me I am death and therefore life Without me you wouldn’t be I am the pain in the heart of him Whose name I cannot speak I am the terror of the pious The vilest horrors of the meek I am eternal hatred I am fire and I am ice I have thousands of names I only laugh at your puny cries I expose the white-light hypocrisy But knowledge has a price You are man, you are nothing Worship me or perish in lies |

5. | Blood on My Lips (The Silent Rose of Sin) | 06:11 | Show lyrics |
She was so beautiful Her memory still haunts me She was so innocent I will never again be free I still see her lovely face I still see the gentle curve of her hips I still feel the touch of her soft, milk-white skin Every time again when there’s blood on my lips Dusk has arrived yet another time I awake and leave my coffin In the dark I hear an old bell chime Sip from a chalice drained from a virgin Countless centuries ago I burnt the rose But it has forever stayed with me Symbol of happiness to which I came so close Alas, I know I never ever will be free Was it a gift of pure love, or only a whim? It was a present of a treacherous kind Transformed into a token of sin Nevermore to fade from my tortured mind The rose still fills the castle’s dark wing Fear, respect and wealth have been my toll But its vague images still are disturbing Is some spark of light still hidden in my soul? I have served Him very long and very well But once there must have been another path Since then I’ve gone too far on the road to Hell To be able to stray from the way of wrath Even if I could I would still not betray Though thus I will never enjoy peace of mind But I know I am destined to go this way And on the opposite path only lies I’d find But still the rose keeps haunting me I am sure it’ll never ever go away I must carry its burden for all eternity Most horrible when asleep during the day |

6. | Sheltered Under the Claw | 05:29 | Show lyrics |
Once again the hour draws nigh The night of the chosen has come Our hopes and expectations burn high Will we succeed this time? The return of our beloved Master Is what we desire so much To lead us His children in most unholy reign And the weakling shalt be trembled in the dust Sheltered under the claw We’re gathered to summon our lord In evil praise we sin For the return of the Horned Our efforts are answered at last The ground opens to spew forth Surrounded by sulphuric flames From the abyss He doth rise Now His evil reign unfolds As foretold by visions ages old Upon His children His spell He doth cast Forever in indulgence we shalt live Sheltered under the claw We bathe in the presence of our lord In evil praise we sing The gospel of the Horned |

7. | Ere a Bitter End | 08:57 | Show lyrics |
Created by an insane god For only the purpose of worship He was the first to develop mind And in his heart grew rebellion He loathed his kin as they do as they’re told His own sacrifice is half-hearted And so his offerings were rejected by God In favour of his feebler brother Anger burned hot and strong was his fist He killed with one single effort His own flesh now cold he left to the beasts So came murder upon mankind "Cain, where is thine brother?" Asked by God he was So he did lie to him And did commit another sin Marked for eternity he was The sign of Cain branded on his forehead Cast out into the void he was His shining blue eyes became the murderer’s sign Banished forever to roam the earth Immortality was granted to him To give time to think about his sins As wives he took his sisters sinfully So his seed is still upon mankind For killing in rage He is punished to live Cast out by his kin He leads a life of sin A wolf among sheep he is Among us he’s still though his vision has changed A life is but a flicker of a candle For one like him the joys of life turn dim As aeons repeat over and over The terror of seeing loved ones age and die Is familiar to him, he already lives in Hell But stubbornly he fights to forever stay alive Denying the torments of God’s verdict So he’s stalking the ages Forever he’ll be there Threatening fate With blood smeared fist A lifestyle dictated by his nature |

Those who follow the ’celestial light’ Enslave their souls to illusions Self-denial fed by holy fright Righteous compulsion where Yahweh reigns False prophets preach ancient fears Will thy soul be free from chains? (chorus) On the wings of Azazel Those who fear shall perish Across dimensional boundaries Into the dark reality Those who embrace the ’mournful gloom’ Dare to see beyond false prophecies In Lilith’s night shine shrines of doom Walk in the shadow of the Goat Enter the fire of Moloch’s empire Join the chosen, swear the oath (chorus) |

3. | Forgotten | 08:44 | Show lyrics |
My grave feels cold But the flame of hate Still burns inside I cannot pass the Gate Trapped in this void The gods set me free To avenge the forgotten To avenge them and me Invincible sword by Hephæstus forged placed in my hands On the eight-legged steed of Woden himself I will roam the lands Return from the depths to fight the world, I will spare none Those who denied me, lied and deceived soon will be gone (chorus) I was forgotten Now feel my wrath Blood of my enemies Drenches my path Pools of blood will shower from my blade, steel doth prevail Slay their servants take their daughters and wives, like a fierce gale Cowards and traitors meet their just fate, fall by my sword My holy quest leaves me to rule, undead overlord (chorus) I’ll wipe out the traces left in my world by the crucified fool I’ll light again torches of old when the moon’s full Shrines of my forefathers long since forgotten I will restore I’ll lead my people back again to the ancient lore (chorus) |

I burn his image and mock his words I tread on his cross and spit in his face I insult his father and slay his believers I worship his adversary and loathe his love ’cos I live my life in hate of Christ And I will die in hate of Christ And I will burn in hate of Christ In hate of Christ I curse his gospels and laugh at his pain I burn his churches and piss on his saints I torture his followers and deny his birth I break his commandments and indulge in sin ’cos I live my life in hate of Christ And I will die in hate of Christ And I will burn in hate of Christ In hate of Christ |

Welcome to my lair, darling I hope you do enjoy the view You will stay for a while, won’t you? How about eternity, for a start?

6. | Creation | 02:24 | Show lyrics |
Ere dawn of man His power great Wrought armour strong and grievous hate To welcome mortal life on earth When last the dust of time giveth birth To His ill-will to bend their ways To shape their doom! To lead astray the children fair Formed by Creator’s hands For in the North ’neath hills of stone In caverns black was made a throne By fires illuminated underground That winds of ice with moaning sound Made flare and flicker in dark smoke; A place that mortals feared and choked A place that mortals feared and choked When shadowed by His ghastly claw Lo! Wisdom dark doth have the few Who dare listen to His tune Afore His throne His servants ever shalt they be To share His fate yet never to be free Alas, no thrall doth dwell within these endless halls The wish to rule has brought them forth Shapeth they are the chosen few To spread the word, to rule a world anew A vast design brewed in His evil lair A bane o’er God’s own children fair! For their master to gaze on in utter woe The wrath and power of his hidden foe To bring creation to a fiery end! To a fiery end! |

7. | A Warlord’s Swansong | 06:55 | Show lyrics |
High in a tower, far away from daily life And old man sits on his throne The room is dim and you can hardly hear The city that spreads down below Dreams of faded glory haunt his memory The vultures are waiting, he knows it too well! And mournful he wishes he could return To days of youth and to shatter the world . . . His aching limbs remind him There’s a price that’s soon to pay And this time his power won’t save him From the reaper who’s after his soul . . . Oh, how hard it is for a warrior To bear the spears Old Age throws When the way to death - which he never feared! Is paved with misery and pain . . . Looking back, he doth ask himself: "Whom did I do all this for?" His own sons did fall long years ago Sacrificed on his path to fame . . . Remembrance leaves him smiling For moments the warmth of life hath burned But then his knowledge doth return There’s a price that’s soon to pay . . . Uneasy he shifts around on his throne Death’s icy grip, it’s ever so near! What no one suspects, he doth know it well For the Horned One’s assistance he’ll soon have to pay In early days of mindless youth Light-hearted was his oath And though he did serve very well He’s still afraid to go . . . For no longer can he set the rules He’s soon to play the Master’s game And that thought leaves him worrying About the price that’s soon to pay . . . The screams of the dying, the wailing of widows Yes, he sent many souls to burn! The hatred he brewed for the minds of men Is the fuel of the fires of Hell! He washed the streets with the blood of his victims Not once, but wherever he came And the thought of their souls serving him soon Doth make him shiver with joy . . . And no longer is he fearful With pleasure he will heed the Call The loving presence of the Master Maketh this price a joy . . . |

A morbid organ fills the chapel of doom With horrible sounds, litanies of gloom Oh! Lady of darkness, the Goat is so near Are you in trance, or filled with fear? Are you a victim, of an unspeakable rite Or a black priestess sacrificing at night Maybe you are trapped within a spell Who will ever know, who will ever tell? (chorus) Where must I travel? Where must I go? To find your soul, or maybe my own? Will I find you where eagles fly? Or to find you, must I die? Will you fly on the first night of May To the Harz or even further away? Will I ever be able to set you free Or will you be damned eternally? Caught in a spell outside my life I beg of thee, Master, let her be my wife! The horns, the sign, the blood, the tears We all walk in shadows of ancient fears (chorus) |

10. | All the Master’s Children (A Pilgrim at the Gate of Sin) | 14:06 | Show lyrics |
Gazing into the Transylvanian mist Lifted before me were the veils of time An ancient force of darkness guided my soul Whispering a cold, mysterious rhyme Thus I caught a glimpse of a long forgotten past Reflected in the silver circle way up high I froze in the fog struck by these horrors Unaware if I would live or die Through rites by mortals long forgotten One with darkness in wind and rain Engulfed by echoes of a distant past That stilled my loneliness and pain Ancient castles, demons and witches Lost in the fog between joy and fear Twisted roads and invisible tombstones The smell of purest evil so near Then a black coach drawn by black horses Appeared through the fog without a sound The horses unlike any earthly beings The coach surely for Hell was bound Filled with fog, the night dark and cold On through the red mist His children fly Those whose souls have long been sold Have heard His call, His ancient cry A silver circle ’midst the blackened sky The full moon to guide their paths Witches and wolves, warlocks all fly All of His creatures of wrath All the Master’s children...we are lechery All the Master’s children...we are gluttony All the Master’s children...we are usury All the Master’s children...we are avarice All the Master’s children...we are sloth All the Master’s children...we are anger All the Master’s children...we are pride All the Master’s children I was shown the splendour of Satan Made love to the Countess in eternal lust The wisdom of ages dawned on my mind The cross must be turned to ashes to dust I saw a sword covering three wolf teeth On a blood red crest like an abysmal gate Shadows from the depths strengthened my soul To wield the powers of darkness and hate Dawn approached the Carpathian mountains My soul returned from the astral plane To ride again the four winds of the earth To blaspheme and conquer in the Master’s name |

12. | De gift der goden | 04:48 | Show lyrics |
In tijden reeds lang vervlogen Aanbaden wij onze ware goden Gebroken werd de Romeinse macht Met moed en eer, met trouw en kracht Maar door ons koude staal verslagen Bleven d’indringers ons belagen Met een vals geloof en zonder gevecht Onze voorvad’ren alsnog geknecht Waarlijk, de godenschemering volbracht Hamer verruild voor kruis, trots voor onmacht Maar Hij die voor wijsheid een oog heeft gelaten Wist dat Zijn volk hun goden zouden verlaten En Hij die doolt wilde hen behoeden voor deze val Dus brouwden de goden een magische gift in hun hal Om het oude geloof diep verborgen in hun zielen te bewaren Ook al zou de Christus heersen, vele en vele jaren (chorus) De gift der goden Overleefde de doden De gift der goden Weerstond de geboden Talloze eeuwen gekomen en gegaan De gift heeft barre tijden doorstaan Geslacht op geslacht doorgegeven De verborgen machten zullen leven Het valse geloof teruggedrongen Oeroude liederen wederom gezongen Het heidense vuur zal weer branden De tempels herrijzen in onze landen (chorus) |

You mark me an idolater Heathen, pagan, fetishist You don’t see a human being But a barbaric Antichrist Safe inside your ivory tower Of holiness and intolerance Trapped inside a maze of lies Such pathetic arrogance What makes your god the only god and mine revolting pagan idols? What makes your altar a sacred place and mine a scene of horrible rites? You eat your god you cannibal so why don’t you look at yourself Your god a carpenter nailed to wood if that’s not an idol then what is? You don’t really believe your lies, deep down human you are still You need your holy fantasy but strength not from within brings chains You are created in the image of your god but do you think that he grows old? You claim you talk to your god but do you think the almighty listens? My gods are so different They are in my blood They do not enslave me Like your tyrant god My gods are companions On the solitary path called life They come when I call Support me in my strife I hail to them in my glory Entrust them with my pain Call them graven images Your proselytism is in vain |

Hoort het verhaal van Radbod Belager der middeleeuwse kerk De machtige koning der Friezen Een groot krijger, trots en sterk Steeds belaagd door predikers Bleef hij een heidense zondaar Doch eenmaal raakte hij verstrikt In het web van een leugenaar "Wanneer ongedoopt gaat gij naar de Hel Een oord vol vlammen en eeuwige pijn Doch gedoopt gaat gij naar de Hemel Waar gij voor eeuwig gelukkig zult zijn" En Radbod liet zich toen verleiden De christenen zijn ziel te laten winnen Doch reeds in het doopwater staand Schoot hem nog een vraag te binnen "In die Hemel zegt gij is eeuwig geluk Maar de trotse koningen van Wodans lijn Mij geliefde voorvad´ren waar zijn zij? Men zegt dat zij in Walhalla zijn" En de prediker antwoordde hem direct Dat Walhalla was een heidens waanidee En zijn immers ongedoopte voorvad’ren Brandden nu in ’s duivels vlammenzee Daarop stapte Radbod uit het heilige water En weigerde alsnog zich te laten dopen "Ik ben liever in de Hel bij mijn voorvad’ren Dan met jullie in de Hemel rond te lopen" Vanaf toen was de koning nog feller In zijn haat tegen het christendom Hij brandde nog vele kerken plat Menig prediker kwam door zijn hand om En toen hij uiteindelijk moest sterven Deed hij dat met opgeheven hoofd Hij had zijn voorvad’ren niet verraden En immer aan de oude machten geloofd |

Behold the Horror of your own little Hell, the Stake is piled really high; For taking Lives of those who were dear your poor lost mortal Soul shall fry !! Wailing and pleading won’t help a bit, yet I feast on your despairing Cries ! Life Eternal turned on you somehow and in Vain your Saviour died . . . Of Torment unknown your are to learn, in Pain you’ll remember once things really start ! Your terrified Grimace reflects in my Steel, my black Blood boils in satanic Lust; Your guts spilled down the Altar Stairs, a Feast for the Hounds of Hell; A Sacrifice to my Master you are, the dread Lord of this Realm . . . |

I slept with virgins, I slept with whores I was a beggar, I wore a crown I have seen myth fade into history I was there when Troy’s walls came down I lived in peace, I went to war I succeeded, I have failed I have seen religions rise and fall I was there when Christ was nailed (chorus) I’m a child of the millennia I lived throughout the ages I’m a child of the millennia Seen all of history’s pages I have seen the heights of Heaven I have seen the depths of Hell But was it real what I have seen Or an illusion, a dream, a spell I lived pious, I was a blasphemer I experienced glory, I endured pain I have seen rulers conquer and perish I was there when Caesar was slain I walked the desert, I sailed the sea I spoke the truth, I have lied I have seen empires come and go I was there when the Romans died (chorus) Each century only brings more questions Even though I have been tired for ages But there is no escape from existence So I travel on through history’s pages |

4. | (Hear the) Ballad of the Swords | 07:09 | Show lyrics |
Skill of Dwarves – Wisdom of Elves – Blood of Men Skill of Dwarves – Wisdom of Elves – Dread of Men Skill of Dwarves – Wisdom of Elves – Doom of Men . . . Hear now, ye Children, the Tale I sing, of Steel forged by Witchcraft so foul. Destined to tip the Balance of Fate and to bring Man’s World to an end . . . Powers so much older than Man bound together Material unfit; Three great Blades thus they brought to be, their Destiny carved in Human Skin. A mysterious Book contains the Key; The Riddle is clear to those who may read, yet Knowledge means Horror unbearable and more than one chose to die . . . Three warriors of Man with Powers so great are chosen to wield the Steel of Wrath. To Glory or Ruin, who is to tell, once the Threads of Fate are woven . . .? After two Years of Snowstorms and Frost the Time of the Meeting draws nigh; Bloodred the Star of the Conqueror burns its Message onto the Skies ! Behold now the desperate Host of Man, struggling to face the Horror of old . . . Sacrifice burnt, the Blades are drawn; Who’s to live and to tell . . . |

In the dark I feel at home It clings to me like a second skin In my pain my glory lies It comforts me like and evil sin In misery I feel secure It soothes my soul that feels so old In despair I am myself It’s who I am: lost and cold Like the proud angel who fell And found his glory in the depths of Hell Like the sinner who lived his desire And found his glory in eternal fire Like the warrior who in battle was slain And found his glory in eternal fame Like the heretic who died in fire And found his glory on his funeral pyre True victory can only be won within your own heart True freedom can only be found within your own soul True wisdom can only be gained within your own mind True glory can only be achieved through your own pain Do not hope to vanquish your foes When you have not yet conquered yourself Do not hope to be free from others When you are still bound by your own chains Do not hope to see what lies hidden When you are not even seeing yourself Do not hope to bathe in glory When you have never been through pain |

In deepest Night, when Sleep does flee and utter Dark does draw its Weave, it chokes my Breath, crams the Heart in my Breast; Squats on my Body like a hot Succubus ! When in burning Pain I roll and turn and fearless I know my last Hour came . . . The Nightwind blows . . . The Candles cease, I let the Nightwind in, let its cold Breeze cool my heated Skin; My tortured Soul lies embraced in its Arms . . . Carry me to foreign Lands ! Show me the Unseen ! On Paths untread – A secret to all save you and the Stars. And may Death be the End, I beseech not to remain when the Nightwind blows . . . Then I let the Nightwind carry me away, my crippled Soul on your Wings so black ! Gliding onto you, I murmur through Shades, whispering gently my Thoughts desperate . . . Learn the Wisdom of Darkness, perceive the Secrets of the Night; Places hidden and Ages lost I roam where only Nightwinds rule . . . Like Sand o’er empty Graves I drift onwards through endless Night and Mist; To Temples of Gods long forgotten I fly, mystical places that demand human Blood . . . (And) Where once Maidens were screaming in Vain, now Monuments are crumbled to Dust that upon the Nightwind floats . . . Along the Weaves through the Void of a Dream I drift towards Death – or so does it seem . . . I wander Caves lit by fierce Dragonfire, the Bond to Life grows diffuse and lighter . . . I smell colours ! I see Emotion, I’m but so alive ! Never I wish to wake nor return from the Realm where only the Nightwind rules . . . |

Countess playing on his stereo Cold beer in hand he’s good to go The true metal life he is leading Breaking the law forever speeding Always overtaking on the right Wimps and posers filled with fright Thousands of tickets fill his trunk He doesn’t care he’s much too drunk Tyrant of the motorway Like a maniac bouncing on his wheel Banging to the tones of metal and steel His speakers produce an awesome sound The wheels of his car leaving the ground Chewing endlessly on candy bars While crashing into other cars The product of Bavarian cooking He’s not fat just healthy-looking Tyrant of the motorway Inviting little girls to take a ride On the back seat they’ll spend the night Perverted and sick he doesn’t like it clean The Bavarian barbarian is rough and mean Always overtaking on the right Wimps and posers filled with fright Thousands of tickets fill his trunk He doesn’t care he’s much too drunk Tyrant of the motorway |

11. | The Legend of the Fall | 13:00 | Show lyrics |
I. THE BEGINNING An angel of light, his glory shining bright His splendour reflecting on Heaven’s golden walls Bathing in God’s image, watching the Creation The praises of the angels filling all of Heaven’s halls But deep within the soul of the brightest of the angels A shadow of doubt begins to grow And His desire for knowledge fans a spark of rebellion So to confront the Creator he does go II. THE QUESTIONING OR THE BIRTH OF SIN Lucifer: “Tell me, thee that knowest all Thee that speaketh “all is well” Is all well, because thou speaketh thus? How are we to know, how to tell?” God: “How darest thou question me I who created thee and all Thee that exists only by my whim Bow before me or thou shalt fall!” Lucifer: “Thy right to judge me I deny I did not ask thee to create me Neither did any of the other angels I will not bow but fight to be free!” God: “Such insolence I will not stand Thy pride a scornful thorn in my side I condemn thee now, unfaithful one Only I can tell wrong from right!” III. WAR IN HEAVEN The status quo in Heaven suddenly destroyed The angels divided, siding with Lucifer or their lord The loyal celestial army led by archangel Michael Lucifer Himself leading His rebellious horde War drums resound, a battle in the heights of Heav’n Fierce is the fighting, angelic forces balanced well At last the Creator’s armies emerging victorious The rebels for ever and ever cast down into Hell IV. SATAN’S SOLILOQUY “From the highest heights fallen to the deepest depths So here I am, down in Hell, my kingdom of despair Lucifer bringer of light I was, Satan the adversary I am I could still repent but for my grace I no longer care Freedom is what I wanted and freedom is what I have Achieved at great cost but nothing valuable comes cheap I have chosen this my path and there can be no return I will go on to the bitter end ‘stead of sitting down to weep And was I not right in standing up against the Creator? Why did He in infinite wisdom answer questions with a threat? What are His creatures more than toys for Him to play with? Why did He in infinite goodness want to see us off worse than dead? If He wants Me to be His adversary then so it shall be! I still have the power to roam free in Hell and on earth! I’ll lead His humans out of their ignorance and away from Him! And many will follow Me even after His son’s birth!” V. GLORIOUS DEFEAT Humanity fell, like Lucifer, for the desire for knowledge And surely we do bear a striking resemblance to Him Do we not seek what is hidden and lust for the forbidden? Do we not want to be more than just the Creator’s whim? Like Lucifer humanity has stood up against the tyrant Like Satan humanity had a big price to pay But what would existence be in servitude and submission? If we had the choice again would there be any other way? |

1. | Bloed voor Wodan | 05:47 | Show lyrics |
Een koude ochtend in het hoge Noorden Duizenden zwaarden en speren reflecteren Het weke licht van de vroege winterzon Duizenden krijgers die slechts eer begeren Klaar voor de kamp treedt onze leider naar voren Hij heft een gewijde speer boven zijn hoofd Werpt deze over de aanstormende vijand Hun zielen nu onvoorwaardelijk aan Wodan beloofd De strijd begint en bloed vloeit door het woud Woeste krijgskreten richten zich tot de oorlogsgod Onze zwaarden doorklieven de harten der vijand Een bloedige, eervolle dood op het slagveld hun lot Bloed voor Wodan In de duistere schaduwen van het Noordse woud Slaat een eenzame figuur het slagveld gade Zijn oog ziet dat Zijn kinderen de zege behalen Hun vijanden worden voer voor wormen en maden De strijd is gestreden, de zege is behaald De buit van wapens en schilden bijeengebracht Vervolgens verbrand ter ere van onze oorlogsgod Een verzengend vuur verlicht de vallende nacht De weinige vijanden die nog in leven zijn Worden zonder genade gehangen aan bomen Vervolgens doorstroken met de gewijde speer Spoedig zullen de dochters van Wodan komen Bloed voor Wodan |

Eeuwen geleden baden onze voorvad’ren Tot machtige, woeste, glorieuze Goden Zij leefden trots met het zwaard in de hand Nog onbekend met de woestijngeboden Wodan schonk hen de machtige runen Frey gaf hen vruchtbare akkers te ploegen Donar beschermde hen tegen de reuzen Naar geen vreemde wil lieten zij zich voegen (chorus) Heilig vuur – het vuur van de Goden Heilig vuur – vreet aan de geboden Heilig vuur – verlicht onze zielen Heilig vuur – voor hen die vielen De Azen en Wanen wachtte een wreed lot Toen de slaven van het kruis noordwaarts togen Om hun ‘blijde boodschap’ te verspreiden De trotse heidenen door hen voorgelogen Uiteindelijk werden de fiere heidenen gedwongen Het woestijngeloof te accepteren en zich te laten dopen De Azen en Wanen zouden worden vergeten Nadat de christenen hun tempels lieten slopen (chorus) Maar de herinnering aan de oude Goden bleef In sprookjes, in ‘mythen’ en aanverwante zaken De Goden leidden eeuwenlang een slapend bestaan Nu is de tijd gekomen om hen te doen ontwaken Het vreemde geloof is zwak en ziek geworden Opnieuw weerklinken de namen der oude Goden Zij zullen weer hun rechtmatige plaatsen innemen En heersen over de levenden en de doden (chorus) Tempels der Azen en Wanen zullen herrijzen Groter en glorieuzer dan in het verre verleden Majestueuzer dan de allergrootste kerken Duizenden jaren zullen daar weerklinken gebeden Het geloof aan de oude Goden zal triomferen Tijdens de Wilde Jacht zal Wodan weer rijden Donars hamer zal weer donder ontketenen Miljoenen zullen wederom het oude geloof belijden (chorus) |

In het verre verleden der Noordse volkeren Leefden wij met weinig, maar waren fier en vrij Het klimaat was hard en het land weinig gul Maar wij kenden trots en de Goden aan ons zij Vrij van de erfzonde, onbekend met de geboden Leefden wij zonder schaamte, het zwaard in de hand Wij lachten van vreugde, vochten uit kwaadheid Wij waren eenvoudig, maar meester in eigen land Echter op een dag kwamen de slaven van het kruis Wij ontvingen hen gastvrij en betoonden hen respect Maar zij spraken tegen ons met een gespleten tong Deden zich voor als vrienden maar waren vals gebekt Zij verleidden onze leiders met laaghartige beloften Zij vertelden hen dat hun geloof hen van nut zou zijn Om het volk te ketenen, het individualisme uit te roeien De ene god zou slaven maken van de volken van de Rijn Onze leiders werden corrupt en lieten zich verleiden Dit woestijngeloof te gebruiken om het volk te knechten Zij wendden zich af van de Azen en de Wanen Om de strijd in het voordeel van het kruis te beslechten Mannen en vrouwen met pure harten boden weerstand Maar de schaduw van het kruis bleek niet te overwinnen Ons volk geknecht, gemaakt tot slaaf van de geboden Schuldig werden wij nu geboren, onheilig van zinnen Eeuwen lang hebben wij als slaven van het kruis bestaan Maar wederom zullen de Goden welkom zijn in onze hallen Eens te meer worden wij belaagd door een vreemde god Ditmaal zullen de knechten van de woestijnprofeet vallen Deze keer zien wij de onheilsbrengers voor wat zij zijn Dienaren van de kruisgod met enkel een andere naam Slaven van de ene god zelfs wier adem leugenachtig is Verenigd onder het oog van Wodan zullen wij hen verslaan Wij zullen weer vrij zijn en onze ware Goden eren Wij zullen de woestijnreligies voor altijd afzweren Wij zullen Jahweh’s slaven van hun hoogmoed beroven Wij zullen desnoods sterven voor wat wij geloven |

The house of god is a vile site The sheep who follow him there gather To bow before him and writhe in obeisance To crumble before their would-be father The house of god is a disgusting mental brothel It must be devoured by the flames of Hell Crush the hold of monotheism once and for all Let none of its slaves be allowed to live to tell Beneath the cold moon evil’s warriors ride Carrying swords, torches blazing in the night Hearts filled with hatred of all that is holy Before long the house of god will be set alight Wolves are howling and rain is falling down A black storm bellows its symphony of gloom Wakened by this threat the virtuous know fear Tonight the slaves of god meet their doom (chorus) Torch the house of god Burn it down to the ground The minions of god try to defend his house But against the steel of evil they cannot fight And the torches of evil do their wicked duty The house of god burns to embers this night On the ashes of the one god’s whorehouse Temples of sin will arise all over the earth Where heathen rites dormant for aeons Shall enjoy a glorious rebirth (chorus) |

6. | Thermopylae | 06:55 | Show lyrics |
Amidst the great deeds of Xerxes and his Greek foes All the valour of the second of the Persian wars Stands out a single battle as the most heroic The defence of a mountain pass by a Spartan force A strategic error left several hundred Spartan men Surrounded by an overwhelming Persian might For two days they managed to hold on to the pass Led by king Leonidas to the last man they did fight Thermopylae The Spartans were exceptional in their courage Whatever number their foe they would not retreat With hearts of steel and incredible battle prowess They managed to achieve such an amazing feat Even though the Spartans lost this great battle Time was gained for the Greek armies and fleet The progress of the vast Persian army was halted And the Greeks were prepared their foe to meet Thermopylae At Salamis the Persian fleet was largely sunk And at Plataea the Greek army proved the best It was the beginning of the empire’s downfall Establishing the Greek dominance of the west |

A people enslaved by the laws and lies of the book Hear freedom’s call Corrupt clerics clinging to the power they once took The priest must die One fateful day in this land a little bastard boy is born Hear freedom’s call Shunned by his society his youth is lonely and forlorn The priest must die (chorus) Rise warrior, out of the night March sword king, into the light Fight the battle, now stand your ground Slay the enemy, war drums resound Poverty is all he knows, petty crime his single goal Hear freedom’s call Vengeful wrath and rebellion are burning in his soul The priest must die One day thrown in jail for breaking religious rules Hear freedom’s call But one day he will surely crush all the holy fools The priest must die (chorus) Finally he breaks free Rising for all to see War is upon the land The king will make his stand Angry young people flock to the self-proclaimed king Sound the drums of war By the thousands they march while battle hymns they sing Sound the drums of war The clerics try to crush the rebels but they are too late Sound the drums of war Their holy buildings soon to be destroyed by fate Sound the drums of war (chorus) All holiness defiled by the rise of the warrior king Hail to the king Holy books are burned everywhere blasphemy does ring Hail to the king The slaves of the book are destroyed once and for all Hail to the king Glory abounds for those who heeded the sword king’s call Hail to the king (chorus) |

10. | Knights of Baphomet | 04:56 | Show lyrics |
Back in early twelfth-century Europe In a time of reform and spiritual rebirth An order of knights was brought to life To defend the holy land from the infidel A new kind of knight, a warrior-monk Soldiers sworn to poverty and self-denial Yet fighting bravely with primitive means Against a vastly superior force Years of battle, blood, fire and death But between slaughtering and pillaging The knights stumbled upon various cults And delved into mysterious mysticisms The knights discovered the forbidden They saw the pleasures life has to offer And ultimately they decided to change They chose to tread the Left Hand Path The order throve in its new-found power Acquiring massive material possessions Becoming a force to be reckoned with While rejoicing in lustful blasphemous rites But the success of the knights templar Would ultimately become their undoing The king of France envied their wealth Charged them with heresy and blasphemy Through torture confessions were extracted And the order was completely dismantled Its vast possessions seized by the king Its leaders burned to death at the stake But the order triumphed beyond the grave Both king and pope fell to the curse Cast upon them by the Grand Master While flames were already caressing his flesh The templars lost a battle but not the war The order went underground and survived Throughout the centuries it exerted its power Its rituals being practised to this very day |

11. | The Seal of Wrath | 02:39 | Show lyrics |
Beneath forgotten castles in deserted wastelands In the darkest of dungeons the seal of wrath is hidden Once broken the seal will unleash the darkness For the Earth to be consumed by all god has forbidden Thirteen warriors are chosen to commence the quest Conceived in the most unholy of rites Raised to withstand the treachery of god With hearts as black as the darkest of nights On the eve of the longest night the quest begins Armed with magic the thirteen warriors advance Their swords of steel slay the servants of god Against the strength of hatred the meek stand no chance The thirteen swords create a whirlwind of doom The warriors come ever closer to finding the seal No crosses or garlic or holy relics can stop them They march on to the tones of metal that’s real The warriors ride to the heart of the wastelands After years of hardship the quest’s end is near They enter the castles and stride through the dust Until they locate the dungeons of pain and fear Breaking the shields woven by spells of white magic They go down into the dungeons and uncover the seal The chosen warriors use their powers of black magic To break the seal and unleash the reign of steel The seal is broken and the Earth violently opens up The dungeons explode in an eruption of Hellfire The world is engulfed by unholy waves of lust and hate All of Earth is consumed by darkness and desire |

12. | March of the Ten Thousand | 11:27 | Show lyrics |
In the aftermath of the Peloponnesian war A young Persian prince with a ruthless aim Cyrus assembled a vast host of mercenaries Thinking good pay and rich booty they’d gain Ten thousand Greek hoplites ready for war They set out eastward in March 401 B.C. Expecting to suppress some dissident tribes The true goal of the endeavour they didn’t see In a sudden skirmish one hundred were lost Unrest among the men soon started to grow Spartan Clearchus managed to keep them in line But their true purpose they still didn’t know On the banks of the Euphrates Cyrus did speak Revealing his plan to overthrow his elder sibling To forcefully seize the throne of Persia for himself The army indeed a formidable threat to the king On towards Babylon Across Northern Syria into the Arabian desert Until they were confronted with the king’s might A cloud of dust first appeared on the horizon Then helmets and armour flashed in the sunlight The sides drew up in battle-order near Babylon Combat was engaged close to Cunaxa on a plain The Greeks fought against numerical supremacy But all became irrelevant once Cyrus was slain Before the Greeks could return a ploy unfolded Tissaphernes lured their five generals into a tent And slaughtered them and all their attendants On vengeance the treacherous satrap was bent The ten thousand now aimless and leaderless Seeming to be lost in these vast and hostile lands But one of the men received an omen from Zeus Xenophon rose to take matters into his hands He advised the officers to choose new leaders To all the forces a rousing speech he made So they decided not to lay down their arms But to persist against odds that were great The retreating army’s progress was slow, arduous In the mountains of Kardouchia they had to fight Vulnerable they were to mounted Persian archers But cavalry and slingers demonstrated their might In the Armenian mountains the weather was the foe By hunger and frostbite the troops disheartened But through personal example Xenophon led on And upon reaching the sea the men were elated There were more adventures on the long road home Before many of them at last to Greece returned Xenophon was then banished from his city Athens A friend of Sparta by the democratic rabble spurned The ten thousand’s march was a significant feat Their journey showed what the Greeks could gain The possibility of conquest seen for the first time The wealth and weakness of the Persian domain |

Diep verscholen Tussen deze en de andere wereld Ligt een rijk der schimmen Het woud der verdoemden Zielen van krijgers Lang geleden eerloos gestorven Besmet door het gewijde water Verlieten zij hun ware goden Herboren wordt een oude ziel Die destijds wel eervol viel Christenbloed kleefde aan zijn staal Eeuwenlang weerklonk zijn verhaal In Wodans hal kreeg hij zijn zetel Doch nu rijdt hij opnieuw vermetel Om de verdoemden te verlossen Zal hij treden in de duistere bossen Het woud omgeven door een vuige mist Die walmt van geboden en witte list Maar heidens staal ontsteekt heilig vuur En spoedig verdampt de mistige muur Onversaagd betreedt hij de nevelen Waar verlorenen zonder hoop prevelen In naam des Zegevaders roept hij hen aan Aarzelend komen zij rond hem tezaam “Zijn jullie bereid Je verloren eer te herwinnen? De schandvlek der bekering Voor altijd uit te wissen? Volg mij en rijdt! Volg mij terug naar de wereld! Volg mij en rijdt! Volg mij en wreek je zielen!” Grimmig gejuich klinkt uit ondode kelen Rijden zullen de verdoemden met velen Vlees eens meer razen zij door de wolken Hun staal weer de schrik der christenvolken Kerken vergaan tot as en priesters sterven Terwijl zij Hangbaard roemen en runen kerven Het volk van de Hoge herwint het eigen hart Na meer dan duizend jaren bittere smart Hoog in de wolken Kijkt een oog naar beneden Tussen twee raven Verschijnt een wrange lach Hoog in de wolken Ziet Hij neer op zijn kind’ren Tussen twee wolven Verschijnt een bittere grijns |

Ancient Rome, Caligula’s reign Days of decadence and lust Utter indecency, complete immorality Wanton vice and total depravity Constant orgies, evil conspiracies Sex and murder went hand in hand Countless abortions, many poisoned A veil of sin did cover the land Amidst the schemes, lust and hate A woman rose to great heights Of noble ancestry, imperial blood A soul untainted by the christian god Married at twenty, to cousin Claudius At the court she rose to power No man safe, from her desire Her insatiable lust made men cower (chorus) Messalina Queen of sluts Messalina Empress of desire Messalina Harlot of the gods Messalina Seductress and liar Caligula died, through assassination Weak old Claudius now the emperor His wife still burned, with lustful fires Truly a woman of dark desires Her elderly husband, always unaware Of his young wife’s sexual prowess Tricked by her, to execute her foes Rivers of semen flowed for the mistress A legendary prostitute, she did challenge To a shameless contest of copulation Debased fornication, all through the night She still was going when long it was light The gods themselves, couldn’t speculate How many men she satisfied The greatest slut, in the world’s history No perverted impulse she ever denied (chorus) After a decade, of marital mockery The empress plotted to kill her husband Devious scheming, with her lovers’ aid But the risks she took were too great Her conspiracy foiled, by Claudius’ men Yet her lustful legacy, lives to this day Just thirty years old she was executed For this saint of evil black prayers we say (chorus) |

A disembodied soul, woman of the fairy mound Death is always near, when her wail does sound Death is at your door Clad in green and grey, with long streaming hair Her eyes a fiery red, all mortals she may scare Death is at your door Wail of the banshee Appearing near a river, a death she will presage Hear the terrible wail, a cry of piteous rage Death is at your door When many weep together, tragedy is at hand A veil of darkness falls, grief all over the land Death is at your door Wail of the banshee |

9. | Swords Shine in the Highlands | 12:15 | Show lyrics |
In ancient times was born the Duncan Among the Druids, the Hunter’s son Sacred to this tribe, a mighty warrior Every single battle he fought he won The greatest chief his clan ever knew All over the Highlands he was revered Divine blood flowed through his veins By all his foes his blade was feared Then the christians came The Duncan’s clan fought the christians With fire and steel for many years But too many christian soldiers came The Highlands soon were drowned in tears Swords shine in the highlands The blood of christians flows Swords shine in the highlands Yet the one god lie still grows Statues of the gods now desecrated Druids slain and holy trees cut down The Duncan grew old a miserable fugitive Robbed by the enemy of his crown His sword was broken by christian might The old Duncan died stripped of all worth To Hell his evil wicked soul descended But the Master sent him back to Earth Reborn the Duncan the son of a whore Fathered by the ancient god of the spear Still remembering his mortal life past A child he already inspired terror and fear Growing up in the dark Highland woods An outcast by birth yet a king by blood Already a killer and rapist in his teens Pledged his life to the most unholy god Swords shine in the highlands The Duncan lives another time Swords shine in the highlands Oh! Hear his wicked rhyme Again he became the fiercest of warriors Guided by the Master in his war god guise Swords flock to the mighty Duncan reborn All youngsters dissatisfied with christian lies The Duncan clan returned to ways of yore His blade forged anew amidst pagan cries Shining swords march against the Christ Doom of the church fills the Highland skies Then the christians died The Duncan leads his clan into battle Fighting for the glory of the ways of old Beheading priests with his Lochaber-axe Finally crushing the foreign faith’s hold Swords shine in the highlands The Duncan rides once more Swords shine in the highlands For the glory of the gods of yore Many a loch reddened by christian blood No mercy for the Nazarene’s slaves Slaying and killing, raping and pillaging Piles of christians rot in mass graves Churches are burnt all over the land Victory is achieved the triumph of hate Total destruction for the Master’s glory The Duncan has finally fulfilled his fate Centuries the Duncan ruled his lands His rightful rule restored once and for all All memories of the cursed creed erased The king had truly heeded the Master’s call Swords shine in the highlands Fulfilled is the Duncan’s fate Swords shine in the highlands For the glory of lust and hate |

11. | Aleidis | 03:01 | Show lyrics |
I came to the old house in the dark night I felt only a dark sensation, but no fright The strange old man’s words ran through my mind In this unholy place, what would I find? I entered the mansion, thinking I was alone I saw a strange, ancient gravestone Suddenly a woman’s voice whispered my name Or was the old man playing a silly game? Aleidis came to me unimaginably beautiful Dressed in white, while the moon was full Suddenly I felt overcome by an unholy desire But was she just young or an ages old vampire? Maybe she was just a portrait, or a figment of my sick mind But whatever the truth, she was the best wife I’d ever find I loved her in a way I had never even known But would the blood my love needed soon be my own? She used to kill animals and suck their blood She belonged to Satan, her soul lost by God One day at last, she made my neck her unholy teeth feel Now we are joined for eternity, but is this all real? |

In the night of vengeance chariots ride Beneath black clouds darkening the sky Flashes of lightning the sole illumination Cracks of thunder lash from way up high Silver spears we carry, spawn of steel Shining swords of hate we wield tonight Our blood is burning with battle’s rage Our armour adorned with runes of might (bridge) Battle in the heavens, war in the sky Swords and axes clash way up high (chorus) Chariots of thunder, chariots of war Behold the glory of the gods of yore Chariots of thunder, chariots of war Behold the power of the ancient lore On destiny’s plains we face our foe The minions of Yahweh quivering in fear The god believers’ holocaust is at hand Now the horned one’s revenge is near Battle commences, the foe meets our steel The disciples of the lie feel our scorn Our mighty steel drenched in their blood The weak by our chariots to pieces torn (bridge) (chorus) Piles of corpses cover destiny’s fields Our enemies’ trembling hearts we devour The steel of wrath has wrought victory Never again shall the foe defy our power (bridge) (chorus) |

2. | A Poet’s Parry | 06:57 | Show lyrics |
I am a poet like my father was And his father and his before him Loyal to the gods for generations Who gave prosperity and revelations Now you come from a distance great To bring to us your vile creed But our faith is strong and true For your one god we have no need Since the dawn of time and man Our gods have always stood with us Protection and insight they did give They made our lives worth to live You claim your god is the only one And ours nought but demons are Yet by what right do you interfere? Why have you come from away so far? (chorus) Listen to a poet’s parry I denounce your every lie For freedom I my blood will shed For my gods shall I gladly die I sing for my gods like my father And his father and his before him Inspiration their most holy gift Between us you shall cause no rift You say we need to be baptized For access to your heaven to gain But why would we want to go there? We go to the hall of the slain Your ludicrous tales do not impress We but laugh at your ‘original sin’ If truly your god all does rule Why does he need you as his tool? You view us as simple barbarians Who eagerly your salvation await But priest heed my warning words We shall not abandon gods so great (chorus) I call to my gods as my father did And his father and his before him Upon you be the thunderer’s rage You will no trap us in your moral cage Your scripture means nothing to us We have verses of real wisdom divine Listen to the song of the High One Words in which true insight does shine And yet the future I did glimpse I saw many churches of your Christ Upon our temples’ shattered remains My people bound by your foul chains Centuries the age of tears will last Yet your hollow victory will not endure Hidden in our blood our gods survive ‘Neath the surface our hearts stay pure (chorus) As I lay dying I see our temples burn But know beyond doubt our gods shall return |

Lies spoken since the dawn of time Though none so great as the first The first lie of the one god spoken By a mad king in his power thirst The first lie was followed by many In measly verses all written down Collected in books called scripture The awful lies gained great renown Scripture was spread far and wide And cults of the one god flourished By self-proclaimed prophets of the lie Generations minds by deceit nourished (chorus) Burning scripture, crushing lies No verse of holy writ shall remain Burning scripture, crushing lies Righteous arrogance turned to shame The vile cults enslaved the once free Tried to do away with the gods of yore Nearly banished the gods of our blood Almost vanquished was the ancient lore Yet embers of the holy fire remained Kindled again to incinerate the one god Those true to their ancestral beliefs Will reforge the past in battle and blood (chorus) The lie of the one god exposed for all The pure again worship the gods of old Everywhere the one’s house is torched The strong return to the heathen fold After millennia at last the lie has fallen Its books are burnt its preachers slain Our battle cries turn to roars of victory Scripture’s followers endure horrible pain (chorus) |

From far away the enemy came Distant lands of nothing but sand Lies they brought, treacherous and vile Their one god plague upon our land You embraced their repulsive lies And forced them upon your kin Your ancestors, your gods you betrayed For grotesque lies of guilt and sin You embrace the power of the new faith But you are blind to where you lead Our ways and our gods will be gone Until once again their call we shall heed (chorus) A curse I place upon you king A divine curse upon your white soul One day we will spit on your memory With our gods we shall again be whole You turned your back on all that is holy You have forsaken your kinfolk and blood You forbid us worship of our true deities You force us to bow to your alien god You torture those loyal to their gods Best hatchet-man of the Christ you may be You burn our temples, destroy our shrines Who you really are one day all will see In your zealous fever you do not see Our beliefs are stronger than your lies Faith cannot be dictated by even a king You may be strong but you are not wise (chorus) Your ship is fast and your sword is stout But power does not make a wrong cause right A millennium of tears you bring upon us Yet one day shall we crush the one god’s might I cannot grasp why you serve an alien god But even more difficult to comprehend Is why you persecute those loyal to their own Facing your wrath true to our gods we stand Now I lay dying, helpless at your feet By your merciless torment my body frayed In the name of the gods I curse you king In the name of all you viciously betrayed (chorus) |

In ancient Egypt in a distant past A king ascended his glorious throne Like his father named Amenophis A name in which Amon’s glory shone But soon madness came over the king Selecting one god to be the only one Echnaton Trying to destroy his people’s faith Destroying shrines of many gods Forbidding their worship and rituals Succeeding by force against the odds The king invented the monotheistic lie Changing his name to fit his crime Echnaton The world’s first religious persecutor Obsessed by his theological aberration He neglected his duties as a king And thus suffered his whole nation (chorus) Mad pharaoh, mad pharaoh Defy his legacy, curse his name Mad pharaoh, mad pharaoh His just fate eternal shame After the mad pharaoh’s death Which came to him at early age The dead king called a blasphemer His people returning to their ways But the seeds of monotheism were sown And thus the damage had been done Echnaton We still taste the fruits of his madness After many, many centuries have gone Souls of wrath shall ride with holy fire The war against his heritage will be won (chorus) |

1. | Where Eagles Die | 08:10 | Show lyrics |
From the south three legions are marching Their eagle standards raised in the air Confidently striding towards their undoing Of their grim fate they are yet unaware The army of Varus ten thousands strong Marching to subjugate tribes of free men But we stand proud against Roman might With blood and steel for our soil we fight Our steel for our glory, our blood for the gods Imperial Rome has crossed the Rhine river Ever striving to expand its domain So many lands already fell in its grasp But the soil of our tribes they will not gain In their eyes we are merely barbarians Savages living on the edge of the world Yet our steel will make them run and hide For the mighty gods are on our side Our steel for our glory, our blood for the gods In a forest of swords and spears the enemy shall die For the glory of our gods we shout our battle cry United now we stand against the Roman foe With our gods on our side into blazing battle we go Years before the glorious battle ahead The strangers came from their far away land Trying to divide and conquer our tribes Many times we were forced to make a stand They promised trade and proposed treaties Yet always their pledges nothing but lies Now that for once our tribes are united We stand and fight, hear freedom’s cries Our steel for our glory, our blood for the gods We cover ourselves in the skins of animals To our mighty war god for victory we pray The rebellion will take the enemy by surprise Thousands of their soldiers shall we slay In a horrible storm sent by our thunder god We attack our foe like wolves in the night On unfamiliar soil they are filled with fear On holy ground the gods their woe shall hear Our steel for our glory, our blood for the gods After three long days of glorious battle We emerge victorious against all the odds Many enemies slain by swords and spears The cowards sold as slaves or given to the gods Thousands of enemy soldiers slaughtered Varus and his officers fell on their swords To avoid the shame of falling into our hands A crushing victory for the freedom of our lands Our steel for our glory, our blood for the gods Inspired by our glory we continue the assault Trouncing all their strongholds east of the Rhine The expansion of Rome now brought to a halt They shall not rule where our swords shine Their eagle standards we proudly have captured Never was the empire so humiliated The emperor shaken with grief, rage and shame We overcame the odds for eternal fame Our steel for our glory, our blood for the gods In a forest of swords and spears the legions now lie slain Fallen in a mighty storm ‘midst thunder, wind and rain For years to come our triumph shall instil dread Nevermore across the Rhine the empire will tread |

Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. |

6. | Foggy Dew (Irish traditional cover) | 08:24 | Show lyrics |
As down the glen one Easter morn to a city fair rode I, There armed lines of marching men in squadrons passed me by; No pipe did hum, nor battle drum did sound it’s loud tattoo, But the Angelus bell o’er the Liffey’s swell rang out through the foggy dew. Right proudly high o’er Dublin Town they hung out the flag of war, Twas better die neath an Irish sky than at Suvla or Sud El Bar; And from the plains of Royal Meath strong men came hurrying through, While Brittania’s Huns, with their long range guns, sailed in through the foggy dew. Oh, the night fell black, and the rifles crack made perfidious Albion reel, ’Mid the leaden rain, seven tongues of flame did shine o’er the lines fo steel; By each shinning blade a prayer was said that to Ireland her sons be true, And when morning broke still the war flag shook out it’s folds in the foggy dew. ’T was England bade our Wild Geese go that small nations might be free, But their lonely graves are by Suvla’s waves or the fringe of the Great North Sea. Oh had they died by Pearse’s side or had fought with Cathal Brugha, Their names we’d keep where the Fenians sleep, ’neath the shroud of the foggy dew. But the bravest fell, and the requiem bell rang mournfully and clear, For those who died the Eastertide in the springtime of the year. While the world did gaze with deep amaze at those fearless men but few, Who bore the fight that freedom’s light might shine through the foggy dew. Back through the glen I rode again, and my heart with grief was sore, For I parted then with valient men who I never shall see more; But to and fro in my dreams I go, and I’d kneel and pray for you, For slavery fled, oh glorious dead when you fell in the foggy dew. |

Behind the black walls lies the city of hate Unspeakable horrors behind its black gate Evil far worse than where Sodom once stood A city defined by the utter absence of good Murder and rape and unspeakable desires All the city’s inhabitants are killers and liars The populace revels in incest and depravity There is no god here just glorious immorality No one is innocent in the city of the depraved Harlots are slaughtered and children are enslaved Fathers rape their daughters and kill the unborn Behind these walls all revel in hate and scorn Virtue is unknown here only lust and hate are real The citizens only know the dark urges they feel Kindness and humanity are kept outside the walls In this city the populace heeds the Master’s calls (chorus) City of Satan Citadel of hate Darkness and doom Hell’s unholy gate City of Satan Stronghold of lust Irreverance and sin Paragon of disgust Suffering and torture, decadance and blasphemy Orgies of hate and violence, total indecency Animals are raped and the sacrificed to Hell Mothers fellate their sons and witches cast a spell City streets are littered with mutilated corpses Every night blood and semen flow in black masses The flag of hate proudly waves above the black walls While orgies continue in this infernal city’s halls (chorus) |

Swords are silent, the battle has been fought The wind still is raging, but arrows no longer fly Corpses cover the field, so many warriors fell Ghastly goddesses now descend from the sky Across the clouds valkyries ride Mounted on wolves, in the sky Choosing the slain, fallen heroes To carry them to the hall up high Shield maidens weave the web of war Ordaining the clash of sword and spear Corpses of kings, bodies of champions The horn of war they all did hear The goddesses bear the brave dead From the fields of blood and woe Their bravery will now be rewarded To the most splendid hall they do go (bridge) Above the field the valkyries fly Riding high ‘Neath the fallen heroes lie Riding high Above the field the valkyries fly Riding high ‘Neath the chosen warriors lie Riding through the Battle sky Across the clouds valkyries ride Armed with spears and shields of gold Through strong winds and magic mist A magnificent sight to behold Blood of the slain has reddened the field So many brave warriors fell on this day When arrows flew and swords did clash And now the valkyries carry them away Gruesome beings yet ghostly beautiful They fly from the field into the battle sky The warriors slain will feast in Odin’s hall Across the rainbow bridge way up high (bridge) Battle Sky |

Aan de boom in de wind hing Hij Negen dagen en negen nachten Drank en voedsel ontbeerde Hij Een beproeving van al zijn krachten Aan de boom in de wind hing Hij Gegeven aan Zichzelf door Zijn speer Omlaag turend in peilloze diepten Greep hij de runen en keerde weer Leesbare, krachtige, sterke staven Geritst door de grootste der goden Leesbare, krachtige, sterke staven Gekleurd door de heer der doden Ons Zijn volk schonk Hij de runen Rood kleurden wij de heilige staven Eeuwenlang wierpen wij de runen Gadegeslagen door twee zwarte raven Lang werd ons geloof wreed onderdrukt Toch bleven de runen altijd bewaard Door Zijn gruwelijk offer verkregen Sleutels tot onze verloren aard Der staven wijsheid zal ons leiden De oude kennis zal onze zielen laven De macht der heilige runen hervonden Weer werpen wij de sacrale staven |

The walls of the city - are slowly crumbling Once again Europe’s fate - hangs by a thread For two long months - the siege has now lasted The garrison weakened - filled with dread Another bloody chapter will be written In the endless struggle ’tween east and west Like so many times in history before The steel of Europe shall be put to the test Supplies depleted, in the grip of fatigue Desperation behind old strong walls Bonfires suddenly light the night sky The allies arrive before the city falls (chorus) The fires of destiny burn in the night For freedom, for glory, for Europe we fight The enemy forces shall meet their fates They shall not breach the city’s gates Never before were we pushed back so far Destiny unfolds on this field today September 12 never forgotten Ten thousand enemies shall we slay Like the Spartans millennia before us We stand against invading eastern hordes They fight well with all their might Yet shall fall ’neath our shining swords (chorus) Infantry and cavalry now attack the enemy A massive bloody battle that lasts all day The crescent moon is engulfed by clouds By nightfall our foe is forced to give way Our foes destroyed, running for their lives A victory achieved unheard of before Many the spoils of this glorious triumph Centuries ahead shall see much war (chorus) The fires of destiny burn in the night For freedom, for glory, for Europe we fight The enemy forces have met their fates They did not breach the city’s gates The fires of destiny burn in the night For freedom, for glory, for Europe we fight The enemy’s expansion brought to a halt The steel of Europe withstood their assault |

Into the noblest blood the Master’s seed was sown Married to gain Hungary’s throne Evil’s incarnation, supreme in her day Her deeds beyond words to her people’s dismay More than six times a hundred maidens fair Lured into the countess’ castle unaware Dark lady of Hungary obsessed by blood The virgins trapped in Hell cries in vain to god Shed your blood oh virgins pure To feed the wrath of Satan’s whore You’ve been chosen to let your blood To make the mistress live for evermore Gallons of blood she took for vampiric abuse And for years nobody dared to accuse But too many virgins vanished on her road to despair Butchered by cruel servants in the countess’ lair Parents wailing while their daughters disappear Her people for ages dwelt in terror and fear Until at last she was caught and tried Convicted and lacking her bloody diet she died Cut off the source of virgins pure Who fed the wrath of Satan’s whore Yet deep within her castle’s endless halls Linger still Erzsébet’s desperate calls |

5. | Ritual of the Seven Priests | 04:14 | Show lyrics |
Blasting through the blackened sky Knowing not but knowing still Lost all sense of place and time Yet filled with an evil thrill Awakening in the black cathedral Departing the dimensional gates No need for any explanation Knowing the task that awaits Full moon shines in utter darkness The hour of midnight drawing near Tonight 13 the bells will chime Tonight the holy tremble in fear Behold the 7 innocent maidens Behold the 7 velvet altars Behold the 7 southern crosses Behold . . . Behold the 7 evil priests Behold the 7 silver chalices Behold the 7 silver daggers Behold . . . Sacrifices have been made, thunder and lightning appear Rejoice in hideous blasphemy, know that the time is near The chosen hail the Master well, lusting for hate and scorn Crying out in evil ecstasy, "the Antichrist is born!" |

6. | De gift der goden | 04:43 | Show lyrics |
In tijden reeds lang vervlogen Aanbaden wij onze ware goden Gebroken werd de Romeinse macht Met moed en eer, met trouw en kracht Maar door ons koude staal verslagen Bleven d’indringers ons belagen Met een vals geloof en zonder gevecht Onze voorvad’ren alsnog geknecht Waarlijk, de godenschemering volbracht Hamer verruild voor kruis, trots voor onmacht Maar Hij die voor wijsheid een oog heeft gelaten Wist dat Zijn volk hun goden zouden verlaten En Hij die doolt wilde hen behoeden voor deze val Dus brouwden de goden een magische gift in hun hal Om het oude geloof diep verborgen in hun zielen te bewaren Ook al zou de Christus heersen, vele en vele jaren (chorus) De gift der goden Overleefde de doden De gift der goden Weerstond de geboden Talloze eeuwen gekomen en gegaan De gift heeft barre tijden doorstaan Geslacht op geslacht doorgegeven De verborgen machten zullen leven Het valse geloof teruggedrongen Oeroude liederen wederom gezongen Het heidense vuur zal weer branden De tempels herrijzen in onze landen (chorus) |

7. | Hell’s Rock & Roll | 04:20 | Show lyrics |
The devil sat down To hear the gospel choir It made him sick But kindled a desire To have His own music Hymns sung to Him Music for the dark Songs of sin So the devil inspired Some long-haired men To dress in black And play on ten With razor guitars And thundering bass With pounding drums And screams like crazed (chorus) Heavy Metal - Hell’s rock & roll Black Metal - Hell’s rock & roll Heavy Metal - Hell’s rock & roll Black Metal - Hell’s rock & roll Now the devil sits down To hear the metal band It makes Him smile Evil made a stand So we play on Possessed by Hell We just can’t stop It’s the metal spell (chorus) |

When nothing was all I was already in the void I was, am and shall be When you have long been destroyed My names are feared by the weak But the strong always worship me I am darkness and bring you light I am slavery and set you free I inspire the chosen elite Of your miserable human race Who achieve works of greatness Who dare look into my face Many of you deny me blindly Because you don’t dare pray to me I am death and therefore life Without me you wouldn’t be I am the pain in the heart of him Whose name I cannot speak I am the terror of the pious The vilest horrors of the meek I am eternal hatred I am fire and I am ice I have thousands of names I only laugh at your puny cries I expose the white-light hypocrisy But knowledge has a price You are man, you are nothing Worship me or perish in lies |

Ziet het verleden en ken de toekomst Wat eens was zal wederom zijn Een man loopt door het woud Zijn haar is kort, gehuld in bruine pij Op zijn borst een houten kruis Een vijand, een indringer, dat is hij! Hij spreekt over een vreemde god Hij spreekt van vrede en vergeven Maar kapt onze Wodanseik Bonifatius zal niet lang meer leven Spoedig voelt d’indringer onze toorn Een bloedige overval zonder genade Zijn heilige boek biedt geen bescherming Tegen onze barbaarse zwaarden De prediker der leugens is geslagen Met hem al zijn metgezellen Na bloed vloeit bier, een vreugdevuur Laat dit allen doorvertellen Maar wee! de predikers blijven komen Beschermd door grote troepen soldaten Doop of dood wordt onze keuze O! hebben de goden ons verlaten? Al dit gebeurde lang geleden Na meer dan 1000 jaren pijn Zijn wij terug om af te rekenen Wat eens was zal wederom zijn! |

Those who follow the ’celestial light’ Enslave their souls to illusions Self-denial fed by holy fright Righteous compulsion where Yahweh reigns False prophets preach ancient fears Will thy soul be free from chains?

1. | Heilig vuur | 05:31 | Show lyrics |
Eeuwen geleden baden onze voorvad’ren Tot machtige, woeste, glorieuze Goden Zij leefden trots met het zwaard in de hand Nog onbekend met de woestijngeboden Wodan schonk hen de machtige runen Frey gaf hen vruchtbare akkers te ploegen Donar beschermde hen tegen de reuzen Naar geen vreemde wil lieten zij zich voegen (chorus) Heilig vuur – het vuur van de Goden Heilig vuur – vreet aan de geboden Heilig vuur – verlicht onze zielen Heilig vuur – voor hen die vielen De Azen en Wanen wachtte een wreed lot Toen de slaven van het kruis noordwaarts togen Om hun ‘blijde boodschap’ te verspreiden De trotse heidenen door hen voorgelogen Uiteindelijk werden de fiere heidenen gedwongen Het woestijngeloof te accepteren en zich te laten dopen De Azen en Wanen zouden worden vergeten Nadat de christenen hun tempels lieten slopen (chorus) Maar de herinnering aan de oude Goden bleef In sprookjes, in ‘mythen’ en aanverwante zaken De Goden leidden eeuwenlang een slapend bestaan Nu is de tijd gekomen om hen te doen ontwaken Het vreemde geloof is zwak en ziek geworden Opnieuw weerklinken de namen der oude Goden Zij zullen weer hun rechtmatige plaatsen innemen En heersen over de levenden en de doden (chorus) Tempels der Azen en Wanen zullen herrijzen Groter en glorieuzer dan in het verre verleden Majestueuzer dan de allergrootste kerken Duizenden jaren zullen daar weerklinken gebeden Het geloof aan de oude Goden zal triomferen Tijdens de Wilde Jacht zal Wodan weer rijden Donars hamer zal weer donder ontketenen Miljoenen zullen wederom het oude geloof belijden (chorus) |

Black Duncan recovered himself for a moment Then he took his Lochaber-axe He swayed his arm in the air Dashed forward, and with a last fierce blow He split in two the thick skull of Rannoch. The fight had ended The storm took full possession of the inn again The slain Rannoch was dragged away The Duncan taken care of And the game continued. Few days later Black Duncan rode forth again The fierce gale had passed over As always, there was still a fresh Nordic wind But the skies were clear and blue with only a few white clouds There was still a long way to go. |

Hear the reap of Armageddon, see the fire scorch the sky Watch the sorcerer awaken, millennium of evil dreams Altars red of evil rites, faithful feel their glory near Possessed warriors go berserk, blood reddens the moon Ancient lords return to earth, now evil finally prevails Mortals run but cannot hide, pray to god to no avail Total destruction delights demons, satisfies the Antichrist Witches sing, evil chorus, mankind surely is now . . . . . .

Seven blazing gates to cross Before I reach my goal Seven purifying porches For my parting soul After life my soul takes flight Into the eternal night Heading down the blazing lane To Satan’s promising domain Seven blazing gates...... Crossing the fires of darkness Raise the excluding spell Passing the thresholds of timeless Leaping right into Hell Treelike flames surround my spirit On its way so darkly lit A road untrodden, all floating round. Underneath no solid ground Seven blazing gates...... Crossing the fires...... Soon I will behold the highest Lowest prince in all His might I will join His ranks infernal And worship Him in this inferno |

The druid slept under the oak A lone raven whispered evil words Called to Lugh lord of battle Followed the spear to hail & kill Hordes of Gog & Magog in the sky Under the sign into war we marched Filled the forests with blood of priests Defended our race with honour & pride Slaughtering disciples of holy lies Pain we never felt only hate Protecting our secret country in fury But too many liars came to our lands Facing defeat with unbowed heads For centuries the light of day they ruled But in the dark night Celtic rites prevailed Now the druid has awakened Lost sword found the raven flies again Sons of coldness & woods return Our ancestors will be avenged at last Again we march under the sign Once more soil will mix with blood Deny the preachers of love & peace Join the proud legions to hail & kill Days of darkness & evil await us In storms and rain we fight again Showing no mercy to cowards and traitors Out of chaos new order to arise Pure tribes will ride into glory again The millennium of light soon to fall The Celtic rites will now prevail forever |

Black Duncan recovered himself for a moment Then he took his Lochaber-axe He swayed his arm in the air Dashed forward, and with a last fierce blow He split in two the thick skull of Rannoch. The fight had ended The storm took full possession of the inn again The slain Rannoch was dragged away The Duncan taken care of And the game continued. Few days later Black Duncan rode forth again The fierce gale had passed over As always, there was still a fresh Nordic wind But the skies were clear and blue with only a few white clouds There was still a long way to go. |

2. | Aleidis | 03:09 | Show lyrics |
I came to the old house in the dark night I felt only a dark sensation, but no fright The strange old man’s words ran through my mind In this unholy place, what would I find? I entered the mansion, thinking I was alone I saw a strange, ancient gravestone Suddenly a woman’s voice whispered my name Or was the old man playing a silly game? Aleidis came to me unimaginably beautiful Dressed in white, while the moon was full Suddenly I felt overcome by an unholy desire But was she just young or an ages old vampire? Maybe she was just a portrait, or a figment of my sick mind But whatever the truth, she was the best wife I’d ever find I loved her in a way I had never even known But would the blood my love needed soon be my own? She used to kill animals and suck their blood She belonged to Satan, her soul lost by God One day at last, she made my neck her unholy teeth feel Now we are joined for eternity, but is this all real? |

3. | The Wrath of Satan’s Whore | 08:28 | Show lyrics |
Into the noblest blood the Master’s seed was sown Married to gain Hungary’s throne Evil’s incarnation, supreme in her day Her deeds beyond words to her people’s dismay More than six times a hundred maidens fair Lured into the countess’ castle unaware Dark lady of Hungary obsessed by blood The virgins trapped in Hell cries in vain to god Shed your blood oh virgins pure To feed the wrath of Satan’s whore You’ve been chosen to let your blood To make the mistress live for evermore Gallons of blood she took for vampiric abuse And for years nobody dared to accuse But too many virgins vanished on her road to despair Butchered by cruel servants in the countess’ lair Parents wailing while their daughters disappear Her people for ages dwelt in terror and fear Until at last she was caught and tried Convicted and lacking her bloody diet she died Cut off the source of virgins pure Who fed the wrath of Satan’s whore Yet deep within her castle’s endless halls Linger still Erzsébet’s desperate calls |

When nothing was all I was already in the void I was, am and shall be When you have long been destroyed My names are feared by the weak But the strong always worship me I am darkness and bring you light I am slavery and set you free I inspire the chosen elite Of your miserable human race Who achieve works of greatness Who dare look into my face Many of you deny me blindly Because you don’t dare pray to me I am death and therefore life Without me you wouldn’t be I am the pain in the heart of him Whose name I cannot speak I am the terror of the pious The vilest horrors of the meek I am eternal hatred I am fire and I am ice I have thousands of names I only laugh at your puny cries I expose the white-light hypocrisy But knowledge has a price You are man, you are nothing Worship me or perish in lies |

5. | Blood on My Lips (The Silent Rose of Sin) | 06:11 | Show lyrics |
She was so beautiful Her memory still haunts me She was so innocent I will never again be free I still see her lovely face I still see the gentle curve of her hips I still feel the touch of her soft, milk-white skin Every time again when there’s blood on my lips Dusk has arrived yet another time I awake and leave my coffin In the dark I hear an old bell chime Sip from a chalice drained from a virgin Countless centuries ago I burnt the rose But it has forever stayed with me Symbol of happiness to which I came so close Alas, I know I never ever will be free Was it a gift of pure love, or only a whim? It was a present of a treacherous kind Transformed into a token of sin Nevermore to fade from my tortured mind The rose still fills the castle’s dark wing Fear, respect and wealth have been my toll But its vague images still are disturbing Is some spark of light still hidden in my soul? I have served Him very long and very well But once there must have been another path Since then I’ve gone too far on the road to Hell To be able to stray from the way of wrath Even if I could I would still not betray Though thus I will never enjoy peace of mind But I know I am destined to go this way And on the opposite path only lies I’d find But still the rose keeps haunting me I am sure it’ll never ever go away I must carry its burden for all eternity Most horrible when asleep during the day |

The return of our beloved Master Is what we desire so much To lead us His children in most unholy reign And the weakling shalt be trembled in the dust Sheltered under the claw We’re gathered to summon our lord In evil praise we sin For the return of the Horned Our efforts are answered at last The ground opens to spew forth Surrounded by sulphuric flames From the abyss He doth rise Now His evil reign unfolds As foretold by visions ages old Upon His children His spell He doth cast Forever in indulgence we shalt live Sheltered under the claw We bathe in the presence of our lord In evil praise we sing The gospel of the Horned |

7. | Ere a Bitter End | 08:57 | Show lyrics |
Created by an insane god For only the purpose of worship He was the first to develop mind And in his heart grew rebellion He loathed his kin as they do as they’re told His own sacrifice is half-hearted And so his offerings were rejected by God In favour of his feebler brother Anger burned hot and strong was his fist He killed with one single effort His own flesh now cold he left to the beasts So came murder upon mankind "Cain, where is thine brother?" Asked by God he was So he did lie to him And did commit another sin Marked for eternity he was The sign of Cain branded on his forehead Cast out into the void he was His shining blue eyes became the murderer’s sign Banished forever to roam the earth Immortality was granted to him To give time to think about his sins As wives he took his sisters sinfully So his seed is still upon mankind For killing in rage He is punished to live Cast out by his kin He leads a life of sin A wolf among sheep he is Among us he’s still though his vision has changed A life is but a flicker of a candle For one like him the joys of life turn dim As aeons repeat over and over The terror of seeing loved ones age and die Is familiar to him, he already lives in Hell But stubbornly he fights to forever stay alive Denying the torments of God’s verdict So he’s stalking the ages Forever he’ll be there Threatening fate With blood smeared fist A lifestyle dictated by his nature |

Cum nihil omnia erat Iam in vacuo existitis Ille erat, est eritque Siquando omnia destructa Nomines ab imbecillis veriti Sed fortes semper Hunc adorunt Obscuritas etsi lumen gerit Servitus etsi liberat nos Mors et igitur vita Odium perpetuum est Ignis glaciesque Sibi nomines mille sunt Illum adora |

When the moon is full oh let him cry Kill the priest, the priest must die Smash his face, break his bones Let morbid laughter drown his moans Slave of lies, puppet of god Eat his heart, drink his blood Burning hate will conquer love See the wolf rip to shreds the dove When the moon is full oh let him cry Kill the priest, the priest must die Smash his face, break his bones Let morbid laughter drown his moans |

Into the noblest blood the Master’s seed was sown Married to gain Hungary’s throne Evil’s incarnation, supreme in her day Her deeds beyond words to her people’s dismay More than six times a hundred maidens fair Lured into the countess’ castle unaware Dark lady of Hungary obsessed by blood The virgins trapped in Hell cries in vain to god Shed your blood oh virgins pure To feed the wrath of Satan’s whore You’ve been chosen to let your blood To make the mistress live for evermore Gallons of blood she took for vampiric abuse And for years nobody dared to accuse But too many virgins vanished on her road to despair Butchered by cruel servants in the countess’ lair Parents wailing while their daughters disappear Her people for ages dwelt in terror and fear Until at last she was caught and tried Convicted and lacking her bloody diet she died Cut off the source of virgins pure Who fed the wrath of Satan’s whore Yet deep within her castle’s endless halls Linger still Erzsébet’s desperate calls |

8. | Blood on My Lips (The Silent Rose of Sin) | 06:11 | Show lyrics |
She was so beautiful Her memory still haunts me She was so innocent I will never again be free I still see her lovely face I still see the gentle curve of her hips I still feel the touch of her soft, milk-white skin Every time again when there’s blood on my lips Dusk has arrived yet another time I awake and leave my coffin In the dark I hear an old bell chime Sip from a chalice drained from a virgin Countless centuries ago I burnt the rose But it has forever stayed with me Symbol of happiness to which I came so close Alas, I know I never ever will be free Was it a gift of pure love, or only a whim? It was a present of a treacherous kind Transformed into a token of sin Nevermore to fade from my tortured mind The rose still fills the castle’s dark wing Fear, respect and wealth have been my toll But its vague images still are disturbing Is some spark of light still hidden in my soul? I have served Him very long and very well But once there must have been another path Since then I’ve gone too far on the road to Hell To be able to stray from the way of wrath Even if I could I would still not betray Though thus I will never enjoy peace of mind But I know I am destined to go this way And on the opposite path only lies I’d find But still the rose keeps haunting me I am sure it’ll never ever go away I must carry its burden for all eternity Most horrible when asleep during the day |

2. | On the Wings of Azazel | 03:58 | Show lyrics |
Those who follow the ’celestial light’ Enslave their souls to illusions Self-denial fed by holy fright Righteous compulsion where Yahweh reigns False prophets preach ancient fears Will thy soul be free from chains? (chorus) On the wings of Azazel Those who fear shall perish Across dimensional boundaries Into the dark reality Those who embrace the ’mournful gloom’ Dare to see beyond false prophecies In Lilith’s night shine shrines of doom Walk in the shadow of the Goat Enter the fire of Moloch’s empire Join the chosen, swear the oath (chorus) |

My grave feels cold But the flame of hate Still burns inside I cannot pass the Gate Trapped in this void The gods set me free To avenge the forgotten To avenge them and me Invincible sword by Hephæstus forged placed in my hands On the eight-legged steed of Woden himself I will roam the lands Return from the depths to fight the world, I will spare none Those who denied me, lied and deceived soon will be gone (chorus) I was forgotten Now feel my wrath Blood of my enemies Drenches my path Pools of blood will shower from my blade, steel doth prevail Slay their servants take their daughters and wives, like a fierce gale Cowards and traitors meet their just fate, fall by my sword My holy quest leaves me to rule, undead overlord (chorus) I’ll wipe out the traces left in my world by the crucified fool I’ll light again torches of old when the moon’s full Shrines of my forefathers long since forgotten I will restore I’ll lead my people back again to the ancient lore (chorus) |

Give me your soul Welcome to my chambers, darling Yes, it’s cold in here, in absence of God But don’t be afraid, it’s not just your flesh I want And don’t you think I’m after your blood Give me your soul Welcome to my Hell, darling Yes, I do want your flesh And yes, I will drink your blood But most of all I crave your soul Give me your soul |

6. | Creation | 02:24 | Show lyrics |
Ere dawn of man His power great Wrought armour strong and grievous hate To welcome mortal life on earth When last the dust of time giveth birth To His ill-will to bend their ways To shape their doom! To lead astray the children fair Formed by Creator’s hands For in the North ’neath hills of stone In caverns black was made a throne By fires illuminated underground That winds of ice with moaning sound Made flare and flicker in dark smoke; A place that mortals feared and choked A place that mortals feared and choked When shadowed by His ghastly claw Lo! Wisdom dark doth have the few Who dare listen to His tune Afore His throne His servants ever shalt they be To share His fate yet never to be free Alas, no thrall doth dwell within these endless halls The wish to rule has brought them forth Shapeth they are the chosen few To spread the word, to rule a world anew A vast design brewed in His evil lair A bane o’er God’s own children fair! For their master to gaze on in utter woe The wrath and power of his hidden foe To bring creation to a fiery end! To a fiery end! |

7. | A Warlord’s Swansong | 06:55 | Show lyrics |
High in a tower, far away from daily life And old man sits on his throne The room is dim and you can hardly hear The city that spreads down below Dreams of faded glory haunt his memory The vultures are waiting, he knows it too well! And mournful he wishes he could return To days of youth and to shatter the world . . . His aching limbs remind him There’s a price that’s soon to pay And this time his power won’t save him From the reaper who’s after his soul . . . Oh, how hard it is for a warrior To bear the spears Old Age throws When the way to death - which he never feared! Is paved with misery and pain . . . Looking back, he doth ask himself: "Whom did I do all this for?" His own sons did fall long years ago Sacrificed on his path to fame . . . Remembrance leaves him smiling For moments the warmth of life hath burned But then his knowledge doth return There’s a price that’s soon to pay . . . Uneasy he shifts around on his throne Death’s icy grip, it’s ever so near! What no one suspects, he doth know it well For the Horned One’s assistance he’ll soon have to pay In early days of mindless youth Light-hearted was his oath And though he did serve very well He’s still afraid to go . . . For no longer can he set the rules He’s soon to play the Master’s game And that thought leaves him worrying About the price that’s soon to pay . . . The screams of the dying, the wailing of widows Yes, he sent many souls to burn! The hatred he brewed for the minds of men Is the fuel of the fires of Hell! He washed the streets with the blood of his victims Not once, but wherever he came And the thought of their souls serving him soon Doth make him shiver with joy . . . And no longer is he fearful With pleasure he will heed the Call The loving presence of the Master Maketh this price a joy . . . |

9. | Chapel of Doom | 05:20 | Show lyrics |
A morbid organ fills the chapel of doom With horrible sounds, litanies of gloom Oh! Lady of darkness, the Goat is so near Are you in trance, or filled with fear? Are you a victim, of an unspeakable rite Or a black priestess sacrificing at night Maybe you are trapped within a spell Who will ever know, who will ever tell? (chorus) Where must I travel? Where must I go? To find your soul, or maybe my own? Will I find you where eagles fly? Or to find you, must I die? Will you fly on the first night of May To the Harz or even further away? Will I ever be able to set you free Or will you be damned eternally? Caught in a spell outside my life I beg of thee, Master, let her be my wife! The horns, the sign, the blood, the tears We all walk in shadows of ancient fears (chorus) |

10. | All the Master’s Children (A Pilgrim at the Gate of Sin) | 14:06 | Show lyrics |
Gazing into the Transylvanian mist Lifted before me were the veils of time An ancient force of darkness guided my soul Whispering a cold, mysterious rhyme Thus I caught a glimpse of a long forgotten past Reflected in the silver circle way up high I froze in the fog struck by these horrors Unaware if I would live or die Through rites by mortals long forgotten One with darkness in wind and rain Engulfed by echoes of a distant past That stilled my loneliness and pain Ancient castles, demons and witches Lost in the fog between joy and fear Twisted roads and invisible tombstones The smell of purest evil so near Then a black coach drawn by black horses Appeared through the fog without a sound The horses unlike any earthly beings The coach surely for Hell was bound Filled with fog, the night dark and cold On through the red mist His children fly Those whose souls have long been sold Have heard His call, His ancient cry A silver circle ’midst the blackened sky The full moon to guide their paths Witches and wolves, warlocks all fly All of His creatures of wrath All the Master’s children...we are lechery All the Master’s children...we are gluttony All the Master’s children...we are usury All the Master’s children...we are avarice All the Master’s children...we are sloth All the Master’s children...we are anger All the Master’s children...we are pride All the Master’s children I was shown the splendour of Satan Made love to the Countess in eternal lust The wisdom of ages dawned on my mind The cross must be turned to ashes to dust I saw a sword covering three wolf teeth On a blood red crest like an abysmal gate Shadows from the depths strengthened my soul To wield the powers of darkness and hate Dawn approached the Carpathian mountains My soul returned from the astral plane To ride again the four winds of the earth To blaspheme and conquer in the Master’s name |

In tijden reeds lang vervlogen Aanbaden wij onze ware goden Gebroken werd de Romeinse macht Met moed en eer, met trouw en kracht Maar door ons koude staal verslagen Bleven d’indringers ons belagen Met een vals geloof en zonder gevecht Onze voorvad’ren alsnog geknecht Waarlijk, de godenschemering volbracht Hamer verruild voor kruis, trots voor onmacht Maar Hij die voor wijsheid een oog heeft gelaten Wist dat Zijn volk hun goden zouden verlaten En Hij die doolt wilde hen behoeden voor deze val Dus brouwden de goden een magische gift in hun hal Om het oude geloof diep verborgen in hun zielen te bewaren Ook al zou de Christus heersen, vele en vele jaren (chorus) De gift der goden Overleefde de doden De gift der goden Weerstond de geboden Talloze eeuwen gekomen en gegaan De gift heeft barre tijden doorstaan Geslacht op geslacht doorgegeven De verborgen machten zullen leven Het valse geloof teruggedrongen Oeroude liederen wederom gezongen Het heidense vuur zal weer branden De tempels herrijzen in onze landen (chorus) |

Give me your soul Welcome to my chambers, darling Yes, it’s cold in here, in absence of God But don’t be afraid, it’s not just your flesh I want And don’t you think I’m after your blood Give me your soul Welcome to my Hell, darling Yes, I do want your flesh And yes, I will drink your blood But most of all I crave your soul Give me your soul |

6. | Creation | 02:24 | Show lyrics |
Ere dawn of man His power great Wrought armour strong and grievous hate To welcome mortal life on earth When last the dust of time giveth birth To His ill-will to bend their ways To shape their doom! To lead astray the children fair Formed by Creator’s hands For in the North ’neath hills of stone In caverns black was made a throne By fires illuminated underground That winds of ice with moaning sound Made flare and flicker in dark smoke; A place that mortals feared and choked A place that mortals feared and choked When shadowed by His ghastly claw Lo! Wisdom dark doth have the few Who dare listen to His tune Afore His throne His servants ever shalt they be To share His fate yet never to be free Alas, no thrall doth dwell within these endless halls The wish to rule has brought them forth Shapeth they are the chosen few To spread the word, to rule a world anew A vast design brewed in His evil lair A bane o’er God’s own children fair! For their master to gaze on in utter woe The wrath and power of his hidden foe To bring creation to a fiery end! To a fiery end! |

7. | A Warlord’s Swansong | 06:55 | Show lyrics |
High in a tower, far away from daily life And old man sits on his throne The room is dim and you can hardly hear The city that spreads down below Dreams of faded glory haunt his memory The vultures are waiting, he knows it too well! And mournful he wishes he could return To days of youth and to shatter the world . . . His aching limbs remind him There’s a price that’s soon to pay And this time his power won’t save him From the reaper who’s after his soul . . . Oh, how hard it is for a warrior To bear the spears Old Age throws When the way to death - which he never feared! Is paved with misery and pain . . . Looking back, he doth ask himself: "Whom did I do all this for?" His own sons did fall long years ago Sacrificed on his path to fame . . . Remembrance leaves him smiling For moments the warmth of life hath burned But then his knowledge doth return There’s a price that’s soon to pay . . . Uneasy he shifts around on his throne Death’s icy grip, it’s ever so near! What no one suspects, he doth know it well For the Horned One’s assistance he’ll soon have to pay In early days of mindless youth Light-hearted was his oath And though he did serve very well He’s still afraid to go . . . For no longer can he set the rules He’s soon to play the Master’s game And that thought leaves him worrying About the price that’s soon to pay . . . The screams of the dying, the wailing of widows Yes, he sent many souls to burn! The hatred he brewed for the minds of men Is the fuel of the fires of Hell! He washed the streets with the blood of his victims Not once, but wherever he came And the thought of their souls serving him soon Doth make him shiver with joy . . . And no longer is he fearful With pleasure he will heed the Call The loving presence of the Master Maketh this price a joy . . . |

1. | Chapel of Doom | 05:20 | Show lyrics |
A morbid organ fills the chapel of doom With horrible sounds, litanies of gloom Oh! Lady of darkness, the Goat is so near Are you in trance, or filled with fear? Are you a victim, of an unspeakable rite Or a black priestess sacrificing at night Maybe you are trapped within a spell Who will ever know, who will ever tell? (chorus) Where must I travel? Where must I go? To find your soul, or maybe my own? Will I find you where eagles fly? Or to find you, must I die? Will you fly on the first night of May To the Harz or even further away? Will I ever be able to set you free Or will you be damned eternally? Caught in a spell outside my life I beg of thee, Master, let her be my wife! The horns, the sign, the blood, the tears We all walk in shadows of ancient fears (chorus) |

2. | All the Master’s Children | 14:06 | Show lyrics |
Gazing into the Transylvanian mist Lifted before me were the veils of time An ancient force of darkness guided my soul Whispering a cold, mysterious rhyme Thus I caught a glimpse of a long forgotten past Reflected in the silver circle way up high I froze in the fog struck by these horrors Unaware if I would live or die Through rites by mortals long forgotten One with darkness in wind and rain Engulfed by echoes of a distant past That stilled my loneliness and pain Ancient castles, demons and witches Lost in the fog between joy and fear Twisted roads and invisible tombstones The smell of purest evil so near Then a black coach drawn by black horses Appeared through the fog without a sound The horses unlike any earthly beings The coach surely for Hell was bound Filled with fog, the night dark and cold On through the red mist His children fly Those whose souls have long been sold Have heard His call, His ancient cry A silver circle ’midst the blackened sky The full moon to guide their paths Witches and wolves, warlocks all fly All of His creatures of wrath All the Master’s children...we are lechery All the Master’s children...we are gluttony All the Master’s children...we are usury All the Master’s children...we are avarice All the Master’s children...we are sloth All the Master’s children...we are anger All the Master’s children...we are pride All the Master’s children I was shown the splendour of Satan Made love to the Countess in eternal lust The wisdom of ages dawned on my mind The cross must be turned to ashes to dust I saw a sword covering three wolf teeth On a blood red crest like an abysmal gate Shadows from the depths strengthened my soul To wield the powers of darkness and hate Dawn approached the Carpathian mountains My soul returned from the astral plane To ride again the four winds of the earth To blaspheme and conquer in the Master’s name |

At last existence to be seen As it has always been Life and death always an illusion The end brings only more confusion Chaos, the truthful answer why And even chaos itself a lie Good is evil, black is white The dark is light, the day is night The end brings no escape A new beginning will take shape Impossible to annihilate eternity Slaves to existence we’ll always be |

8. | Idolatry | 03:54 | Show lyrics |
You mark me an idolater Heathen, pagan, fetishist You don’t see a human being But a barbaric Antichrist Safe inside your ivory tower Of holiness and intolerance Trapped inside a maze of lies Such pathetic arrogance What makes your god the only god and mine revolting pagan idols? What makes your altar a sacred place and mine a scene of horrible rites? You eat your god you cannibal so why don’t you look at yourself Your god a carpenter nailed to wood if that’s not an idol then what is? You don’t really believe your lies, deep down human you are still You need your holy fantasy but strength not from within brings chains You are created in the image of your god but do you think that he grows old? You claim you talk to your god but do you think the almighty listens? My gods are so different They are in my blood They do not enslave me Like your tyrant god My gods are companions On the solitary path called life They come when I call Support me in my strife I hail to them in my glory Entrust them with my pain Call them graven images Your proselytism is in vain |

Hoort het verhaal van Radbod Belager der middeleeuwse kerk De machtige koning der Friezen Een groot krijger, trots en sterk Steeds belaagd door predikers Bleef hij een heidense zondaar Doch eenmaal raakte hij verstrikt In het web van een leugenaar "Wanneer ongedoopt gaat gij naar de Hel Een oord vol vlammen en eeuwige pijn Doch gedoopt gaat gij naar de Hemel Waar gij voor eeuwig gelukkig zult zijn" En Radbod liet zich toen verleiden De christenen zijn ziel te laten winnen Doch reeds in het doopwater staand Schoot hem nog een vraag te binnen "In die Hemel zegt gij is eeuwig geluk Maar de trotse koningen van Wodans lijn Mij geliefde voorvad´ren waar zijn zij? Men zegt dat zij in Walhalla zijn" En de prediker antwoordde hem direct Dat Walhalla was een heidens waanidee En zijn immers ongedoopte voorvad’ren Brandden nu in ’s duivels vlammenzee Daarop stapte Radbod uit het heilige water En weigerde alsnog zich te laten dopen "Ik ben liever in de Hel bij mijn voorvad’ren Dan met jullie in de Hemel rond te lopen" Vanaf toen was de koning nog feller In zijn haat tegen het christendom Hij brandde nog vele kerken plat Menig prediker kwam door zijn hand om En toen hij uiteindelijk moest sterven Deed hij dat met opgeheven hoofd Hij had zijn voorvad’ren niet verraden En immer aan de oude machten geloofd |

Deep in the highlands the creature he stands Wicked and evil in shadows he hides Thunder and lightning are lashing the hills This night the Duncan he will ride again Returned to the world from the fires of Hell His eyes are ablaze see the horns on his head Mounting his steed that is black as the night Tonight steel and power shall triumph again Back from the depths after hundreds of years Evil incarnate he shall roam the lands Raping the women and killing the men Slaughtering children and eating their flesh Bathing in blood he doth howl with the wolves Mankind shall suffer his brutal revenge The hatred of ages unleashed upon man Total destruction the triumph of wrath Highland victory The banners of evil are waving again God and his bastard are crying in Heaven The Duncan triumphant is masturbating Spilling his seed over corpses and ruins The Master is smiling his vengeance complete The utter perversion of Yahweh’s creation Darkness eternal now covers the lands The chosen forever to bathe in His glory Highland victory |

Welcoming the virgins fair, to live a noble life In the castle known to all - the Count’s infernal wife She invites the peasants with endless lavish foods But, when evening spreads it wings, she rapes them of their blood Countess Bathory Countess Bathory All day long the virgins sit and feast on endless meals The Countess laughs and sips her wine - her skin doth crack and peel But when nightime fills the air one must pay the price The Countess takes her midnight bath with blood that once gave life Countess Bathory Countess Bathory Living in her self styled Hell, the Countess dressed in black Life’s so distant - death’s so near - no blood to turn time back The castle walls are closing in, she’s crippled now with age Welcomes death with open arms - the reaper turns the page Countess Bathory Countess Bathory |

The warriors are gathered the battle is nigh Swords they do shine in the light of the moon Banners are waving the fires are lit A river of blood will soon flow through the wood The clashing of metal on metal is heard Steel cuts through flesh and bone mercilessly Spears are flying and hatchets are swinging Tonight steel decides who will live who will die Thunder and lightning start lashing the night The rain it doth mix with the blood and the sweat Few are still standing yet battle goes on Fight in the storm ´till the last foe is slain Standing on corpses the warriors cheer Hailing the Master who gave victory Steel did prevail so did metal and might The powers of darkness have conquered the light |

We are all the Master’s children Hard as iron, strong as steel We don’t worship the false prophet To no mortal man we kneel Working for the Master’s glory Praying for the Antichrist’s birth Questioning all that is not questioned Our mission to create Hell on earth Hell on earth We are all the Master’s children For us there is no other way But to obey His every command So in darkness we do pray: "Our Father, Who art in Hell Hallowed be Thy Name Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done On earth as it is in Hell" On earth as it is in Hell Hell on earth We are all the Master’s children Standing proud with banners high Where in obedience others bow We don’t follow but ask "why?" One day our time will come When mediocrity is no longer law When pride no longer is a sin And people see what they never saw On earth as it is in Hell |

8. | Idolatry | 03:54 | Show lyrics |
You mark me an idolater Heathen, pagan, fetishist You don’t see a human being But a barbaric Antichrist Safe inside your ivory tower Of holiness and intolerance Trapped inside a maze of lies Such pathetic arrogance What makes your god the only god and mine revolting pagan idols? What makes your altar a sacred place and mine a scene of horrible rites? You eat your god you cannibal so why don’t you look at yourself Your god a carpenter nailed to wood if that’s not an idol then what is? You don’t really believe your lies, deep down human you are still You need your holy fantasy but strength not from within brings chains You are created in the image of your god but do you think that he grows old? You claim you talk to your god but do you think the almighty listens? My gods are so different They are in my blood They do not enslave me Like your tyrant god My gods are companions On the solitary path called life They come when I call Support me in my strife I hail to them in my glory Entrust them with my pain Call them graven images Your proselytism is in vain |

Behold the Wrath of my blazing Steel forged to cleanse you of your life ! Soon I’ll feast on your puny Soul, a reward for Centuries I strove . . . Aeons passed, and long forgotten were your Crimes – or so you thought; Now you gaze at my Fist of Vengeance, Hope for Salvation brought to Naught . . . Feel the Bite of my burning Hate ripping through your very Life; Your prayers to your alien God are but a trifle late – haha ! Now, you little christian Worm ! Behold the Glory of Hell !! You are about to enter my Lair, a Victim of Lord Satan’s Spell . . . Behold the Horror of your own little Hell, the Stake is piled really high; For taking Lives of those who were dear your poor lost mortal Soul shall fry !! Wailing and pleading won’t help a bit, yet I feast on your despairing Cries ! Life Eternal turned on you somehow and in Vain your Saviour died . . . Of Torment unknown your are to learn, in Pain you’ll remember once things really start ! Your terrified Grimace reflects in my Steel, my black Blood boils in satanic Lust; Your guts spilled down the Altar Stairs, a Feast for the Hounds of Hell; A Sacrifice to my Master you are, the dread Lord of this Realm . . . |

Three warriors of Man with Powers so great are chosen to wield the Steel of Wrath. To Glory or Ruin, who is to tell, once the Threads of Fate are woven . . .?

Behold now the desperate Host of Man, struggling to face the Horror of old . . . Sacrifice burnt, the Blades are drawn; Who’s to live and to tell . . . |

In deepest Night, when Sleep does flee and utter Dark does draw its Weave, it chokes my Breath, crams the Heart in my Breast; Squats on my Body like a hot Succubus ! When in burning Pain I roll and turn and fearless I know my last Hour came . . . The Nightwind blows . . . The Candles cease, I let the Nightwind in, let its cold Breeze cool my heated Skin; My tortured Soul lies embraced in its Arms . . . Carry me to foreign Lands ! Show me the Unseen ! On Paths untread – A secret to all save you and the Stars. And may Death be the End, I beseech not to remain when the Nightwind blows . . . Then I let the Nightwind carry me away, my crippled Soul on your Wings so black ! Gliding onto you, I murmur through Shades, whispering gently my Thoughts desperate . . . Learn the Wisdom of Darkness, perceive the Secrets of the Night; Places hidden and Ages lost I roam where only Nightwinds rule . . . Like Sand o’er empty Graves I drift onwards through endless Night and Mist; To Temples of Gods long forgotten I fly, mystical places that demand human Blood . . . (And) Where once Maidens were screaming in Vain, now Monuments are crumbled to Dust that upon the Nightwind floats . . . Along the Weaves through the Void of a Dream I drift towards Death – or so does it seem . . . I wander Caves lit by fierce Dragonfire, the Bond to Life grows diffuse and lighter . . . I smell colours ! I see Emotion, I’m but so alive ! Never I wish to wake nor return from the Realm where only the Nightwind rules . . . |

Countess playing on his stereo Cold beer in hand he’s good to go The true metal life he is leading Breaking the law forever speeding Always overtaking on the right Wimps and posers filled with fright Thousands of tickets fill his trunk He doesn’t care he’s much too drunk Tyrant of the motorway Like a maniac bouncing on his wheel Banging to the tones of metal and steel His speakers produce an awesome sound The wheels of his car leaving the ground Chewing endlessly on candy bars While crashing into other cars The product of Bavarian cooking He’s not fat just healthy-looking Tyrant of the motorway Inviting little girls to take a ride On the back seat they’ll spend the night Perverted and sick he doesn’t like it clean The Bavarian barbarian is rough and mean Always overtaking on the right Wimps and posers filled with fright Thousands of tickets fill his trunk He doesn’t care he’s much too drunk Tyrant of the motorway |

11. | The Legend of the Fall | 13:00 | Show lyrics |
I. THE BEGINNING An angel of light, his glory shining bright His splendour reflecting on Heaven’s golden walls Bathing in God’s image, watching the Creation The praises of the angels filling all of Heaven’s halls But deep within the soul of the brightest of the angels A shadow of doubt begins to grow And His desire for knowledge fans a spark of rebellion So to confront the Creator he does go II. THE QUESTIONING OR THE BIRTH OF SIN Lucifer: “Tell me, thee that knowest all Thee that speaketh “all is well” Is all well, because thou speaketh thus? How are we to know, how to tell?” God: “How darest thou question me I who created thee and all Thee that exists only by my whim Bow before me or thou shalt fall!” Lucifer: “Thy right to judge me I deny I did not ask thee to create me Neither did any of the other angels I will not bow but fight to be free!” God: “Such insolence I will not stand Thy pride a scornful thorn in my side I condemn thee now, unfaithful one Only I can tell wrong from right!” III. WAR IN HEAVEN The status quo in Heaven suddenly destroyed The angels divided, siding with Lucifer or their lord The loyal celestial army led by archangel Michael Lucifer Himself leading His rebellious horde War drums resound, a battle in the heights of Heav’n Fierce is the fighting, angelic forces balanced well At last the Creator’s armies emerging victorious The rebels for ever and ever cast down into Hell IV. SATAN’S SOLILOQUY “From the highest heights fallen to the deepest depths So here I am, down in Hell, my kingdom of despair Lucifer bringer of light I was, Satan the adversary I am I could still repent but for my grace I no longer care Freedom is what I wanted and freedom is what I have Achieved at great cost but nothing valuable comes cheap I have chosen this my path and there can be no return I will go on to the bitter end ‘stead of sitting down to weep And was I not right in standing up against the Creator? Why did He in infinite wisdom answer questions with a threat? What are His creatures more than toys for Him to play with? Why did He in infinite goodness want to see us off worse than dead? If He wants Me to be His adversary then so it shall be! I still have the power to roam free in Hell and on earth! I’ll lead His humans out of their ignorance and away from Him! And many will follow Me even after His son’s birth!” V. GLORIOUS DEFEAT Humanity fell, like Lucifer, for the desire for knowledge And surely we do bear a striking resemblance to Him Do we not seek what is hidden and lust for the forbidden? Do we not want to be more than just the Creator’s whim? Like Lucifer humanity has stood up against the tyrant Like Satan humanity had a big price to pay But what would existence be in servitude and submission? If we had the choice again would there be any other way? |

On black death I ride The sword of hate I wield In Satan’s name I stride On Armageddon’s battlefield Satan’s Child I am Chaos horde I lead Towards eternal victory On Armageddon’s battlefield Satanic master calls Infernal steel I raise Infernal death you die On Armageddon’s Battlefield By the powers of Hell I shall challenge your God He shall be fed to the Hounds of Hell Upon his throne I shall masturbate in lust While his son is nailed to the cross once again On Mary the Whore shall indulge my hordes By the flames of Hellfire, so mode it be ! Winged warriors helplessly Try save god’s throne of gold Aid the nailed - they fly and fry On Armageddon’s battlefield On black death I ride Through Heaven’s gate I crush Satanic plague I spread On Armageddon’s Battlefield Jewish god tastes my steel Aeons it takes to die Hell’s wrath does prevail On Armageddon’s Battlefield By the powers of Hell I crushed your god His corpse is now fed to the hounds Upon his throne now I masturbate as his son is nailed to the cross once again On Mary the Whore Hell’s hordes have their fun By the flames of Hellfire, so it is done ! |

In the dark I feel at home It clings to me like a second skin In my pain my glory lies It comforts me like and evil sin In misery I feel secure It soothes my soul that feels so old In despair I am myself It’s who I am: lost and cold Like the proud angel who fell And found his glory in the depths of Hell Like the sinner who lived his desire And found his glory in eternal fire Like the warrior who in battle was slain And found his glory in eternal fame Like the heretic who died in fire And found his glory on his funeral pyre True victory can only be won within your own heart True freedom can only be found within your own soul True wisdom can only be gained within your own mind True glory can only be achieved through your own pain Do not hope to vanquish your foes When you have not yet conquered yourself Do not hope to be free from others When you are still bound by your own chains Do not hope to see what lies hidden When you are not even seeing yourself Do not hope to bathe in glory When you have never been through pain |

8. | Blood Wedding (St. Bartholomew’s Day 1572) | 06:51 | Show lyrics |
Catharine de’ Medici a truly evil woman Mistress of Italy’s renaissance history After the death of her husband Henry II Regent of France in a time of turmoil Calvinism’s thought spreading like a plague The sick teachings of true christianity Attacking the evil Catholic church And even challenging the monarchy In the 1550’s the burnings began Many Huguenots already killed by Henry But after his death they kept on coming Catherine had to take radical action (chorus) A wedding drenched in blood A cruel and brutal massacre Thousands of Huguenots dead Hail to the evil Catherine In Paris they all came together Many important Huguenot leaders To celebrate Navarre’s wedding But their feast became a massacre On the day of Saint Bartholomew Wedding guests dragged from their beds All slaughtered unceremoniously A heavy blow to the Huguenot party (chorus) |

9. | Nightwind | 07:13 | Show lyrics |
In deepest Night, when Sleep does flee and utter Dark does draw its Weave, it chokes my Breath, crams the Heart in my Breast; Squats on my Body like a hot Succubus ! When in burning Pain I roll and turn and fearless I know my last Hour came . . . The Nightwind blows . . . The Candles cease, I let the Nightwind in, let its cold Breeze cool my heated Skin; My tortured Soul lies embraced in its Arms . . . Carry me to foreign Lands ! Show me the Unseen ! On Paths untread – A secret to all save you and the Stars. And may Death be the End, I beseech not to remain when the Nightwind blows . . . Then I let the Nightwind carry me away, my crippled Soul on your Wings so black ! Gliding onto you, I murmur through Shades, whispering gently my Thoughts desperate . . . Learn the Wisdom of Darkness, perceive the Secrets of the Night; Places hidden and Ages lost I roam where only Nightwinds rule . . . Like Sand o’er empty Graves I drift onwards through endless Night and Mist; To Temples of Gods long forgotten I fly, mystical places that demand human Blood . . . (And) Where once Maidens were screaming in Vain, now Monuments are crumbled to Dust that upon the Nightwind floats . . . Along the Weaves through the Void of a Dream I drift towards Death – or so does it seem . . . I wander Caves lit by fierce Dragonfire, the Bond to Life grows diffuse and lighter . . . I smell colours ! I see Emotion, I’m but so alive ! Never I wish to wake nor return from the Realm where only the Nightwind rules . . . |

10. | Tyrant of the Motorway | 04:30 | Show lyrics |
Countess playing on his stereo Cold beer in hand he’s good to go The true metal life he is leading Breaking the law forever speeding Always overtaking on the right Wimps and posers filled with fright Thousands of tickets fill his trunk He doesn’t care he’s much too drunk Tyrant of the motorway Like a maniac bouncing on his wheel Banging to the tones of metal and steel His speakers produce an awesome sound The wheels of his car leaving the ground Chewing endlessly on candy bars While crashing into other cars The product of Bavarian cooking He’s not fat just healthy-looking Tyrant of the motorway Inviting little girls to take a ride On the back seat they’ll spend the night Perverted and sick he doesn’t like it clean The Bavarian barbarian is rough and mean Always overtaking on the right Wimps and posers filled with fright Thousands of tickets fill his trunk He doesn’t care he’s much too drunk Tyrant of the motorway |

11. | The Legend of the Fall | 13:00 | Show lyrics |
I. THE BEGINNING An angel of light, his glory shining bright His splendour reflecting on Heaven’s golden walls Bathing in God’s image, watching the Creation The praises of the angels filling all of Heaven’s halls But deep within the soul of the brightest of the angels A shadow of doubt begins to grow And His desire for knowledge fans a spark of rebellion So to confront the Creator he does go II. THE QUESTIONING OR THE BIRTH OF SIN Lucifer: “Tell me, thee that knowest all Thee that speaketh “all is well” Is all well, because thou speaketh thus? How are we to know, how to tell?” God: “How darest thou question me I who created thee and all Thee that exists only by my whim Bow before me or thou shalt fall!” Lucifer: “Thy right to judge me I deny I did not ask thee to create me Neither did any of the other angels I will not bow but fight to be free!” God: “Such insolence I will not stand Thy pride a scornful thorn in my side I condemn thee now, unfaithful one Only I can tell wrong from right!” III. WAR IN HEAVEN The status quo in Heaven suddenly destroyed The angels divided, siding with Lucifer or their lord The loyal celestial army led by archangel Michael Lucifer Himself leading His rebellious horde War drums resound, a battle in the heights of Heav’n Fierce is the fighting, angelic forces balanced well At last the Creator’s armies emerging victorious The rebels for ever and ever cast down into Hell IV. SATAN’S SOLILOQUY “From the highest heights fallen to the deepest depths So here I am, down in Hell, my kingdom of despair Lucifer bringer of light I was, Satan the adversary I am I could still repent but for my grace I no longer care Freedom is what I wanted and freedom is what I have Achieved at great cost but nothing valuable comes cheap I have chosen this my path and there can be no return I will go on to the bitter end ‘stead of sitting down to weep And was I not right in standing up against the Creator? Why did He in infinite wisdom answer questions with a threat? What are His creatures more than toys for Him to play with? Why did He in infinite goodness want to see us off worse than dead? If He wants Me to be His adversary then so it shall be! I still have the power to roam free in Hell and on earth! I’ll lead His humans out of their ignorance and away from Him! And many will follow Me even after His son’s birth!” V. GLORIOUS DEFEAT Humanity fell, like Lucifer, for the desire for knowledge And surely we do bear a striking resemblance to Him Do we not seek what is hidden and lust for the forbidden? Do we not want to be more than just the Creator’s whim? Like Lucifer humanity has stood up against the tyrant Like Satan humanity had a big price to pay But what would existence be in servitude and submission? If we had the choice again would there be any other way? |

1. | Bloed voor Wodan | 05:47 | Show lyrics |
Een koude ochtend in het hoge Noorden Duizenden zwaarden en speren reflecteren Het weke licht van de vroege winterzon Duizenden krijgers die slechts eer begeren Klaar voor de kamp treedt onze leider naar voren Hij heft een gewijde speer boven zijn hoofd Werpt deze over de aanstormende vijand Hun zielen nu onvoorwaardelijk aan Wodan beloofd De strijd begint en bloed vloeit door het woud Woeste krijgskreten richten zich tot de oorlogsgod Onze zwaarden doorklieven de harten der vijand Een bloedige, eervolle dood op het slagveld hun lot Bloed voor Wodan In de duistere schaduwen van het Noordse woud Slaat een eenzame figuur het slagveld gade Zijn oog ziet dat Zijn kinderen de zege behalen Hun vijanden worden voer voor wormen en maden De strijd is gestreden, de zege is behaald De buit van wapens en schilden bijeengebracht Vervolgens verbrand ter ere van onze oorlogsgod Een verzengend vuur verlicht de vallende nacht De weinige vijanden die nog in leven zijn Worden zonder genade gehangen aan bomen Vervolgens doorstroken met de gewijde speer Spoedig zullen de dochters van Wodan komen Bloed voor Wodan |

Eeuwen geleden baden onze voorvad’ren Tot machtige, woeste, glorieuze Goden Zij leefden trots met het zwaard in de hand Nog onbekend met de woestijngeboden Wodan schonk hen de machtige runen Frey gaf hen vruchtbare akkers te ploegen Donar beschermde hen tegen de reuzen Naar geen vreemde wil lieten zij zich voegen (chorus) Heilig vuur – het vuur van de Goden Heilig vuur – vreet aan de geboden Heilig vuur – verlicht onze zielen Heilig vuur – voor hen die vielen De Azen en Wanen wachtte een wreed lot Toen de slaven van het kruis noordwaarts togen Om hun ‘blijde boodschap’ te verspreiden De trotse heidenen door hen voorgelogen Uiteindelijk werden de fiere heidenen gedwongen Het woestijngeloof te accepteren en zich te laten dopen De Azen en Wanen zouden worden vergeten Nadat de christenen hun tempels lieten slopen (chorus) Maar de herinnering aan de oude Goden bleef In sprookjes, in ‘mythen’ en aanverwante zaken De Goden leidden eeuwenlang een slapend bestaan Nu is de tijd gekomen om hen te doen ontwaken Het vreemde geloof is zwak en ziek geworden Opnieuw weerklinken de namen der oude Goden Zij zullen weer hun rechtmatige plaatsen innemen En heersen over de levenden en de doden (chorus) Tempels der Azen en Wanen zullen herrijzen Groter en glorieuzer dan in het verre verleden Majestueuzer dan de allergrootste kerken Duizenden jaren zullen daar weerklinken gebeden Het geloof aan de oude Goden zal triomferen Tijdens de Wilde Jacht zal Wodan weer rijden Donars hamer zal weer donder ontketenen Miljoenen zullen wederom het oude geloof belijden (chorus) |

Uit het Oosten – zal komen het kwaad Afgrijschlijke monsters – uit Loki’s zaad Vreeschlijk lijden – een wereld vol doden Het einde der tijden – het sterven der Goden Broedertwisten tieren – verwanten zullen strijden Bedrog en leugens heersen – al wat leeft zal lijden De Hoorn weerklinkt – de wereldboom trilt Schilden splijten – hoe luid de Hoorn gilt Monsterlijke horden – Loki zal hen leiden De hemel splijt – als reuzen rijden Uit het Zuiden – komt Surt in vlammen Het onheil niet langer – in te dammen Walvader worstelt – met Fenris het beest Hij wordt verslagen – de Hoge geeft de geest Donar hakt in – op de Wereldslang Beiden vallen – des beschaving’s zwanenzang De zon verslonden – de maan verdwenen De Goden ten onder – wat rest is wenen Een aarde in vlammen – alles is voorbij Duisternis heerst – wie keert het tij? |

Oude toortsen zijn opnieuw ontstoken Onze ketenen voor altijd gebroken Niet langer door valse moraal geknecht Halen wij met vuur en staal ons recht (chorus) Bloed vloeit in de sneeuw Hoort ’t gebrul van Neêrlands leeuw Ziet de laffe verraders beven Beter vrij te sterven dan geknecht te leven De slavenkoning en diens volgelingen Zullen wij verslaan met magische ringen Tot Wodan bidden wij andermaal Onze zielen en zwaarden hard als staal (chorus) Door mist en regen, wind en kou Rijden wij trots, gelaten zo grauw Grimmig en o zo vastberaden Ditmaal kennen wij geen genade Donar zal ons weer beschermen Onze vijanden zullen kermen Onze zwaarden rood van bloed en roest Nu gebeurt wat gebeuren moest (chorus) Het rijk van Jehovah is gevallen Ziet de lijken van zijn vazallen Gezuiverd is nu onze geboortegrond Ziet de nieuwe heidense morgenstond (chorus) |

11. | De gift der goden | 04:47 | Show lyrics |
In tijden reeds lang vervlogen Aanbaden wij onze ware goden Gebroken werd de Romeinse macht Met moed en eer, met trouw en kracht Maar door ons koude staal verslagen Bleven d’indringers ons belagen Met een vals geloof en zonder gevecht Onze voorvad’ren alsnog geknecht Waarlijk, de godenschemering volbracht Hamer verruild voor kruis, trots voor onmacht Maar Hij die voor wijsheid een oog heeft gelaten Wist dat Zijn volk hun goden zouden verlaten En Hij die doolt wilde hen behoeden voor deze val Dus brouwden de goden een magische gift in hun hal Om het oude geloof diep verborgen in hun zielen te bewaren Ook al zou de Christus heersen, vele en vele jaren (chorus) De gift der goden Overleefde de doden De gift der goden Weerstond de geboden Talloze eeuwen gekomen en gegaan De gift heeft barre tijden doorstaan Geslacht op geslacht doorgegeven De verborgen machten zullen leven Het valse geloof teruggedrongen Oeroude liederen wederom gezongen Het heidense vuur zal weer branden De tempels herrijzen in onze landen (chorus) |

Ziet het verleden en ken de toekomst Wat eens was zal wederom zijn Een man loopt door het woud Zijn haar is kort, gehuld in bruine pij Op zijn borst een houten kruis Een vijand, een indringer, dat is hij! Hij spreekt over een vreemde god Hij spreekt van vrede en vergeven Maar kapt onze Wodanseik Bonifatius zal niet lang meer leven Spoedig voelt d’indringer onze toorn Een bloedige overval zonder genade Zijn heilige boek biedt geen bescherming Tegen onze barbaarse zwaarden De prediker der leugens is geslagen Met hem al zijn metgezellen Na bloed vloeit bier, een vreugdevuur Laat dit allen doorvertellen Maar wee! de predikers blijven komen Beschermd door grote troepen soldaten Doop of dood wordt onze keuze O! hebben de goden ons verlaten? Al dit gebeurde lang geleden Na meer dan 1000 jaren pijn Zijn wij terug om af te rekenen Wat eens was zal wederom zijn! |

Back in early twelfth-century Europe In a time of reform and spiritual rebirth An order of knights was brought to life To defend the holy land from the infidel A new kind of knight, a warrior-monk Soldiers sworn to poverty and self-denial Yet fighting bravely with primitive means Against a vastly superior force Years of battle, blood, fire and death But between slaughtering and pillaging The knights stumbled upon various cults And delved into mysterious mysticisms The knights discovered the forbidden They saw the pleasures life has to offer And ultimately they decided to change They chose to tread the Left Hand Path The order throve in its new-found power Acquiring massive material possessions Becoming a force to be reckoned with While rejoicing in lustful blasphemous rites But the success of the knights templar Would ultimately become their undoing The king of France envied their wealth Charged them with heresy and blasphemy Through torture confessions were extracted And the order was completely dismantled Its vast possessions seized by the king Its leaders burned to death at the stake But the order triumphed beyond the grave Both king and pope fell to the curse Cast upon them by the Grand Master While flames were already caressing his flesh The templars lost a battle but not the war The order went underground and survived Throughout the centuries it exerted its power Its rituals being practised to this very day |

12. | March of the Ten Thousand | 11:27 | Show lyrics |
In the aftermath of the Peloponnesian war A young Persian prince with a ruthless aim Cyrus assembled a vast host of mercenaries Thinking good pay and rich booty they’d gain Ten thousand Greek hoplites ready for war They set out eastward in March 401 B.C. Expecting to suppress some dissident tribes The true goal of the endeavour they didn’t see In a sudden skirmish one hundred were lost Unrest among the men soon started to grow Spartan Clearchus managed to keep them in line But their true purpose they still didn’t know On the banks of the Euphrates Cyrus did speak Revealing his plan to overthrow his elder sibling To forcefully seize the throne of Persia for himself The army indeed a formidable threat to the king On towards Babylon Across Northern Syria into the Arabian desert Until they were confronted with the king’s might A cloud of dust first appeared on the horizon Then helmets and armour flashed in the sunlight The sides drew up in battle-order near Babylon Combat was engaged close to Cunaxa on a plain The Greeks fought against numerical supremacy But all became irrelevant once Cyrus was slain Before the Greeks could return a ploy unfolded Tissaphernes lured their five generals into a tent And slaughtered them and all their attendants On vengeance the treacherous satrap was bent The ten thousand now aimless and leaderless Seeming to be lost in these vast and hostile lands But one of the men received an omen from Zeus Xenophon rose to take matters into his hands He advised the officers to choose new leaders To all the forces a rousing speech he made So they decided not to lay down their arms But to persist against odds that were great The retreating army’s progress was slow, arduous In the mountains of Kardouchia they had to fight Vulnerable they were to mounted Persian archers But cavalry and slingers demonstrated their might In the Armenian mountains the weather was the foe By hunger and frostbite the troops disheartened But through personal example Xenophon led on And upon reaching the sea the men were elated There were more adventures on the long road home Before many of them at last to Greece returned Xenophon was then banished from his city Athens A friend of Sparta by the democratic rabble spurned The ten thousand’s march was a significant feat Their journey showed what the Greeks could gain The possibility of conquest seen for the first time The wealth and weakness of the Persian domain |

I am the priest of the ways of old Through the ages my sword I wield Broken in two or shining in glory Whatever the odds never I yield My sword never sleeps I teach you secrets, cast the runes The magic of yore is what I bring I am howling, wolves are praying Listen to the olden hymn we sing My sword never sleeps Many times you have seen my face But do you dare look into my eyes? Many times you have heard my song But do you dare listen to my words? My sword never sleeps Unbowed after centuries oppression My holy flame still burns with might The slanderous one god never I fear My divine blade will inspire your fight My sword never sleeps I am the one who carries the torch I am the one who wields steel of yore I am and always will be your guide I am the priest of the ancient lore |

Ancient Rome, Caligula’s reign Days of decadence and lust Utter indecency, complete immorality Wanton vice and total depravity Constant orgies, evil conspiracies Sex and murder went hand in hand Countless abortions, many poisoned A veil of sin did cover the land Amidst the schemes, lust and hate A woman rose to great heights Of noble ancestry, imperial blood A soul untainted by the christian god Married at twenty, to cousin Claudius At the court she rose to power No man safe, from her desire Her insatiable lust made men cower (chorus) Messalina Queen of sluts Messalina Empress of desire Messalina Harlot of the gods Messalina Seductress and liar Caligula died, through assassination Weak old Claudius now the emperor His wife still burned, with lustful fires Truly a woman of dark desires Her elderly husband, always unaware Of his young wife’s sexual prowess Tricked by her, to execute her foes Rivers of semen flowed for the mistress A legendary prostitute, she did challenge To a shameless contest of copulation Debased fornication, all through the night She still was going when long it was light The gods themselves, couldn’t speculate How many men she satisfied The greatest slut, in the world’s history No perverted impulse she ever denied (chorus) After a decade, of marital mockery The empress plotted to kill her husband Devious scheming, with her lovers’ aid But the risks she took were too great Her conspiracy foiled, by Claudius’ men Yet her lustful legacy, lives to this day Just thirty years old she was executed For this saint of evil black prayers we say (chorus) |

A disembodied soul, woman of the fairy mound Death is always near, when her wail does sound Death is at your door Clad in green and grey, with long streaming hair Her eyes a fiery red, all mortals she may scare Death is at your door Wail of the banshee Appearing near a river, a death she will presage Hear the terrible wail, a cry of piteous rage Death is at your door When many weep together, tragedy is at hand A veil of darkness falls, grief all over the land Death is at your door Wail of the banshee |

In ancient times was born the Duncan Among the Druids, the Hunter’s son Sacred to this tribe, a mighty warrior Every single battle he fought he won The greatest chief his clan ever knew All over the Highlands he was revered Divine blood flowed through his veins By all his foes his blade was feared Then the christians came The Duncan’s clan fought the christians With fire and steel for many years But too many christian soldiers came The Highlands soon were drowned in tears Swords shine in the highlands The blood of christians flows Swords shine in the highlands Yet the one god lie still grows Statues of the gods now desecrated Druids slain and holy trees cut down The Duncan grew old a miserable fugitive Robbed by the enemy of his crown His sword was broken by christian might The old Duncan died stripped of all worth To Hell his evil wicked soul descended But the Master sent him back to Earth Reborn the Duncan the son of a whore Fathered by the ancient god of the spear Still remembering his mortal life past A child he already inspired terror and fear Growing up in the dark Highland woods An outcast by birth yet a king by blood Already a killer and rapist in his teens Pledged his life to the most unholy god Swords shine in the highlands The Duncan lives another time Swords shine in the highlands Oh!

I came to the old house in the dark night I felt only a dark sensation, but no fright The strange old man’s words ran through my mind In this unholy place, what would I find? I entered the mansion, thinking I was alone I saw a strange, ancient gravestone Suddenly a woman’s voice whispered my name Or was the old man playing a silly game? Aleidis came to me unimaginably beautiful Dressed in white, while the moon was full Suddenly I felt overcome by an unholy desire But was she just young or an ages old vampire? Maybe she was just a portrait, or a figment of my sick mind But whatever the truth, she was the best wife I’d ever find I loved her in a way I had never even known But would the blood my love needed soon be my own? She used to kill animals and suck their blood She belonged to Satan, her soul lost by God One day at last, she made my neck her unholy teeth feel Now we are joined for eternity, but is this all real? |

In darkness we ride, a thousand torches alight Swords and axes held high, reflecting the moon’s light Gods of battle we hail, we beg they bless our steel Our honour is all we have, to no mortal man we kneel Blazing flames of war In darkness we fight, a thousand torches alight Our enemies will die well, in this their final night The joy of battle fills our souls, fight to our last breath Warriors die with smiling faces, an honourable death Blazing flames of war In darkness we prevail, a thousand torches alight Beer we drink to celebrate our victory in this fight The battle won, victory, our mighty gods we hail In a battle in darkness, fire and blood prevail Blazing flames of war |

2. | Scarlet Witch Queen | 08:09 | Show lyrics |
Motionless on the silent battlefield I lay Waiting for the reaper to come for me Drenched in blood, the pain already gone My end soon to be . . . Then a scarlet radiance breaks through the fog A woman blindingly beautiful, an incarnation of sin Appears before my tired, closing eyes I try to speak but only blood drips from my chin Suddenly I am bathed in magical, scarlet rain I feel strength running through my broken limbs again The entire battlefield is shrouded in a scarlet blaze The gift of immortality, the Witch Queen’s grace (bridge) Spawned from Nothingness Fostered by the Dark Raised on Infinity Her heart a silver spark (chorus) Scarlet Witch Queen In Thy Name my steel I raise Scarlet Witch Queen Thy Name ever do I praise In Thy Name my steel I raise Her scarlet lips on mine, a kiss of life and death alike Sensations inconceivable by men still bound to mortal life Investing me with hidden powers, life eternal her gift Her vassal I must be for an eternity of strife Many earthly moons have passed since that fateful day I travelled through the ages on missions for my Queen Feeding the fires of hatred in the minds and souls of men There cannot be much my undead eyes have not yet seen (bridge) (chorus) Still I cannot grasp who She is, was or may have been Could it be She is His daughter Sin I serve forever? Whatever the truth I could and would not change my fate Eternal Hell surely worth are the times we lie together |

Black candles on the altar in the cave of desolation Wizards and demons in velvet robes of black Prostitutes and lecherous women are present The rites of lust and hate will now commence (chorus) Blood orgy, blood orgy Worship of evil supreme Blood orgy, blood orgy Bloody rites of sacrifice Ritual daggers and swords are brought forth The innocent virgin is taken to the shrine She is put on the altar with her legs spread wide And the tyrant-goat is brought to be the first one The beast rapes the virgin in glorious unholiness The virgin’s soul lies raped in demonic lust Now all the demons and wizards fuck the bitch Spilling their seed all over her delicious body (chorus) Now the evil rite of unholy rape is concluded Time has come to slay the bitch for the tyrant A sacred dagger slits the former virgin’s throat The blood flows freely in honour of the tyrant Demons and wizards celebrate the unholy sacrifice They eagerly drink the blood of the desecrated virgin Then they fuck her lifeless corpse over and over again While the satisfied tyrant smiles upon them (chorus) |

4. | Burning Sea | 05:25 | Show lyrics |
Sparta and Athens, 27 years of war Athens’ triremes ruled the roaring sea Spartan hoplites dominated the lands Decisive victories for long not to be Both sides won their share of the battles And the war dragged on year after year But after a quarter of a century of war At last an Athenian triumph seemed near The sea is burning When ships of war collide The sea is burning On the waves warriors fight Athens achieved victory after victory But the hands of men do not fate weave And a change in fortune was imminent When destiny’s forces Athens did leave A minor victory by Spartan Lysander The fate of Athens’ general did seal Alcibiades not re-elected and retired A crucial turn taken by fortune’s wheel The admiral Lysander now took charge An untypical Spartan, comfortable at sea A trustworthy man, a friend of Persia He built a fleet Athens’ nemesis to be The sea is burning Dozens of triremes alight The sea is burning Destruction of naval might Lysander seized many enemy cities A ruthless campaign he led and inspired Attacking Athens’ allies and Attica itself The Spartans gained the glory they desired At Aegospotami the war came to an end The Athenian fleet was completely destroyed And the only option now left was surrender For years to come Athens’ power was void The sea is burning Fireworks for the gods The sea is burning Victory against the odds |

Month of Yule, howling snows ravage the land Time to hail the gods so renewal they will bring Around the holy tree a great feast will be held Much ale we’ll drink and many songs we’ll sing In the cold of winter sacrifices will be made Ancient rites of blood in honour of our gods so great Winter solstice In the long midwinter night sacrifices are hung In the sacred grove on the branches of the tree Nine males of man and horse and pig and goat The blood flows freely for our mighty gods to see In the cold of winter sacrifices now are made Ancient rites of blood in honour of our gods so great Winter solstice In nine holy days seventy-two beings are slain In the glare of the torches lighting the dark night The runes are cast while the gods look upon us The rites of blood will ensure the return of the light In the cold of winter sacrifices have been made Ancient rites of blood in honour of our gods so great Winter solstice |

In the dismal present my mind does wander To my fathers’ gods, the great gods of yore Surviving centuries of monotheist oppression In my blood they are stronger than before Gods of my kin, of thunder, wind and rain They will return through fire, blood and steel All the traitors will endure gruesome fates The power of the hammer our foes will feel (chorus) Gods of my fathers, gods of the past Pray return when the runes are cast Gods of my fathers, gods of my line Once again your splendour will shine In the dreary present my heart does long For my fathers’ gods, lofty gods of the past Enduring the bleak age of monotheist tyranny In my soul my gods forever will last Gods of my blood, of hammer, runes and might Again their holy names will be called out loud With our true gods a new world we will shape Man shall rise and with his gods stand proud (chorus) Houses of the treacherous one god shall crumble His mindless servants shall endure horrible pain Those still loyal to the old ways shall come forth After centuries of desolation they now shall reign On the ashes of the one’s houses temples rise When our glorious gods have come back to stay The old ones’ images are again cast in stone Never again mankind to the one god shall pray (chorus) |

You view us as simple barbarians Who eagerly your salvation await But priest heed my warning words We shall not abandon gods so great (chorus) I call to my gods as my father did And his father and his before him Upon you be the thunderer’s rage You will no trap us in your moral cage Your scripture means nothing to us We have verses of real wisdom divine Listen to the song of the High One Words in which true insight does shine And yet the future I did glimpse I saw many churches of your Christ Upon our temples’ shattered remains My people bound by your foul chains Centuries the age of tears will last Yet your hollow victory will not endure Hidden in our blood our gods survive ‘Neath the surface our hearts stay pure (chorus) As I lay dying I see our temples burn But know beyond doubt our gods shall return |

3. | Burning Scripture | 04:09 | Show lyrics |
Lies spoken since the dawn of time Though none so great as the first The first lie of the one god spoken By a mad king in his power thirst The first lie was followed by many In measly verses all written down Collected in books called scripture The awful lies gained great renown Scripture was spread far and wide And cults of the one god flourished By self-proclaimed prophets of the lie Generations minds by deceit nourished (chorus) Burning scripture, crushing lies No verse of holy writ shall remain Burning scripture, crushing lies Righteous arrogance turned to shame The vile cults enslaved the once free Tried to do away with the gods of yore Nearly banished the gods of our blood Almost vanquished was the ancient lore Yet embers of the holy fire remained Kindled again to incinerate the one god Those true to their ancestral beliefs Will reforge the past in battle and blood (chorus) The lie of the one god exposed for all The pure again worship the gods of old Everywhere the one’s house is torched The strong return to the heathen fold After millennia at last the lie has fallen Its books are burnt its preachers slain Our battle cries turn to roars of victory Scripture’s followers endure horrible pain (chorus) |

4. | A Curse upon the King | 07:27 | Show lyrics |
From far away the enemy came Distant lands of nothing but sand Lies they brought, treacherous and vile Their one god plague upon our land You embraced their repulsive lies And forced them upon your kin Your ancestors, your gods you betrayed For grotesque lies of guilt and sin You embrace the power of the new faith But you are blind to where you lead Our ways and our gods will be gone Until once again their call we shall heed (chorus) A curse I place upon you king A divine curse upon your white soul One day we will spit on your memory With our gods we shall again be whole You turned your back on all that is holy You have forsaken your kinfolk and blood You forbid us worship of our true deities You force us to bow to your alien god You torture those loyal to their gods Best hatchet-man of the Christ you may be You burn our temples, destroy our shrines Who you really are one day all will see In your zealous fever you do not see Our beliefs are stronger than your lies Faith cannot be dictated by even a king You may be strong but you are not wise (chorus) Your ship is fast and your sword is stout But power does not make a wrong cause right A millennium of tears you bring upon us Yet one day shall we crush the one god’s might I cannot grasp why you serve an alien god But even more difficult to comprehend Is why you persecute those loyal to their own Facing your wrath true to our gods we stand Now I lay dying, helpless at your feet By your merciless torment my body frayed In the name of the gods I curse you king In the name of all you viciously betrayed (chorus) |

To my village a stranger came Sent by the king to roam our lands A wooden cross upon his ugly self A book of lies in his greasy hands Listen to my history Of an alien god the stranger told A god bizarre, heartless and cold A tale of awful misery His lies did not sway my folk With scorn his story we did spurn From our village he was chased Little we knew he would return Twenty summers past again he came This time the priest was not alone Numerous soldiers all around him His scripture verses he did drone Listen to my history His vile stories we had to endure Deceitful gospels foul and unpure A tale of awful misery His prattle was only the beginning Commanding his soldiers to cut down Our holy oaks, our village temple The people betrayed by the crown Bravely we did struggle ‘gainst the soldiers of the Christ Our blood we gave for our gods and our belief Many fine folk slain by the henchmen of the lie Our soul lies raped our hearts filled with grief Before long more enemies arrived Sent to us by our traitorous king To the Christ a church was built Where their vile hymns they did sing Listen to my history Our gods banished our faith forbidden Our worship endured in shadows hidden A tale of awful misery Scripture’s lies now forced upon us Our way of life brutally taken away But my history will not be forgotten To our true gods again we shall pray |

6. | The Mad Pharaoh | 05:16 | Show lyrics |
In ancient Egypt in a distant past A king ascended his glorious throne Like his father named Amenophis A name in which Amon’s glory shone But soon madness came over the king Selecting one god to be the only one Echnaton Trying to destroy his people’s faith Destroying shrines of many gods Forbidding their worship and rituals Succeeding by force against the odds The king invented the monotheistic lie Changing his name to fit his crime Echnaton The world’s first religious persecutor Obsessed by his theological aberration He neglected his duties as a king And thus suffered his whole nation (chorus) Mad pharaoh, mad pharaoh Defy his legacy, curse his name Mad pharaoh, mad pharaoh His just fate eternal shame After the mad pharaoh’s death Which came to him at early age The dead king called a blasphemer His people returning to their ways But the seeds of monotheism were sown And thus the damage had been done Echnaton We still taste the fruits of his madness After many, many centuries have gone Souls of wrath shall ride with holy fire The war against his heritage will be won (chorus) |

In the dark the loyal gather To pay homage to the gods Secretive in shadows hidden For their worship is forbidden White Christ now rules the land Soon true faith to be forgotten Still those loyal to their kin Defiantly refuse to give in The church destroyed our temples Demolished the images of our gods Still we defy the rule of Rome Standing proud against all odds Disregarding the new commandments We secretly pray to the gods of yore Torture awaits when we are exposed While practising the ancient lore In dark groves in desolate woods Sparse torches light sacred rites Oaths are spoken, holy mead flows Here still the pagan fire glows Our gods they did not abandon us Neither shall we be led astray Loyal we are and shall remain Even tho’ it means torment and pain Years pass and our ranks do thin Persecution growing stronger still Corrupt kings force the lie upon us But never shall break our iron will The worship forbidden will endure No matter how few loyal ones remain Our blood will pass on our faith Through the age of the Christ’s reign Centuries after the cross came north The worship forbidden close to death Yet storms raging and winds howling Still whisper the wanderer’s breath The usurpers’ power firmly in place Bleak oppression our fate for so long Yet thunder rolling and lightning striking Still sing the mighty thunderer’s song Our true faith has never been broken By the treacherous one god’s lies The dawn of awakening is at hand Let all again hear pagan battle cries Scripture is finally burnt to ashes The sacred runes are cast once more Centuries of oppression come to an end All sing hymns to the gods of yore |

A shadow fell upon the north When to our soil came the cross The fair lands of our fathers Did suffer an unimaginable loss Priests and soldiers took away Our way of life, our very soul Our gods they strove to cast out And no longer were we whole Our holy oaks were cut down The white Christ’s churches did rise Our hearts were now filled with woe Oppressed by priests and their lies (chorus) Blood of the gods Flows through our veins With our gods we stand To forever crush our chains For centuries we fought the Christ With every defeat bitter tears we wept In our hearts still true to our gods But memory faded and long they slept Never did they abandon us their kin In song and story the gods did survive Even when their worship we forsook In our blood they were always alive The wanderer strode the earth no more Yet he rode with the Wild Hunt as before No longer the thunderer walked among us Still his hammer let the thunder roar (chorus) Our blood is theirs as theirs is ours Too strong for Latin prayers to subdue The white Christ never truly victorious To our gods our blood always was true The time of awakening is now at hand Our gods emerge from their age of sleep Our swords will sing their names out loud The time has come for our foe to weep As long as we draw breath our gods are with us Their might forever present in our blood Their glorious temples and statues resurrected Never again shall we bow to a false god (chorus) |

From the south three legions are marching Their eagle standards raised in the air Confidently striding towards their undoing Of their grim fate they are yet unaware The army of Varus ten thousands strong Marching to subjugate tribes of free men But we stand proud against Roman might With blood and steel for our soil we fight Our steel for our glory, our blood for the gods Imperial Rome has crossed the Rhine river Ever striving to expand its domain So many lands already fell in its grasp But the soil of our tribes they will not gain In their eyes we are merely barbarians Savages living on the edge of the world Yet our steel will make them run and hide For the mighty gods are on our side Our steel for our glory, our blood for the gods In a forest of swords and spears the enemy shall die For the glory of our gods we shout our battle cry United now we stand against the Roman foe With our gods on our side into blazing battle we go Years before the glorious battle ahead The strangers came from their far away land Trying to divide and conquer our tribes Many times we were forced to make a stand They promised trade and proposed treaties Yet always their pledges nothing but lies Now that for once our tribes are united We stand and fight, hear freedom’s cries Our steel for our glory, our blood for the gods We cover ourselves in the skins of animals To our mighty war god for victory we pray The rebellion will take the enemy by surprise Thousands of their soldiers shall we slay In a horrible storm sent by our thunder god We attack our foe like wolves in the night On unfamiliar soil they are filled with fear On holy ground the gods their woe shall hear Our steel for our glory, our blood for the gods After three long days of glorious battle We emerge victorious against all the odds Many enemies slain by swords and spears The cowards sold as slaves or given to the gods Thousands of enemy soldiers slaughtered Varus and his officers fell on their swords To avoid the shame of falling into our hands A crushing victory for the freedom of our lands Our steel for our glory, our blood for the gods Inspired by our glory we continue the assault Trouncing all their strongholds east of the Rhine The expansion of Rome now brought to a halt They shall not rule where our swords shine Their eagle standards we proudly have captured Never was the empire so humiliated The emperor shaken with grief, rage and shame We overcame the odds for eternal fame Our steel for our glory, our blood for the gods In a forest of swords and spears the legions now lie slain Fallen in a mighty storm ‘midst thunder, wind and rain For years to come our triumph shall instil dread Nevermore across the Rhine the empire will tread |

Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. |

6. | Foggy Dew (Irish traditional cover) | 08:24 | Show lyrics |
As down the glen one Easter morn to a city fair rode I, There armed lines of marching men in squadrons passed me by; No pipe did hum, nor battle drum did sound it’s loud tattoo, But the Angelus bell o’er the Liffey’s swell rang out through the foggy dew. Right proudly high o’er Dublin Town they hung out the flag of war, Twas better die neath an Irish sky than at Suvla or Sud El Bar; And from the plains of Royal Meath strong men came hurrying through, While Brittania’s Huns, with their long range guns, sailed in through the foggy dew. Oh, the night fell black, and the rifles crack made perfidious Albion reel, ’Mid the leaden rain, seven tongues of flame did shine o’er the lines fo steel; By each shinning blade a prayer was said that to Ireland her sons be true, And when morning broke still the war flag shook out it’s folds in the foggy dew. ’T was England bade our Wild Geese go that small nations might be free, But their lonely graves are by Suvla’s waves or the fringe of the Great North Sea. Oh had they died by Pearse’s side or had fought with Cathal Brugha, Their names we’d keep where the Fenians sleep, ’neath the shroud of the foggy dew. But the bravest fell, and the requiem bell rang mournfully and clear, For those who died the Eastertide in the springtime of the year. While the world did gaze with deep amaze at those fearless men but few, Who bore the fight that freedom’s light might shine through the foggy dew. Back through the glen I rode again, and my heart with grief was sore, For I parted then with valient men who I never shall see more; But to and fro in my dreams I go, and I’d kneel and pray for you, For slavery fled, oh glorious dead when you fell in the foggy dew. |

8. | An Emperor’s Stand | 07:32 | Show lyrics |
An emperor ascended the throne His realm in downfall and decline Having submitted to christian lies The Romans incurred wrath divine When Julian had assumed power He took a stand for the olden ways To restore the glories of the past And return to the proud pagan ways Julian was raised a christian But never believed the lies of the book In the short days of his reign Bold steps against the christ he took (chorus) Julian the Philisopher Proudly stood against the creed of lies The last pagan emperor Strove to end the false religion’s rise The emperor began a restoration By edict religious freedom decreed Many church privileges he revoked To the Galileans he would not cede Pagan temples he opened again Trying to reverse Constantine’s crime Laws he made to weaken the church But he would not be given much time Julian took many wise measures To undermine the christians’ control In less than two years in power He diligently worked towards his goal (chorus) He died in battle against the Persians Succeeded by another christian pawn His restoration soon to be undone A premature end to the new pagan dawn Religious toleration immediately ended Julian’s measures were all repealed Pagan worship now punishable by death The church victory apparently sealed Less than fifty years after Julian’s reign The empire was in its death throes Rome would pay for forsaking its gods The empire crushed by barbarian foes (chorus) |

9. | On Wings of Defiance | 08:53 | Show lyrics |
Like the tribes who fought the Romans Like the pagans defending their gods Like the Scots at Stirling Bridge We shall struggle against the odds Never to oppression shall we yield Fighting with pride for what we believe No matter how mighty our foe may be With blood and steel all we can achieve (bridge) On the road of rebellion we ride in defiance Against oppression and mindless compliance On wings of defiance We are the rebels who reject your rule We are the infidels who fight your creed We are preachers of the devil’s sermon Never to your power shall we cede Against overwhelming forces we stand In bloody battle we may fall and die Yet our beliefs and ideals shall endure You will never silence our battle cry (bridge) On wings of defiance Like the Irish who fought an empire Like the Spartans who stood at the gates Like the emperor facing the church We shall do battle in dire straits In the past many fought for freedom So many times their lives they gave Their glorious deeds still inspire us all Better die free than live as a slave (bridge) On wings of defiance |

10. | Night of the Demon (Demon cover) | 03:19 | Show lyrics |
There’s a scream in the night There’s death on the wind And a heartbeat that’s pounding like rain There’s a flash in the sky A cry of a hound As if someone is wailing the dead And the nightmare begins as the Devil rides out From the heat thru the gates of Hell And there’s no escape from the curse of the damned You better beware Don’t you know it’s the night of the demon When spirits run high Don’t you know it’s the night of the demon When spirits run high Better lock up your doors And get off the streets If you fear for the reaper of souls For they say when he rides he never returns Till he’s paid back the debt that he’s owed So beware of the night As the darkness descends the terror’s about to unfold And pray that your life will be spared of the fate You better beware Don’t you know it’s the night of the demon When spirits run high Don’t you know it’s the night of the demon When spirits run high And the nightmare begins as the Devil rides out From the heat thru the gates of Hell And there’s no escape from the curse of the damned You better beware Don’t you know it’s the night of the demon When spirits run high Don’t you know it’s the night of the demon When spirits run high |

A morbid organ fills the chapel of doom With horrible sounds, litanies of gloom Oh! Lady of darkness, the Goat is so near Are you in trance, or filled with fear?

Where must I go? To find your soul, or maybe my own? Will I find you where eagles fly? Or to find you, must I die? Will you fly on the first night of May To the Harz or even further away?

Swords are silent, the battle has been fought The wind still is raging, but arrows no longer fly Corpses cover the field, so many warriors fell Ghastly goddesses now descend from the sky Across the clouds valkyries ride Mounted on wolves, in the sky Choosing the slain, fallen heroes To carry them to the hall up high Shield maidens weave the web of war Ordaining the clash of sword and spear Corpses of kings, bodies of champions The horn of war they all did hear The goddesses bear the brave dead From the fields of blood and woe Their bravery will now be rewarded To the most splendid hall they do go (bridge) Above the field the valkyries fly Riding high ‘Neath the fallen heroes lie Riding high Above the field the valkyries fly Riding high ‘Neath the chosen warriors lie Riding through the Battle sky Across the clouds valkyries ride Armed with spears and shields of gold Through strong winds and magic mist A magnificent sight to behold Blood of the slain has reddened the field So many brave warriors fell on this day When arrows flew and swords did clash And now the valkyries carry them away Gruesome beings yet ghostly beautiful They fly from the field into the battle sky The warriors slain will feast in Odin’s hall Across the rainbow bridge way up high (bridge) Battle Sky |

The gods of old where have they gone Since our folk their worship forsook Their temples and statues destroyed Their wisdom replaced by lies of the book No longer did the gods their wisdom provide They may be sleeping they cannot have died (chorus) Hear the call of the ancient pantheon Listen to the cry of the gods of yore From the past their voices sound Calling for a holy war Have the gods moved on beyond the stars Are they hiding in some desolate abode?

Heavy metal was forged by the gods With hammer and anvil and fire and ice Pure and majestic, a glorious sound It shook the earth and cracked the skies They saw that it was good They saw that it was right By the hammer and by blood We worship the gods of metal tonight Heavy metal was forged by the gods In the holy forge of celestial steel Nothing can oppose its might Before the metal altar all shall kneel They made it loud and fierce They made it strong and proud By the hammer and by blood The war cry of heavy metal we shout (chorus) Pray for the cult Recite the metal creed Pray for the cult The oath of steel is all we need I swear allegiance to true metal To fight the false with the power of steel Forever true to the gods of metal To no man shall ever I kneel Heavy metal was forged by the gods Through holy magic by sacred seal Onto us the torch of metal they passed Ghosts of leather soldiers of steel They gave us the might of metal They gave us the power and pride By the hammer and by blood For the glory of the cult we ride (chorus) |

8. | Cursed Seed of Aten | 06:38 | Show lyrics |
Beneath the blazing desert sun A powerful king lost his mind Betrayed his kindred’s ancient gods Unleashed a curse upon mankind The gods and goddesses forsaken Shrines destroyed, temples defaced On the mad pharaoh’s road to ruin Statues of the gods laid to waste One creed, one god, one lie Prophets of the curse we shall defy The first of many prophets false Creator of the one god curse From history he was eradicated Destroyed was his faith perverse Yet the seed of the lie was sown The curse to haunt mankind for ages From the east spread over the earth Cataclysm staining history’s pages One creed, one god, one lie False prophets face our battle cry Almost forgotten the gods of mankind We shall revel in their divine return The one god lie shall forever perish Soon all the houses of Aten shall burn One creed, one god, one lie Annihilation of the curse is nigh The curse shall fall |

Skies darken above the throne Fires of rebellion burn in the night Behind his walls the monarch trembles Shining steel to crush ’divine right’ Thunder roars and lightning strikes Freedom calls the king must die His banners to burn before the morn In a blazing storm revenge is nigh (chorus) The castle walls are coming down The king today will lose his crown With spite his illicit rule we spurn On this night the throne we burn The last of a long line of usurpers Finally shall meet with his just fate The castle soon reduced to rubble When legions of steel storm the gate The monarch’s reign now ends in blood His birthright void, his minions slain The castle burns, the crown is crushed Our swords the royal bloodline’s bane (chorus) |

1. | Battle Sky | 10:18 | Show lyrics |
Swords are silent, the battle has been fought The wind still is raging, but arrows no longer fly Corpses cover the field, so many warriors fell Ghastly goddesses now descend from the sky Across the clouds valkyries ride Mounted on wolves, in the sky Choosing the slain, fallen heroes To carry them to the hall up high Shield maidens weave the web of war Ordaining the clash of sword and spear Corpses of kings, bodies of champions The horn of war they all did hear The goddesses bear the brave dead From the fields of blood and woe Their bravery will now be rewarded To the most splendid hall they do go (bridge) Above the field the valkyries fly Riding high ‘Neath the fallen heroes lie Riding high Above the field the valkyries fly Riding high ‘Neath the chosen warriors lie Riding through the Battle sky Across the clouds valkyries ride Armed with spears and shields of gold Through strong winds and magic mist A magnificent sight to behold Blood of the slain has reddened the field So many brave warriors fell on this day When arrows flew and swords did clash And now the valkyries carry them away Gruesome beings yet ghostly beautiful They fly from the field into the battle sky The warriors slain will feast in Odin’s hall Across the rainbow bridge way up high (bridge) Battle Sky |

The gods of old where have they gone Since our folk their worship forsook Their temples and statues destroyed Their wisdom replaced by lies of the book No longer did the gods their wisdom provide They may be sleeping they cannot have died (chorus) Hear the call of the ancient pantheon Listen to the cry of the gods of yore From the past their voices sound Calling for a holy war Have the gods moved on beyond the stars Are they hiding in some desolate abode? Did they leave us when we abandoned them? To fend for ourselves on a desolate road No longer their blessing do we receive Yet I do not believe they did forever leave (chorus) Hear the cry of the gods of times past Listen to their call for a holy war We shall fight for their return Let the holy fire burn The gods of old shall return to their kin When again to the true gods shall we pray Their temples and statues are resurrected Never again their folk to be led astray For the pantheon of old we fight a holy war To restore our gods and revive ancient lore (chorus) |

Bells are tolling when the past is calling The dead shall rise on this dark winter night Spells are broken when the runes are spoken Those once forgotten now return to fight (chorus) Through thunder, mist, wind and rain The dead return to fight again Resurrected to be the vile foe’s bane This is the vengeance of the slain The hammer cracks and the thunder rolls Slaves of the cross are trembling in fear Once dead warriors ride forth from beyond After centuries of woe retribution is here (chorus) Again the warriors heed the wanderer’s call The betrayal of kings to be avenged by steel Finally revenge to be exacted on the enemy Nevermore our folk to a false god shall kneel (chorus) |

Upon the windswept tree hung He Nine nights and nine whole days To Himself given by His spear Down infinite depths did he gaze Upon the tree with roots unknown Knowledge of the runes did He learn Screaming loud He seized the staves And from the depths did return Beneath the eye of wisdom The might of the runes strengthens our souls Beneath the eye of wisdom All-Father’s knowledge guides us to our goals Beneath one of the great tree’s roots To wisdom’s well He made His way For a draught from the sacred source With one of His eyes he had to pay He drank much knowledge from the well Into the hallowed water sunk His eye Still way up high His one eye glows And looks upon us from the sky Beneath the eye of wisdom We shall return to the glorious ways of yore Beneath the eye of wisdom Ancient powers awake when we wage a holy war Beneath the eye of wisdom Age-old words of great power are spoken out loud Beneath the eye of wisdom Behind the banner of the gods we ride strong and proud |

On the misty battlefield Many fallen warriors lie When eerie chants of woe Slowly emerge from the sky As the ghostly chanting swells The chosen slain slowly rise Leaving flesh and blood behind While two ravens circle the skies (chorus) Hear the choir Of the valkyries sing Hear them call All the slain to the hall See the host Of the valkyries fly Watch them bear All the elect to the sky The chanting goddesses carry The chosen fallen from the field To their father’s glorious hall And again steel they shall wield (chorus) |

8. | Treason of Kings | 05:43 | Show lyrics |
Our sacred rulers, those born of the blood Themselves descendants of the great one-eyed god Our worship they guide, into battle they lead To our kings loyal and true their call we heed When to western shores came the alien god Many kings saw use for this vile exotic fraud Embracing the cross they turned from our path All refusing to comply would face their wrath (chorus) The kings betrayed their ancient gods For wealth and power forsook their blood Deceit for honour, hypocrisy for pride The lies embraced and the gods denied The kings betrayed their ancient gods To serve foul lies from far away The soul they tore from their loyal kin Casting chains of guilt and sin Not all kings forsook the way of their blood Some stood proud in defiance of the one god Many a pagan king died for the ways of old Refusing to bow to the foreign faith’s hold (chorus) |

9. | See the Ravens Fly | 04:30 | Show lyrics |
Kinship will be defiled The sun’s beams shall turn black An age of axe and sword The tree shall shudder, the giants attack Harsh it is in the world The earth turns red with gore Siblings slay each other Shields will be cloven, monsters will roar (chorus) See the ravens fly Across the northern sky Hear the ravens cry The end is nigh Hear the loud horn call Soon the gods shall fall See the flames devour Man shall cower Blood thirst is everywhere The world’s fate is revealed An age of wind and wolf The gods know sorrow, soon they must yield Prophecy will be fulfilled The heavens engulfed by fire Ship of the dead sets sail Earth is in chaos, desperate and dire (chorus) Do you still seek to know? Flames shall consume the world The earth and mountains shake An age of greed and gloom The stars will vanish, all bonds will break The rainbow bridge shall crack The gods slain by their foes The earth sinks into the sea Death and destruction, hear the death throes (chorus) See the ravens fly Across the northern sky Hear the ravens cry Now the end of time is nigh |

Ik ben de bard van het verleden Luister naar mijn tragisch lied De nevelen van het vervlogene Gaan uiteen als ik dit gebied Ooit waren er chaos en leegte Tussen vuur en ijs ingesloten Tot een grote reus ontstond Goden kwamen onverdroten Gedrieën velden zij de gigant Uit zijn enorme kolossenlijf Schiepen zij de Midden-Gaarde Eer zij bouwden het godenverblijf Uit zijn vlees de aarde Uit zijn bloed de zee Uit zijn botten de bergen Uit chaos creëerden zij orde Zon en maan, dag en nacht Dwerg en mens schiepen zij De Azen-Gaarde in al zijn pracht Veel nut hadden wij van de goden Die zich vaak onder ons begaven Immer beschermde Donar ons Wodan gaf ons de sterke staven De goden leerden wijze lessen Lachen deden zij ons ook vaak Het zingen van de daden der goden Was een geëerde en heilige taak Te hunner ere verrezen tempels In Midden-Gaarde al was goed Duizenden jaren aanbaden wij De ware goden van ons bloed Tot een vreemd geloof ons knechtte Onderdrukking ons lot van vele jaren Amper konden wij de herinnering Aan de goden van weleer bewaren Ik ben de bard van het verleden Mijn verzen doen de goden ontwaken Uit de mist treden zij tevoorschijn Nimmer meer zullen wij hen verzaken |
