1. | Emperor - I Am the Black Wizards | 06:25 | Show lyrics |
Mightiest am I, But I am not alone in this cosmos of mine. For the black hills consists of black souls, Souls that already dies one thousand deaths. Behind the stone walls (of centuries) they breed their black art. Boiling their spells in cauldrons of black gold. Far up in the mountains, Where the rain fall not far, Yet the Sun cannot reach. The wizards, my servants, Summon the souls of macrocosm. No age will escape my wrath. I travel through time and I return to the future. I gather wisdom now lost. I visit again the eternally ancient caves, Before a mighty Emperor thereupon came. Watching the mortals "discovering" my chronicles, guarded By the old demons, even unknown to me. Once destroyed their souls are being summoned To my timeless prison of hate. It is delightful to feast upon the screaming souls That were destroyed in my future. How many wizards that serve me with evil, I know not. My empires has no limits. From the never ending mountains black, to the bottomless lakes. I am the ruler and has been for eternities long. I am them. (I am them.) (I am them.) From the never ending mountains black, to the bottomless lakes. I am the ruler and has been for eternities long. My wizards are many, but their essence is mine. Forever they are in the hills in their stone homes of grief. Because I am the spirit of their existence. I am them. I am them. I am them. |

2. | Emperor - Wrath of the Tyrant | 04:16 | Show lyrics |
As the wolves bark at the moon the seventh time As the moon cast its shadow towards the cliff’s edge As the woods are crying their hymn to the almighty one The darkness consumes the happiness At the witching hours He will come forth And cry the names of the chosen ones He will raise His voice of doom He will carry the dust of the fallen warriors He will bear the fires of hell in His eyes He will walk among his souls tonight He will carry the seventh golden sword And bear the sign of evil Hell on Earth, death and destruction The fullmoon shines, and the angels whine The moment of Armageddon is here The ancient masters are back He is the wind, He is the storm He is the woods, He is the roots Nobody will escape the wrath of the tyrant Forever the beast shall wander the Earth |

3. | Emperor - Night of the Graveless Souls | 03:15 | Show lyrics |
When night comes creeping in, Dark restless shades arise. Graveless souls are gathering. Seem to ignite the flame. Creeping shadows roam the night, As a merciless rain is closing upon. Demons coming to sever the Sun. Fearsome beasts come to life. Darkness reigns in the Cosmos. Forces of the Devil’s lair. Innocent or brave, They appear to rape your world. Children of the evil and demonic Curse his love again. Graveless souls awake, Seem to ignite the flame. When night comes creeping in, Dark restless shades arise. Prepare to crawl and run. The Black is here tonight. |

4. | Emperor - Cosmic Keys to My Creations and Times | 06:23 | Show lyrics |
The heavens are lit by the stars Where years of secrets of universal forces lay hid. They shine so bright, but yet They have seen more evil than time itself. Reflected in the deepless lakes (they are drowning in black elements). They are the planetary keys to unlimited wisdom And power for the Emperor to obtain. (They) being the gods of the wolves Whom upon they bark at night, Requesting their next victim in thirst of blood. I enjoy those moments I may haunt with these beasts of the night. What kinds of beings are existing at the deeps of my lakes? They surely must be of an evil race, For no friendly thing can live In such depressive waters. (Here is also a planet similar to the Moon, but its phases is only one And it is in its most powerful for all and ever... There passes no light without the barking of the wolves.) All these landscapes are timeless, And this is all just a part of cosmos, (but) all is mine and past and future is yet to discover... Much have been discovered, but tomorrow I will realise I existed before myself. I will be reborn Before I die. I will realise planets ages old, Created by a ruler with a crown of dragon claws, Arrived with a stargate... A king among the wolves in the night... An observer of the stars. I will realise planets ages old, Created by a ruler with a crown of dragon claws, Arrived with a stargate... A king among the wolves in the night... An observer of the stars. An observer of the stars. An observer of the stars. |

5. | Enslaved - Slaget i skogen bortenfor (Epilog / Slaget) | 13:10 | Show lyrics |
Strokes from oars could be heard, beautiful ships gushed through the sea Like a wind from the north, our ancestors reached the shore Men from Hordaland, Rogaland and Adger gathered for battle in common Proud men with no fear Strokes from the sword crushed the skull of the christian A long time we ruled, kings of the north Many battles we won, at the shores of Midgard But, betrayed by our own brothers we were forced down on our knees Now when the wind once again is howling the thoughts finally goes towards home We shall rise in our glory The white horde will for sure shiver "We died like men Therefore we never vanished Weak is the one the enemy loves Never betray your origin" |

He needs less sleep than a bird; He sees night as clear as day One thousand miles away from where he is; He also hear the grass grow from the soil, Or the wool on the sheep and everything that can be heard. He possess the horn that is called the Gjallarhorn, And they can hear him blowing the horn in all the homes. |

Latter gjaller gjennom natten Aftensstjernen lyser over Midgard Ondskap sammenfiltres i mørket det ordnede kosmos’ fiende trer frem Loke, Fårbautes sønn.. Løgners far Født av jord, ubundet av lover Takk gråter el tange tarer for tapet av solens vakre sønn Men heppen i skogen underkaster seg for tilbakevinning av Fosterbrors gunst Loke, Fårbautes sønn.. Løgners far Født av jord, ubundet av lover Laksen glir i fossen Ornen seiler med vind Hammer knaker I jotunskalle Jordens indre spruter ild Latter, svik, skjønnhet og forakt Æsers beskytter og jotners fører ---------------------------------------------------------- English translation: Loke Laughter echoes through the night the Evening Star shines over Midgard Evil mingles in the dark the organised cosmos’ enemy comes forth Loke, the son of Fårbaute...

Glem alle lover, all orden og fred Kaos er allt; ingen tid eller sted Nå når alt lys og liv tar slutt Når vinden nå dreper; Lenkene er brutt! Tiden er kommet som nornene forutså intet varer evig slaget på Vigrid skal stå det finnes ingen brødre det finnes ingen sterke band Det brundne raseri er løs indre kulde er fri en elv av fråde er tørket ut Ulvens kraft, det dunkle hat ser ikke lenger en grense Ty. Din hånd for fred du gav Men de siste sår kan fred ei lindre Angrboda med rette bar sitt navn med Lauvøus sønn hun alvet frem angst, hat og død et varselskrik I mørket bergets røtter, Bjørnesner Kvinneskjegg, kattetrinns lyd pust fra fisken , fuglens spytt temmede krefter fra svunnen tid boldt Vår ulv lenket Mene i til evig tid Fenris er løs! Nå er vår visdom Slukt av gammelt hat De ni skritt er fullendt En ny vei er lagt. ------------------------------------------------ English translation: Fenris Forget all laws, all order and peace Chaos is everything; no time or place Now when all light and life ends, When the wind now is killing, The chains has broken... The time has come as the Norns predicted nothing lasts forever the Battle at Vigrid shall come there is no brothers there is no strong bounds The bound anger is loose inner coldness is free a river of foam has dried up the Power of the Wolf, the obscure hate No longer sees a limit Angrboda beared her name justly with Lauvøus son she breeded dread, hate and death a cry of warning in the dark the mountain’s roots, bear tendons Woman beard, the sound of catsteps breath from the fish, spit from the bird tamed forces from a forgotten time has held Our Wolf in chains But not for ever! Fenris is loose Now our wisdom is swallowed by ancient hate The nine steps are fulfilled A new road is lain |

Summon thy hidden wisdom, gather the unholy hate Winter is at hand, frozen my tears will be Created by blasphemy The edge of my sword, the powers of my mind Winter is at hand, as two torches blaze in the dark A warrior dressed in black, granted eternal life Black winds blow my hair, as the voice of the night Whispers my name Blackened ground, misty sound Hear the call for war, the master calling his Warriors to explore by the sign of the horns As the dawn arises the souls of a thousand Young men shall go wild As the fire shines into the night they’re sitting by The campfires awaiting the dawn |

Through years of knowledge, man rode the wings of evil Through the enormous winter, three years without summer Prepared for the battles of the north I sat on my throne and watched between The skies of a cold northern light Knowing this was my ground, but those who turned their backs Against my throne, only got my sword on their back! I rose from my throne, and walked away with the wind Through centuries of weakness Only the strong follow me, on my crusade of darkness In this land where the forest is my throne I have come to re-hunt |

Hvor stillheten er øredøvende her inne Hvor rossene aldri visner, da de aldri blomstret Her fant solen aldri frem Selv mørket snur i døren Intet håp, ingen frykt Et hav av tårer som aldri rant Morgendangen bringer bud om åpnede sår Lyset invaderte det endeløse mørket Den klareste farge blir dim om natten Gaten er tom og leder ingensteds Et strik som skar, men ingen hørte Hvem bryr seg? Vi kan alle bli fri "I morgen er en ny dag, Men det var også i dag... ...Blott den ene frykten kjennes Frykten for lyvet" Sovnet inn, i ei blodrødt pledd To døde øyne stirrer tomt Fra en sjel som ble nekter født Døden hilset den som lyvet glemte ---------------------------------------- English translation: Forgotten The silence inside this place is screaming Here, were the roses never wither, as they never bloomed Here the sun never shone Even the darkness never came in No hope, no fear An ocean of tears, that never fell Tomorrow brings remembrance of opened wounds The light invaded the endless darkness A soul, which birth was denied A soul that became forgotten The darkness fades away even the brightest colour The street is empty, and leads to nowhere A shrilling scream, that no one heard Who cares? We can all be free "Tomorrow is a new day But today was new as well... ...For only thing is fear fealt The fear of life" Fallen asleep, wrapped in a blood red blanket Two dead eyes are staring into emptiness From a soul, which birth was denied Death greets the one life forgot |

Føydd i flammar i tida før tid I muspellheimens gneistrande famm Føydd til sjelas djupaste mørke Før Audhumla urmor vakna Når augo lyser av eit hat Eldre enn gudar og menn Då ser ein muspells ljos Som ikkje mann kan temja Den eldste kraft vil me aldri skjøna Djupt ned i eldriket vil mann aldri rå Sterkare enn daudens grep Mektigare enn nomenes ljos Klokare enn Fimbul-Tul Meir svikfull enn Fårbautes son Det som ein gong bar fram liv Og gav oss vår Moder Jord Skal venda attende i Surts flammar Vår lekam skal brennast ved Ragnarok Våre sjeler bindast i Frost og Eld ----------------------------------------- English translation: Fire Born in a flames in the time before time In the sparkling embrace of Muspellheim Born to be your souls darked depths Before Audhumla, our ancient mother awakened When your eyes is glowing with hate A hate older than both men and gods Then you see the light of Muspell To strong for any man to tame The oldest force will man never understand In the deepest domains of fire, man can never reign Stronger than the grip of death Mightier than the lights of Norns Wiser than Fimbul-Tul More betraying than the son of Faarbaute That, who once brought forth life And gave us Mother Earth Shall return in the flames of Surt Our flesh shall burn at Ragnarok Our souls shall be united in FROST & FIRE |

2. | I lenker til Ragnarok | 05:38 | Show lyrics |
Eiteren drypp, jorda skakar Eg vrir meg i smerte, lenka til berget Eg er din angst, eg er din pine. Tema meg du freista, du fanga meg i garn. Eg let meg ikkje rokka, eg er kaos Eg er din skam. Eg er din øvste visdoms bror, Og din fiende til din døyande dag. Bunden eg er, men eg ler av deg. Tru ikkje eg er til for å tena deg. Eg er av ei verd du aldri (i ditt liv) kan skjøna, for eg er vondskap, eg er urkraft. Ein dag skal me møtast på Vigridsletta. Ein dag er eg fri for lenker og eiter. Den dagen vil du skjøna kvifor eg blei til, kvifor latteren gjallar i natta. Den dagen skal me kjempa vår siste kamp, Og ta kvarandre av dage. "...Sola svartnar, jord sig i hav på himmelen bleiknar bjarte stjerner Røyken velatr fra veldige bål Høgt leikar flammen mot himmelen sjøl..." [English translation: IN CHAINS UNTIL RAGNAROK] The ether is dripping, the earth is quaking I am writhing with agony, chained to the mountain I am your fear, I am your torment You attemped to tame me, you caught me in nets I will not be budged, I am chaos, I am your shame I am your highest wisdom, and your enemy ’til your dying day Bound I am, but I am laughting at you Do not believe that I am here to serve you I am from a world you can not comprehend ’Cause I am Evil I am the Primal Force One day we shall meet at the fields of Vigrid One we I shall be free of chains and ether That day you will understand The purpose of my excistance Why the laughter is roaring in the night That day we will fight our last battle End end eachothers days "The sun turns black, ground slides into the sun Brave stars are fading in the sky Smoke rises from great fires The flame plays up high Against heaven itself" |

Activate the aggression that exposes the Hidden, Denying the existance pf praying to Illusions Seek gnosis in the forbidden Drink from the wates of knowledge And see what lies you breathe Absorb the vital spark of deities false And ressurect the true gods To whom strength and wisdom is the key And not the lectures of folly Annoint your sould with pleasure Apposed to mummifications through impotence The truth is unconscious, asleep Waiting to be summoned, to be worshipped A neglected phallos, banished from thought A weapon overseen by the creator But cherished by those of the path Unlock the beast Transform AHDISDAAATAAATWAABUT |

The journey’s been long The dream comes to the sleeping Brings him where he longs to dream Further from thought, free from the flesh No answers, no circles eternal birth, eternal death "...I took and received I fell, flew and walked It was dark and I saw Deep below, where silence roars..." We wandered far and freely The light came, and the sight faded The houses are abandoned, and the sky is red The ship is leaving for the sea |

Horna gjallar, vinden bles Trommer dundrar, vinden bles Med spjut og boge meter til strid Me går i bresjen brødre gjennom blod. Med von om ëre i galskapens namn Me vert aldri slegn sjøl om me fell Me reiser ei til Folkvang til, vanedronnings famn, våre fedre skal me møta om me fell i dag. Me flytar ei frå var lagnad sjølv om vinden ikkje bles vår vei. Til valfaders hall brødre. Med heva spjut i Odins namn. Me skal heva krus i Odins namn Nidingar skal falla for våre føtter. Dei treng ikkje be om sollyse dagar. Ingen hugsar ein trëll uten herre Slegne vert dei når dei fell. Me hevar våpen for vår tru Me slaktar marken for vår tru Ingen nåde me viser for dei som snudde ryggen til. Døy skal dei som freista å mura brunnen inn. Dei som for med løgn og svik Gje oss styrke, gje oss mot Me skal sigra, brødre gjennom blod. ------------------------------------------------------ English translation: Horns are resounding, the winds are howling Drums are pounding, the winds are howling With spear and bow we go into battle We are making a stand, brothers in blood With hope for honour in the name of madness We will never be defeated, even if we fall We are not going to Folkvang, Into the arms of the Vanir Queen, We shall our fathers if we fall today We will not flee from our destiny, even though the winds aren’t blowing our way Brothers, to Valfaders hall With spear raised in the name of Oden We shall raise mugs in the name of Oden Cowards shall fall at our feet They do not have to pray for sun filled days No one remembers a slave without a master Defeated they are when they fall We raise weapons for our faith We slaughter the fields for our faith We have no mercy for those Who turned their backs Those who attemmp to close the well Shall die Those who lied and betrayed shall die Give us strenght , give us courage We will prevail Brothers in blood |

6. | Eit auga til Mimir | 04:24 | Show lyrics |
Utgards mørke, langt der ute Eg kjem ikkje inn, eit offer du krev? Eit offfer eg krev, ingen lovnad eg gjev Eg kan gje deg styrke, eg kan gje deg dauden Du seier du kan ta meg av dage. Men utan meg er heller ikkje du Skapar av svakhet, meg kan du ikkje truga. Lær deg å sjå med det retta auga. Du dunkle, du freistar å få meg i kne, du taler i gåter, og får meg vred. Med vrede, du veike, du ingenting får. Din visdom eg krev for at du skal forstå Du vil eg skal lida, og endå til dõy. Du gløymer mi makt, at du er min trëll. Ditt opphav du gløymer. Du prisar bedrag Di verd er ei faginning, ingen heilhet, ingen svar Orden eg skaper, men du motstrebar meg Du talar med klõrt, kva er det du krev. Eg krev eit offer, eg krev at du blør. Du våga å trosse dei eldste, som bar deg fram "Utgards mørke langt der ute, eit offer vart krevd, eit offer dei fekk. Eit sinn vart styrka, men lekam gjekk tapt, Klok vert den som veit å våga" "Han ofra sitt auge, for at fjan skulle sjå Han blødde for dei som til slutt lot han rå. Men ingen lovnad ei ga ham, det vart ingen fred. Dei skal framleis kjempa, til jorda sig ned" -------------------------------------------------------- English translation: The darkness of Utgard, far out there I can not enter, are you demanding sacrifice ? I demand a sacrifice, no promise I will give I can provide you with strength , I can give you death You say you can end my days But without my existence , would you not be Creator of weakness, me you can not threaten Learn how to see with the right eye Obscure One, you attempt to get me on my knees You speak through riddles, and call forth my wrath With wrath, weakling, nothing is achieved I demand your wisdom, to make you understand You want me to suffer, and even to die You are forgetting my power, you are but my slave Your source of origin you’re forgetting, your praising deceit Your world is an illusion; no wholeness, no answer Order I create, but your opposing me Your speaking with a cunning tongue, what are your demands I am demanding a sacrifice, I demand to see you bleed You have dared to oppose the Ancient Ones that brought you into existence The darkness of Utgard, a sacrifice was demanded, a sacrifice they received A mind was strengthened, but the flesh was lost He who dares becomes wise "He gave his eye to see He bled for those who let him rule at last But no promises they gave him, no peace became They shall still be fighting ’til the earth sinks" |

You forgot your father’s wise words of betrayal, destiny and death You forgot your duty as a man of strife, and killed your brother sleeping You thought time would heal the wounds, that my people would forgive and pray You forgot about me and my holy duty I will kill you with anger Vengeance in blood I swear Vengeance in blood I have always sworn |

8. | Brisinghamen | 03:30 | Show lyrics |
Einsam ho gret, den vakraste av alle Fanga og låst i ei sorg ingen skjøner Gleden forsvann langt, langt der ute. Ei brennande lyst, en ingen håp. Ho lengtar heim, men finn ingen veg. Ein sorgfull lagnad gøymt bak eit smil. Mardol du fagre for fred du blei ofra Du solgte din lekam, men fann ingen trøyst. Det som glimrar gjer ikkje fred for deg Gern du ga deg hen, og slokka mangt eit begjær. Men, framleis drypp det om natta gull frå dine auge. Frøya, od skal du finna når alt er forbi då skal du bli sluppen fri. Inntil den dag finn du inga trøyst. Sjøl ikkje i glitrande Brisinghamen. ------------------------------------------------- English translation: In solitude she cries, the most beautiful of them all Captured and locked in a sorrow no one can conceive Joy vanished far out there Burning desire, but no hope She longs for home, bu tcan not find a way A dismal destiny hidden behind a smile Mardol, you glorious, sacrificed for peace you were You sold your flesh, but found no comfort That which glitters does not bring you peace Gern you devoted yourself and consumed many desire. But, still in the night, gold is dripping from your eyes. Fråya, Od you shall find when everything ends Then you shall be set free Untill that day you shall find no comfort Not even in the shining Brisinghamen |

Fjella fall, og skogen brann Tida teia, vatn vart sand Sola slokna, men deg hadde eg att Større enn tid, tyngre enn natt!

Time stands still, everything else is dead Blood and hymn The god of corpses’ sun Shines in one and everyone’s face Urd answers in echoes, what will you do?

Buskapen åt hyrden Og svalt smilande i hjel Beitet fann dei ikkje Du elsa din neste, Og åt di eiga mor Tapar i eigen strid Herre i eigne lenker Du ser mot sola og frys i hjel Hakka til blods i gyldne bur Kvalt i kysk høgsong Du kyssar handa som drap Din eigen bror Vaer du sikker, Eg snur aldri ryggen mot deg Vaer du sikker, Eg skal alltid håna deg Tenk nøye etter Kva du har skapt Då du ligg der og døyr Høyr, der ute kor Latteren vår ljomar Tenk etter kva Som ventar deg, Du eledige dåre! Me lo då Ormgard brann ----------------------------------------------------------- English translation: The Hive II - Strangled By Purity The herd ate it’s shepherd And starved to death, smiling They didn’t reach the meadows You loved your neighbour And ate your own mother Losing your own war Slave in your own chains You look to the sun And freeze to death Torn apart in golden cages Strangled by purity Kissing the hand that killed your own brother Be sure of this I’ll never turn my back to you Be sure of this I’ll always mock you Consider what you’ve created When you’re waiting for death Listen, out there Where our laugher is resounding Think of what’s waiting for you You miserable fool! We laughed as the hive burned |

9. | Krigaren eg ikkje kjende | 06:32 | Show lyrics |
Eg for ut i strid Då dei framande kom Eg sloss for min heim og min buskap Eg kjempa dei ned Med mitt spjut og min boge Så dei heime kunne eta og sova Eg drakk og eg skråla Eg lo og eg skrøyt Av mine sigrar, mitt mot og min styrke Eg fortalde om gullet eg fann Hjå dei eg slakta ned for fote Eg vakna brått Ein kald og mørk morgon Med buskapen daud og trellane rømde All mjøden var drukken og venene reist Då la eg i veg til lovande land For atter å vende heim med aere Alle som sto i vegen for meg Skulle kjenne min styrke og vreide Ved ein flod sto ein gammal og støl mann Han vokta ein båt som eg trong Eg skulle hogge han ned Men sverdet brast og Den gamle sto der og flirte "Fattige tåpe, som aldri har skjøna At ein krigar skal kjempe mot krigar Aldri du vinn visst du berre ser fram Og ikkje inn" Med eit var den gamle vekk Og vinden tok med seg båten Ved bredda sto eg og skua Men nådde ikkje den andre sida Då starta kampen mot krigaren Eg alltid trudde eg kjente ------------------------------------------------------- English translation: Warrior Unknown I went into battle When the strangers came I fought for my home and my herd I struck them down With my spear and bow So that those at home could sleep and eat I drank and yelled I laughed and bragged Of my victories, my courage and my strength I told of the gold I found At those I had slain before me Suddenly I awoke A cold and dark morning With a dead herd and slaves escaped All mead and all my friends were gone That was when I went away to promising land For once again to return with honour Everyone that crossed my path Was to feel my strength and wrath By a flood stood an old and tired man He guarded a boat which I needed I charged to cut him down But the sword broke And the old one stood there grinning "Poor fool, who never had seen That a warrior shall fight against warrior You’ll never win if you’re only looking ahead And never inwards" Suddenly the old one was gone And the wind carried away the boat By the shore I stood looking But could not reach the other side That’s when the battle begun Against the warrior I always thought I knew |

1. | Convoys to Nothingness | 07:57 | Show lyrics |
Faces - eyes - noise Floating patterns of no coherency, none needed From behind the chapel of dreams came imagery From another world They left for a brighter star A new home called "now" Womb - death - dawn Follow seafarers on an ocean of silence Remaining humanoid shells, a distant thought The chasm between truth and flesh paved With bricks from secret cities Entering linear orbit Crushing the foundations of divided times Suns reflected Convoys... Convoys to... Convoys to nothingness... |

2. | The Voices | 06:07 | Show lyrics |
I hear their poisonous words again As they call out for submission and code "To be less than one and drown equals pride" they say These were the voices that destroyed us Did I want for this loss to be sustained? Through the clipping of wings found the secret paths From the blinding light of lies obtained second sight Stabbed in the back, gained strength in One-ness Taken from me, I learned to preserve These were the voices that sunk our ships These are the voices - poisoned ears bleeding Did I pray for the dead to be kept awake? Did I gently place these thorns through the surface of my eyes? Did I ask for this fathomless tragedy to go on forever? Fail to comply - reborn in war The answer being no Did I? |

3. | Vision: Sphere of the Elements - A Monument Part II | 04:58 | Show lyrics |
Betrayed by disillusion Enslaved by insanity Enslaved by commitment to betrayal Betrayed by all elements My vision is clear and strong I comfort myself to fulfil it There exists no edge Clearly existence is wrong I kill myself to fulfil my vision Consumed by astral interference I deny this monument to be my sphere I choke this ego to find that i’m dead I deny this monument to be my sphere I will die as one |

4. | Hollow Inside | 05:38 | Show lyrics |
Hollow inside - I didn’t sleep too well last night Step over, turn the light Hollow inside - I didn’t dream too much last night Step over, turn the light Knock on the door - these are the interfering themes Open it up, too soon Shorter in time - the interactive parts go by I fear for a while - my head I fear for a while - that my head will expand And stretch out in to the stratos wild Can’t you see, those birds in limbo breaks And of course you hear, listen, the straws From above you, and underneath in the glow I can touch them Spiritualized Dogs with bones, they are released One too many to get on |

5. | The Cromlech Gate | 06:55 | Show lyrics |
[The fool:] "Fear not dear kinsmen, cause you Saviour I am. I’ll bring back our glory And wisdom Achieve I’m searching the Old path to bring back the elder" Smug as only the fool can be, mindless Blindly. He marches towards his fate Summoned to the Cromlech by hunger within [Voice from a parallel existance:] "Come inside my friend, your father is waiting. Your search ends here, Wisdom you have gained, the signs you have read." Doomed to walk the smiths dungeons Underworld slavery Through the eyes of the fool nothing can be seen The elder is hiding beyond thoughts Only leaving with glimpses of long lost knowledge I once saw the Cromlech and was kindly invited But I stayed the beast I kissed the ground (I drank the wine) (I took up the runes) I found the home of the elder |

6. | Enemy I | 05:16 | Show lyrics |
It was here I was born While the stars held their breaths After ages of pseudo-presence I climbed the final steps Up from deep beneath the shores Eieth no longer sleeping gal Thus alive and the stillness Only to be broken by whispers Towards the moon Bloodred from the Unborn Ones cries That will not be silenced or rest Forever more and awaken not To paint in blanks or wither Beauty blinding no more than the whole is less now We see clearly what was not there The prey become predator Slaughtering not raging blindly Through tunnels of sorrow and lust For solitude and peace of mind Says it is time to unmask and face Behind lines - that is Enemy I |

7. | Smirr | 04:26 | Show lyrics |
He sees his world through the crystal state of departure The hooves echo the approach of the third coming On it’s back a goddess with shining black armour The steel that will separate the will from doing Closing in as he falls to his knees, surrounded by Plasma of dying chapters Life succumbs to silence, desire alone to the dying Of inner banes His hands no longer grasping contraction as he laughs Winds play their mourners dirge through heaps of corpses The hooves thundering the arrival of the final coming Carrying forth the seeds of eternal night So that the Shadow may sleep, eternity weeps While we laugh and remain forever She feels the cold floor giving no comfort as she fades The hooves echo the approach of the third coming On it’s back the faceless her Elder Ones saw The agents of microcosmic change shattering the megalith Stories told, divinity unfold She passes on, yet remains in Smirr Cold remains scattered in dead void dreams |

10. | Sigmundskvadet | 06:57 | Show lyrics |
Í Føroyum búðu høvdingar tveir, Tróndur og Sigmundur itu teir. Noregs menn! dansið væl í stillum; stilli tykkum allar, riddarar, Noregs menn! dansið væl í stillum. Sigmundur búði Skúvoy á, Tróndur búði við Gøtuvág. So grammur var Tróndur, hann hugsar ilt: Sigmundur hevur vár’ veitslu spilt. Tróndur hann situr í sínari lon: “Tit heintið mær Sjúrða Tollaksson. Tit heintið mær Gutta og láa Tór.” Snarliga boð eftir teimum fór. Inn komu garpar og søgdu so: “Hvat vilt tú, Tróndur, tú sendi oss boð?” “Eg havi sent tykkum boðini tey, at tit skulu hjálpa til Sigmunds deyð. Tit hvessið spjót, tit hvessið knív; tað skal galda Sigmunds lív. Hetta mítt ráð man vera gott: Vit skulu herja á hann á nátt.” Teir samlaðu saman sveinar og menn og gingu til strandar allir í senn. So sigldi Tróndur Skúvoyarfjør, skútan bognaði sum ein gjør. So myrk var náttin, og skútan gegg, so blíðan byrðin Tróndur fekk. Myrk var náttin, og skútan rann, teir hildu beint mót Skúvoy fram. Eingin vardi, teir komu hartil, alt gekk til, sum Tróndur vil. Skramblaðu teir við vápnum hart, so hurðar gingu í smildur snart. Sigmundur vaknar úr svøvni brátt: “Hvør brýtur inn á meg í nátt?” “Hann, sum brýtur tínar dyr, tað er tann maður, tú háaði fyrr. Sigmund helt sítt svørð ímót, fimm fullu høvur á Tróndar fót. Sigmundur høggur av makt og vold, trý fullu høvur á Tróndar skjold. Tróndur hann var til ilsku fús: “Tit setið nú eld á Sigmunds hús!” Sigmundur talar til frænda sín: “Nú má eg rýma av húsi mín’.” Einar úr Suðuroy, hans frændi Tór, eingin annar við Sigmundi fór. Sigmunds hústrú stendur við vegg: “Tú hoyr meg , Tróndur Gøtuskegg. Stríðist tú móti konu og børn, so ert tú grískari enn ein bjørn.” “Tit sløkkið eld, tit stingið inn knív! Eg stríðist bert um Sigmunds lív.” Tróndur vendi borgini frá, beint ímót’ sum Sigmundur lá. Tróndur hevði so fyri orð: “Eg kenni royk av Sigmunds sporð.” Tróndur biður teir hava mót: “Eg kenni royk av Sigmunds fót.” Teir gingu fram um grøna lund, teir dvøldust við gjónna eina stund. Sigmundur sær um gjónna brá: Steingríms høvur á vølli lá. Sigmundur aftur um gjónna sprakk, svørðið úr hans hondum stakk. Sigmundur flýddi á oynna norð, Tróndur hevði tá manndómsorð. Sigmundur kastaði í havið seg, Einar og Tóri sama veg. Tá ið Tróndur hetta sá, aftur at báti skundar hann tá. Aftur at báti skundar hann tá, men ikki kundi hann Sigmundi ná. Svimja teir tríggir við miklari ferð, sum streymur harður á firði er. Tórur aftur um seg sá: “Nú tekur Einar at dragna frá.” Sigmundur gjørdi sær tann ómak: hann legði Einar á sítt bak. Tórur rætti Sigmundi hond: “Nú hevur Einar givið upp ond.” Sigmund slepti Einar’ av, Suðuroyarfjørður varð hans grav. Sigmundur svimur og frændi hans, enn er fjórðingur eftir til lands. Tórur legði seg bylgju ímót. “Nú eri eg givin í hond og fót.” Tú svim til lands, legg einki í meg! Eg eri farin, men redda teg. Svaraði Sigmund’, í sjónum sat: “Ei, mín frændi, skiljast vit at. Vit vóru saman í mangari ferð, ei mín frændi, skiljast vit her.” Sigmundur var í orðum trygg’, hann legði Tóra á sín rygg. Sigmundur svimur av allari makt: “Nú hava vit at landi lagt.” Brimið tað brýtur sum boðaslóð, Tað Tóra niður at botni dró. Sigmundur var ein menskur mann, men ikki bóru beinini hann. Tá hann hevði svomið tann veg so lang, hann legði seg stillan niður í tang. Torgrímur átti Sandvík fyrr, hann sá ein morgun út fyri dyr. Torgrímur hugdi mót tara út: “Eg meini, eg síggi ein reyðan klút.” Tórgrímur talar til dreingir tveir: “Tit vitið, um har er nakað meir.” Inn koma dreringir og siga frá, stórur maðu rí tara lá. Ein stórur maður í tara lá, ongum líkari enn Sigmund’ at sjá. Torgrímur tók sær øks í hond, so fór hann til sjóvarstrond. Torgrímur niður í taran sær, maktarleysur lá Sigmundur har. Torgrímur talar til sveinar sín’: “Gullringur Sigmunds skal vera mín!” “Dreingir, tit haldið mær í hans hár, meðan eg gevi honum banasár. Dreingir, tit haldið (í) hans hár í topp, meðan eg skilji høvur frá kropp’.” Dreingirnir hildu í hans hár, meðan hann gav honum banasár. Dreingirnir hildu (í) hans hár í topp, meðan hann skilti høvur frá topp. Gullringin bóru teir heim til hús, men kroppin gróvu teir í sand og grús. Ein slíkan enda Sigmundur fekk, hans líki ei í Føroyum gekk. |

1. | As Fire Swept Clean the Earth | 06:35 | Show lyrics |
I close my eyes As Fire Swept Clean the Earth Nothing left to strangle As the cords were torn from our hearts "Tired I blew out my last warning, the claws were ripping me apart" As we emerged From darker dungeons Splendor of yellow hells Expanded swollen eyes No words were said As Fire Swept Clean the Earth Would the mothers be crying? If they saw torches in our hands? "The wind, once able to conquer, captured As Fire Swept Clean the Earth" A kiss was placed Upon my cheek And all color came back Melting in solid blue tune |

The Juggler stares To quench the thirst Upon the brow Within the hand It cracks and seeps The seer weeps In flickering light The wounds are served Screams from below A shadow in chains Feverish images told In mirrors of old The eyes they all share In this tragic court An empty seat The river runs dry Nothing said Words in red Behold the druid As the stones fall Known aloud turned Backwards around Reverse the loss This never was |

3. | The Crossing | 09:11 | Show lyrics |
I no longer struggle No longer see Nothing remains, burning anxiety Darkness came forth Gave birth to me Certain death is all I see I see you weep I see you suffer I’ve seen kingdoms rise and fall I’ve seen all that’s supposed to be Earthbound forces, united with sorrow The path was given in ancient times Embraced by hunger, forgotten by will The wisdom is hold up still Break the chains, come forth to see Cross the abyss not meant to be Cross the river, find the key Kill the queen of anxiety |

4. | Queen of Night | 05:59 | Show lyrics |
Across the scorched fields of fathers land In each step an abyss is built Through misty dreams he touched her hand The boar is dead Its blood is spilt He set his foot on the slopes of far away They’d been asleep when his sun roared He walked through night, walked through day Landless mourning lord "Why should we let you by?" The road is blocked by men of three "If you need ask, you already know" They said to let him pass, to leave him be At the shores of sorrow How far he’d come (to see her eyes) (After) Moons and more moons He’d be there tomorrow "And I would travel across the water To where she lies” On the sea of solitude he rows The winds howl her name, he has no fears Tired and smiling he falls, downwards he goes There she is, waiting after all these years |

"Dei for ifra nord Mot ei anna tid Bak låg brende ord Framfor dei ei ny strid Dei såg såg stormar i det fjerne Men haldt fram og beint Inn mot jordas kjerne Frå tidleg mot seint" I see a darkness overwhelming I see that there is no light for me I don’t care if it leaves me blind I don’t care if I’m left behind I see a white horse’s head I see it’s dead stare fixed at me I do not fear its eyes Curse myself, return it twice I see walls to high to climb I see nothing on the other side I should have roamed another space I should have been another place *"Dei daue gror opp av havet og ropar så sårt mot land. Dei ropar bak alle skuter, som kavar seg tungt forbi" * I am among ghosts when I should rest I cannot tell the worlds apart I do not heed the words they say There is no dream of another day I hear a silence, deafening Drowning the deserts, that is my destiny I no longer wish to see The threads they’ve spun for me. "Dei for ifra nord Mot ei anna tid Bak låg brende ord Framfor dei ei ny strid Dei såg såg stormar i det fjerne Men haldt fram og beint Inn mot jordas kjerne Frå tidleg mot seint" |

Bottomless abyss, ginnungagap Darkness without end before the morning of time The cold empire’s eleven rivers frozen Frost mist spreads itself wide out The gust from Nivlhel in the north fills the mighty gap Licking tongues of fire from the south Boiling, bubbling venom All life has it’s origin in a source of Jotunblood Your mind’s own evil inner: Jotunblood Screams from Hvergelmes source United with nauseating drops of venom The first, the father of all families Created by the two elements With himself he breeded Our proud ancestors Our primitive force’s deep roots With energy from the cattle’s four rivers A knife through the dark A shrill scream A pale face foams He wanders proudly over Ymer’s bones All life has it’s origin in a source of Jotunblood Your mind’s own evil inner: Jotunblood If one seeks all Midgard’s knowledge If the wise woman swings her staff One can not avoid one’s origin The chaos of the primitive force: Jotunblood |

Heimdall is the name of an Old Norse God; he is called the Old White Norse God; he is great and holy; his teeth are made of gold; his horse is named Goldtop. He lives where it’s called the mountain in the sky besides Bifrost. He needs less sleep than a bird; he sees night as clear as day one thousand miles away from where he is; he also hear the grass grow from the soil, or the wool on the sheep and everything that can be heard. He possess the horn that is called the Gjallarhorn, and they can hear him blowing the horn in all the homes. |

Laughter echoes through the night The evening star shines over Midgard Evil mingles in the dark The organised cosmos’ enemy comes forth Loke, the son of Fårbaute... father of lies Born of earth, unbound by laws Takk weeps no heavy tears For the loss of the sun’s handsome son But the mare in the woods submits For the regaining of Foster brother’s favour Loke, the son of Fårbaute... father of lies Born of earth, unbound by laws The salmon glides in the waterfall The eagle sails with the wind Hammer groans in Jotun scull The under ground spurts fire Laughter, deceit, beauty and contempt The old norse god’s protector and leader of Jotuns |

7. | Queen of Night | 05:46 | Show lyrics |
Across the scorched fields of fathers land In each step an abyss is built Through misty dreams he touched her hand The boar is dead Its blood is spilt He set his foot on the slopes of far away They’d been asleep when his sun roared He walked through night, walked through day Landless mourning lord "Why should we let you by?" The road is blocked by men of three "If you need ask, you already know" They said to let him pass, to leave him be At the shores of sorrow How far he’d come (to see her eyes) (After) Moons and more moons He’d be there tomorrow "And I would travel across the water To where she lies" On the sea of solitude he rows The winds howl her name, he has no fears Tired and smiling he falls, downwards he goes There she is, waiting after all these years |

Pallid it hangs In awe of amusement Litany swarm Bleak I say are the crutches of the assembly And flies cling to it More so ever the fingers to animate Insubordinate, fickle exequies Putrid core Naudr... the ligature it can’t break Lagu... the whispers it can’t hear Insubordinate, fickle exequies Putrid core "Er du halt kan du ri Handlaus gjeta Er du dauv kan du duga i strid Blind er betre enn brend å vera Daud mun ein lite duga" Slain, and thoughts pour from the gutted mind. "Ver kappi mot kristni Ver kappi mot kross Ver kappi mot Hvitrkristr VER VANN VER VANN VER VANN" "Er du halt kan du ri Handlaus gjeta Er du dauv kan du duga i strid Blind er betre enn brend å vera Daud mun ein lite duga" NAUDR... |

10. | Wotan | 03:37 | Show lyrics |
Naked, waste landscape Vast plains lead to the seashore in the west A northern wind sweeps over dead bodies A stranger has entered the domains of the vikings Die not lying sick, dastardly coward Draw sword, fight with the war gods Wotan! We shall fight until we see Ritrost We shell fight until Heimdal flows the Gjallarhorm We shall fight for our domains We shall fight with the war gods Wotan! Die not lying sick, dastardly coward Draw sword, fight with the war gods Wotan! |

11. | Retribution for the Dead (Autopsy cover) | 04:47 | Show lyrics |
Obsessed with revenge Digging up the putrid curse Retribution for one stricken down Now the morbid winds will call See the victim dying in fear Bloody corpse drained of life You called upon this brutal slaughter Now pay the suicidal price Memories arrive from years ago A man ripped in half By the hand of the dead Now the curse is you Retribution for the dead Soon you’ll rise to kill again |

12. | Slaget i skogen bortenfor | 07:53 | Show lyrics |
Strokes from oars could be heard, beautiful ships gushed through the sea Like a wind from the north, our ancestors reached the shore Men from Hordaland, Rogaland and Adger gathered for battle in common Proud men with no fear Strokes from the sword crushed the skull of the christian A long time we ruled, kings of the north Many battles we won, at the shores of Midgard But, betrayed by our own brothers we were forced down on our knees Now when the wind once again is howling the thoughts finally goes towards home We shall rise in our glory The white horde will for sure shiver "We died like men Therefore we never vanished Weak is the one the enemy loves Never betray your origin" |

4. | Ascension | 06:45 | Show lyrics |
Staring across the void, seeing eye to eye in folded space I see you with the colours and frenzy of the sacred rooms We’ve met in those dreams, ice blue water ran towards the green sky The gods spoke to us in their infancy Suns waiting for us to smitten them with the flames of our disease And we did so laughing, giving birth to sunrises in our wake Never in need of sleep, nor in need of truth I would never have stayed in this darkness, and we could ascend The taste of ash, no stars above-No green grass below The last words set ablaze as we saw the inner imagery How it all came alive when we no longer reached for it How it all rose and overwhelmed the speechless (us) In this house without words we came to be one In these books without text we found the way A path along a faded memory, without the fear of finding home We would never have stayed We would never have stayed We would never have stayed in this darkness We would never have stayed We would ascend |

I am a part of the darkness Used to watch from afar Sensing the violence of morning And breathing. And waiting for nothing Devouring the spirit, grinding the heart There are good things in the burning fields There’s peace in the slaughtered flesh There’s life in the frozen seeds I’ll dream in the deserts And comfort the thirst for seeing The violet dawn in the distance Beckons me to steal its light I’ll wait for you here I’ll wait for you here I’ll wait for you here I’ll wait for you here |

7. | Return to Yggdrasill | 05:39 | Show lyrics |
A new sound heard throughout the land From which the spirits had left ages ago Sacrifice and honour replaced by betrayal and usurpers A trail of sweat and blood, a gathering to the pagan outer worlds For ages we have wandered Under the wings of deception Too long have we been waiting For the long winter to end An uprising by those that claim the Supremacy of One Against the misleaders of the blind, deceivers of the Masses Man can no longer claim ignorance as reason for waiting It is all for the taking, the world for their making We will gather again Under the leaves We will gather again In honour of the nine nights For ages we have wandered Under the wings of deception Too long have we been waiting For the long winter to end We will gather again To praise the courage We will gather again To watch the harvest |

3. | The Voices | 05:59 | Show lyrics |
I hear their poisonous words again As they call out for submission and code "To be less than one and drown equals pride" they say These were the voices that destroyed us Did I want for this loss to be sustained? Through the clipping of wings found the secret paths From the blinding light of lies obtained second sight Stabbed in the back, gained strength in One-ness Taken from me, I learned to preserve These were the voices that sunk our ships These are the voices - poisoned ears bleeding Did I pray for the dead to be kept awake? Did I gently place these thorns through the surface of my eyes? Did I ask for this fathomless tragedy to go on forever? Fail to comply - reborn in war The answer being no Did I? |

Bottomless abyss, ginnungagap Darkness without end before the morning of time The cold empire’s eleven rivers frozen Frost mist spreads itself wide out The gust from Nivlhel in the north fills the mighty gap Licking tongues of fire from the south Boiling, bubbling venom All life has it’s origin in a source of Jotunblood Your mind’s own evil inner: Jotunblood Screams from Hvergelmes source United with nauseating drops of venom The first, the father of all families Created by the two elements With himself he breeded Our proud ancestors Our primitive force’s deep roots With energy from the cattle’s four rivers A knife through the dark A shrill scream A pale face foams He wanders proudly over Ymer’s bones All life has it’s origin in a source of Jotunblood Your mind’s own evil inner: Jotunblood If one seeks all Midgard’s knowledge If the wise woman swings her staff One can not avoid one’s origin The chaos of the primitive force: Jotunblood |

I am the creator of true will Long have I suffered Long have I been forced Blinded by their faith Laughter resounds no more I am the son of the ancient breed I do not pity life I follow not pathetic order I am the realm of absurdity Resistant to their conscience Free of their constant pain I was born in the flames Long did they hope That my logic would save them at last Long did I know That I would watch them die While harvesting their fruits of their impotent threats They forgot the potency of the old independency Claiming my death would Change the way of existence Who, but me handled them? The weapons of hope They turned safely into non-existence I will break the chains I will slay the betrayers One last time The laughter shall resound |

My grace you shall get, because I welcome your return (If) you’re not the hidden into sadness I’ll turn I’ve come to your rescue now before your last breath My love you will receive, but it will be your death Fear not, said the mistress, the lady of light Those who betrayed us would not stand the fright |

Have you ever seen beyond the reach? Have you ever felt the change? Visions from an altered state They conceal and relevate Communing once again with Gods Thread unto the impossible path Talking with a different tongue Heralding the unsung Reach for them, see them turn away Have you ever seen beyond the reach? Have you ever felt the change? Visions from an altered state They conceal and relevate Like grains of sand through our fingers doubt is nowhere to be found free beneath another sun Fly away, chains undone Reach for them, see them turn away Doors open wide Step into the light No turning back Embrace the night Breathe eternities We are not alone Never to return Merge with the unknown |

The question is this By will alone Does my heart carry the strength To see you burn? When I do not wish to part To see them farewell Does my heart carry the strength to leave you behind? The eternal search for purity A fragile hope for the just and fair Order feeds from the corpses All beauty must die Where is the essence in beast or scripture? Where lies the laws in stars or temples? I cannot see myself Not your orbit I cannot see the others Not your eyes It lasts forever when you let it go Purity and Pain Where is the essence in beast or scripture? Where lies the laws in stars or temples? I cannot see myself Not your orbit I cannot see the others Not your eyes If I told you I’d get you through I’d have to let you fall down Not because of malice You needed to And I’ll remember What we had It lasts forever when you let it go Purity and Pain |

Seeing all, but nowhere "Tell us, will we see the sun again?" "Waiting is the cost of true vengeance" Carrying the weight of knowing "I see darkness, I see evil times" Time to rise and stand tall again "The ideals of the One" I bow to the forefathers "Towards the Father" Feeling the transition "The unity of dimensions" Leave me not before all fear is gone Pour into my veins Let the father become the son, and I’ll keep walking through every winter I’ll keep on walking through every winter I’ll keep on walking through every winter |

In the void of chaos life endures In the gap of creation, the ancient wisdom breathes Inheritance of fire Inheritance of frost Yet it lay there weeping Afraid to see the light Inheritance of fire Inheritance of frost No one comes to unveil No one finds the key Inheritance of fire Inheritance of frost Grasp the mighty chaos Grasp the ancient birth Seek deep within, feel the flames Into the void, never to return Seek deep within, fertilize Into the void, rise... Struggling against the fumes Poisoning the hearts Fighting the chains, to penetrate the clouds Pulsating life in the ancient womb Encapsulated in forces of old Waiting to hear the call To witness the cosmic marriage Willing to blow the mocking clouds away |

To the coast, but not across Static sanctuary Longing for the heart of the changer Chained to the past, a dream of liberation The vultures above, they know, they’ve seen him linger here Where the barren land meets sea; the mother and the reaper The irony of... Sorrow kept close Hanging head Gaze upon the waters and turn back again Like so many times before Riders on the horizon with darkness in tow Too painful to let go of the fear, too strong the ties He came without a face ...And a promise of belonging So I caved and gave way to this vision Bleak and never-ending the pages I’d like to see what lies beyond Dissolving ink in salt water Wrecked and laughing at the skies and the open sea To the coast but not across Had some strange days then walked back To the coast but not across Longing for the heart of the changer Chained to the past, a dream of liberation The vultures above, they know, they’ve seen him linger here Where the barren land meets the sea; the mother and the reaper The irony of... Riders on the horizon with darkness in tow Too painful to let go of the fear, too strong the ties He came without a face ...And a promise of belonging So I caved and gave way to this vision Bleak and never-ending the pages I’d like to see what lies beyond Dissolving ink in salt water Wrecked and laughing at the skies and the open sea Black clad back into the all over again |

3. | Ground | 06:38 | Show lyrics |
The defining sound Fangs into flesh Panic and spit Death unto life Eyes wide It sees itself through the layers of ice Now; seal the cracks... reject the notions! Everything can not be happening on the inside? An option not to listen A nameless urge takes hold Prey upon the weak An aimless tale told Pray upon the weak Caught in a spiral of need Act without the choice Choose not to act Caught in a spiral of need Desperate and alone in a whole Striving for higher ground Carrying someone else’s fears for tomorrow Stay behind the line Or eat from the bowels of reality Grind the thorns to stardust Gliding slowly across the abyss Inside the inside the inside There is a sound made by boiling blood Above and below lay the levels Above and below the ground Ground |

"Abandoning the powers that gave them sight Summoned to the altars of their loving gods" Storming the walls, once built with pride Swarming like rats away from the lights Howling for justice, death in their eyes Tearing down the pillars with monstrous hate Forging the swords to slay their own kin Screaming in triumph, burning inside When the steps are fulfilled We shall see a new dawn When the dead world is gone We shall rebuild the walls When all the bricks from the morning When they are once again found We will emerge from the ashes And rise from the ground |

5. | New Dawn | 05:23 | Show lyrics |
In the radiant night Beneath the fertile soil In every heart it lies sleeping Hiding in dreams of strength Older than the mountains So ancient and profound Beyond the grasp of reason Above the laws of man The ancient gods of battle Summoned by the drums of war In circles of fire descended Our eyes and minds frantic At the point of no return I never saw her shine so bright Returning the strength to a weary heart Strife to reclaim and expand A new dawn rises Out from the shadows A new dawn rises I step unto the world In times when truth has lost its valour In times when fate is bought and sold When honour lays slain at vanity’s feet It seemed like our last hour had come The enemies’ name outspoken They will tremble upon seeing the sign The second coming has no mercy Forged in the flames with iron will A new dawn rises Out from the shadows A new dawn rises I step unto the world |

6. | Reflection | 07:45 | Show lyrics |
Clinging to life in the reflection of the self Breathing the air from the poisoned pit Hovering through flames from the burning core Searching for reason in the ashes of men Obeying the laws of the kings without lands Bowing in awe at the hypocrite’s feet Not hearing the cry of the infant Poisoning the seed that was planted within Ignoring the winter that closes in Believeing the tales from the forked tongue Frozen to death without being born Looking for reason in the bottomless abyss Clinging to life in the reflection of the self Breathing the air from the poisoned pit Hovering through flames from the burning core Searching for reason in the ashes of men Obeying the laws of the kings without lands Bowing in awe at the hypocrite’s feet Clinging to life Frozen to death Clinging to life in the reflection of the self Frozen to death without being born Absorbing the reek of rotting Flesh Marching in convoys to fields unknown Clinging to life in the reflection of the self Embracing the sun without casting shadows Believing the tales from the forked tongue Frozen to death without being born. |

7. | Center | 07:33 | Show lyrics |
Feel nothing Oxen and primate as one Pushing what already strives (There is) no space (There is) no peace Let go of the whip We’ve reached the outer limits of this orchestrated vision Some might think it can’t be kept apart Forgot to ask: where are we in all of this? Trying to get off track... Into the wilderniss Running from the beast In need of strength, in search of guidance Asked but given nothing - remembering everything It matters not now, it all came to fuel Silent growth Hoarse rust Can not be broken I trust the shapes Heathen vertigo Repaint the curses and bellow Sailing past to old shores In the distant haze The waving motion Is not for you In every direction stretched and torn no more (It) seems we’ve been here all along |

Darkness... Fear... Life... Cold... Left alone with no will Walking in footsteps of the fallen Blinded by lack of reason Indulging the tales of doom ...Farewell, May the darkness bind them No one will Remember the pain when we are... Gone... Desolate... Unconscious... Lost... Where lays the ones I’ve slain? Did I become any wiser? Will their anger hunt me down? Did I sacrifice in vain? ...Farewell, Hear the sound of solitude No one will Walk the bridge, to darkness overcome Settlement... Trust... Relief... Dawn... Guide me, watcher in the skies Transform the forces of the dead In my dreams I’ll hunt them down I now know the truth |

1. | Ethica Odini | 07:59 | Show lyrics |
Reckless men - So righteous, so clean Towards the light - So bashful, so pure Who told you to abandon life Your strength, free will And bow for the light? The light! And turn from the spinning wheel Fear of the judgment! Obey! Ref (x2): You have the key to mystery Pick up the runes; unveil and see Judgment comes, before us lie The paths of war and you may die You have the key, cross over and see The old and wind-cold tree Walk the steps and you’ll hear the winds that cry Search beyond the blinded eyes Listen before you preach Don’t leave yourself behind Honor life, when life has ceased Welcome the dawn Beware the glory tales Watch their deeds - So just and fair Crusaders - Appointed by God Who told you to step inside and preach? Did you forget the daggers lurking in the dark? Couldn’t you listen or didn’t you ever learn how? Were you saved? Were you saved, so you could slaughter with grace? Ref (x2): You have the key to mystery Pick up the runes; unveil and see Judgment comes, before us lie The paths of war and you may die You have the key, cross over and see The old and wind-cold tree Walk the steps and you’ll hear the winds that cry Search beyond the blinded eyes Listen before you preach Don’t leave yourself behind Honor life, when life has ceased Welcome the dawn Beware the glory tales Hold on, don’t fade away Don’t be afraid to bleed, afraid to dream Let the elders enlighten the path They have cried for you, died for you Drasill - Ride on Drasill - Ride on Ride on Drasill |

This journey without movement Heading out for no-man’s land The way ahead my only ally Early hours, in the silence This credence keeps me upright Through the storms and disasters A straight line towards the unknown end Deceit waits on the back roads This unwavering inner Keeps fear a welcomed pointer I, uprooted; now the fertile soil As plot and shadows thicken This juggernaut cannot be stopped On any scale or planet Ghostly tracks in my wake and ahead An experience, cannot be shared Ref: Wheels of time Keep them turning Carriage of concepts Circling the planes Lightless voyage, blinding speeds Certain; I’ll stay the distance Abstract shapes, enigmatic design I know enough to endure Lightless corridors, ageless Familiar / Alien Contradictory engines run high Deeper and further above Journey of no promises Beyond the lust for rewards Focus on the movement of the Wheel Union of stillness and change Journey of the ages all I’ll follow outside the edge Breath, blood, sacrifice and bleeding eyes Unending journey ahead Ref: Wheels of time Keep them turning Carriage of concepts Circling the planes |

See them as they rise From ancient sands - constructs They’re reaching everywhere and nowhere As they’re trampling on the archetypes The Listener warns Tension... Pain... Fear... Violence... It reaches the limit set by Ageless reason Tension paints logic’s hunts Pain dances... (with justice) Lies for the liar served without remorse Like the gifts bring gifts Altering view Constant truth - drained of spirit By own will "Ref..": Waruun Waruun - Drawn in the dust of morning Waruun - The violence of the soul Suicides upon the altars Of evasion Feared dissonance kept away - nails on stone As darkness descends Can’t find our way out of here Yet... It was built by you Words on the trap-door "Ref..": Waruun Waruun - Drawn in the dust of morning Waruun - The violence of the soul Tension... Pain... Fear... Violence... How could freedom become the cage-maker ? What spoke to the mind-slayer ? |

To war! Let the havoc be revenged March! Against the lords of perdition Live! Breathe! Persecute the ones that left to persecute your soul Crush the scepters of the kings and come and Hail the vows of old! Ref: Hear them cry Watch them fly Let them bow to the altars of suppression Till you’ll feel them die Hear them cry Watch them fly The power and the free will they deny Beyond the mist Far above On the highest peak The beacon is lit On the highest peak The beacon will burn How did I get his far? How did it come to this? Was my blood split in vain? Did I survive, did I break the chains? Was I ever alive? Struggle through the wounds Struggle through the fears Struggle through the truths You stand alone Come through! Release me! Ref: Hear them cry Watch them fly Let them bow to the altars of suppression Till you’ll feel them die Hear them cry Watch them fly The power and the free will they deny Beyond the mist Far above On the highest peak The beacon is lit On the highest peak The beacon will burn I walked this far myself My blood dripped from my knife I awoke, and was alive I did no longer weep I saw my beacon, I ran to aid |

I can see through the veil Seeing all I need see Nothing is hidden here Deep into the woods Casting Letters that speak of... All Is all Is naught No-one but me Knows of this place Sanctuary Where I construct Dream while there is no strife Anguish pulls no weight One can see and the other is blind Through the same pair of eyes We have lost sight Of the night-side of the self Hunted by the fear Of reunion Night-sight is bliss For he who dares look into A world where you embrace the opposite Where you are whole There is no lasting joy In numbness and dogma Too much is too little in knowledge Driven by mystery We have lost sight Of the night-side of the self Hunted by the fear Of reunion Night-sight is bliss For he who dares look into A world where you embrace the opposite Where you are whole |

Track them down Bring them to silence My will is the law I’ll bring you life and growth And erase the memories of despair I’ll suffer for your needs Don’t you forget where your domain lies Obey your slaves, with their feeble cries We’ll force you back if you linger here We mock your strength, we see your fear You’ll never set a slave’s mind free Your bane is the grip of anxiety At the ninth...

1. | Thoughts like Hammers | 09:30 | Show lyrics |
Celestial buried mind resting, resting without peace still. Don’t know where I drowned Cornered and defeated. Yes, there’s a thought forming! Patterns in the currents, mud-dwellers at the star-floor. Nourishment for the mind seeps, harvest through suffering absorbed in desperation. Assimilated logic, drawn towards the ladders. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Instinctive destruction sparked. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Knowing only my own dissent. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Static is the common language. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Celestial buried mind resting, resting without peace still. Assimilated logic, drawn towards the ladders. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Instinctive destruction sparked. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Knowing only my own dissent. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Static is the common language. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Motion remains our mothertongue, failure might not be what it seems. All is broken for a reason, familiar blood drawn for painting. Willing another perspective, flashing scenes seeing children above. Knowing there will be another life, sacrificing remnants of the past. Walking all on my own forever, the illusion no longer needed. It is spoken without words of doubt. Now we move the stars above, below. And dwell beneath the layers of dirt, my runic patterns in the current. My runic patterns in the current! Motion remains our mothertongue, failure might not be what it seems. All is broken for a reason, familiar blood drawn for painting. Willing another perspective, flashing scenes seeing children above. |

2. | Death in the Eyes of Dawn | 08:17 | Show lyrics |
The creation I can’t remember, unsecure I roam in fear. The final steps I’ve taken, what waits beyond this void? "I sucked out your lifeblood, tore down your fortress. Burned down the woods, I poisoned your harvest!" Trust and hope I have lost I see death in the eyes of dawn, deceit forged in the darkened depths of the womb. Seeds of betrayal planted in rotten soil. The ground swells, it’s the end. I see the face of the dead God. Legions of the dead invading our realm, forever deaf to the distant warning. Blinded are my eyes, tied are my hands. Sleeping wide awake, got lost within myself. I followed all the paths, rigtheous in my heart. Slept without the dreams, got lost within myself. When will I remember? When will I hear the call? When shall my forces gather? When shall my battle begin? "I’ve insulted your life since birth, you have never seen my true face. You failed to realize I’m your kin, I infected your mind when you smiled!" Awake! The grip of anxiety shall strangle the brave no more. The son of earth and wind shall guide us in our wake. "You might hear the horn resound, you might summon back your King. As long as you love I will hate, as long as you breed I will kill!" Blinded are my eyes, tied are my hands. Sleeping wide awake, got lost within myself. I followed all the paths, rigtheous in my heart. Slept without the dreams, got lost within myself. |

3. | Veilburner | 06:46 | Show lyrics |
Finding the truth doesn’t mean there’s an answer. Who would have thought? It seems worthless, there’s no end to the travesty, idiocy. It would seem I’ve arrived at the meeting point between then and now. A different place, the past is alive and the future’s now. I can not tolerate being held in the dark, I need to see, I will the flames. Expanding light from within a cube of darkness, I need to see, I will the flames. I found myself crawling, looking for an "out", and made the gap no longer closed anymore because my signs are burning. Burning the veil, killing our idols, scarring ourselves as well Necessity, carer/killer, we’re all gonna see We weren’t prepared! I can not tolerate being held in the dark, I need to see, I will the flames. Expanding light from within a cube of darkness, I need to see, I will the flames. I found myself crawling, looking for an "out", and made the gap no longer closed anymore because my signs are burning. Burning the veil, killing our idols, scarring ourselves as well Necessity, carer/killer, we’re all gonna see We weren’t prepared! Grasping the liquid glass, shaping my own sight. Stare at the sun, absorbing death. Reach into the well where father laid his eyes! |

Approaching life from the seeds of time. Cosmic pulse, aeons of chaos. Feel the flames, the streams of life below. Feel the flames that blinds your inner eye. Seek and find what lingers deep inside. Seek and find but do not try to understand. Spread the wings and fly into your mind. Spread the wings and find the eagle in the sky. Find the source, the ancient passion play. Find the source, the roots of the mountain. Hark, men of faith! Where were you when your children bled to death? Listen, men of law! Where were you when the mothers were slain? Feel the flames, the streams of life below. Feel the flames that blind your inner eye. Seek and find what lingers deep inside. Seek and find but do not try to understand. Hark, men of faith! When you set fire to the fields the grass grew stronger. Listen, men of law! When you turned from life the flames endured. Leave order, the fiend of the earth. The self is all you’ve got! Enter life on the waves from the void, behold the ancient roots. And the battles shall forever go on, with peace comes our certain doom. The mother will love as she hates. Where there is life, you will die! Approaching life, aeons of chaos! Feel the flames, the streams of life below. Feel the flames that blinds your inner eye. Seek and find what lingers deep inside. Seek and find but do not try to understand. Spread the wings and fly into your mind. Spread the wings and find the eagle in the sky. Find the source, the ancient passion play. Find the source, the roots of the mountain. |

Your arms, life and death Ride the chariot, the wheel of life Underneath the eyes we pray Seven horses running in circles until the end of days Above the wonders of man, sailing the cosmic seas Risen from the darkness to rule the ancient world Never to return, the eyes will forever shine on Omniscient, glorious - the all seeing eye Malign, burning grace All rise! The seeds you will bring Sons of man, bow in awe Omnipotent, Lumina Titan In the havens you greeted us Late is the hour you submerge Endless travel towards the dawn Hail the flames inside you, cosmic flowers in bloom Hail the spears impaling, the servants of doom Given are the truths, together we shall search Unveiling the riddles, hidden beneath the stones Left is an ancient entity Ready to sacrifice, what we may (have) achieved Ending a journey with no end Defying the ones drowned in salvation Letting the forces roam free A circle fulfilled |

See her cruel beauty Hostile to the constants Ever changing scourge Ashen thrones Converge upon me Come winds of destruction Electrocute the stale Purify Thaw! False ice to water Speak! Sharp tongues sever sick limbs Numb! Do not look away Opt! Permanent particles Curtains be unshut Old wounds opened and bled Wishes laid to rest Ashen hopes Reflections of truth Drops of eternity Instances captured Clarify Etch! New shapes will emerge Need! Reaching into the dark Owe! I opened the gates Roar! O’, devourer of time There’s this chamber Randomly placed in time and space Echo chamber Achievable dream Capacitate Heuristic observers might find Ends to the means Rain is less scarce there You heeded my call - now read my signs And chose to follow Dominate slavelessly Enter my thoughts, And walk with me throughout these barren lands Aligning wordlessly Tell me my own story, Through the inner and nether worlds Healing accordingly Into the night side, irreversible and remorseless Slaughterous and reborn Hagalaz! -End the charade! Return to the wombs A funeral lost Baptize the faceless Light up the beacons -End the hunt for truth! Time to break it down Owe nothing to trees Nullify the past Enter the maternal fires Entropy Deter rot within the roots Nourisher Old fears no longer controls Negation Enter maternal fires Xiphoid dreams -I close the gate! Silence the voices Take to heart the fear And nourish the pain Nothing can hurt us Called upon the mare Ended the sham reign These forces in tow Endlessness opens Ashen memories Retain the images In need of her strength Time changes Death is encountered Over and over again Worship her pyres Navigate |

Forsaken Entombed in monumental self-moral Embracing the absurd Reason turned to abstraction Drowned in the shallowest of waters Forgotten the will To learn Abandoned every urge to Create Every border can be breached By the glorious armies of united perfection Marching forth Aiming low A thirst to kill Defending the nothingness Forsaken The unborn learns to hate Navigation towards destruction Letting our ideals slowly rot And thus... Thus we choose To die... Die with pride And innocence... We became the heralds Born and raised to preach And to erase all traces Of the abstract and evil Swords... Temples... Fires... Doom... We failed to see what we fed The serpent of the deeps It grew and strangled the truths We were embracing the lies We once could see its eyes The stare of death and deceit We feared not, the secrets we knew The guardian of the deeps Lost... And the darkness will prevail Forever... Folding hands with clouded sight Ceremonial rituals will obscure the mind Forever... Lost... And turning blossom to decay Forever... Fighting wars with clouded sight Ceremonial rituals will obscure the mind Forever... |

Cruel punishment of self-destruction, a way of letting him in Burning flesh, repenting sins of past A hope of future bliss but my soul is doomed to slavery My wounds can not be counted in numbers - all everything for his glory! A solid trip with a dark desire to deprave the (remaining) chastity of my haunted soul Pale, hungry i wait for his command... Bitter is the journey to hell - for i must bow before the fires of hell A child of the dark, a hunter, with a blessing of evil, That is a curse with which i wander - hand in hand This is a leason in demonic possession Possession of evil - possession of my lovely end... |

Facing fear, facing birth The emptiness, the void, the dreams Unfold Burning shrouds, the air is cold The memories of time and space Unknown Sleeping tight in rising flames A mind evokes, the self returns Unhurt Seeing life, through the clouds Abandoning the womb, a seed Untouched Like a sea of hope Assembling forces of old By the betrayer’s funeral pyre Building with fire! Like a field with endless harvest The first breath we take Uruz awakes, reaching higher Building with fire! Like a hammer of thoughts Our minds reborn What the inner I desire Building with fire! Come and feel the silence Come and watch the sun Come and bid farewell Tales will be told Tales will be ignored Tales will once again destroy Facing fear, facing birth The emptiness, the void, the dreams Unfold Burning shrouds, the air is cold The memories of time and space Unknown Sleeping tight in rising flames A mind evokes, the self returns Unhurt A picture from a dream forms a destiny The circle of life bound to be broken The gods cannot elude the pain A path in time built with fire Facing fear, facing birth The emptiness, the void, the dreams Unfold Burning shrouds, the air is cold The memories of time and space Unknown Sleeping tight in rising flames A mind evokes, the self returns Unhurt Seeing life, through the clouds Abandoning the womb, a seed Untouched |

7. | Striker | 05:12 | Show lyrics |
From soar to plague From clouds to imprisonment From wheat to the gallows In dreams of free will Strike Never saw fields Quite like these Never will Never would With open eyes Shut Useless wreckage In the wake Cannot hear the chatter Cannot bear the drag Leave When they saw With what they were left They screamed in fear They screamed for blood Endure Should I build I will build my own Knife and noose In flesh and will Strike |

1. | Building with Fire | 08:10 | Show lyrics |
Facing fear, facing birth The emptiness, the void, the dreams Unfold Burning shrouds, the air is cold The memories of time and space Unknown Sleeping tight in rising flames A mind evokes, the self returns Unhurt Seeing life, through the clouds Abandoning the womb, a seed Untouched Like a sea of hope Assembling forces of old By the betrayer’s funeral pyre Building with fire! Like a field with endless harvest The first breath we take Uruz awakes, reaching higher Building with fire! Like a hammer of thoughts Our minds reborn What the inner I desire Building with fire! Come and feel the silence Come and watch the sun Come and bid farewell Tales will be told Tales will be ignored Tales will once again destroy Facing fear, facing birth The emptiness, the void, the dreams Unfold Burning shrouds, the air is cold The memories of time and space Unknown Sleeping tight in rising flames A mind evokes, the self returns Unhurt A picture from a dream forms a destiny The circle of life bound to be broken The gods cannot elude the pain A path in time built with fire Facing fear, facing birth The emptiness, the void, the dreams Unfold Burning shrouds, the air is cold The memories of time and space Unknown Sleeping tight in rising flames A mind evokes, the self returns Unhurt Seeing life, through the clouds Abandoning the womb, a seed Untouched |

2. | Death in the Eyes of Dawn | 08:01 | Show lyrics |
The creation I can’t remember Unsecure I roam in fear The final steps I’ve taken What waits beyond this void? "I sucked out your lifeblood Tore down your fortress Burned down the woods I poisoned your harvest" Trust and hope I have lost I see death In the eyes of dawn Deceit Forged in the darkened depths of the womb Seeds of betrayal planted in rotten soil The ground swells It’s the end I see the face Of the dead god Legions of the dead Invading our realm Forever deaf to the distant warning Blinded are my eyes Tied are my hands Sleeping wide awake Got lost within myself I followed all the paths Rigtheous in my heart Slept without the dreams Got lost within myself When will I remember? When will I hear the call? When shall my forces gather? When shall my battle begin? "I’ve insulted your life since birth You have never seen my true face You failed to realize I’m your kin I infected your mind when you smiled" Awake! The grip of anxiety Shall strangle the brave no more The son of earth and wind Shall guide us in our wake "You might hear the horn resound You might summon back your king As long as you love, I will hate As long as you breed, I will kill" Blinded are my eyes Tied are my hands Sleeping wide awake Got lost within myself I followed all the paths Rigtheous in my heart Slept without the dreams Got lost within myself |

3. | In Times | 10:45 | Show lyrics |
Dagaz! There is no end Around and further Into the distance In times found A secret key The feather light astral beauty Outside the realm of thoughts Within the reach of certain dreams Spun from golden leaves of black holes And ancient thread Across the dimensional dome Above the lone runner A burst of all things bright All things bright and beautiful No more longing In the flickering of the present Travel across the ocean of times The giants of the night side wade Silently through the sea Crossing through a singular point Opened by runic Penetration Standing by the sea, I wonder Alas, my aching heart We have come to dissolve the shackles So that we might live and breathe In all our times In the flickering of the present Travel across the ocean of times Become the other as yourself All things made Possible All times made Achievable Enter as you leave it all behind Exit through the heart See the endless suns burning The frost that never thaws Rites of stillness In Praise transition Times Rites of stillness In Praise transition Times Awoken from lust less slumber Ice from the eyes Fire from the mind Having found direction In Side the out Side Inside times Dagaz! |

The mind and the flesh The atom space The deity and mankind The distant nebulae The aeons of death and glory All within the infant’s first breath Onwards to life Onwards to death Onwards to madness Onwards to sense The chalice of daylight The coiling sword The blood of infinity The solar eclipse The instigation of doom All united in timelessness Onwards to create Onwards to erase Onwards to illuminate Onwards to the bridge Every morning as the first Dawning marks the new battle Each nightfall as the last The wounds can heal of mark the end All times in a single heartbeat In circular disintegration In between night and day Lies the shrine of secrets In between mind and chaos Dwells the non-being The mind and the flesh The atom space The deity and mankind The solar eclipse The instigation of doom All united in timelessness Onwards to life Onwards to death Onwards to madness Onwards to sense |

5. | Convoys to Nothingness | 09:06 | Show lyrics |
Faces - eyes - noise Floating patterns of no coherency, none needed From behind the chapel of dreams came imagery From another world The left for a brighter star A new home called "now" Womb - death - dawn Follow seafarers on an ocean of silence Remaining humanoid shells, a distant thought The chasm between truth and flesh paved With bricks from secret cities Entering linear orbit Crushing the foundations of divided times Suns reflected Convoys... Convoys to... Convoys to nothingness... |

6. | As Fire Swept Clean the Earth | 07:15 | Show lyrics |
I close my eyes As Fire Swept Clean the Earth Nothing left to strangle As the cords were torn from our hearts "Tired I blew out my last warning, the claws were ripping me apart" As we emerged From darker dungeons Splendor of yellow hells Expanded swollen eyes No words were said As Fire Swept Clean the Earth Would the mothers be crying? If they saw torches in our hands? "The wind, once able to conquer, captured As Fire Swept Clean the Earth" A kiss was placed Upon my cheek And all color came back Melting in solid blue tune |

7. | Isa | 04:47 | Show lyrics |
Been standing here for ages Watching the valleys blossom and burn The pyres of yesterday smells of losing you Preserved we are, portraits (in the glass depths) I picked up the shattered mirror, put them in water Cold as my dreams Isa: Still - Standing - Empowered Isa: Watching you die, with tears of ice Isa: Detached - Silent - Ecstasy Isa: We are the dead We arrived here from different spaces Bidding the wooden shrines farewell Concealed within dead lips lies the rope That forged us then tore us to shreds Distant opposite assembly at the shores They’re telling me it’s time to let go A time to burn, a time to build With your own hands a room within that room Bring it all towards that centre and tremble Bring her back from the shadows and kiss her Retrieve the sword from the abyss Hold back the tidal wave Isa: Still - Standing - Empowered Isa: Watching you die, with tears of ice Isa: Detached - Silent - Ecstasy Isa: We are the dead |

Ah, ah. We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow. Hammer of the gods, will drive our ships to new land. To fight the hordes, and sing and cry. Valhalla I am coming. Always sweep with, with threshing oar. Our only goal will be the western shore. Ah, ah. We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow. How soft your fields so green. Can whisper tales of gore. Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your over Lords. Always sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore. So now you’d better stop, and rebuild all your ruins. For peace and trust can win the day, despite of all your losing. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh Ooh. Ah. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. |

1. | Opeth - Eternal Rains Will Come | 06:55 | Show lyrics |
Eternal rains will come We should say goodbye And suffer on our own As all our thoughts were wrong So hard to keep the darkness from seeping through And when the flood comes to drown us There is nothing we can do You told me not to wait Unless I could wait forever Because there is no time for us Take comfort in what was So hard to keep the darkness from seeping through And when the flood comes to drown us There is nothing we can do Here it comes, our death comes And in my sleep I can’t forget Reaching for the surface, I see you |

2. | Opeth - Demon of the Fall | 07:47 | Show lyrics |
Silent dance with death. Everything is lost. Torn by the arrival of Autumn. The blink of an eye, you know it’s me. You keep the dagger close at hand. And you saw nothing. False love turned to pure hate. The wind cried a lamentation before merging with the grey. Demon of the fall. Gasping for another breath. She rose, screaming at closed doors. Seductive faint mist forging through the cracks in the wall. I shant resist. In tears for all of eternity. She turned around and faced me for the first time. Run away, run away. Just one second, and I was left with nothing. Her fragrance still pulsating through damp air. That day came to an end. And she had lost in me, her Credence. |

3. | Opeth - The Devil’s Orchard | 08:07 | Show lyrics |
This trail is obsidian, the grip of Winter uncoiled A lover would follow me Cast down and sworn to the dark Take the road where devils speak "God is dead" The wealth of darkness Inside you, telling you "now" Your senses corrupted Controlling a poisonous will Take the road where devils speak "God is dead" In the corner of my eye You are tearing flesh from bone Led the blind in search to find A pathway to the sun Saw the signs intertwine And forgave me all my sins No stigmas revealing our vices And there are no stigmas revealing our vices God is dead |

Floating on mist Crept up the caverns of my brain Received no warning From nothing to a life code Walk with me, you’ll never leave Wait to see your spirit free Tell me how your heart’s in need As I drown you in the sea Unwinding snares of distrust Your wrist in my fast grip Look me in the eye, I’m clear This is your time Face down beneath the waterline Gazing into the deep From love to death In a time span of seconds Oblivious to regret Pushed into belief In liquid cellophane Gasping for air Mercy in my eyes Is the shade of the night The piercing sounds you make Soaring higher, higher now And once left in my wake Your memory’s nothing but the scars on me All over now Forgotten why I needed this Standing down Disappear into the obscure Resting days Waiting for new disease Biding time Locked inside insanity It always burns within The downward spiral never ends When driven into sin Your salvation’s found in a sinner’s deed All over now Forgotten why I needed this Standing down Disappear into the obscure Resting days Waiting for new disease Biding time Locked inside insanity The devil guides the way Tells me what to say Pours himself inside And snuffs the final light Deliverance Thrown back at me Deliverance Laughing at me Deliverance Thrown back at me Deliverance Laughing at me |

Force open the river’s mouth Do not wait for the pour Go push open The fleshy eyelids Before dawn calls upon us Sound the golden horns Before they scout the gates Go home and build the temples As cognition ignites Speed of thought Motion with purpose Eyes ahead Chasing time Live in dreams more real Than any days of yore Flow, in more ways than one Dance to the discord that be Laugh out loud At the truths left behind Welcome to the place That is not As the flame ignites Speed of thought Motion with purpose Eyes ahead |

Through air Along the path I laid Saw it race by Memories in tow Into the belly of the earth Light of dawn, all alone Char-like shadows, slither away – through water Wounded, burned and without site Not waiting for another night Now headed for the wild Called from afar and within – through soil Leaving lost wars behind Wildfires of need, calm waters of the mind – through thought Battle cries now resounded On a field at the world’s end A clash of gods and giants In the centre of the mind Through emotion Through reality Saw a mound Had to bury Sung for another me Had to do (it), so that I could be One for sight Two for flesh Three were the norns Four corners of the worlds Five the number of a man Six one two and three Seven streams of blood Eight-legged child of Loke |

Fortresses built by idle hands Weapons forged in the shadows Solemn words praise the devoted and brave Stepping on the threshold of the insane -The walls must be breached The branches of the old tree creak The songbird sings it’s elegy The lifetime leaves are turning pale The serpent gnawing and spitting Praising the high king on his golden throne For shelter, harvest and peace Seeking council in the halls of the tyrant Dwelling on the doorsteps of doom -The walls must be breached The branches of the old tree creak The soldier swinging swords The glare in the hearts is fading The serpent feasts with joy Chase the serpent Step on his tail Grant it eyes to behold Grant it wings to expand Grant it thoughts to convey Grant it claws to destroy EIHWAZ/EOH Envision the sacrifice EIHWAZ/EOH Glance into the worlds EIHWAZ/EOH Let the blood heal EIHWAZ/EOH Let it grow, let it rot As certain as birth and death Grief will follow laughter and joy The vermin will return to the lair But the branches will never break -The walls will breach |

(Rune-chants) A clear voice shouted From the bridge between the worlds Hidden among misty peaks A mother tongue forgotten In a realm of dead and night In a realm of light and day In a place I roamed In a void I despised In a maze I strayed In an ocean I drowned The claws were scratching On the journey to the stars Yet not unveiling But words were spoken Two bright eyes stared From behind the sun Yet it stared through thin air A long lost brotherhood The shield was broken In my dreams I awake The reflection danced In my centre I died In a state of non-reality In my astral hours In my daylight sleep The feathers lifted me (Rune-chants) |

Roads end getting nearer We cover distance still not together If I am the storm, if I am the wonder Will I have flashlights, nightmares And sudden explosions There’s no room where I can go and You’ve got secrets too I don’t know what more to ask for I was given just one wish |

The quiet forest Before man came A secret time (before time) Giants’ steps thunder Upon the mossy ground Carving a hole In ageless stone The Fallen Barren walls No escaping this I’ve come to see I will not return Found no solace within My darkened shrine A quiet pulse Impossibly far below The wavelength of gateways Markings felt deep Instinctively alert For the work to be done Maps to the abyss Words dissolved Voices of eternity No longer divided Everything burns Out of the dark Reshaped existence In the shadow-fields |

3. | Sequence | 06:39 | Show lyrics |
Genome of the secret being Residing in the Shadow-half Hidden words of creation Sought out by the light-bearer Eternal whispers Drops from the Gap An open hand into the Ether Peeling Downwards in Holy Layers Finding the sequence there It opens it all A divine phrase buried deep In cosmic ramblings Cyclic thought patterns Backwards bent cold logic Does not matter If you’re Tail or Mouth All Serpent - Chasing the end Chasing the beginning Blood-drawn walls, quantum songs Ecstatic dual peaj, dead-stare distants Animal thirst and Shaman sight War-moon and atom souls Finding the sequence here Opening it all A keep drawn deep within The Chaotic lines of History It is not a secre Being kept from man It is a poem dwelling Within thousand-fold screaming choirs Scaled down and spoken softly The sequence unfolds Utilized for will and power Kept within our hearts and songs |

4. | Homebound | 05:26 | Show lyrics |
When gold blinds I will see beyond the false torches The howling will guide us Walking the plains between worlds When houses fall I will be the pillar in the hail Unmoving, we travel Crossing oceans in mythological dreams When the chains are broken I will watch the sunset of the gods As we fall, we stand still Revealing secrets of the past When it ends I will know the way to the portal We shall descend again Moving in circular infinity When When gold blinds When houses fall When the chains are broken When it ends |

Mennesket vert fødd ut or mørkret Så gløymer ho det Han vik unna det Dei lærer å frykta det Me ber det alle med oss Djupt der nede under havet av tanklar Eit uendeleg mørkre Kor jotnnesteg tordnar i eit omvendt kosmos Ei reise mot eit heile tek mennesket hit Så skuggen kan leie, og lysbæraren Lærer å lytte til det som fødte ho Så den nyfødte guden kan finne Eit språk han allereie kjende Saman stig dei oppatt Inn i verda; no av ekte lys Født om att av mørkret English Translation: Mankind is born from darkness Then she forgets it He shrinks away form it They learn to fear it We all carry it within Deep down below; under the sea of thoughts A never-ending darkness Where steps of giants thunder through an inverted cosmos A journey towards wholeness takes mankind here So that the shadow may guide, And the Lightbearer may learn to listen to what gave her birth So that the newborn god may find a language he already knew Together they rise again Into the world; now of true light Born again from darkness |

6. | Urjotun | 04:21 | Show lyrics |
The Primeval taurus Offspring of passion Born from illusions of time Dawn faced in icy waters Fertilizing dreams of existence Giving birth, awakening gods Breeding love, the glorious eye Blinded by the cosmic eclipse From the ether rain of chaos The mountain rose to power Behind the shadow of creation The jester laughed At the fields of war and pain Dwells the warlord of disillusion Mocking the will to live Strangling lords and kings |

7. | Flight of Thought and Memory | 06:22 | Show lyrics |
The mourning Self, center of all The Conqueror, weeping upon the throne Seeing all, yet blind to the realm of dreams Ruling all, yet deaf to the roars from within A god of war assembling an army A god of order, trembling in fear The horse master breaches the branches Riding as wisdom unfolds The rune-wielder lurks in the shadows Riding as the giants behold A warrior’s farewell to armors and spears A shaman hangs from the gallows pole Seeing all, close to the edge of reason Ruling all, on wings above chasms of madness An eye for the power and glory An eye for the pain and despair By the roots far below The Old One spoke At the core of the earth One shall seek Eyes will be blinded And truths will emerge A flight for the thought A flight for the Memory "Du runer finn teikna og tydde stavar, Mykje store stavar, mykje sterke stavar, Som fimbul-tul farga og høge makter maksla Og Ragna-ropt skar" ’Veit du å riste dei? Veit du å råde dei? Veit du å farge dei? Veit du å freiste dei? Veit du til bøn dei? Veit du til blöt deit? Veit du å sende dei? Veit du å slakte dei?’ English Translation: "You find runes drawn and the meaning of staves Very mighty staves, very strong staves, Which the Fimbul-tul colored and high powers shaped And Ragna-ropt carved" ’Do you know how to carve them? Do you know how to council them? Do you know how to tint them? Do you know how to test them? Do you know how to summon them? Do you know how to surrender them? Do you know how to send them? Do you know how to stop them?’ |

9. | Distant Seasons | 04:31 | Show lyrics |
Two dreams, under the quiet sun Ended long ago, and just begun Moments gone eternally Time is cosmic vanity Preserved in folded spaces vast No distance between "if" and past Now that I am hunting shadows Know that this is the way I chose I need the light you spawn We will live an endless dawn Moments gone eternally Time is cosmic vanity Preserved in folded spaces vast No distance between "if" and past |

1. | Emperor - I Am the Black Wizards | 06:25 | Show lyrics |
Mightiest am I, But I am not alone in this cosmos of mine. For the black hills consists of black souls, Souls that already dies one thousand deaths. Behind the stone walls (of centuries) they breed their black art. Boiling their spells in cauldrons of black gold. Far up in the mountains, Where the rain fall not far, Yet the Sun cannot reach. The wizards, my servants, Summon the souls of macrocosm. No age will escape my wrath. I travel through time and I return to the future. I gather wisdom now lost. I visit again the eternally ancient caves, Before a mighty Emperor thereupon came. Watching the mortals "discovering" my chronicles, guarded By the old demons, even unknown to me. Once destroyed their souls are being summoned To my timeless prison of hate. It is delightful to feast upon the screaming souls That were destroyed in my future. How many wizards that serve me with evil, I know not. My empires has no limits. From the never ending mountains black, to the bottomless lakes. I am the ruler and has been for eternities long. I am them. (I am them.) (I am them.) From the never ending mountains black, to the bottomless lakes. I am the ruler and has been for eternities long. My wizards are many, but their essence is mine. Forever they are in the hills in their stone homes of grief. Because I am the spirit of their existence. I am them. I am them. I am them. |

2. | Emperor - Wrath of the Tyrant | 04:16 | Show lyrics |
As the wolves bark at the moon the seventh time As the moon cast its shadow towards the cliff’s edge As the woods are crying their hymn to the almighty one The darkness consumes the happiness At the witching hours He will come forth And cry the names of the chosen ones He will raise His voice of doom He will carry the dust of the fallen warriors He will bear the fires of hell in His eyes He will walk among his souls tonight He will carry the seventh golden sword And bear the sign of evil Hell on Earth, death and destruction The fullmoon shines, and the angels whine The moment of Armageddon is here The ancient masters are back He is the wind, He is the storm He is the woods, He is the roots Nobody will escape the wrath of the tyrant Forever the beast shall wander the Earth |

3. | Emperor - Night of the Graveless Souls | 03:15 | Show lyrics |
When night comes creeping in, Dark restless shades arise. Graveless souls are gathering. Seem to ignite the flame. Creeping shadows roam the night, As a merciless rain is closing upon. Demons coming to sever the Sun. Fearsome beasts come to life. Darkness reigns in the Cosmos. Forces of the Devil’s lair. Innocent or brave, They appear to rape your world. Children of the evil and demonic Curse his love again. Graveless souls awake, Seem to ignite the flame. When night comes creeping in, Dark restless shades arise. Prepare to crawl and run. The Black is here tonight. |
|||
4. | Emperor - Cosmic Keys to My Creations and Times | 06:23 | Show lyrics |
The heavens are lit by the stars Where years of secrets of universal forces lay hid. They shine so bright, but yet They have seen more evil than time itself. Reflected in the deepless lakes (they are drowning in black elements). They are the planetary keys to unlimited wisdom And power for the Emperor to obtain. (They) being the gods of the wolves Whom upon they bark at night, Requesting their next victim in thirst of blood. I enjoy those moments I may haunt with these beasts of the night. What kinds of beings are existing at the deeps of my lakes? They surely must be of an evil race, For no friendly thing can live In such depressive waters. (Here is also a planet similar to the Moon, but its phases is only one And it is in its most powerful for all and ever... There passes no light without the barking of the wolves.) All these landscapes are timeless, And this is all just a part of cosmos, (but) all is mine and past and future is yet to discover... Much have been discovered, but tomorrow I will realise I existed before myself. I will be reborn Before I die. I will realise planets ages old, Created by a ruler with a crown of dragon claws, Arrived with a stargate... A king among the wolves in the night... An observer of the stars. I will realise planets ages old, Created by a ruler with a crown of dragon claws, Arrived with a stargate... A king among the wolves in the night... An observer of the stars. An observer of the stars. An observer of the stars. |

Strokes from oars could be heard, beautiful ships gushed through the sea Like a wind from the north, our ancestors reached the shore Men from Hordaland, Rogaland and Adger gathered for battle in common Proud men with no fear Strokes from the sword crushed the skull of the christian A long time we ruled, kings of the north Many battles we won, at the shores of Midgard But, betrayed by our own brothers we were forced down on our knees Now when the wind once again is howling the thoughts finally goes towards home We shall rise in our glory The white horde will for sure shiver "We died like men Therefore we never vanished Weak is the one the enemy loves Never betray your origin" |

1. | Emperor - I Am the Black Wizards | 06:25 | Show lyrics |
Mightiest am I, But I am not alone in this cosmos of mine. For the black hills consists of black souls, Souls that already dies one thousand deaths. Behind the stone walls (of centuries) they breed their black art. Boiling their spells in cauldrons of black gold. Far up in the mountains, Where the rain fall not far, Yet the Sun cannot reach. The wizards, my servants, Summon the souls of macrocosm. No age will escape my wrath. I travel through time and I return to the future. I gather wisdom now lost. I visit again the eternally ancient caves, Before a mighty Emperor thereupon came. Watching the mortals "discovering" my chronicles, guarded By the old demons, even unknown to me. Once destroyed their souls are being summoned To my timeless prison of hate. It is delightful to feast upon the screaming souls That were destroyed in my future. How many wizards that serve me with evil, I know not. My empires has no limits. From the never ending mountains black, to the bottomless lakes. I am the ruler and has been for eternities long. I am them. (I am them.) (I am them.) From the never ending mountains black, to the bottomless lakes. I am the ruler and has been for eternities long. My wizards are many, but their essence is mine. Forever they are in the hills in their stone homes of grief. Because I am the spirit of their existence. I am them. I am them. I am them. |

As the wolves bark at the moon the seventh time As the moon cast its shadow towards the cliff’s edge As the woods are crying their hymn to the almighty one The darkness consumes the happiness At the witching hours He will come forth And cry the names of the chosen ones He will raise His voice of doom He will carry the dust of the fallen warriors He will bear the fires of hell in His eyes He will walk among his souls tonight He will carry the seventh golden sword And bear the sign of evil Hell on Earth, death and destruction The fullmoon shines, and the angels whine The moment of Armageddon is here The ancient masters are back He is the wind, He is the storm He is the woods, He is the roots Nobody will escape the wrath of the tyrant Forever the beast shall wander the Earth |

3. | Emperor - Night of the Graveless Souls | 03:15 | Show lyrics |
When night comes creeping in, Dark restless shades arise. Graveless souls are gathering. Seem to ignite the flame. Creeping shadows roam the night, As a merciless rain is closing upon. Demons coming to sever the Sun. Fearsome beasts come to life. Darkness reigns in the Cosmos. Forces of the Devil’s lair. Innocent or brave, They appear to rape your world. Children of the evil and demonic Curse his love again. Graveless souls awake, Seem to ignite the flame. When night comes creeping in, Dark restless shades arise. Prepare to crawl and run. The Black is here tonight. |

4. | Emperor - Cosmic Keys to My Creations and Times | 06:23 | Show lyrics |
The heavens are lit by the stars Where years of secrets of universal forces lay hid. They shine so bright, but yet They have seen more evil than time itself. Reflected in the deepless lakes (they are drowning in black elements). They are the planetary keys to unlimited wisdom And power for the Emperor to obtain. (They) being the gods of the wolves Whom upon they bark at night, Requesting their next victim in thirst of blood. I enjoy those moments I may haunt with these beasts of the night. What kinds of beings are existing at the deeps of my lakes? They surely must be of an evil race, For no friendly thing can live In such depressive waters. (Here is also a planet similar to the Moon, but its phases is only one And it is in its most powerful for all and ever... There passes no light without the barking of the wolves.) All these landscapes are timeless, And this is all just a part of cosmos, (but) all is mine and past and future is yet to discover... Much have been discovered, but tomorrow I will realise I existed before myself. I will be reborn Before I die. I will realise planets ages old, Created by a ruler with a crown of dragon claws, Arrived with a stargate... A king among the wolves in the night... An observer of the stars. I will realise planets ages old, Created by a ruler with a crown of dragon claws, Arrived with a stargate... A king among the wolves in the night... An observer of the stars. An observer of the stars. An observer of the stars. |

Strokes from oars could be heard, beautiful ships gushed through the sea Like a wind from the north, our ancestors reached the shore Men from Hordaland, Rogaland and Adger gathered for battle in common Proud men with no fear Strokes from the sword crushed the skull of the christian A long time we ruled, kings of the north Many battles we won, at the shores of Midgard But, betrayed by our own brothers we were forced down on our knees Now when the wind once again is howling the thoughts finally goes towards home We shall rise in our glory The white horde will for sure shiver "We died like men Therefore we never vanished Weak is the one the enemy loves Never betray your origin" |

Strokes from oars could be heard, beautiful ships gushed through the sea Like a wind from the north, our ancestors reached the shore Men from Hordaland, Rogaland and Adger gathered for battle in common Proud men with no fear Strokes from the sword crushed the skull of the christian A long time we ruled, kings of the north Many battles we won, at the shores of Midgard But, betrayed by our own brothers we were forced down on our knees Now when the wind once again is howling the thoughts finally goes towards home We shall rise in our glory The white horde will for sure shiver "We died like men Therefore we never vanished Weak is the one the enemy loves Never betray your origin" |

1. | Emperor - I Am the Black Wizards | 06:25 | Show lyrics |
Mightiest am I, But I am not alone in this cosmos of mine. For the black hills consists of black souls, Souls that already dies one thousand deaths. Behind the stone walls (of centuries) they breed their black art. Boiling their spells in cauldrons of black gold. Far up in the mountains, Where the rain fall not far, Yet the Sun cannot reach. The wizards, my servants, Summon the souls of macrocosm. No age will escape my wrath. I travel through time and I return to the future. I gather wisdom now lost. I visit again the eternally ancient caves, Before a mighty Emperor thereupon came. Watching the mortals "discovering" my chronicles, guarded By the old demons, even unknown to me. Once destroyed their souls are being summoned To my timeless prison of hate. It is delightful to feast upon the screaming souls That were destroyed in my future. How many wizards that serve me with evil, I know not. My empires has no limits. From the never ending mountains black, to the bottomless lakes. I am the ruler and has been for eternities long. I am them. (I am them.) (I am them.) From the never ending mountains black, to the bottomless lakes. I am the ruler and has been for eternities long. My wizards are many, but their essence is mine. Forever they are in the hills in their stone homes of grief. Because I am the spirit of their existence. I am them. I am them. I am them. |

2. | Emperor - Wrath of the Tyrant | 04:16 | Show lyrics |
As the wolves bark at the moon the seventh time As the moon cast its shadow towards the cliff’s edge As the woods are crying their hymn to the almighty one The darkness consumes the happiness At the witching hours He will come forth And cry the names of the chosen ones He will raise His voice of doom He will carry the dust of the fallen warriors He will bear the fires of hell in His eyes He will walk among his souls tonight He will carry the seventh golden sword And bear the sign of evil Hell on Earth, death and destruction The fullmoon shines, and the angels whine The moment of Armageddon is here The ancient masters are back He is the wind, He is the storm He is the woods, He is the roots Nobody will escape the wrath of the tyrant Forever the beast shall wander the Earth |

3. | Emperor - Night of the Graveless Souls | 03:15 | Show lyrics |
When night comes creeping in, Dark restless shades arise. Graveless souls are gathering. Seem to ignite the flame. Creeping shadows roam the night, As a merciless rain is closing upon. Demons coming to sever the Sun. Fearsome beasts come to life. Darkness reigns in the Cosmos. Forces of the Devil’s lair. Innocent or brave, They appear to rape your world. Children of the evil and demonic Curse his love again. Graveless souls awake, Seem to ignite the flame. When night comes creeping in, Dark restless shades arise. Prepare to crawl and run. The Black is here tonight. |

4. | Emperor - Cosmic Keys to My Creations and Times | 06:23 | Show lyrics |
The heavens are lit by the stars Where years of secrets of universal forces lay hid. They shine so bright, but yet They have seen more evil than time itself. Reflected in the deepless lakes (they are drowning in black elements). They are the planetary keys to unlimited wisdom And power for the Emperor to obtain. (They) being the gods of the wolves Whom upon they bark at night, Requesting their next victim in thirst of blood. I enjoy those moments I may haunt with these beasts of the night. What kinds of beings are existing at the deeps of my lakes? They surely must be of an evil race, For no friendly thing can live In such depressive waters. (Here is also a planet similar to the Moon, but its phases is only one And it is in its most powerful for all and ever... There passes no light without the barking of the wolves.) All these landscapes are timeless, And this is all just a part of cosmos, (but) all is mine and past and future is yet to discover... Much have been discovered, but tomorrow I will realise I existed before myself. I will be reborn Before I die. I will realise planets ages old, Created by a ruler with a crown of dragon claws, Arrived with a stargate... A king among the wolves in the night... An observer of the stars. I will realise planets ages old, Created by a ruler with a crown of dragon claws, Arrived with a stargate... A king among the wolves in the night... An observer of the stars. An observer of the stars. An observer of the stars. |

Heimdallr heitir einn áss; hann er kallaðr hviti áss; hann er mikill ok heilagr; tennr hans váru af gulli; Hestr hans heitir Gulltopr Hann býr þar er heitir Himinbjörg við Bifröst þarf hann minna svefn en fugl; hann sér jafnt nótt sem dag hundrað rasta frá sér; hann heyrir ok þat er gras vex á jörðu eao ull á sauðum, ok allt þat er hærra lætr. Hann hefir lúðr þann er Gjallarhorn hetir, ok heyrir blástr hans i alla heima. =========================== English translation: Heimdall Heimdall is the name of an Old Norse God; He is called the Old White Norse God; He is great and holy; His teeth are made of gold; His horse is named Goldtop. He lives where it’s called the mountain in the sky besides Bifrost. He needs less sleep than a bird; He sees night as clear as day One thousand miles away from where he is; He also hear the grass grow from the soil, Or the wool on the sheep and everything that can be heard. He possess the horn that is called the Gjallarhorn, And they can hear him blowing the horn in all the homes. |

Heimdallr heitir einn áss; hann er kallaðr hviti áss; hann er mikill ok heilagr; tennr hans váru af gulli; Hestr hans heitir Gulltopr Hann býr þar er heitir Himinbjörg við Bifröst þarf hann minna svefn en fugl; hann sér jafnt nótt sem dag hundrað rasta frá sér; hann heyrir ok þat er gras vex á jörðu eao ull á sauðum, ok allt þat er hærra lætr. Hann hefir lúðr þann er Gjallarhorn hetir, ok heyrir blástr hans i alla heima. =========================== English translation: Heimdall Heimdall is the name of an Old Norse God; He is called the Old White Norse God; He is great and holy; His teeth are made of gold; His horse is named Goldtop. He lives where it’s called the mountain in the sky besides Bifrost. He needs less sleep than a bird; He sees night as clear as day One thousand miles away from where he is; He also hear the grass grow from the soil, Or the wool on the sheep and everything that can be heard. He possess the horn that is called the Gjallarhorn, And they can hear him blowing the horn in all the homes. |

I rose from my throne, and walked away with the wind Through centuries of weakness Only the strong follow me, on my crusade of darkness In this land where the forest is my throne I have come to re-hunt |

Summon thy hidden wisdom, gather the unholy hate Winter is at hand, frozen my tears will be Created by blasphemy The edge of my sword, the powers of my mind Winter is at hand, as two torches blaze in the dark A warrior dressed in black, granted eternal life Black winds blow my hair, as the voice of the night Whispers my name Blackened ground, misty sound Hear the call for war, the master calling his Warriors to explore by the sign of the horns As the dawn arises the souls of a thousand Young men shall go wild As the fire shines into the night they’re sitting by The campfires awaiting the dawn |

Åretak hørtes, vakre langskip fosset frem Som en vind fra nord, kom våre fedre i land Horder, Ryger og Egder, samlet til felles strid Staute menn uten frykt Sverdslag knuste kristmanns skalle Lenge herkset vi, Nordens konger Mange slag vi vant ved Midgards strender Men, sveket av våre enge, ble vi tvunget ned i kne Når vinden nå igjen jager, vender tankene omsider hjem Vi skal reise oss i vår prakt Sannelig skal kvitehorden skjelve "Vi falt som menn Derfor døde vi ei hen Veik er den som fiender elsker Svik ei ditt opphav" ------------------------------------------------------- English translation: 793 (The Battle of Lindisfarne) Strokes from oars could be heard, beautiful ships gushed through the sea Like a wind from the north, our ancestors reached the shore Men from Hordaland, Rogaland and Adger gathered for battle in common Proud men with no fear Strokes from the sword crushed the skull of the christian A long time we ruled, kings of the north Many battles we won, at the shores of Midgard But, betrayed by our own brothers we were forced down on our knees Now when the wind once again is howling the thoughts finally goes towards home We shall rise in our glory The white horde will for sure shiver "We died like men Therefore we never vanished Weak is the one the enemy loves Never betray your origin" |

Bølgene skærer som en tidens kniv På de glatte svaberg som ennå står To øyne skuer utover de hav Som i fordums tider bar hans slekt til heder Et stille sinn lengter Etter atter å heise seil En sverdram hungrer Etter nidmanns strupe En bortglemt skatt er nå gjennfunnet Båret ut fra Midgards mørke Den kraft skal aldri mer forsvinne Den voktes av en mann fra Hordaland En sorgtung natt er snart over Et fordums minne lyser opp En vind blåser støv fra et gammelt sverd To ravner varsler hans komme Solen går ned i vest Han løfter sitt stolte ansikt Han skuer mot Nordstjernen Mannen fra Hordaland ----------------------------------------------------- English translation: The Man from Hordaland Waves are cutting like a knife of time On the slippery rocks that still stands besides the shore Two eyes are eyeing the seas Towards the seas that once brought his ancestors glory A lonely mind is longing For the raising of sails A swordarm is longing hungrily To cut the throats of cowards A forgotten treasure is now recovered Brought out from the darkness of Midgard Its powers will never again disappear It is guarded by a man from Hordaland A night of sorrow will soon be over Memories from ancient times will glow A wind blows away the dust from an ancient sword Two ravens will predict his return The sets in the west He lifts his proud face He looks towards the North Star The Man From Hordaland |

I gammel tid hersket det en krig Mellom de hellige slekter, baner og æser Da freden kom, ble guddommene forent Opp fra et kar med spytt steg Kvasir "Vis blir den som drikker av mjøden, Kvasirs blod, men ei den som drikker Av den spillte mjød som dryppet fra Falkens ham" Kvasir, hvis skalders far han var, Ble tatt av dage av dvergehender Av Kvasirs blod lagde de skaldemjøden deh hellige drikk Fjalar og Galar myrdet en gang Gilling jotun, Suttungs far I Sinne krevde Suttung mannebot Kvasirs blod ble Suttungs mjød Ut fra Valhall flasket Grimne Kledd opp i falkens drakt Til Jotunheimen og Nitberg Bauge bie narret og Gunnlod sveket Ut fra Nitberg falken fløy Omsider skulle Kvasir hjem, Men da mjøden forsvant ble Suttung vred Ut han styrtet i ørneham Akk, måtte Grimne slippe dyrebar last Slik ble de falske skalder skapt Falken fløy hjem til sin borg Og suttung inn i Tjalves flammer --------------------------------------------- English translation: The Blood of Kvasir A war ruled in ancient times Between the holy races, the Vanirs and the Aces When peace came, the deities united From a bowl filled with spit rose Kvasir "Wise he becomes, he drinks the holy mead the blood of Kvasir, but not he who drinks from the spilled mead that dripped from the falcon" Kvasir the father of poets by dwarf hands he died From the blood of Kvasir they made the mead of poets, the holy drink Fjalar and Galar once murdered Gilling the Giant, the father of Suttung Enraged, Suttung demanded justice to be fullfilled The blood of Kvasir became the mead of Suttung Grimne flew out from Valhalla In the shape of the falcon To the home of Giants and to Nitberg Bauge was decived, and Gunnlod betrayed Out from Nitberg the falcon flew Finally Kvasir should return to Aasgard But when the mead disappeared Suttung became furious Out, in the shape of the eagle he followed Sadly, Grimne had to spill from his valuable treasure Which led to the making of the false poets The falcon flew home to his domains And Suttung flew into the flames of Tjalve |

Lovsanger ble sunget Den gang folket fremdeles var stolt, I de svundne tider, For lenge siden Så kom pesten Pesten fra sør Svik og vranære Forpestet våre sinn Den sterkes lov ble glemt Men forsvant ei Under et lag av tusen års svik Ulmer den norrøne tanke Kjemp! La ei din kraft forgå Vår morgen skal også bli vår kveld De brente våre hov De drepte våre menn Vi skal ta tilbake Det som engang var vårt Kjemp!

Hvor stillheten er øredøvende her inne Hvor rossene aldri visner, da de aldri blomstret Her fant solen aldri frem Selv mørket snur i døren Intet håp, ingen frykt Et hav av tårer som aldri rant Morgendangen bringer bud om åpnede sår Lyset invaderte det endeløse mørket Den klareste farge blir dim om natten Gaten er tom og leder ingensteds Et strik som skar, men ingen hørte Hvem bryr seg? Vi kan alle bli fri "I morgen er en ny dag, Men det var også i dag... ...Blott den ene frykten kjennes Frykten for lyvet" Sovnet inn, i ei blodrødt pledd To døde øyne stirrer tomt Fra en sjel som ble nekter født Døden hilset den som lyvet glemte ---------------------------------------- English translation: Forgotten The silence inside this place is screaming Here, were the roses never wither, as they never bloomed Here the sun never shone Even the darkness never came in No hope, no fear An ocean of tears, that never fell Tomorrow brings remembrance of opened wounds The light invaded the endless darkness A soul, which birth was denied A soul that became forgotten The darkness fades away even the brightest colour The street is empty, and leads to nowhere A shrilling scream, that no one heard Who cares? We can all be free "Tomorrow is a new day But today was new as well... ...For only thing is fear fealt The fear of life" Fallen asleep, wrapped in a blood red blanket Two dead eyes are staring into emptiness From a soul, which birth was denied Death greets the one life forgot |

Åretak hørtes, vakre langskip fosset frem Som en vind fra nord, kom våre fedre i land Horder, Ryger og Egder, samlet til felles strid Staute menn uten frykt Sverdslag knuste kristmanns skalle Lenge herkset vi, Nordens konger Mange slag vi vant ved Midgards strender Men, sveket av våre enge, ble vi tvunget ned i kne Når vinden nå igjen jager, vender tankene omsider hjem Vi skal reise oss i vår prakt Sannelig skal kvitehorden skjelve "Vi falt som menn Derfor døde vi ei hen Veik er den som fiender elsker Svik ei ditt opphav" ------------------------------------------------------- English translation: 793 (The Battle of Lindisfarne) Strokes from oars could be heard, beautiful ships gushed through the sea Like a wind from the north, our ancestors reached the shore Men from Hordaland, Rogaland and Adger gathered for battle in common Proud men with no fear Strokes from the sword crushed the skull of the christian A long time we ruled, kings of the north Many battles we won, at the shores of Midgard But, betrayed by our own brothers we were forced down on our knees Now when the wind once again is howling the thoughts finally goes towards home We shall rise in our glory The white horde will for sure shiver "We died like men Therefore we never vanished Weak is the one the enemy loves Never betray your origin" |

Bølgene skærer som en tidens kniv På de glatte svaberg som ennå står To øyne skuer utover de hav Som i fordums tider bar hans slekt til heder Et stille sinn lengter Etter atter å heise seil En sverdram hungrer Etter nidmanns strupe En bortglemt skatt er nå gjennfunnet Båret ut fra Midgards mørke Den kraft skal aldri mer forsvinne Den voktes av en mann fra Hordaland En sorgtung natt er snart over Et fordums minne lyser opp En vind blåser støv fra et gammelt sverd To ravner varsler hans komme Solen går ned i vest Han løfter sitt stolte ansikt Han skuer mot Nordstjernen Mannen fra Hordaland ----------------------------------------------------- English translation: The Man from Hordaland Waves are cutting like a knife of time On the slippery rocks that still stands besides the shore Two eyes are eyeing the seas Towards the seas that once brought his ancestors glory A lonely mind is longing For the raising of sails A swordarm is longing hungrily To cut the throats of cowards A forgotten treasure is now recovered Brought out from the darkness of Midgard Its powers will never again disappear It is guarded by a man from Hordaland A night of sorrow will soon be over Memories from ancient times will glow A wind blows away the dust from an ancient sword Two ravens will predict his return The sets in the west He lifts his proud face He looks towards the North Star The Man From Hordaland |

Bølgene skærer som en tidens kniv På de glatte svaberg som ennå står To øyne skuer utover de hav Som i fordums tider bar hans slekt til heder Et stille sinn lengter Etter atter å heise seil En sverdram hungrer Etter nidmanns strupe En bortglemt skatt er nå gjennfunnet Båret ut fra Midgards mørke Den kraft skal aldri mer forsvinne Den voktes av en mann fra Hordaland En sorgtung natt er snart over Et fordums minne lyser opp En vind blåser støv fra et gammelt sverd To ravner varsler hans komme Solen går ned i vest Han løfter sitt stolte ansikt Han skuer mot Nordstjernen Mannen fra Hordaland ----------------------------------------------------- English translation: The Man from Hordaland Waves are cutting like a knife of time On the slippery rocks that still stands besides the shore Two eyes are eyeing the seas Towards the seas that once brought his ancestors glory A lonely mind is longing For the raising of sails A swordarm is longing hungrily To cut the throats of cowards A forgotten treasure is now recovered Brought out from the darkness of Midgard Its powers will never again disappear It is guarded by a man from Hordaland A night of sorrow will soon be over Memories from ancient times will glow A wind blows away the dust from an ancient sword Two ravens will predict his return The sets in the west He lifts his proud face He looks towards the North Star The Man From Hordaland |

I gammel tid hersket det en krig Mellom de hellige slekter, baner og æser Da freden kom, ble guddommene forent Opp fra et kar med spytt steg Kvarsir "Vis blir den som drikker av mjøden, Kvarsis blod, men ei den som drikker Av den spillte mjød som dryppet fra Falkens ham" Kvarsir, hvis skalders far han var, Ble tatt av dage av dvergehender Av Kvarsirs blod lagde de skaldemjøden deh hellige drikk Fjalar og Galar myrdet en gang Gilling jotun, Suttungs far I Sinne krevde Suttung mannebot Kvarsir blod ble Suttungs mjød Ut fra Valhall flasket Grimne Kledd opp i falkens drakt Til Jotunheimen og Nitberg Bauge bie narret og Gunnlod sveket Ut fra Nitberg falken fløy Omsider skulle Kvarsir hjem, Men da mjøden forsvant ble Suttung vred Ut han styrtet i ørneham Akk, måtte Grimne slippe dyrebar last Slik ble de falske skalder skapt Falken fløy hjem til sin borg Og suttung inn i Tjalves flammer --------------------------------------------- English translation: The Blood of Kvasir A war ruled in ancient times Between the holy races, the Vanirs and the Aces When peace came, the deities united From a bowl filled with spit rose Kvasir "Wise he becomes, he drinks the holy mead the blood of Kvasir, but not he who drinks from the spilled mead that dripped from the falcon" Kvasir the father of poets by dwarf hands he died From the blood of Kvasir they made the mead of poets, the holy drink Fjalar and Galar once murdered Gilling the Giant, the father of Suttung Enraged, Suttung demanded justice to be fullfilled The blood of Kvasir became the mead of Suttung Grimne flew out from Valhalla In the shape of the falcon To the home of Giants and to Nitberg Bauge was decived, and Gunnlod betrayed Out from Nitberg the falcon flew Finally Kvasir should return to Aasgard But when the mead disappeared Suttung became furious Out, in the shape of the eagle he followed Sadly, Grimne had to spill from his valuable treasure Which led to the making of the false poets The falcon flew home to his domains And Suttung flew into the flames of Tjalve |

La ei din kraft forgå Vår morgen skal også bli vår kveld De brente våre hov De drepte våre menn Vi skal ta tilbake Det som engang var vårt Kjemp!

Hvor stillheten er øredøvende her inne Hvor rossene aldri visner, da de aldri blomstret Her fant solen aldri frem Selv mørket snur i døren Intet håp, ingen frykt Et hav av tårer som aldri rant Morgendangen bringer bud om åpnede sår Lyset invaderte det endeløse mørket Den klareste farge blir dim om natten Gaten er tom og leder ingensteds Et strik som skar, men ingen hørte Hvem bryr seg? Vi kan alle bli fri "I morgen er en ny dag, Men det var også i dag... ...Blott den ene frykten kjennes Frykten for lyvet" Sovnet inn, i ei blodrødt pledd To døde øyne stirrer tomt Fra en sjel som ble nekter født Døden hilset den som lyvet glemte ---------------------------------------- English translation: Forgotten The silence inside this place is screaming Here, were the roses never wither, as they never bloomed Here the sun never shone Even the darkness never came in No hope, no fear An ocean of tears, that never fell Tomorrow brings remembrance of opened wounds The light invaded the endless darkness A soul, which birth was denied A soul that became forgotten The darkness fades away even the brightest colour The street is empty, and leads to nowhere A shrilling scream, that no one heard Who cares? We can all be free "Tomorrow is a new day But today was new as well... ...For only thing is fear fealt The fear of life" Fallen asleep, wrapped in a blood red blanket Two dead eyes are staring into emptiness From a soul, which birth was denied Death greets the one life forgot |

Åretak hørtes, vakre langskip fosset frem Som en vind fra nord, kom våre fedre i land Horder, Ryger og Egder, samlet til felles strid Staute menn uten frykt Sverdslag knuste kristmanns skalle Lenge herkset vi, Nordens konger Mange slag vi vant ved Midgards strender Men, sveket av våre enge, ble vi tvunget ned i kne Når vinden nå igjen jager, vender tankene omsider hjem Vi skal reise oss i vår prakt Sannelig skal kvitehorden skjelve "Vi falt som menn Derfor døde vi ei hen Veik er den som fiender elsker Svik ei ditt opphav" ------------------------------------------------------- English translation: 793 (The Battle of Lindisfarne) Strokes from oars could be heard, beautiful ships gushed through the sea Like a wind from the north, our ancestors reached the shore Men from Hordaland, Rogaland and Adger gathered for battle in common Proud men with no fear Strokes from the sword crushed the skull of the christian A long time we ruled, kings of the north Many battles we won, at the shores of Midgard But, betrayed by our own brothers we were forced down on our knees Now when the wind once again is howling the thoughts finally goes towards home We shall rise in our glory The white horde will for sure shiver "We died like men Therefore we never vanished Weak is the one the enemy loves Never betray your origin" |

Åretak hørtes, vakre langskip fosset frem Som en vind fra nord, kom våre fedre i land Horder, Ryger og Egder, samlet til felles strid Staute menn uten frykt Sverdslag knuste kristmanns skalle Lenge herkset vi, Nordens konger Mange slag vi vant ved Midgards strender Men, sveket av våre enge, ble vi tvunget ned i kne Når vinden nå igjen jager, vender tankene omsider hjem Vi skal reise oss i vår prakt Sannelig skal kvitehorden skjelve "Vi falt som menn Derfor døde vi ei hen Veik er den som fiender elsker Svik ei ditt opphav" ------------------------------------------------------- English translation: 793 (The Battle of Lindisfarne) Strokes from oars could be heard, beautiful ships gushed through the sea Like a wind from the north, our ancestors reached the shore Men from Hordaland, Rogaland and Adger gathered for battle in common Proud men with no fear Strokes from the sword crushed the skull of the christian A long time we ruled, kings of the north Many battles we won, at the shores of Midgard But, betrayed by our own brothers we were forced down on our knees Now when the wind once again is howling the thoughts finally goes towards home We shall rise in our glory The white horde will for sure shiver "We died like men Therefore we never vanished Weak is the one the enemy loves Never betray your origin" |

La ei din kraft forgå Vår morgen skal også bli vår kveld De brente våre hov De drepte våre menn Vi skal ta tilbake Det som engang var vårt Kjemp!

Don’t let your powers disappear Our sunset shall also be our dawn They burned our temples They killed our men We shall take back What once were ours Fight! Deny not your mind Our sunset shall also be our dawn We shall once again sing Hymns from ancient times Like we did in those days A long time ago |

Hvor stillheten er øredøvende her inne Hvor rossene aldri visner, da de aldri blomstret Her fant solen aldri frem Selv mørket snur i døren Intet håp, ingen frykt Et hav av tårer som aldri rant Morgendangen bringer bud om åpnede sår Lyset invaderte det endeløse mørket Den klareste farge blir dim om natten Gaten er tom og leder ingensteds Et strik som skar, men ingen hørte Hvem bryr seg? Vi kan alle bli fri "I morgen er en ny dag, Men det var også i dag... ...Blott den ene frykten kjennes Frykten for lyvet" Sovnet inn, i ei blodrødt pledd To døde øyne stirrer tomt Fra en sjel som ble nekter født Døden hilset den som lyvet glemte ---------------------------------------- English translation: Forgotten The silence inside this place is screaming Here, were the roses never wither, as they never bloomed Here the sun never shone Even the darkness never came in No hope, no fear An ocean of tears, that never fell Tomorrow brings remembrance of opened wounds The light invaded the endless darkness A soul, which birth was denied A soul that became forgotten The darkness fades away even the brightest colour The street is empty, and leads to nowhere A shrilling scream, that no one heard Who cares? We can all be free "Tomorrow is a new day But today was new as well... ...For only thing is fear fealt The fear of life" Fallen asleep, wrapped in a blood red blanket Two dead eyes are staring into emptiness From a soul, which birth was denied Death greets the one life forgot |

La ei din kraft forgå Vår morgen skal også bli vår kveld De brente våre hov De drepte våre menn Vi skal ta tilbake Det som engang var vårt Kjemp! Fornekt et ditt sinn Vår morgen skal også bli vår kveld Vi skal igjen synge Lovsanger fra fordums tid Slik vi gjorde i de dager For pesten kom FOR LENGE SIDEN ------------------------------------ English translation: A Long Time Ago Hymns were sung In the times when our people still were proud In the long gone past A long time ago Then came the disease The disease from south Deception and false knowledge Infected our minds Survival of the fittest was forgotten But still it didn’t disappear Beneath the layers of a thousand years of deception Burns the ancient northern thoughts Fight! Don’t let your powers disappear Our sunset shall also be our dawn They burned our temples They killed our men We shall take back What once were ours Fight! Deny not your mind Our sunset shall also be our dawn We shall once again sing Hymns from ancient times Like we did in those days A long time ago |

Hvor stillheten er øredøvende her inne Hvor rossene aldri visner, da de aldri blomstret Her fant solen aldri frem Selv mørket snur i døren Intet håp, ingen frykt Et hav av tårer som aldri rant Morgendangen bringer bud om åpnede sår Lyset invaderte det endeløse mørket Den klareste farge blir dim om natten Gaten er tom og leder ingensteds Et strik som skar, men ingen hørte Hvem bryr seg? Vi kan alle bli fri "I morgen er en ny dag, Men det var også i dag... ...Blott den ene frykten kjennes Frykten for lyvet" Sovnet inn, i ei blodrødt pledd To døde øyne stirrer tomt Fra en sjel som ble nekter født Døden hilset den som lyvet glemte ---------------------------------------- English translation: Forgotten The silence inside this place is screaming Here, were the roses never wither, as they never bloomed Here the sun never shone Even the darkness never came in No hope, no fear An ocean of tears, that never fell Tomorrow brings remembrance of opened wounds The light invaded the endless darkness A soul, which birth was denied A soul that became forgotten The darkness fades away even the brightest colour The street is empty, and leads to nowhere A shrilling scream, that no one heard Who cares? We can all be free "Tomorrow is a new day But today was new as well... ...For only thing is fear fealt The fear of life" Fallen asleep, wrapped in a blood red blanket Two dead eyes are staring into emptiness From a soul, which birth was denied Death greets the one life forgot |

Åretak hørtes, vakre langskip fosset frem Som en vind fra nord, kom våre fedre i land Horder, Ryger og Egder, samlet til felles strid Staute menn uten frykt Sverdslag knuste kristmanns skalle Lenge herkset vi, Nordens konger Mange slag vi vant ved Midgards strender Men, sveket av våre enge, ble vi tvunget ned i kne Når vinden nå igjen jager, vender tankene omsider hjem Vi skal reise oss i vår prakt Sannelig skal kvitehorden skjelve "Vi falt som menn Derfor døde vi ei hen Veik er den som fiender elsker Svik ei ditt opphav" ------------------------------------------------------- English translation: 793 (The Battle of Lindisfarne) Strokes from oars could be heard, beautiful ships gushed through the sea Like a wind from the north, our ancestors reached the shore Men from Hordaland, Rogaland and Adger gathered for battle in common Proud men with no fear Strokes from the sword crushed the skull of the christian A long time we ruled, kings of the north Many battles we won, at the shores of Midgard But, betrayed by our own brothers we were forced down on our knees Now when the wind once again is howling the thoughts finally goes towards home We shall rise in our glory The white horde will for sure shiver "We died like men Therefore we never vanished Weak is the one the enemy loves Never betray your origin" |

Bring frem ditt offer Vinteren kan lett bli lang Vis dem ære Frøys undersåtter La blodet renne Over hans stolthet Til de er begjæret For vår prakt og vår grøde Vred blir vår konge Hvis ei vårt løfte blir holdt Skral blir den avling Som ei er blitt sådd Spill ei det beste blod Sterke sønner fødes ei i overflod "Kloke volve når skal jeg få se, Grøderike enger" "Når skal jeg igjen få føle, Frøyas myke hender" Døden kommer fort Om en ikke ærer Folket der under Vaneguders frender Bring fram Den hellige Galte Så solen ikke slukner Så vi fremdeles kan ånde Vi ønsket ei å dø Vi ønsket ei å vekke De eldstes harme Bring fram den hellige Galte Spill ei det beste blod Sterke sønner fødes ei i overflod "Kloke volve når skal jeg få se, Grøderike enger "Når skal jeg igjen få føle, Frøyas myke hender" ---------------------------------------------------- English translation: Sacrifice to the Elves Bring forth your sacrifice The winter can last for long Show them honour Servants of Frey Let the blood flow On his pride Until they are pleased To provide our magnificense and growth Our king will show his wrath If we do not honour our promise Poor the harvest will be Without seeds in earth Don’t spill the finest blood Strong sons will not be born too often "Oh, wise Volve when shall I get to see, fields of growth When shall I once again feel the light touch from Freyas hands" Death comes fast If you do not honour The people below The friends of the Vanirs Bring forth The holy boar Then the sun will still shine And we can still breath We didn’t wish to die We didn’t wish to awake The wrath of the elders Bring forth the holy boar |

I gammel tid hersket det en krig Mellom de hellige slekter, baner og æser Da freden kom, ble guddommene forent Opp fra et kar med spytt steg Kvasir "Vis blir den som drikker av mjøden, Kvasirs blod, men ei den som drikker Av den spillte mjød som dryppet fra Falkens ham" Kvasir, hvis skalders far han var, Ble tatt av dage av dvergehender Av Kvasirs blod lagde de skaldemjøden deh hellige drikk Fjalar og Galar myrdet en gang Gilling jotun, Suttungs far I Sinne krevde Suttung mannebot Kvasirs blod ble Suttungs mjød Ut fra Valhall flasket Grimne Kledd opp i falkens drakt Til Jotunheimen og Nitberg Bauge bie narret og Gunnlod sveket Ut fra Nitberg falken fløy Omsider skulle Kvasir hjem, Men da mjøden forsvant ble Suttung vred Ut han styrtet i ørneham Akk, måtte Grimne slippe dyrebar last Slik ble de falske skalder skapt Falken fløy hjem til sin borg Og suttung inn i Tjalves flammer --------------------------------------------- English translation: The Blood of Kvasir A war ruled in ancient times Between the holy races, the Vanirs and the Aces When peace came, the deities united From a bowl filled with spit rose Kvasir "Wise he becomes, he drinks the holy mead the blood of Kvasir, but not he who drinks from the spilled mead that dripped from the falcon" Kvasir the father of poets by dwarf hands he died From the blood of Kvasir they made the mead of poets, the holy drink Fjalar and Galar once murdered Gilling the Giant, the father of Suttung Enraged, Suttung demanded justice to be fullfilled The blood of Kvasir became the mead of Suttung Grimne flew out from Valhalla In the shape of the falcon To the home of Giants and to Nitberg Bauge was decived, and Gunnlod betrayed Out from Nitberg the falcon flew Finally Kvasir should return to Aasgard But when the mead disappeared Suttung became furious Out, in the shape of the eagle he followed Sadly, Grimne had to spill from his valuable treasure Which led to the making of the false poets The falcon flew home to his domains And Suttung flew into the flames of Tjalve |

I gammel tid hersket det en krig Mellom de hellige slekter, baner og æser Da freden kom, ble guddommene forent Opp fra et kar med spytt steg Kvasir "Vis blir den som drikker av mjøden, Kvasirs blod, men ei den som drikker Av den spillte mjød som dryppet fra Falkens ham" Kvasir, hvis skalders far han var, Ble tatt av dage av dvergehender Av Kvasirs blod lagde de skaldemjøden deh hellige drikk Fjalar og Galar myrdet en gang Gilling jotun, Suttungs far I Sinne krevde Suttung mannebot Kvasirs blod ble Suttungs mjød Ut fra Valhall flasket Grimne Kledd opp i falkens drakt Til Jotunheimen og Nitberg Bauge bie narret og Gunnlod sveket Ut fra Nitberg falken fløy Omsider skulle Kvasir hjem, Men da mjøden forsvant ble Suttung vred Ut han styrtet i ørneham Akk, måtte Grimne slippe dyrebar last Slik ble de falske skalder skapt Falken fløy hjem til sin borg Og suttung inn i Tjalves flammer --------------------------------------------- English translation: The Blood of Kvasir A war ruled in ancient times Between the holy races, the Vanirs and the Aces When peace came, the deities united From a bowl filled with spit rose Kvasir "Wise he becomes, he drinks the holy mead the blood of Kvasir, but not he who drinks from the spilled mead that dripped from the falcon" Kvasir the father of poets by dwarf hands he died From the blood of Kvasir they made the mead of poets, the holy drink Fjalar and Galar once murdered Gilling the Giant, the father of Suttung Enraged, Suttung demanded justice to be fullfilled The blood of Kvasir became the mead of Suttung Grimne flew out from Valhalla In the shape of the falcon To the home of Giants and to Nitberg Bauge was decived, and Gunnlod betrayed Out from Nitberg the falcon flew Finally Kvasir should return to Aasgard But when the mead disappeared Suttung became furious Out, in the shape of the eagle he followed Sadly, Grimne had to spill from his valuable treasure Which led to the making of the false poets The falcon flew home to his domains And Suttung flew into the flames of Tjalve |

Lovsanger ble sunget Den gang folket fremdeles var stolt, I de svundne tider, For lenge siden Så kom pesten Pesten fra sør Svik og vranære Forpestet våre sinn Den sterkes lov ble glemt Men forsvant ei Under et lag av tusen års svik Ulmer den norrøne tanke Kjemp! La ei din kraft forgå Vår morgen skal også bli vår kveld De brente våre hov De drepte våre menn Vi skal ta tilbake Det som engang var vårt Kjemp! Fornekt et ditt sinn Vår morgen skal også bli vår kveld Vi skal igjen synge Lovsanger fra fordums tid Slik vi gjorde i de dager For pesten kom FOR LENGE SIDEN ------------------------------------ English translation: A Long Time Ago Hymns were sung In the times when our people still were proud In the long gone past A long time ago Then came the disease The disease from south Deception and false knowledge Infected our minds Survival of the fittest was forgotten But still it didn’t disappear Beneath the layers of a thousand years of deception Burns the ancient northern thoughts Fight! Don’t let your powers disappear Our sunset shall also be our dawn They burned our temples They killed our men We shall take back What once were ours Fight! Deny not your mind Our sunset shall also be our dawn We shall once again sing Hymns from ancient times Like we did in those days A long time ago |

Hvor stillheten er øredøvende her inne Hvor rossene aldri visner, da de aldri blomstret Her fant solen aldri frem Selv mørket snur i døren Intet håp, ingen frykt Et hav av tårer som aldri rant Morgendangen bringer bud om åpnede sår Lyset invaderte det endeløse mørket Den klareste farge blir dim om natten Gaten er tom og leder ingensteds Et strik som skar, men ingen hørte Hvem bryr seg? Vi kan alle bli fri "I morgen er en ny dag, Men det var også i dag... ...Blott den ene frykten kjennes Frykten for lyvet" Sovnet inn, i ei blodrødt pledd To døde øyne stirrer tomt Fra en sjel som ble nekter født Døden hilset den som lyvet glemte ---------------------------------------- English translation: Forgotten The silence inside this place is screaming Here, were the roses never wither, as they never bloomed Here the sun never shone Even the darkness never came in No hope, no fear An ocean of tears, that never fell Tomorrow brings remembrance of opened wounds The light invaded the endless darkness A soul, which birth was denied A soul that became forgotten The darkness fades away even the brightest colour The street is empty, and leads to nowhere A shrilling scream, that no one heard Who cares? We can all be free "Tomorrow is a new day But today was new as well... ...For only thing is fear fealt The fear of life" Fallen asleep, wrapped in a blood red blanket Two dead eyes are staring into emptiness From a soul, which birth was denied Death greets the one life forgot |

Åretak hørtes, vakre langskip fosset frem Som en vind fra nord, kom våre fedre i land Horder, Ryger og Egder, samlet til felles strid Staute menn uten frykt Sverdslag knuste kristmanns skalle Lenge herkset vi, Nordens konger Mange slag vi vant ved Midgards strender Men, sveket av våre enge, ble vi tvunget ned i kne Når vinden nå igjen jager, vender tankene omsider hjem Vi skal reise oss i vår prakt Sannelig skal kvitehorden skjelve "Vi falt som menn Derfor døde vi ei hen Veik er den som fiender elsker Svik ei ditt opphav" ------------------------------------------------------- English translation: 793 (The Battle of Lindisfarne) Strokes from oars could be heard, beautiful ships gushed through the sea Like a wind from the north, our ancestors reached the shore Men from Hordaland, Rogaland and Adger gathered for battle in common Proud men with no fear Strokes from the sword crushed the skull of the christian A long time we ruled, kings of the north Many battles we won, at the shores of Midgard But, betrayed by our own brothers we were forced down on our knees Now when the wind once again is howling the thoughts finally goes towards home We shall rise in our glory The white horde will for sure shiver "We died like men Therefore we never vanished Weak is the one the enemy loves Never betray your origin" |

Bølgene skærer som en tidens kniv På de glatte svaberg som ennå står To øyne skuer utover de hav Som i fordums tider bar hans slekt til heder Et stille sinn lengter Etter atter å heise seil En sverdram hungrer Etter nidmanns strupe En bortglemt skatt er nå gjennfunnet Båret ut fra Midgards mørke Den kraft skal aldri mer forsvinne Den voktes av en mann fra Hordaland En sorgtung natt er snart over Et fordums minne lyser opp En vind blåser støv fra et gammelt sverd To ravner varsler hans komme Solen går ned i vest Han løfter sitt stolte ansikt Han skuer mot Nordstjernen Mannen fra Hordaland ----------------------------------------------------- English translation: The Man from Hordaland Waves are cutting like a knife of time On the slippery rocks that still stands besides the shore Two eyes are eyeing the seas Towards the seas that once brought his ancestors glory A lonely mind is longing For the raising of sails A swordarm is longing hungrily To cut the throats of cowards A forgotten treasure is now recovered Brought out from the darkness of Midgard Its powers will never again disappear It is guarded by a man from Hordaland A night of sorrow will soon be over Memories from ancient times will glow A wind blows away the dust from an ancient sword Two ravens will predict his return The sets in the west He lifts his proud face He looks towards the North Star The Man From Hordaland |

Hvor stillheten er øredøvende her inne Hvor rossene aldri visner, da de aldri blomstret Her fant solen aldri frem Selv mørket snur i døren Intet håp, ingen frykt Et hav av tårer som aldri rant Morgendangen bringer bud om åpnede sår Lyset invaderte det endeløse mørket Den klareste farge blir dim om natten Gaten er tom og leder ingensteds Et strik som skar, men ingen hørte Hvem bryr seg? Vi kan alle bli fri "I morgen er en ny dag, Men det var også i dag... ...Blott den ene frykten kjennes Frykten for lyvet" Sovnet inn, i ei blodrødt pledd To døde øyne stirrer tomt Fra en sjel som ble nekter født Døden hilset den som lyvet glemte ---------------------------------------- English translation: Forgotten The silence inside this place is screaming Here, were the roses never wither, as they never bloomed Here the sun never shone Even the darkness never came in No hope, no fear An ocean of tears, that never fell Tomorrow brings remembrance of opened wounds The light invaded the endless darkness A soul, which birth was denied A soul that became forgotten The darkness fades away even the brightest colour The street is empty, and leads to nowhere A shrilling scream, that no one heard Who cares? We can all be free "Tomorrow is a new day But today was new as well... ...For only thing is fear fealt The fear of life" Fallen asleep, wrapped in a blood red blanket Two dead eyes are staring into emptiness From a soul, which birth was denied Death greets the one life forgot |

We can all be free "Tomorrow is a new day But today was new as well... ...For only thing is fear fealt The fear of life" Fallen asleep, wrapped in a blood red blanket Two dead eyes are staring into emptiness From a soul, which birth was denied Death greets the one life forgot |

Åretak hørtes, vakre langskip fosset frem Som en vind fra nord, kom våre fedre i land Horder, Ryger og Egder, samlet til felles strid Staute menn uten frykt Sverdslag knuste kristmanns skalle Lenge herkset vi, Nordens konger Mange slag vi vant ved Midgards strender Men, sveket av våre enge, ble vi tvunget ned i kne Når vinden nå igjen jager, vender tankene omsider hjem Vi skal reise oss i vår prakt Sannelig skal kvitehorden skjelve "Vi falt som menn Derfor døde vi ei hen Veik er den som fiender elsker Svik ei ditt opphav" ------------------------------------------------------- English translation: 793 (The Battle of Lindisfarne) Strokes from oars could be heard, beautiful ships gushed through the sea Like a wind from the north, our ancestors reached the shore Men from Hordaland, Rogaland and Adger gathered for battle in common Proud men with no fear Strokes from the sword crushed the skull of the christian A long time we ruled, kings of the north Many battles we won, at the shores of Midgard But, betrayed by our own brothers we were forced down on our knees Now when the wind once again is howling the thoughts finally goes towards home We shall rise in our glory The white horde will for sure shiver "We died like men Therefore we never vanished Weak is the one the enemy loves Never betray your origin" |

Bølgene skærer som en tidens kniv På de glatte svaberg som ennå står To øyne skuer utover de hav Som i fordums tider bar hans slekt til heder Et stille sinn lengter Etter atter å heise seil En sverdram hungrer Etter nidmanns strupe En bortglemt skatt er nå gjennfunnet Båret ut fra Midgards mørke Den kraft skal aldri mer forsvinne Den voktes av en mann fra Hordaland En sorgtung natt er snart over Et fordums minne lyser opp En vind blåser støv fra et gammelt sverd To ravner varsler hans komme Solen går ned i vest Han løfter sitt stolte ansikt Han skuer mot Nordstjernen Mannen fra Hordaland ----------------------------------------------------- English translation: The Man from Hordaland Waves are cutting like a knife of time On the slippery rocks that still stands besides the shore Two eyes are eyeing the seas Towards the seas that once brought his ancestors glory A lonely mind is longing For the raising of sails A swordarm is longing hungrily To cut the throats of cowards A forgotten treasure is now recovered Brought out from the darkness of Midgard Its powers will never again disappear It is guarded by a man from Hordaland A night of sorrow will soon be over Memories from ancient times will glow A wind blows away the dust from an ancient sword Two ravens will predict his return The sets in the west He lifts his proud face He looks towards the North Star The Man From Hordaland |

I gammel tid hersket det en krig Mellom de hellige slekter, baner og æser Da freden kom, ble guddommene forent Opp fra et kar med spytt steg Kvasir "Vis blir den som drikker av mjøden, Kvasirs blod, men ei den som drikker Av den spillte mjød som dryppet fra Falkens ham" Kvasir, hvis skalders far han var, Ble tatt av dage av dvergehender Av Kvasirs blod lagde de skaldemjøden deh hellige drikk Fjalar og Galar myrdet en gang Gilling jotun, Suttungs far I Sinne krevde Suttung mannebot Kvasirs blod ble Suttungs mjød Ut fra Valhall flasket Grimne Kledd opp i falkens drakt Til Jotunheimen og Nitberg Bauge bie narret og Gunnlod sveket Ut fra Nitberg falken fløy Omsider skulle Kvasir hjem, Men da mjøden forsvant ble Suttung vred Ut han styrtet i ørneham Akk, måtte Grimne slippe dyrebar last Slik ble de falske skalder skapt Falken fløy hjem til sin borg Og suttung inn i Tjalves flammer --------------------------------------------- English translation: The Blood of Kvasir A war ruled in ancient times Between the holy races, the Vanirs and the Aces When peace came, the deities united From a bowl filled with spit rose Kvasir "Wise he becomes, he drinks the holy mead the blood of Kvasir, but not he who drinks from the spilled mead that dripped from the falcon" Kvasir the father of poets by dwarf hands he died From the blood of Kvasir they made the mead of poets, the holy drink Fjalar and Galar once murdered Gilling the Giant, the father of Suttung Enraged, Suttung demanded justice to be fullfilled The blood of Kvasir became the mead of Suttung Grimne flew out from Valhalla In the shape of the falcon To the home of Giants and to Nitberg Bauge was decived, and Gunnlod betrayed Out from Nitberg the falcon flew Finally Kvasir should return to Aasgard But when the mead disappeared Suttung became furious Out, in the shape of the eagle he followed Sadly, Grimne had to spill from his valuable treasure Which led to the making of the false poets The falcon flew home to his domains And Suttung flew into the flames of Tjalve |

Lovsanger ble sunget Den gang folket fremdeles var stolt, I de svundne tider, For lenge siden Så kom pesten Pesten fra sør Svik og vranære Forpestet våre sinn Den sterkes lov ble glemt Men forsvant ei Under et lag av tusen års svik Ulmer den norrøne tanke Kjemp! La ei din kraft forgå Vår morgen skal også bli vår kveld De brente våre hov De drepte våre menn Vi skal ta tilbake Det som engang var vårt Kjemp! Fornekt et ditt sinn Vår morgen skal også bli vår kveld Vi skal igjen synge Lovsanger fra fordums tid Slik vi gjorde i de dager For pesten kom FOR LENGE SIDEN ------------------------------------ English translation: A Long Time Ago Hymns were sung In the times when our people still were proud In the long gone past A long time ago Then came the disease The disease from south Deception and false knowledge Infected our minds Survival of the fittest was forgotten But still it didn’t disappear Beneath the layers of a thousand years of deception Burns the ancient northern thoughts Fight! Don’t let your powers disappear Our sunset shall also be our dawn They burned our temples They killed our men We shall take back What once were ours Fight! Deny not your mind Our sunset shall also be our dawn We shall once again sing Hymns from ancient times Like we did in those days A long time ago |

Eiteren drypp, jorda skakar Eg vrir meg i smerte, lenka til berget Eg er din angst, eg er din pine. Tema meg du freista, du fanga meg i garn. Eg let meg ikkje rokka, eg er kaos Eg er din skam. Eg er din øvste visdoms bror, Og din fiende til din døyande dag. Bunden eg er, men eg ler av deg. Tru ikkje eg er til for å tena deg. Eg er av ei verd du aldri (i ditt liv) kan skjøna, for eg er vondskap, eg er urkraft. Ein dag skal me møtast på Vigridsletta. Ein dag er eg fri for lenker og eiter. Den dagen vil du skjøna kvifor eg blei til, kvifor latteren gjallar i natta. Den dagen skal me kjempa vår siste kamp, Og ta kvarandre av dage. "...Sola svartnar, jord sig i hav på himmelen bleiknar bjarte stjerner Røyken velatr fra veldige bål Høgt leikar flammen mot himmelen sjøl..." [English translation: IN CHAINS UNTIL RAGNAROK] The ether is dripping, the earth is quaking I am writhing with agony, chained to the mountain I am your fear, I am your torment You attemped to tame me, you caught me in nets I will not be budged, I am chaos, I am your shame I am your highest wisdom, and your enemy ’til your dying day Bound I am, but I am laughting at you Do not believe that I am here to serve you I am from a world you can not comprehend ’Cause I am Evil I am the Primal Force One day we shall meet at the fields of Vigrid One we I shall be free of chains and ether That day you will understand The purpose of my excistance Why the laughter is roaring in the night That day we will fight our last battle End end eachothers days "The sun turns black, ground slides into the sun Brave stars are fading in the sky Smoke rises from great fires The flame plays up high Against heaven itself" |

6. | Eit auga til Mimir | 04:24 | Show lyrics |
Utgards mørke, langt der ute Eg kjem ikkje inn, eit offer du krev? Eit offfer eg krev, ingen lovnad eg gjev Eg kan gje deg styrke, eg kan gje deg dauden Du seier du kan ta meg av dage. Men utan meg er heller ikkje du Skapar av svakhet, meg kan du ikkje truga. Lær deg å sjå med det retta auga. Du dunkle, du freistar å få meg i kne, du taler i gåter, og får meg vred. Med vrede, du veike, du ingenting får. Din visdom eg krev for at du skal forstå Du vil eg skal lida, og endå til dõy. Du gløymer mi makt, at du er min trëll. Ditt opphav du gløymer. Du prisar bedrag Di verd er ei faginning, ingen heilhet, ingen svar Orden eg skaper, men du motstrebar meg Du talar med klõrt, kva er det du krev. Eg krev eit offer, eg krev at du blør. Du våga å trosse dei eldste, som bar deg fram "Utgards mørke langt der ute, eit offer vart krevd, eit offer dei fekk. Eit sinn vart styrka, men lekam gjekk tapt, Klok vert den som veit å våga" "Han ofra sitt auge, for at fjan skulle sjå Han blødde for dei som til slutt lot han rå. Men ingen lovnad ei ga ham, det vart ingen fred. Dei skal framleis kjempa, til jorda sig ned" -------------------------------------------------------- English translation: The darkness of Utgard, far out there I can not enter, are you demanding sacrifice ? I demand a sacrifice, no promise I will give I can provide you with strength , I can give you death You say you can end my days But without my existence , would you not be Creator of weakness, me you can not threaten Learn how to see with the right eye Obscure One, you attempt to get me on my knees You speak through riddles, and call forth my wrath With wrath, weakling, nothing is achieved I demand your wisdom, to make you understand You want me to suffer, and even to die You are forgetting my power, you are but my slave Your source of origin you’re forgetting, your praising deceit Your world is an illusion; no wholeness, no answer Order I create, but your opposing me Your speaking with a cunning tongue, what are your demands I am demanding a sacrifice, I demand to see you bleed You have dared to oppose the Ancient Ones that brought you into existence The darkness of Utgard, a sacrifice was demanded, a sacrifice they received A mind was strengthened, but the flesh was lost He who dares becomes wise "He gave his eye to see He bled for those who let him rule at last But no promises they gave him, no peace became They shall still be fighting ’til the earth sinks" |

You forgot your father’s wise words of betrayal, destiny and death You forgot your duty as a man of strife, and killed your brother sleeping You thought time would heal the wounds, that my people would forgive and pray You forgot about me and my holy duty I will kill you with anger Vengeance in blood I swear Vengeance in blood I have always sworn |

Einsam ho gret, den vakraste av alle Fanga og låst i ei sorg ingen skjøner Gleden forsvann langt, langt der ute. Ei brennande lyst, en ingen håp. Ho lengtar heim, men finn ingen veg. Ein sorgfull lagnad gøymt bak eit smil. Mardol du fagre for fred du blei ofra Du solgte din lekam, men fann ingen trøyst. Det som glimrar gjer ikkje fred for deg Gern du ga deg hen, og slokka mangt eit begjær. Men, framleis drypp det om natta gull frå dine auge. Frøya, od skal du finna når alt er forbi då skal du bli sluppen fri. Inntil den dag finn du inga trøyst. Sjøl ikkje i glitrande Brisinghamen. ------------------------------------------------- English translation: In solitude she cries, the most beautiful of them all Captured and locked in a sorrow no one can conceive Joy vanished far out there Burning desire, but no hope She longs for home, bu tcan not find a way A dismal destiny hidden behind a smile Mardol, you glorious, sacrificed for peace you were You sold your flesh, but found no comfort That which glitters does not bring you peace Gern you devoted yourself and consumed many desire. But, still in the night, gold is dripping from your eyes. Fråya, Od you shall find when everything ends Then you shall be set free Untill that day you shall find no comfort Not even in the shining Brisinghamen |

Eg er din øvste visdoms bror, Og din fiende til din døyande dag. Bunden eg er, men eg ler av deg. Tru ikkje eg er til for å tena deg. Eg er av ei verd du aldri (i ditt liv) kan skjøna, for eg er vondskap, eg er urkraft. Ein dag skal me møtast på Vigridsletta. Ein dag er eg fri for lenker og eiter. Den dagen vil du skjøna kvifor eg blei til, kvifor latteren gjallar i natta. Den dagen skal me kjempa vår siste kamp, Og ta kvarandre av dage. "...Sola svartnar, jord sig i hav på himmelen bleiknar bjarte stjerner Røyken velatr fra veldige bål Høgt leikar flammen mot himmelen sjøl..."

Utgards mørke, langt der ute Eg kjem ikkje inn, eit offer du krev? Eit offfer eg krev, ingen lovnad eg gjev Eg kan gje deg styrke, eg kan gje deg dauden Du seier du kan ta meg av dage. Men utan meg er heller ikkje du Skapar av svakhet, meg kan du ikkje truga. Lær deg å sjå med det retta auga. Du dunkle, du freistar å få meg i kne, du taler i gåter, og får meg vred. Med vrede, du veike, du ingenting får. Din visdom eg krev for at du skal forstå Du vil eg skal lida, og endå til dõy. Du gløymer mi makt, at du er min trëll. Ditt opphav du gløymer. Du prisar bedrag Di verd er ei faginning, ingen heilhet, ingen svar Orden eg skaper, men du motstrebar meg Du talar med klõrt, kva er det du krev. Eg krev eit offer, eg krev at du blør. Du våga å trosse dei eldste, som bar deg fram "Utgards mørke langt der ute, eit offer vart krevd, eit offer dei fekk. Eit sinn vart styrka, men lekam gjekk tapt, Klok vert den som veit å våga" "Han ofra sitt auge, for at fjan skulle sjå Han blødde for dei som til slutt lot han rå. Men ingen lovnad ei ga ham, det vart ingen fred. Dei skal framleis kjempa, til jorda sig ned" -------------------------------------------------------- English translation: The darkness of Utgard, far out there I can not enter, are you demanding sacrifice ? I demand a sacrifice, no promise I will give I can provide you with strength , I can give you death You say you can end my days But without my existence , would you not be Creator of weakness, me you can not threaten Learn how to see with the right eye Obscure One, you attempt to get me on my knees You speak through riddles, and call forth my wrath With wrath, weakling, nothing is achieved I demand your wisdom, to make you understand You want me to suffer, and even to die You are forgetting my power, you are but my slave Your source of origin you’re forgetting, your praising deceit Your world is an illusion; no wholeness, no answer Order I create, but your opposing me Your speaking with a cunning tongue, what are your demands I am demanding a sacrifice, I demand to see you bleed You have dared to oppose the Ancient Ones that brought you into existence The darkness of Utgard, a sacrifice was demanded, a sacrifice they received A mind was strengthened, but the flesh was lost He who dares becomes wise "He gave his eye to see He bled for those who let him rule at last But no promises they gave him, no peace became They shall still be fighting ’til the earth sinks" |

Einsam ho gret, den vakraste av alle Fanga og låst i ei sorg ingen skjøner Gleden forsvann langt, langt der ute. Ei brennande lyst, en ingen håp. Ho lengtar heim, men finn ingen veg. Ein sorgfull lagnad gøymt bak eit smil. Mardol du fagre for fred du blei ofra Du solgte din lekam, men fann ingen trøyst. Det som glimrar gjer ikkje fred for deg Gern du ga deg hen, og slokka mangt eit begjær. Men, framleis drypp det om natta gull frå dine auge. Frøya, od skal du finna når alt er forbi då skal du bli sluppen fri. Inntil den dag finn du inga trøyst. Sjøl ikkje i glitrande Brisinghamen. ------------------------------------------------- English translation: In solitude she cries, the most beautiful of them all Captured and locked in a sorrow no one can conceive Joy vanished far out there Burning desire, but no hope She longs for home, bu tcan not find a way A dismal destiny hidden behind a smile Mardol, you glorious, sacrificed for peace you were You sold your flesh, but found no comfort That which glitters does not bring you peace Gern you devoted yourself and consumed many desire. But, still in the night, gold is dripping from your eyes. Fråya, Od you shall find when everything ends Then you shall be set free Untill that day you shall find no comfort Not even in the shining Brisinghamen |

Utgards mørke, langt der ute Eg kjem ikkje inn, eit offer du krev? Eit offfer eg krev, ingen lovnad eg gjev Eg kan gje deg styrke, eg kan gje deg dauden Du seier du kan ta meg av dage. Men utan meg er heller ikkje du Skapar av svakhet, meg kan du ikkje truga. Lær deg å sjå med det retta auga. Du dunkle, du freistar å få meg i kne, du taler i gåter, og får meg vred. Med vrede, du veike, du ingenting får. Din visdom eg krev for at du skal forstå Du vil eg skal lida, og endå til dõy. Du gløymer mi makt, at du er min trëll. Ditt opphav du gløymer. Du prisar bedrag Di verd er ei faginning, ingen heilhet, ingen svar Orden eg skaper, men du motstrebar meg Du talar med klõrt, kva er det du krev. Eg krev eit offer, eg krev at du blør. Du våga å trosse dei eldste, som bar deg fram "Utgards mørke langt der ute, eit offer vart krevd, eit offer dei fekk. Eit sinn vart styrka, men lekam gjekk tapt, Klok vert den som veit å våga" "Han ofra sitt auge, for at fjan skulle sjå Han blødde for dei som til slutt lot han rå. Men ingen lovnad ei ga ham, det vart ingen fred. Dei skal framleis kjempa, til jorda sig ned" -------------------------------------------------------- English translation: The darkness of Utgard, far out there I can not enter, are you demanding sacrifice ? I demand a sacrifice, no promise I will give I can provide you with strength , I can give you death You say you can end my days But without my existence , would you not be Creator of weakness, me you can not threaten Learn how to see with the right eye Obscure One, you attempt to get me on my knees You speak through riddles, and call forth my wrath With wrath, weakling, nothing is achieved I demand your wisdom, to make you understand You want me to suffer, and even to die You are forgetting my power, you are but my slave Your source of origin you’re forgetting, your praising deceit Your world is an illusion; no wholeness, no answer Order I create, but your opposing me Your speaking with a cunning tongue, what are your demands I am demanding a sacrifice, I demand to see you bleed You have dared to oppose the Ancient Ones that brought you into existence The darkness of Utgard, a sacrifice was demanded, a sacrifice they received A mind was strengthened, but the flesh was lost He who dares becomes wise "He gave his eye to see He bled for those who let him rule at last But no promises they gave him, no peace became They shall still be fighting ’til the earth sinks" |

Einsam ho gret, den vakraste av alle Fanga og låst i ei sorg ingen skjøner Gleden forsvann langt, langt der ute. Ei brennande lyst, en ingen håp. Ho lengtar heim, men finn ingen veg. Ein sorgfull lagnad gøymt bak eit smil. Mardol du fagre for fred du blei ofra Du solgte din lekam, men fann ingen trøyst. Det som glimrar gjer ikkje fred for deg Gern du ga deg hen, og slokka mangt eit begjær. Men, framleis drypp det om natta gull frå dine auge. Frøya, od skal du finna når alt er forbi då skal du bli sluppen fri. Inntil den dag finn du inga trøyst. Sjøl ikkje i glitrande Brisinghamen. ------------------------------------------------- English translation: In solitude she cries, the most beautiful of them all Captured and locked in a sorrow no one can conceive Joy vanished far out there Burning desire, but no hope She longs for home, bu tcan not find a way A dismal destiny hidden behind a smile Mardol, you glorious, sacrificed for peace you were You sold your flesh, but found no comfort That which glitters does not bring you peace Gern you devoted yourself and consumed many desire. But, still in the night, gold is dripping from your eyes. Fråya, Od you shall find when everything ends Then you shall be set free Untill that day you shall find no comfort Not even in the shining Brisinghamen |

Du gløymde di plikt som ein kjempande mann og drap din bror i sveven. Du trudde tid lækjar sår at mitt folk skulle tilgje og be. Du gløymde meg og mi heilage plikt, eg skal drepa deg i vrede. Blodhemn eg svergar, Blodhemn har eg alltid sverga. ---------------------------------------------- English translation: You killed my son, I am swearing revenge You destroyed my path, and truce with my people You blackened my name, they believed you You saw my destiny as mockery You was me dying with my fatal wound You thought I would never rise You thought the light was your friend, That you sprung from it You thought everyone would obey your words And forget the gifts of Valfather. You forgot your father’s wise words of betrayal, destiny and death You forgot your duty as a man of strife, and killed your brother sleeping You thought time would heal the wounds, that my people would forgive and pray You forgot about me and my holy duty I will kill you with anger Vengeance in blood I swear Vengeance in blood I have always sworn |

8. | Brisinghamen | 03:30 | Show lyrics |
Einsam ho gret, den vakraste av alle Fanga og låst i ei sorg ingen skjøner Gleden forsvann langt, langt der ute. Ei brennande lyst, en ingen håp. Ho lengtar heim, men finn ingen veg. Ein sorgfull lagnad gøymt bak eit smil. Mardol du fagre for fred du blei ofra Du solgte din lekam, men fann ingen trøyst. Det som glimrar gjer ikkje fred for deg Gern du ga deg hen, og slokka mangt eit begjær. Men, framleis drypp det om natta gull frå dine auge. Frøya, od skal du finna når alt er forbi då skal du bli sluppen fri. Inntil den dag finn du inga trøyst. Sjøl ikkje i glitrande Brisinghamen. ------------------------------------------------- English translation: In solitude she cries, the most beautiful of them all Captured and locked in a sorrow no one can conceive Joy vanished far out there Burning desire, but no hope She longs for home, bu tcan not find a way A dismal destiny hidden behind a smile Mardol, you glorious, sacrificed for peace you were You sold your flesh, but found no comfort That which glitters does not bring you peace Gern you devoted yourself and consumed many desire. But, still in the night, gold is dripping from your eyes. Fråya, Od you shall find when everything ends Then you shall be set free Untill that day you shall find no comfort Not even in the shining Brisinghamen |

Eiteren drypp, jorda skakar Eg vrir meg i smerte, lenka til berget Eg er din angst, eg er din pine. Tema meg du freista, du fanga meg i garn. Eg let meg ikkje rokka, eg er kaos Eg er din skam. Eg er din øvste visdoms bror, Og din fiende til din døyande dag. Bunden eg er, men eg ler av deg. Tru ikkje eg er til for å tena deg. Eg er av ei verd du aldri (i ditt liv) kan skjøna, for eg er vondskap, eg er urkraft. Ein dag skal me møtast på Vigridsletta. Ein dag er eg fri for lenker og eiter. Den dagen vil du skjøna kvifor eg blei til, kvifor latteren gjallar i natta. Den dagen skal me kjempa vår siste kamp, Og ta kvarandre av dage.

Utgards mørke, langt der ute Eg kjem ikkje inn, eit offer du krev? Eit offfer eg krev, ingen lovnad eg gjev Eg kan gje deg styrke, eg kan gje deg dauden Du seier du kan ta meg av dage. Men utan meg er heller ikkje du Skapar av svakhet, meg kan du ikkje truga. Lær deg å sjå med det retta auga. Du dunkle, du freistar å få meg i kne, du taler i gåter, og får meg vred. Med vrede, du veike, du ingenting får. Din visdom eg krev for at du skal forstå Du vil eg skal lida, og endå til dõy. Du gløymer mi makt, at du er min trëll. Ditt opphav du gløymer. Du prisar bedrag Di verd er ei faginning, ingen heilhet, ingen svar Orden eg skaper, men du motstrebar meg Du talar med klõrt, kva er det du krev. Eg krev eit offer, eg krev at du blør. Du våga å trosse dei eldste, som bar deg fram "Utgards mørke langt der ute, eit offer vart krevd, eit offer dei fekk. Eit sinn vart styrka, men lekam gjekk tapt, Klok vert den som veit å våga" "Han ofra sitt auge, for at fjan skulle sjå Han blødde for dei som til slutt lot han rå. Men ingen lovnad ei ga ham, det vart ingen fred. Dei skal framleis kjempa, til jorda sig ned" -------------------------------------------------------- English translation: The darkness of Utgard, far out there I can not enter, are you demanding sacrifice ? I demand a sacrifice, no promise I will give I can provide you with strength , I can give you death You say you can end my days But without my existence , would you not be Creator of weakness, me you can not threaten Learn how to see with the right eye Obscure One, you attempt to get me on my knees You speak through riddles, and call forth my wrath With wrath, weakling, nothing is achieved I demand your wisdom, to make you understand You want me to suffer, and even to die You are forgetting my power, you are but my slave Your source of origin you’re forgetting, your praising deceit Your world is an illusion; no wholeness, no answer Order I create, but your opposing me Your speaking with a cunning tongue, what are your demands I am demanding a sacrifice, I demand to see you bleed You have dared to oppose the Ancient Ones that brought you into existence The darkness of Utgard, a sacrifice was demanded, a sacrifice they received A mind was strengthened, but the flesh was lost He who dares becomes wise "He gave his eye to see He bled for those who let him rule at last But no promises they gave him, no peace became They shall still be fighting ’til the earth sinks" |

Eiteren drypp, jorda skakar Eg vrir meg i smerte, lenka til berget Eg er din angst, eg er din pine. Tema meg du freista, du fanga meg i garn. Eg let meg ikkje rokka, eg er kaos Eg er din skam. Eg er din øvste visdoms bror, Og din fiende til din døyande dag. Bunden eg er, men eg ler av deg. Tru ikkje eg er til for å tena deg. Eg er av ei verd du aldri (i ditt liv) kan skjøna, for eg er vondskap, eg er urkraft. Ein dag skal me møtast på Vigridsletta. Ein dag er eg fri for lenker og eiter. Den dagen vil du skjøna kvifor eg blei til, kvifor latteren gjallar i natta. Den dagen skal me kjempa vår siste kamp, Og ta kvarandre av dage. "...Sola svartnar, jord sig i hav på himmelen bleiknar bjarte stjerner Røyken velatr fra veldige bål Høgt leikar flammen mot himmelen sjøl..." [English translation: IN CHAINS UNTIL RAGNAROK] The ether is dripping, the earth is quaking I am writhing with agony, chained to the mountain I am your fear, I am your torment You attemped to tame me, you caught me in nets I will not be budged, I am chaos, I am your shame I am your highest wisdom, and your enemy ’til your dying day Bound I am, but I am laughting at you Do not believe that I am here to serve you I am from a world you can not comprehend ’Cause I am Evil I am the Primal Force One day we shall meet at the fields of Vigrid One we I shall be free of chains and ether That day you will understand The purpose of my excistance Why the laughter is roaring in the night That day we will fight our last battle End end eachothers days "The sun turns black, ground slides into the sun Brave stars are fading in the sky Smoke rises from great fires The flame plays up high Against heaven itself" |

We wandered far and freely The light came, and the sight faded The houses are abandoned, and the sky is red The ship is leaving for the sea |

Horna gjallar, vinden bles Trommer dundrar, vinden bles Med spjut og boge meter til strid Me går i bresjen brødre gjennom blod. Med von om ëre i galskapens namn Me vert aldri slegn sjøl om me fell Me reiser ei til Folkvang til, vanedronnings famn, våre fedre skal me møta om me fell i dag. Me flytar ei frå var lagnad sjølv om vinden ikkje bles vår vei. Til valfaders hall brødre. Med heva spjut i Odins namn. Me skal heva krus i Odins namn Nidingar skal falla for våre føtter. Dei treng ikkje be om sollyse dagar. Ingen hugsar ein trëll uten herre Slegne vert dei når dei fell. Me hevar våpen for vår tru Me slaktar marken for vår tru Ingen nåde me viser for dei som snudde ryggen til. Døy skal dei som freista å mura brunnen inn. Dei som for med løgn og svik Gje oss styrke, gje oss mot Me skal sigra, brødre gjennom blod. ------------------------------------------------------ English translation: Horns are resounding, the winds are howling Drums are pounding, the winds are howling With spear and bow we go into battle We are making a stand, brothers in blood With hope for honour in the name of madness We will never be defeated, even if we fall We are not going to Folkvang, Into the arms of the Vanir Queen, We shall our fathers if we fall today We will not flee from our destiny, even though the winds aren’t blowing our way Brothers, to Valfaders hall With spear raised in the name of Oden We shall raise mugs in the name of Oden Cowards shall fall at our feet They do not have to pray for sun filled days No one remembers a slave without a master Defeated they are when they fall We raise weapons for our faith We slaughter the fields for our faith We have no mercy for those Who turned their backs Those who attemmp to close the well Shall die Those who lied and betrayed shall die Give us strenght , give us courage We will prevail Brothers in blood |

6. | Eit auga til Mimir | 04:24 | Show lyrics |
Utgards mørke, langt der ute Eg kjem ikkje inn, eit offer du krev? Eit offfer eg krev, ingen lovnad eg gjev Eg kan gje deg styrke, eg kan gje deg dauden Du seier du kan ta meg av dage. Men utan meg er heller ikkje du Skapar av svakhet, meg kan du ikkje truga. Lær deg å sjå med det retta auga. Du dunkle, du freistar å få meg i kne, du taler i gåter, og får meg vred. Med vrede, du veike, du ingenting får. Din visdom eg krev for at du skal forstå Du vil eg skal lida, og endå til dõy. Du gløymer mi makt, at du er min trëll. Ditt opphav du gløymer. Du prisar bedrag Di verd er ei faginning, ingen heilhet, ingen svar Orden eg skaper, men du motstrebar meg Du talar med klõrt, kva er det du krev. Eg krev eit offer, eg krev at du blør. Du våga å trosse dei eldste, som bar deg fram "Utgards mørke langt der ute, eit offer vart krevd, eit offer dei fekk. Eit sinn vart styrka, men lekam gjekk tapt, Klok vert den som veit å våga" "Han ofra sitt auge, for at fjan skulle sjå Han blødde for dei som til slutt lot han rå. Men ingen lovnad ei ga ham, det vart ingen fred. Dei skal framleis kjempa, til jorda sig ned" -------------------------------------------------------- English translation: The darkness of Utgard, far out there I can not enter, are you demanding sacrifice ? I demand a sacrifice, no promise I will give I can provide you with strength , I can give you death You say you can end my days But without my existence , would you not be Creator of weakness, me you can not threaten Learn how to see with the right eye Obscure One, you attempt to get me on my knees You speak through riddles, and call forth my wrath With wrath, weakling, nothing is achieved I demand your wisdom, to make you understand You want me to suffer, and even to die You are forgetting my power, you are but my slave Your source of origin you’re forgetting, your praising deceit Your world is an illusion; no wholeness, no answer Order I create, but your opposing me Your speaking with a cunning tongue, what are your demands I am demanding a sacrifice, I demand to see you bleed You have dared to oppose the Ancient Ones that brought you into existence The darkness of Utgard, a sacrifice was demanded, a sacrifice they received A mind was strengthened, but the flesh was lost He who dares becomes wise "He gave his eye to see He bled for those who let him rule at last But no promises they gave him, no peace became They shall still be fighting ’til the earth sinks" |

Du drap min son, hemn eg svergar Du øydela min veg, og fred med mitt folk Du sverta mitt namn, dei trudde deg Du trudde min lagnad var spott og spe Du trudde eg med mitt banesår døydde Du trudde eg aldri skulle reisa meg Du trudde lyset var din ven, at du av det var komen Du trudde alle ville lystra deg og gløyme valfaders gåver Du gløymde din far sine vise ord om svik, lagnad og død. Du gløymde di plikt som ein kjempande mann og drap din bror i sveven. Du trudde tid lækjar sår at mitt folk skulle tilgje og be. Du gløymde meg og mi heilage plikt, eg skal drepa deg i vrede. Blodhemn eg svergar, Blodhemn har eg alltid sverga. ---------------------------------------------- English translation: You killed my son, I am swearing revenge You destroyed my path, and truce with my people You blackened my name, they believed you You saw my destiny as mockery You was me dying with my fatal wound You thought I would never rise You thought the light was your friend, That you sprung from it You thought everyone would obey your words And forget the gifts of Valfather. You forgot your father’s wise words of betrayal, destiny and death You forgot your duty as a man of strife, and killed your brother sleeping You thought time would heal the wounds, that my people would forgive and pray You forgot about me and my holy duty I will kill you with anger Vengeance in blood I swear Vengeance in blood I have always sworn |

8. | Brisinghamen | 03:30 | Show lyrics |
Einsam ho gret, den vakraste av alle Fanga og låst i ei sorg ingen skjøner Gleden forsvann langt, langt der ute. Ei brennande lyst, en ingen håp. Ho lengtar heim, men finn ingen veg. Ein sorgfull lagnad gøymt bak eit smil. Mardol du fagre for fred du blei ofra Du solgte din lekam, men fann ingen trøyst. Det som glimrar gjer ikkje fred for deg Gern du ga deg hen, og slokka mangt eit begjær. Men, framleis drypp det om natta gull frå dine auge. Frøya, od skal du finna når alt er forbi då skal du bli sluppen fri. Inntil den dag finn du inga trøyst. Sjøl ikkje i glitrande Brisinghamen. ------------------------------------------------- English translation: In solitude she cries, the most beautiful of them all Captured and locked in a sorrow no one can conceive Joy vanished far out there Burning desire, but no hope She longs for home, bu tcan not find a way A dismal destiny hidden behind a smile Mardol, you glorious, sacrificed for peace you were You sold your flesh, but found no comfort That which glitters does not bring you peace Gern you devoted yourself and consumed many desire. But, still in the night, gold is dripping from your eyes. Fråya, Od you shall find when everything ends Then you shall be set free Untill that day you shall find no comfort Not even in the shining Brisinghamen |

6. | Eit auga til Mimir | 04:24 | Show lyrics |
Utgards mørke, langt der ute Eg kjem ikkje inn, eit offer du krev? Eit offfer eg krev, ingen lovnad eg gjev Eg kan gje deg styrke, eg kan gje deg dauden Du seier du kan ta meg av dage. Men utan meg er heller ikkje du Skapar av svakhet, meg kan du ikkje truga. Lær deg å sjå med det retta auga. Du dunkle, du freistar å få meg i kne, du taler i gåter, og får meg vred. Med vrede, du veike, du ingenting får. Din visdom eg krev for at du skal forstå Du vil eg skal lida, og endå til dõy. Du gløymer mi makt, at du er min trëll. Ditt opphav du gløymer. Du prisar bedrag Di verd er ei faginning, ingen heilhet, ingen svar Orden eg skaper, men du motstrebar meg Du talar med klõrt, kva er det du krev. Eg krev eit offer, eg krev at du blør. Du våga å trosse dei eldste, som bar deg fram "Utgards mørke langt der ute, eit offer vart krevd, eit offer dei fekk. Eit sinn vart styrka, men lekam gjekk tapt, Klok vert den som veit å våga" "Han ofra sitt auge, for at fjan skulle sjå Han blødde for dei som til slutt lot han rå. Men ingen lovnad ei ga ham, det vart ingen fred. Dei skal framleis kjempa, til jorda sig ned" -------------------------------------------------------- English translation: The darkness of Utgard, far out there I can not enter, are you demanding sacrifice ? I demand a sacrifice, no promise I will give I can provide you with strength , I can give you death You say you can end my days But without my existence , would you not be Creator of weakness, me you can not threaten Learn how to see with the right eye Obscure One, you attempt to get me on my knees You speak through riddles, and call forth my wrath With wrath, weakling, nothing is achieved I demand your wisdom, to make you understand You want me to suffer, and even to die You are forgetting my power, you are but my slave Your source of origin you’re forgetting, your praising deceit Your world is an illusion; no wholeness, no answer Order I create, but your opposing me Your speaking with a cunning tongue, what are your demands I am demanding a sacrifice, I demand to see you bleed You have dared to oppose the Ancient Ones that brought you into existence The darkness of Utgard, a sacrifice was demanded, a sacrifice they received A mind was strengthened, but the flesh was lost He who dares becomes wise "He gave his eye to see He bled for those who let him rule at last But no promises they gave him, no peace became They shall still be fighting ’til the earth sinks" |

Einsam ho gret, den vakraste av alle Fanga og låst i ei sorg ingen skjøner Gleden forsvann langt, langt der ute. Ei brennande lyst, en ingen håp. Ho lengtar heim, men finn ingen veg. Ein sorgfull lagnad gøymt bak eit smil. Mardol du fagre for fred du blei ofra Du solgte din lekam, men fann ingen trøyst. Det som glimrar gjer ikkje fred for deg Gern du ga deg hen, og slokka mangt eit begjær. Men, framleis drypp det om natta gull frå dine auge. Frøya, od skal du finna når alt er forbi då skal du bli sluppen fri. Inntil den dag finn du inga trøyst. Sjøl ikkje i glitrande Brisinghamen. ------------------------------------------------- English translation: In solitude she cries, the most beautiful of them all Captured and locked in a sorrow no one can conceive Joy vanished far out there Burning desire, but no hope She longs for home, bu tcan not find a way A dismal destiny hidden behind a smile Mardol, you glorious, sacrificed for peace you were You sold your flesh, but found no comfort That which glitters does not bring you peace Gern you devoted yourself and consumed many desire. But, still in the night, gold is dripping from your eyes. Fråya, Od you shall find when everything ends Then you shall be set free Untill that day you shall find no comfort Not even in the shining Brisinghamen |

Du gløymde di plikt som ein kjempande mann og drap din bror i sveven. Du trudde tid lækjar sår at mitt folk skulle tilgje og be. Du gløymde meg og mi heilage plikt, eg skal drepa deg i vrede. Blodhemn eg svergar, Blodhemn har eg alltid sverga. ---------------------------------------------- English translation: You killed my son, I am swearing revenge You destroyed my path, and truce with my people You blackened my name, they believed you You saw my destiny as mockery You was me dying with my fatal wound You thought I would never rise You thought the light was your friend, That you sprung from it You thought everyone would obey your words And forget the gifts of Valfather. You forgot your father’s wise words of betrayal, destiny and death You forgot your duty as a man of strife, and killed your brother sleeping You thought time would heal the wounds, that my people would forgive and pray You forgot about me and my holy duty I will kill you with anger Vengeance in blood I swear Vengeance in blood I have always sworn |

8. | Brisinghamen | 03:30 | Show lyrics |
Einsam ho gret, den vakraste av alle Fanga og låst i ei sorg ingen skjøner Gleden forsvann langt, langt der ute. Ei brennande lyst, en ingen håp. Ho lengtar heim, men finn ingen veg. Ein sorgfull lagnad gøymt bak eit smil. Mardol du fagre for fred du blei ofra Du solgte din lekam, men fann ingen trøyst. Det som glimrar gjer ikkje fred for deg Gern du ga deg hen, og slokka mangt eit begjær. Men, framleis drypp det om natta gull frå dine auge. Frøya, od skal du finna når alt er forbi då skal du bli sluppen fri. Inntil den dag finn du inga trøyst. Sjøl ikkje i glitrande Brisinghamen. ------------------------------------------------- English translation: In solitude she cries, the most beautiful of them all Captured and locked in a sorrow no one can conceive Joy vanished far out there Burning desire, but no hope She longs for home, bu tcan not find a way A dismal destiny hidden behind a smile Mardol, you glorious, sacrificed for peace you were You sold your flesh, but found no comfort That which glitters does not bring you peace Gern you devoted yourself and consumed many desire. But, still in the night, gold is dripping from your eyes. Fråya, Od you shall find when everything ends Then you shall be set free Untill that day you shall find no comfort Not even in the shining Brisinghamen |

Eiteren drypp, jorda skakar Eg vrir meg i smerte, lenka til berget Eg er din angst, eg er din pine. Tema meg du freista, du fanga meg i garn. Eg let meg ikkje rokka, eg er kaos Eg er din skam. Eg er din øvste visdoms bror, Og din fiende til din døyande dag. Bunden eg er, men eg ler av deg. Tru ikkje eg er til for å tena deg. Eg er av ei verd du aldri (i ditt liv) kan skjøna, for eg er vondskap, eg er urkraft. Ein dag skal me møtast på Vigridsletta. Ein dag er eg fri for lenker og eiter. Den dagen vil du skjøna kvifor eg blei til, kvifor latteren gjallar i natta. Den dagen skal me kjempa vår siste kamp, Og ta kvarandre av dage. "...Sola svartnar, jord sig i hav på himmelen bleiknar bjarte stjerner Røyken velatr fra veldige bål Høgt leikar flammen mot himmelen sjøl..." [English translation: IN CHAINS UNTIL RAGNAROK] The ether is dripping, the earth is quaking I am writhing with agony, chained to the mountain I am your fear, I am your torment You attemped to tame me, you caught me in nets I will not be budged, I am chaos, I am your shame I am your highest wisdom, and your enemy ’til your dying day Bound I am, but I am laughting at you Do not believe that I am here to serve you I am from a world you can not comprehend ’Cause I am Evil I am the Primal Force One day we shall meet at the fields of Vigrid One we I shall be free of chains and ether That day you will understand The purpose of my excistance Why the laughter is roaring in the night That day we will fight our last battle End end eachothers days "The sun turns black, ground slides into the sun Brave stars are fading in the sky Smoke rises from great fires The flame plays up high Against heaven itself" |

Horna gjallar, vinden bles Trommer dundrar, vinden bles Med spjut og boge meter til strid Me går i bresjen brødre gjennom blod. Med von om ëre i galskapens namn Me vert aldri slegn sjøl om me fell Me reiser ei til Folkvang til, vanedronnings famn, våre fedre skal me møta om me fell i dag. Me flytar ei frå var lagnad sjølv om vinden ikkje bles vår vei. Til valfaders hall brødre. Med heva spjut i Odins namn. Me skal heva krus i Odins namn Nidingar skal falla for våre føtter. Dei treng ikkje be om sollyse dagar. Ingen hugsar ein trëll uten herre Slegne vert dei når dei fell. Me hevar våpen for vår tru Me slaktar marken for vår tru Ingen nåde me viser for dei som snudde ryggen til. Døy skal dei som freista å mura brunnen inn. Dei som for med løgn og svik Gje oss styrke, gje oss mot Me skal sigra, brødre gjennom blod. ------------------------------------------------------ English translation: Horns are resounding, the winds are howling Drums are pounding, the winds are howling With spear and bow we go into battle We are making a stand, brothers in blood With hope for honour in the name of madness We will never be defeated, even if we fall We are not going to Folkvang, Into the arms of the Vanir Queen, We shall our fathers if we fall today We will not flee from our destiny, even though the winds aren’t blowing our way Brothers, to Valfaders hall With spear raised in the name of Oden We shall raise mugs in the name of Oden Cowards shall fall at our feet They do not have to pray for sun filled days No one remembers a slave without a master Defeated they are when they fall We raise weapons for our faith We slaughter the fields for our faith We have no mercy for those Who turned their backs Those who attemmp to close the well Shall die Those who lied and betrayed shall die Give us strenght , give us courage We will prevail Brothers in blood |

Utgards mørke, langt der ute Eg kjem ikkje inn, eit offer du krev? Eit offfer eg krev, ingen lovnad eg gjev Eg kan gje deg styrke, eg kan gje deg dauden Du seier du kan ta meg av dage. Men utan meg er heller ikkje du Skapar av svakhet, meg kan du ikkje truga. Lær deg å sjå med det retta auga. Du dunkle, du freistar å få meg i kne, du taler i gåter, og får meg vred. Med vrede, du veike, du ingenting får. Din visdom eg krev for at du skal forstå Du vil eg skal lida, og endå til dõy. Du gløymer mi makt, at du er min trëll. Ditt opphav du gløymer. Du prisar bedrag Di verd er ei faginning, ingen heilhet, ingen svar Orden eg skaper, men du motstrebar meg Du talar med klõrt, kva er det du krev. Eg krev eit offer, eg krev at du blør. Du våga å trosse dei eldste, som bar deg fram "Utgards mørke langt der ute, eit offer vart krevd, eit offer dei fekk. Eit sinn vart styrka, men lekam gjekk tapt, Klok vert den som veit å våga" "Han ofra sitt auge, for at fjan skulle sjå Han blødde for dei som til slutt lot han rå. Men ingen lovnad ei ga ham, det vart ingen fred. Dei skal framleis kjempa, til jorda sig ned" -------------------------------------------------------- English translation: The darkness of Utgard, far out there I can not enter, are you demanding sacrifice ? I demand a sacrifice, no promise I will give I can provide you with strength , I can give you death You say you can end my days But without my existence , would you not be Creator of weakness, me you can not threaten Learn how to see with the right eye Obscure One, you attempt to get me on my knees You speak through riddles, and call forth my wrath With wrath, weakling, nothing is achieved I demand your wisdom, to make you understand You want me to suffer, and even to die You are forgetting my power, you are but my slave Your source of origin you’re forgetting, your praising deceit Your world is an illusion; no wholeness, no answer Order I create, but your opposing me Your speaking with a cunning tongue, what are your demands I am demanding a sacrifice, I demand to see you bleed You have dared to oppose the Ancient Ones that brought you into existence The darkness of Utgard, a sacrifice was demanded, a sacrifice they received A mind was strengthened, but the flesh was lost He who dares becomes wise "He gave his eye to see He bled for those who let him rule at last But no promises they gave him, no peace became They shall still be fighting ’til the earth sinks" |

Hanen fall om på tunet Før han rakk gala -Men eg kjende tida Hesten hang i slitte taumar Med utakk piska inn i augo -Men eg makta å trekke plogen Bonden la seg til marka Grødelaus og ufri -Men eg rydda nye hov Vekstane visna, evige lovnadar brast Fargane falma, hjarta fraus fast Støyen stilna, men sigeren var tatt Større enn tid, tyngre enn natt! Fjella fall, og skogen brann Tida teia, vatn vart sand Sola slokna, men deg hadde eg att Større enn tid, tyngre enn natt! Lyset tok slutt, og stjernene slokna ; Før fylgjet nådde fram til gards -Men eg hugsa vegen Skipa sank med krigar og skald; I botnlaus avgrunn lagt til kvile -Men eg råka nye ukjende strender Gudane vart alle brått gamle Då dei gyldne veggane fall -Men eg gav dei ny kraft ------------------------------------------------------ English translation: Larger Than Time - Heavier Than Night The rooster fell dead in the dust Before the break of dawn But I knew time The horse hung from worn out straps With ungreatfulness Wipped into his eyes But I pulled the plow myself The peasant laid himself down on the fields Neither plenty nor free - but I cleared new land Growths withered, eternal oaths shattered Colours faded, hearts froze cold The noise silenced, but mine was victory and might Larger than time - heavier than night Mountains fell, forestgreen to black Time turned to silence, water to sand The sun went cold, gone all but one light Larger than time - heavier than night Days ended, and the stars died Before the wanderers reached home But I knew the way Ships sunk with all warriors and heralds Laid to rest in bottomless pits But I spotted new and unknown shores The gods suddenly aged When the golden walls fell But I gave them new powers |

Som eit åpent sår Kven kunne halde ut Hvis eg fylgjer deg, blir eg som dei? -Rak i rygg med fana Til dei hengde Dei vart som trea, livlause Snakka ikkje, rørte seg ikkje Handa kald, auga tomt (Mimir, lyttar du?) Det er langt, men trøttnas du ? Tida står stilla, alt anna er dødt Blod og kvad Likgudens sol skin i kvar og Ein sitt ansikt Urd svarar med ekko, kva vil du gjera? Kor la du hammaren, Thurisaz kallar ; Røska tak i faginningas rot Dei vart som trea, livlause Følte ikke, høyrde ikkje Handa kald, auga tomt Ymir, lyttar du?

It is a long journey, but are you growing tired? Time stands still, everything else is dead Blood and hymn The god of corpses’ sun Shines in one and everyone’s face Urd answers in echoes, what will you do? Where is your hammer Thurisaz calls: smashed hold of illusion’s roots They were like trees Lifeless Did not feel, did not hear Cold hand, empty eye Ymir, do you hear this? They were life trees Lifeless Ymir, why are you silent? |

Hanen fall om på tunet Før han rakk gala -Men eg kjende tida Hesten hang i slitte taumar Med utakk piska inn i augo -Men eg makta å trekke plogen Bonden la seg til marka Grødelaus og ufri -Men eg rydda nye hov Vekstane visna, evige lovnadar brast Fargane falma, hjarta fraus fast Støyen stilna, men sigeren var tatt Større enn tid, tyngre enn natt! Fjella fall, og skogen brann Tida teia, vatn vart sand Sola slokna, men deg hadde eg att Større enn tid, tyngre enn natt! Lyset tok slutt, og stjernene slokna ; Før fylgjet nådde fram til gards -Men eg hugsa vegen Skipa sank med krigar og skald; I botnlaus avgrunn lagt til kvile -Men eg råka nye ukjende strender Gudane vart alle brått gamle Då dei gyldne veggane fall -Men eg gav dei ny kraft ------------------------------------------------------ English translation: Larger Than Time - Heavier Than Night The rooster fell dead in the dust Before the break of dawn But I knew time The horse hung from worn out straps With ungreatfulness Wipped into his eyes But I pulled the plow myself The peasant laid himself down on the fields Neither plenty nor free - but I cleared new land Growths withered, eternal oaths shattered Colours faded, hearts froze cold The noise silenced, but mine was victory and might Larger than time - heavier than night Mountains fell, forestgreen to black Time turned to silence, water to sand The sun went cold, gone all but one light Larger than time - heavier than night Days ended, and the stars died Before the wanderers reached home But I knew the way Ships sunk with all warriors and heralds Laid to rest in bottomless pits But I spotted new and unknown shores The gods suddenly aged When the golden walls fell But I gave them new powers |

Time stands still, everything else is dead Blood and hymn The god of corpses’ sun Shines in one and everyone’s face Urd answers in echoes, what will you do?

Buskapen åt hyrden Og svalt smilande i hjel Beitet fann dei ikkje Du elsa din neste, Og åt di eiga mor Tapar i eigen strid Herre i eigne lenker Du ser mot sola og frys i hjel Hakka til blods i gyldne bur Kvalt i kysk høgsong Du kyssar handa som drap Din eigen bror Vaer du sikker, Eg snur aldri ryggen mot deg Vaer du sikker, Eg skal alltid håna deg Tenk nøye etter Kva du har skapt Då du ligg der og døyr Høyr, der ute kor Latteren vår ljomar Tenk etter kva Som ventar deg, Du eledige dåre! Me lo då Ormgard brann ----------------------------------------------------------- English translation: The Hive II - Strangled By Purity The herd ate it’s shepherd And starved to death, smiling They didn’t reach the meadows You loved your neighbour And ate your own mother Losing your own war Slave in your own chains You look to the sun And freeze to death Torn apart in golden cages Strangled by purity Kissing the hand that killed your own brother Be sure of this I’ll never turn my back to you Be sure of this I’ll always mock you Consider what you’ve created When you’re waiting for death Listen, out there Where our laugher is resounding Think of what’s waiting for you You miserable fool!

Hanen fall om på tunet Før han rakk gala -Men eg kjende tida Hesten hang i slitte taumar Med utakk piska inn i augo -Men eg makta å trekke plogen Bonden la seg til marka Grødelaus og ufri -Men eg rydda nye hov Vekstane visna, evige lovnadar brast Fargane falma, hjarta fraus fast Støyen stilna, men sigeren var tatt Større enn tid, tyngre enn natt! Fjella fall, og skogen brann Tida teia, vatn vart sand Sola slokna, men deg hadde eg att Større enn tid, tyngre enn natt! Lyset tok slutt, og stjernene slokna ; Før fylgjet nådde fram til gards -Men eg hugsa vegen Skipa sank med krigar og skald; I botnlaus avgrunn lagt til kvile -Men eg råka nye ukjende strender Gudane vart alle brått gamle Då dei gyldne veggane fall -Men eg gav dei ny kraft ------------------------------------------------------ English translation: Larger Than Time - Heavier Than Night The rooster fell dead in the dust Before the break of dawn But I knew time The horse hung from worn out straps With ungreatfulness Wipped into his eyes But I pulled the plow myself The peasant laid himself down on the fields Neither plenty nor free - but I cleared new land Growths withered, eternal oaths shattered Colours faded, hearts froze cold The noise silenced, but mine was victory and might Larger than time - heavier than night Mountains fell, forestgreen to black Time turned to silence, water to sand The sun went cold, gone all but one light Larger than time - heavier than night Days ended, and the stars died Before the wanderers reached home But I knew the way Ships sunk with all warriors and heralds Laid to rest in bottomless pits But I spotted new and unknown shores The gods suddenly aged When the golden walls fell But I gave them new powers |

Kor la du hammaren, Thurisaz kallar ; Røska tak i faginningas rot Dei vart som trea, livlause Følte ikke, høyrde ikkje Handa kald, auga tomt Ymir, lyttar du?

Time stands still, everything else is dead Blood and hymn The god of corpses’ sun Shines in one and everyone’s face Urd answers in echoes, what will you do? Where is your hammer Thurisaz calls: smashed hold of illusion’s roots They were like trees Lifeless Did not feel, did not hear Cold hand, empty eye Ymir, do you hear this? They were life trees Lifeless Ymir, why are you silent? |

Hanen fall om på tunet Før han rakk gala -Men eg kjende tida Hesten hang i slitte taumar Med utakk piska inn i augo -Men eg makta å trekke plogen Bonden la seg til marka Grødelaus og ufri -Men eg rydda nye hov Vekstane visna, evige lovnadar brast Fargane falma, hjarta fraus fast Støyen stilna, men sigeren var tatt Større enn tid, tyngre enn natt! Fjella fall, og skogen brann Tida teia, vatn vart sand Sola slokna, men deg hadde eg att Større enn tid, tyngre enn natt! Lyset tok slutt, og stjernene slokna ; Før fylgjet nådde fram til gards -Men eg hugsa vegen Skipa sank med krigar og skald; I botnlaus avgrunn lagt til kvile -Men eg råka nye ukjende strender Gudane vart alle brått gamle Då dei gyldne veggane fall -Men eg gav dei ny kraft ------------------------------------------------------ English translation: Larger Than Time - Heavier Than Night The rooster fell dead in the dust Before the break of dawn But I knew time The horse hung from worn out straps With ungreatfulness Wipped into his eyes But I pulled the plow myself The peasant laid himself down on the fields Neither plenty nor free - but I cleared new land Growths withered, eternal oaths shattered Colours faded, hearts froze cold The noise silenced, but mine was victory and might Larger than time - heavier than night Mountains fell, forestgreen to black Time turned to silence, water to sand The sun went cold, gone all but one light Larger than time - heavier than night Days ended, and the stars died Before the wanderers reached home But I knew the way Ships sunk with all warriors and heralds Laid to rest in bottomless pits But I spotted new and unknown shores The gods suddenly aged When the golden walls fell But I gave them new powers |

Time stands still, everything else is dead Blood and hymn The god of corpses’ sun Shines in one and everyone’s face Urd answers in echoes, what will you do?

Det er langt, men trøttnas du ? Tida står stilla, alt anna er dødt Blod og kvad Likgudens sol skin i kvar og Ein sitt ansikt Urd svarar med ekko, kva vil du gjera? Kor la du hammaren, Thurisaz kallar ; Røska tak i faginningas rot Dei vart som trea, livlause Følte ikke, høyrde ikkje Handa kald, auga tomt Ymir, lyttar du? Dei vart som trea, livlause Ymir, kvifor er du tyst? ------------------------------------------------- English translation: Deadhymn Like an open wound Who could endure If i follow you, will i be like them Standing tall, with the flag of the hanged ones They were like the trees Lifeless - did not speak Did not move Cold hand, empty eye (Mimir, do you hear this?) It is a long journey, but are you growing tired? Time stands still, everything else is dead Blood and hymn The god of corpses’ sun Shines in one and everyone’s face Urd answers in echoes, what will you do? Where is your hammer Thurisaz calls: smashed hold of illusion’s roots They were like trees Lifeless Did not feel, did not hear Cold hand, empty eye Ymir, do you hear this? They were life trees Lifeless Ymir, why are you silent? |

Hanen fall om på tunet Før han rakk gala -Men eg kjende tida Hesten hang i slitte taumar Med utakk piska inn i augo -Men eg makta å trekke plogen Bonden la seg til marka Grødelaus og ufri -Men eg rydda nye hov Vekstane visna, evige lovnadar brast Fargane falma, hjarta fraus fast Støyen stilna, men sigeren var tatt Større enn tid, tyngre enn natt! Fjella fall, og skogen brann Tida teia, vatn vart sand Sola slokna, men deg hadde eg att Større enn tid, tyngre enn natt! Lyset tok slutt, og stjernene slokna ; Før fylgjet nådde fram til gards -Men eg hugsa vegen Skipa sank med krigar og skald; I botnlaus avgrunn lagt til kvile -Men eg råka nye ukjende strender Gudane vart alle brått gamle Då dei gyldne veggane fall -Men eg gav dei ny kraft ------------------------------------------------------ English translation: Larger Than Time - Heavier Than Night The rooster fell dead in the dust Before the break of dawn But I knew time The horse hung from worn out straps With ungreatfulness Wipped into his eyes But I pulled the plow myself The peasant laid himself down on the fields Neither plenty nor free - but I cleared new land Growths withered, eternal oaths shattered Colours faded, hearts froze cold The noise silenced, but mine was victory and might Larger than time - heavier than night Mountains fell, forestgreen to black Time turned to silence, water to sand The sun went cold, gone all but one light Larger than time - heavier than night Days ended, and the stars died Before the wanderers reached home But I knew the way Ships sunk with all warriors and heralds Laid to rest in bottomless pits But I spotted new and unknown shores The gods suddenly aged When the golden walls fell But I gave them new powers |

Time stands still, everything else is dead Blood and hymn The god of corpses’ sun Shines in one and everyone’s face Urd answers in echoes, what will you do?

Eg for ut i strid Då dei framande kom Eg sloss for min heim og min buskap Eg kjempa dei ned Med mitt spjut og min boge Så dei heime kunne eta og sova Eg drakk og eg skråla Eg lo og eg skrøyt Av mine sigrar, mitt mot og min styrke Eg fortalde om gullet eg fann Hjå dei eg slakta ned for fote Eg vakna brått Ein kald og mørk morgon Med buskapen daud og trellane rømde All mjøden var drukken og venene reist Då la eg i veg til lovande land For atter å vende heim med aere Alle som sto i vegen for meg Skulle kjenne min styrke og vreide Ved ein flod sto ein gammal og støl mann Han vokta ein båt som eg trong Eg skulle hogge han ned Men sverdet brast og Den gamle sto der og flirte "Fattige tåpe, som aldri har skjøna At ein krigar skal kjempe mot krigar Aldri du vinn visst du berre ser fram Og ikkje inn" Med eit var den gamle vekk Og vinden tok med seg båten Ved bredda sto eg og skua Men nådde ikkje den andre sida Då starta kampen mot krigaren Eg alltid trudde eg kjente ------------------------------------------------------- English translation: Warrior Unknown I went into battle When the strangers came I fought for my home and my herd I struck them down With my spear and bow So that those at home could sleep and eat I drank and yelled I laughed and bragged Of my victories, my courage and my strength I told of the gold I found At those I had slain before me Suddenly I awoke A cold and dark morning With a dead herd and slaves escaped All mead and all my friends were gone That was when I went away to promising land For once again to return with honour Everyone that crossed my path Was to feel my strength and wrath By a flood stood an old and tired man He guarded a boat which I needed I charged to cut him down But the sword broke And the old one stood there grinning "Poor fool, who never had seen That a warrior shall fight against warrior You’ll never win if you’re only looking ahead And never inwards" Suddenly the old one was gone And the wind carried away the boat By the shore I stood looking But could not reach the other side That’s when the battle begun Against the warrior I always thought I knew |

Hanen fall om på tunet Før han rakk gala -Men eg kjende tida Hesten hang i slitte taumar Med utakk piska inn i augo -Men eg makta å trekke plogen Bonden la seg til marka Grødelaus og ufri -Men eg rydda nye hov Vekstane visna, evige lovnadar brast Fargane falma, hjarta fraus fast Støyen stilna, men sigeren var tatt Større enn tid, tyngre enn natt! Fjella fall, og skogen brann Tida teia, vatn vart sand Sola slokna, men deg hadde eg att Større enn tid, tyngre enn natt! Lyset tok slutt, og stjernene slokna ; Før fylgjet nådde fram til gards -Men eg hugsa vegen Skipa sank med krigar og skald; I botnlaus avgrunn lagt til kvile -Men eg råka nye ukjende strender Gudane vart alle brått gamle Då dei gyldne veggane fall -Men eg gav dei ny kraft ------------------------------------------------------ English translation: Larger Than Time - Heavier Than Night The rooster fell dead in the dust Before the break of dawn But I knew time The horse hung from worn out straps With ungreatfulness Wipped into his eyes But I pulled the plow myself The peasant laid himself down on the fields Neither plenty nor free - but I cleared new land Growths withered, eternal oaths shattered Colours faded, hearts froze cold The noise silenced, but mine was victory and might Larger than time - heavier than night Mountains fell, forestgreen to black Time turned to silence, water to sand The sun went cold, gone all but one light Larger than time - heavier than night Days ended, and the stars died Before the wanderers reached home But I knew the way Ships sunk with all warriors and heralds Laid to rest in bottomless pits But I spotted new and unknown shores The gods suddenly aged When the golden walls fell But I gave them new powers |

Kor la du hammaren, Thurisaz kallar ; Røska tak i faginningas rot Dei vart som trea, livlause Følte ikke, høyrde ikkje Handa kald, auga tomt Ymir, lyttar du?

It is a long journey, but are you growing tired? Time stands still, everything else is dead Blood and hymn The god of corpses’ sun Shines in one and everyone’s face Urd answers in echoes, what will you do? Where is your hammer Thurisaz calls: smashed hold of illusion’s roots They were like trees Lifeless Did not feel, did not hear Cold hand, empty eye Ymir, do you hear this? They were life trees Lifeless Ymir, why are you silent? |

1. | Større enn tid - Tyngre enn natt | 10:07 | Show lyrics |
Hanen fall om på tunet Før han rakk gala -Men eg kjende tida Hesten hang i slitte taumar Med utakk piska inn i augo -Men eg makta å trekke plogen Bonden la seg til marka Grødelaus og ufri -Men eg rydda nye hov Vekstane visna, evige lovnadar brast Fargane falma, hjarta fraus fast Støyen stilna, men sigeren var tatt Større enn tid, tyngre enn natt! Fjella fall, og skogen brann Tida teia, vatn vart sand Sola slokna, men deg hadde eg att Større enn tid, tyngre enn natt! Lyset tok slutt, og stjernene slokna ; Før fylgjet nådde fram til gards -Men eg hugsa vegen Skipa sank med krigar og skald; I botnlaus avgrunn lagt til kvile -Men eg råka nye ukjende strender Gudane vart alle brått gamle Då dei gyldne veggane fall -Men eg gav dei ny kraft ------------------------------------------------------ English translation: Larger Than Time - Heavier Than Night The rooster fell dead in the dust Before the break of dawn But I knew time The horse hung from worn out straps With ungreatfulness Wipped into his eyes But I pulled the plow myself The peasant laid himself down on the fields Neither plenty nor free - but I cleared new land Growths withered, eternal oaths shattered Colours faded, hearts froze cold The noise silenced, but mine was victory and might Larger than time - heavier than night Mountains fell, forestgreen to black Time turned to silence, water to sand The sun went cold, gone all but one light Larger than time - heavier than night Days ended, and the stars died Before the wanderers reached home But I knew the way Ships sunk with all warriors and heralds Laid to rest in bottomless pits But I spotted new and unknown shores The gods suddenly aged When the golden walls fell But I gave them new powers |

2. | Daudningekvida | 03:31 | Show lyrics |
Som eit åpent sår Kven kunne halde ut Hvis eg fylgjer deg, blir eg som dei? -Rak i rygg med fana Til dei hengde Dei vart som trea, livlause Snakka ikkje, rørte seg ikkje Handa kald, auga tomt (Mimir, lyttar du?) Det er langt, men trøttnas du ? Tida står stilla, alt anna er dødt Blod og kvad Likgudens sol skin i kvar og Ein sitt ansikt Urd svarar med ekko, kva vil du gjera? Kor la du hammaren, Thurisaz kallar ; Røska tak i faginningas rot Dei vart som trea, livlause Følte ikke, høyrde ikkje Handa kald, auga tomt Ymir, lyttar du? Dei vart som trea, livlause Ymir, kvifor er du tyst? ------------------------------------------------- English translation: Deadhymn Like an open wound Who could endure If i follow you, will i be like them Standing tall, with the flag of the hanged ones They were like the trees Lifeless - did not speak Did not move Cold hand, empty eye (Mimir, do you hear this?) It is a long journey, but are you growing tired? Time stands still, everything else is dead Blood and hymn The god of corpses’ sun Shines in one and everyone’s face Urd answers in echoes, what will you do? Where is your hammer Thurisaz calls: smashed hold of illusion’s roots They were like trees Lifeless Did not feel, did not hear Cold hand, empty eye Ymir, do you hear this? They were life trees Lifeless Ymir, why are you silent? |

4. | Ormgard | 05:29 | Show lyrics |
Ein jotne skrik i lengsel Aesar druknar i banesår I sterke armar veks Gangar full av råte Fjella let seg ikkje Lenger løfte Berre trellen eig Sin eigen fridom Når kongar fylgjer Kristenmanns lov Kven skal bera fram sølvet Kven skal vakta bogen Kven skal døme rett Når hjarta er av kol Skinnlaus ormyngel Kven vil vel kome til Slik ei verd Dei storme menn drep Sitt avkom med sløve sverd La dei angre, la dei lide Men trøyst dei ikkje Gje dei aldri handa, La dei aldri sjå auget Tannlaust kjøterpakk Kven vil vel høyre på slike ord Kvite krist drep si eiga mor La dei fryse, la dei svelte Men trøyst dei ikkje Om dei få orkar turnen, Skal me byggja muren Om dei få orkar turen, Skal me byggja muren Om dei få orkar turen Skal me byggja muren ----------------------------------------------- English translation: The Hive A troll screams with longing Gods drown in fatal wounds Tunnels of rot grows inside Strong arms The mountains will no longer be moved Only the slave owns his own freedom When kings follow the laws of christened men Who will carry forth the silver Who will guard the bow Who will judge fairly With hearts of coal Worm with no skin Who would want to Enter such a world The great men kill their children with blunt swords Let them regret Let them suffer But give them no comfort Never give them your hand Never let them see the eye Toothless bastards Who wants to hear such words The white christ kills his mother Let them freeze, let them starve But give them no comfort If the few endures the journey Then, we will build the wall If the few endures the journey Then we will build the wall If the few endures the journey Then we will build the wall |

På sytti og tusen favnars djup Slår ein puls jamnare Og høgare Bølger breier seg Som hjarteslag Gjennom lidlaus Mosaikk Ein vis mann Tre høgder var han Kom ein gong Ned hit og sa: Det som har vaert, Var aldri Då såg dei elva Brenne, og sola blø Då såg dei elva brenne Og sola blø Ei norne, Kom ho med Ned fra røttene Og livets tre Alt vil døy og forgå Stillna skal atter rå Då høyrde dei Songen kvelast Og barna dø På sytti og tusen favnars djup Slår ein puls jamnare og høgare Tomme univers i kvart eit ord Der oppe, kor draumar døyr -------------------------------------------- English translation:Æge’s Dream Seventy and thousand feet below A pulse is beating more evenly And higher Waves expand like heartbeats Through silent mosaic A wise man Three heights he was Once came down here and said: "What was, was never" Then they saw the river Burn, and the sun bled Then they saw the river Burn, and the sun bled A norn She came too Down from the roots And the tree of life "everything will die and decay Silence will once again prevail" Then they heard the song choking And the children dying Seventy and thousand feet below A pulse is beating more Evenly and higher Empty universes in every world Up there, where dreams die |

9. | Krigaren eg ikkje kjende | 06:32 | Show lyrics |
Eg for ut i strid Då dei framande kom Eg sloss for min heim og min buskap Eg kjempa dei ned Med mitt spjut og min boge Så dei heime kunne eta og sova Eg drakk og eg skråla Eg lo og eg skrøyt Av mine sigrar, mitt mot og min styrke Eg fortalde om gullet eg fann Hjå dei eg slakta ned for fote Eg vakna brått Ein kald og mørk morgon Med buskapen daud og trellane rømde All mjøden var drukken og venene reist Då la eg i veg til lovande land For atter å vende heim med aere Alle som sto i vegen for meg Skulle kjenne min styrke og vreide Ved ein flod sto ein gammal og støl mann Han vokta ein båt som eg trong Eg skulle hogge han ned Men sverdet brast og Den gamle sto der og flirte "Fattige tåpe, som aldri har skjøna At ein krigar skal kjempe mot krigar Aldri du vinn visst du berre ser fram Og ikkje inn" Med eit var den gamle vekk Og vinden tok med seg båten Ved bredda sto eg og skua Men nådde ikkje den andre sida Då starta kampen mot krigaren Eg alltid trudde eg kjente ------------------------------------------------------- English translation: Warrior Unknown I went into battle When the strangers came I fought for my home and my herd I struck them down With my spear and bow So that those at home could sleep and eat I drank and yelled I laughed and bragged Of my victories, my courage and my strength I told of the gold I found At those I had slain before me Suddenly I awoke A cold and dark morning With a dead herd and slaves escaped All mead and all my friends were gone That was when I went away to promising land For once again to return with honour Everyone that crossed my path Was to feel my strength and wrath By a flood stood an old and tired man He guarded a boat which I needed I charged to cut him down But the sword broke And the old one stood there grinning "Poor fool, who never had seen That a warrior shall fight against warrior You’ll never win if you’re only looking ahead And never inwards" Suddenly the old one was gone And the wind carried away the boat By the shore I stood looking But could not reach the other side That’s when the battle begun Against the warrior I always thought I knew |

Faces - eyes - noise Floating patterns of no coherency, none needed From behind the chapel of dreams came imagery From another world They left for a brighter star A new home called "now" Womb - death - dawn Follow seafarers on an ocean of silence Remaining humanoid shells, a distant thought The chasm between truth and flesh paved With bricks from secret cities Entering linear orbit Crushing the foundations of divided times Suns reflected Convoys... Convoys to... Convoys to nothingness... |

2. | The Voices | 06:07 | Show lyrics |
I hear their poisonous words again As they call out for submission and code "To be less than one and drown equals pride" they say These were the voices that destroyed us Did I want for this loss to be sustained? Through the clipping of wings found the secret paths From the blinding light of lies obtained second sight Stabbed in the back, gained strength in One-ness Taken from me, I learned to preserve These were the voices that sunk our ships These are the voices - poisoned ears bleeding Did I pray for the dead to be kept awake? Did I gently place these thorns through the surface of my eyes? Did I ask for this fathomless tragedy to go on forever? Fail to comply - reborn in war The answer being no Did I? |

I’ll bring back our glory And wisdom Achieve I’m searching the Old path to bring back the elder" Smug as only the fool can be, mindless Blindly. He marches towards his fate Summoned to the Cromlech by hunger within [Voice from a parallel existance:] "Come inside my friend, your father is waiting. Your search ends here, Wisdom you have gained, the signs you have read." Doomed to walk the smiths dungeons Underworld slavery Through the eyes of the fool nothing can be seen The elder is hiding beyond thoughts Only leaving with glimpses of long lost knowledge I once saw the Cromlech and was kindly invited But I stayed the beast I kissed the ground (I drank the wine) (I took up the runes) I found the home of the elder |

It was here I was born While the stars held their breaths After ages of pseudo-presence I climbed the final steps Up from deep beneath the shores Eieth no longer sleeping gal Thus alive and the stillness Only to be broken by whispers Towards the moon Bloodred from the Unborn Ones cries That will not be silenced or rest Forever more and awaken not To paint in blanks or wither Beauty blinding no more than the whole is less now We see clearly what was not there The prey become predator Slaughtering not raging blindly Through tunnels of sorrow and lust For solitude and peace of mind Says it is time to unmask and face Behind lines - that is Enemy I |

He sees his world through the crystal state of departure The hooves echo the approach of the third coming On it’s back a goddess with shining black armour The steel that will separate the will from doing Closing in as he falls to his knees, surrounded by Plasma of dying chapters Life succumbs to silence, desire alone to the dying Of inner banes His hands no longer grasping contraction as he laughs Winds play their mourners dirge through heaps of corpses The hooves thundering the arrival of the final coming Carrying forth the seeds of eternal night So that the Shadow may sleep, eternity weeps While we laugh and remain forever She feels the cold floor giving no comfort as she fades The hooves echo the approach of the third coming On it’s back the faceless her Elder Ones saw The agents of microcosmic change shattering the megalith Stories told, divinity unfold She passes on, yet remains in Smirr Cold remains scattered in dead void dreams |

10. | Sigmundskvadet | 06:57 | Show lyrics |
Í Føroyum búðu høvdingar tveir, Tróndur og Sigmundur itu teir. Noregs menn! dansið væl í stillum; stilli tykkum allar, riddarar, Noregs menn! dansið væl í stillum. Sigmundur búði Skúvoy á, Tróndur búði við Gøtuvág. So grammur var Tróndur, hann hugsar ilt: Sigmundur hevur vár’ veitslu spilt. Tróndur hann situr í sínari lon: “Tit heintið mær Sjúrða Tollaksson. Tit heintið mær Gutta og láa Tór.” Snarliga boð eftir teimum fór. Inn komu garpar og søgdu so: “Hvat vilt tú, Tróndur, tú sendi oss boð?” “Eg havi sent tykkum boðini tey, at tit skulu hjálpa til Sigmunds deyð. Tit hvessið spjót, tit hvessið knív; tað skal galda Sigmunds lív. Hetta mítt ráð man vera gott: Vit skulu herja á hann á nátt.” Teir samlaðu saman sveinar og menn og gingu til strandar allir í senn. So sigldi Tróndur Skúvoyarfjør, skútan bognaði sum ein gjør. So myrk var náttin, og skútan gegg, so blíðan byrðin Tróndur fekk. Myrk var náttin, og skútan rann, teir hildu beint mót Skúvoy fram. Eingin vardi, teir komu hartil, alt gekk til, sum Tróndur vil. Skramblaðu teir við vápnum hart, so hurðar gingu í smildur snart. Sigmundur vaknar úr svøvni brátt: “Hvør brýtur inn á meg í nátt?” “Hann, sum brýtur tínar dyr, tað er tann maður, tú háaði fyrr. Sigmund helt sítt svørð ímót, fimm fullu høvur á Tróndar fót. Sigmundur høggur av makt og vold, trý fullu høvur á Tróndar skjold. Tróndur hann var til ilsku fús: “Tit setið nú eld á Sigmunds hús!” Sigmundur talar til frænda sín: “Nú má eg rýma av húsi mín’.” Einar úr Suðuroy, hans frændi Tór, eingin annar við Sigmundi fór. Sigmunds hústrú stendur við vegg: “Tú hoyr meg , Tróndur Gøtuskegg. Stríðist tú móti konu og børn, so ert tú grískari enn ein bjørn.” “Tit sløkkið eld, tit stingið inn knív! Eg stríðist bert um Sigmunds lív.” Tróndur vendi borgini frá, beint ímót’ sum Sigmundur lá. Tróndur hevði so fyri orð: “Eg kenni royk av Sigmunds sporð.” Tróndur biður teir hava mót: “Eg kenni royk av Sigmunds fót.” Teir gingu fram um grøna lund, teir dvøldust við gjónna eina stund. Sigmundur sær um gjónna brá: Steingríms høvur á vølli lá. Sigmundur aftur um gjónna sprakk, svørðið úr hans hondum stakk. Sigmundur flýddi á oynna norð, Tróndur hevði tá manndómsorð. Sigmundur kastaði í havið seg, Einar og Tóri sama veg. Tá ið Tróndur hetta sá, aftur at báti skundar hann tá. Aftur at báti skundar hann tá, men ikki kundi hann Sigmundi ná. Svimja teir tríggir við miklari ferð, sum streymur harður á firði er. Tórur aftur um seg sá: “Nú tekur Einar at dragna frá.” Sigmundur gjørdi sær tann ómak: hann legði Einar á sítt bak. Tórur rætti Sigmundi hond: “Nú hevur Einar givið upp ond.” Sigmund slepti Einar’ av, Suðuroyarfjørður varð hans grav. Sigmundur svimur og frændi hans, enn er fjórðingur eftir til lands. Tórur legði seg bylgju ímót. “Nú eri eg givin í hond og fót.” Tú svim til lands, legg einki í meg! Eg eri farin, men redda teg. Svaraði Sigmund’, í sjónum sat: “Ei, mín frændi, skiljast vit at. Vit vóru saman í mangari ferð, ei mín frændi, skiljast vit her.” Sigmundur var í orðum trygg’, hann legði Tóra á sín rygg. Sigmundur svimur av allari makt: “Nú hava vit at landi lagt.” Brimið tað brýtur sum boðaslóð, Tað Tóra niður at botni dró. Sigmundur var ein menskur mann, men ikki bóru beinini hann. Tá hann hevði svomið tann veg so lang, hann legði seg stillan niður í tang. Torgrímur átti Sandvík fyrr, hann sá ein morgun út fyri dyr. Torgrímur hugdi mót tara út: “Eg meini, eg síggi ein reyðan klút.” Tórgrímur talar til dreingir tveir: “Tit vitið, um har er nakað meir.” Inn koma dreringir og siga frá, stórur maðu rí tara lá. Ein stórur maður í tara lá, ongum líkari enn Sigmund’ at sjá. Torgrímur tók sær øks í hond, so fór hann til sjóvarstrond. Torgrímur niður í taran sær, maktarleysur lá Sigmundur har. Torgrímur talar til sveinar sín’: “Gullringur Sigmunds skal vera mín!” “Dreingir, tit haldið mær í hans hár, meðan eg gevi honum banasár. Dreingir, tit haldið (í) hans hár í topp, meðan eg skilji høvur frá kropp’.” Dreingirnir hildu í hans hár, meðan hann gav honum banasár. Dreingirnir hildu (í) hans hár í topp, meðan hann skilti høvur frá topp. Gullringin bóru teir heim til hús, men kroppin gróvu teir í sand og grús. Ein slíkan enda Sigmundur fekk, hans líki ei í Føroyum gekk. |

Í Føroyum búðu høvdingar tveir, Tróndur og Sigmundur itu teir. Noregs menn! dansið væl í stillum; stilli tykkum allar, riddarar, Noregs menn! dansið væl í stillum. Sigmundur búði Skúvoy á, Tróndur búði við Gøtuvág. So grammur var Tróndur, hann hugsar ilt: Sigmundur hevur vár’ veitslu spilt. Tróndur hann situr í sínari lon: “Tit heintið mær Sjúrða Tollaksson. Tit heintið mær Gutta og láa Tór.” Snarliga boð eftir teimum fór. Inn komu garpar og søgdu so: “Hvat vilt tú, Tróndur, tú sendi oss boð?” “Eg havi sent tykkum boðini tey, at tit skulu hjálpa til Sigmunds deyð. Tit hvessið spjót, tit hvessið knív; tað skal galda Sigmunds lív. Hetta mítt ráð man vera gott: Vit skulu herja á hann á nátt.” Teir samlaðu saman sveinar og menn og gingu til strandar allir í senn. So sigldi Tróndur Skúvoyarfjør, skútan bognaði sum ein gjør. So myrk var náttin, og skútan gegg, so blíðan byrðin Tróndur fekk. Myrk var náttin, og skútan rann, teir hildu beint mót Skúvoy fram. Eingin vardi, teir komu hartil, alt gekk til, sum Tróndur vil. Skramblaðu teir við vápnum hart, so hurðar gingu í smildur snart. Sigmundur vaknar úr svøvni brátt: “Hvør brýtur inn á meg í nátt?” “Hann, sum brýtur tínar dyr, tað er tann maður, tú háaði fyrr. Sigmund helt sítt svørð ímót, fimm fullu høvur á Tróndar fót. Sigmundur høggur av makt og vold, trý fullu høvur á Tróndar skjold. Tróndur hann var til ilsku fús: “Tit setið nú eld á Sigmunds hús!” Sigmundur talar til frænda sín: “Nú má eg rýma av húsi mín’.” Einar úr Suðuroy, hans frændi Tór, eingin annar við Sigmundi fór. Sigmunds hústrú stendur við vegg: “Tú hoyr meg , Tróndur Gøtuskegg. Stríðist tú móti konu og børn, so ert tú grískari enn ein bjørn.” “Tit sløkkið eld, tit stingið inn knív! Eg stríðist bert um Sigmunds lív.” Tróndur vendi borgini frá, beint ímót’ sum Sigmundur lá. Tróndur hevði so fyri orð: “Eg kenni royk av Sigmunds sporð.” Tróndur biður teir hava mót: “Eg kenni royk av Sigmunds fót.” Teir gingu fram um grøna lund, teir dvøldust við gjónna eina stund. Sigmundur sær um gjónna brá: Steingríms høvur á vølli lá. Sigmundur aftur um gjónna sprakk, svørðið úr hans hondum stakk. Sigmundur flýddi á oynna norð, Tróndur hevði tá manndómsorð. Sigmundur kastaði í havið seg, Einar og Tóri sama veg. Tá ið Tróndur hetta sá, aftur at báti skundar hann tá. Aftur at báti skundar hann tá, men ikki kundi hann Sigmundi ná. Svimja teir tríggir við miklari ferð, sum streymur harður á firði er. Tórur aftur um seg sá: “Nú tekur Einar at dragna frá.” Sigmundur gjørdi sær tann ómak: hann legði Einar á sítt bak. Tórur rætti Sigmundi hond: “Nú hevur Einar givið upp ond.” Sigmund slepti Einar’ av, Suðuroyarfjørður varð hans grav. Sigmundur svimur og frændi hans, enn er fjórðingur eftir til lands. Tórur legði seg bylgju ímót. “Nú eri eg givin í hond og fót.” Tú svim til lands, legg einki í meg! Eg eri farin, men redda teg. Svaraði Sigmund’, í sjónum sat: “Ei, mín frændi, skiljast vit at. Vit vóru saman í mangari ferð, ei mín frændi, skiljast vit her.” Sigmundur var í orðum trygg’, hann legði Tóra á sín rygg. Sigmundur svimur av allari makt: “Nú hava vit at landi lagt.” Brimið tað brýtur sum boðaslóð, Tað Tóra niður at botni dró. Sigmundur var ein menskur mann, men ikki bóru beinini hann. Tá hann hevði svomið tann veg so lang, hann legði seg stillan niður í tang. Torgrímur átti Sandvík fyrr, hann sá ein morgun út fyri dyr. Torgrímur hugdi mót tara út: “Eg meini, eg síggi ein reyðan klút.” Tórgrímur talar til dreingir tveir: “Tit vitið, um har er nakað meir.” Inn koma dreringir og siga frá, stórur maðu rí tara lá. Ein stórur maður í tara lá, ongum líkari enn Sigmund’ at sjá. Torgrímur tók sær øks í hond, so fór hann til sjóvarstrond. Torgrímur niður í taran sær, maktarleysur lá Sigmundur har. Torgrímur talar til sveinar sín’: “Gullringur Sigmunds skal vera mín!” “Dreingir, tit haldið mær í hans hár, meðan eg gevi honum banasár.

Faces - eyes - noise Floating patterns of no coherency, none needed From behind the chapel of dreams came imagery From another world They left for a brighter star A new home called "now" Womb - death - dawn Follow seafarers on an ocean of silence Remaining humanoid shells, a distant thought The chasm between truth and flesh paved With bricks from secret cities Entering linear orbit Crushing the foundations of divided times Suns reflected Convoys... Convoys to... Convoys to nothingness... |

2. | The Voices | 06:07 | Show lyrics |
I hear their poisonous words again As they call out for submission and code "To be less than one and drown equals pride" they say These were the voices that destroyed us Did I want for this loss to be sustained? Through the clipping of wings found the secret paths From the blinding light of lies obtained second sight Stabbed in the back, gained strength in One-ness Taken from me, I learned to preserve These were the voices that sunk our ships These are the voices - poisoned ears bleeding Did I pray for the dead to be kept awake? Did I gently place these thorns through the surface of my eyes? Did I ask for this fathomless tragedy to go on forever? Fail to comply - reborn in war The answer being no Did I? |

Betrayed by disillusion Enslaved by insanity Enslaved by commitment to betrayal Betrayed by all elements My vision is clear and strong I comfort myself to fulfil it There exists no edge Clearly existence is wrong I kill myself to fulfil my vision Consumed by astral interference I deny this monument to be my sphere I choke this ego to find that i’m dead I deny this monument to be my sphere I will die as one |

Hollow inside - I didn’t sleep too well last night Step over, turn the light Hollow inside - I didn’t dream too much last night Step over, turn the light Knock on the door - these are the interfering themes Open it up, too soon Shorter in time - the interactive parts go by I fear for a while - my head I fear for a while - that my head will expand And stretch out in to the stratos wild Can’t you see, those birds in limbo breaks And of course you hear, listen, the straws From above you, and underneath in the glow I can touch them Spiritualized Dogs with bones, they are released One too many to get on |

[The fool:] "Fear not dear kinsmen, cause you Saviour I am. I’ll bring back our glory And wisdom Achieve I’m searching the Old path to bring back the elder" Smug as only the fool can be, mindless Blindly. He marches towards his fate Summoned to the Cromlech by hunger within [Voice from a parallel existance:] "Come inside my friend, your father is waiting. Your search ends here, Wisdom you have gained, the signs you have read." Doomed to walk the smiths dungeons Underworld slavery Through the eyes of the fool nothing can be seen The elder is hiding beyond thoughts Only leaving with glimpses of long lost knowledge I once saw the Cromlech and was kindly invited But I stayed the beast I kissed the ground (I drank the wine) (I took up the runes) I found the home of the elder |

It was here I was born While the stars held their breaths After ages of pseudo-presence I climbed the final steps Up from deep beneath the shores Eieth no longer sleeping gal Thus alive and the stillness Only to be broken by whispers Towards the moon Bloodred from the Unborn Ones cries That will not be silenced or rest Forever more and awaken not To paint in blanks or wither Beauty blinding no more than the whole is less now We see clearly what was not there The prey become predator Slaughtering not raging blindly Through tunnels of sorrow and lust For solitude and peace of mind Says it is time to unmask and face Behind lines - that is Enemy I |

7. | Smirr | 04:26 | Show lyrics |
He sees his world through the crystal state of departure The hooves echo the approach of the third coming On it’s back a goddess with shining black armour The steel that will separate the will from doing Closing in as he falls to his knees, surrounded by Plasma of dying chapters Life succumbs to silence, desire alone to the dying Of inner banes His hands no longer grasping contraction as he laughs Winds play their mourners dirge through heaps of corpses The hooves thundering the arrival of the final coming Carrying forth the seeds of eternal night So that the Shadow may sleep, eternity weeps While we laugh and remain forever She feels the cold floor giving no comfort as she fades The hooves echo the approach of the third coming On it’s back the faceless her Elder Ones saw The agents of microcosmic change shattering the megalith Stories told, divinity unfold She passes on, yet remains in Smirr Cold remains scattered in dead void dreams |

Tit heintið mær Gutta og láa Tór.” Snarliga boð eftir teimum fór. Inn komu garpar og søgdu so: “Hvat vilt tú, Tróndur, tú sendi oss boð?” “Eg havi sent tykkum boðini tey, at tit skulu hjálpa til Sigmunds deyð. Tit hvessið spjót, tit hvessið knív; tað skal galda Sigmunds lív. Hetta mítt ráð man vera gott: Vit skulu herja á hann á nátt.” Teir samlaðu saman sveinar og menn og gingu til strandar allir í senn.

Faces - eyes - noise Floating patterns of no coherency, none needed From behind the chapel of dreams came imagery From another world They left for a brighter star A new home called "now" Womb - death - dawn Follow seafarers on an ocean of silence Remaining humanoid shells, a distant thought The chasm between truth and flesh paved With bricks from secret cities Entering linear orbit Crushing the foundations of divided times Suns reflected Convoys...

10. | Sigmundskvadet | 06:57 | Show lyrics |
Í Føroyum búðu høvdingar tveir, Tróndur og Sigmundur itu teir. Noregs menn! dansið væl í stillum; stilli tykkum allar, riddarar, Noregs menn! dansið væl í stillum. Sigmundur búði Skúvoy á, Tróndur búði við Gøtuvág. So grammur var Tróndur, hann hugsar ilt: Sigmundur hevur vár’ veitslu spilt. Tróndur hann situr í sínari lon: “Tit heintið mær Sjúrða Tollaksson. Tit heintið mær Gutta og láa Tór.” Snarliga boð eftir teimum fór. Inn komu garpar og søgdu so: “Hvat vilt tú, Tróndur, tú sendi oss boð?” “Eg havi sent tykkum boðini tey, at tit skulu hjálpa til Sigmunds deyð. Tit hvessið spjót, tit hvessið knív; tað skal galda Sigmunds lív. Hetta mítt ráð man vera gott: Vit skulu herja á hann á nátt.” Teir samlaðu saman sveinar og menn og gingu til strandar allir í senn. So sigldi Tróndur Skúvoyarfjør, skútan bognaði sum ein gjør. So myrk var náttin, og skútan gegg, so blíðan byrðin Tróndur fekk. Myrk var náttin, og skútan rann, teir hildu beint mót Skúvoy fram. Eingin vardi, teir komu hartil, alt gekk til, sum Tróndur vil. Skramblaðu teir við vápnum hart, so hurðar gingu í smildur snart. Sigmundur vaknar úr svøvni brátt: “Hvør brýtur inn á meg í nátt?” “Hann, sum brýtur tínar dyr, tað er tann maður, tú háaði fyrr. Sigmund helt sítt svørð ímót, fimm fullu høvur á Tróndar fót. Sigmundur høggur av makt og vold, trý fullu høvur á Tróndar skjold. Tróndur hann var til ilsku fús: “Tit setið nú eld á Sigmunds hús!” Sigmundur talar til frænda sín: “Nú má eg rýma av húsi mín’.” Einar úr Suðuroy, hans frændi Tór, eingin annar við Sigmundi fór. Sigmunds hústrú stendur við vegg: “Tú hoyr meg , Tróndur Gøtuskegg. Stríðist tú móti konu og børn, so ert tú grískari enn ein bjørn.” “Tit sløkkið eld, tit stingið inn knív! Eg stríðist bert um Sigmunds lív.” Tróndur vendi borgini frá, beint ímót’ sum Sigmundur lá. Tróndur hevði so fyri orð: “Eg kenni royk av Sigmunds sporð.” Tróndur biður teir hava mót: “Eg kenni royk av Sigmunds fót.” Teir gingu fram um grøna lund, teir dvøldust við gjónna eina stund. Sigmundur sær um gjónna brá: Steingríms høvur á vølli lá. Sigmundur aftur um gjónna sprakk, svørðið úr hans hondum stakk. Sigmundur flýddi á oynna norð, Tróndur hevði tá manndómsorð. Sigmundur kastaði í havið seg, Einar og Tóri sama veg. Tá ið Tróndur hetta sá, aftur at báti skundar hann tá. Aftur at báti skundar hann tá, men ikki kundi hann Sigmundi ná. Svimja teir tríggir við miklari ferð, sum streymur harður á firði er. Tórur aftur um seg sá: “Nú tekur Einar at dragna frá.” Sigmundur gjørdi sær tann ómak: hann legði Einar á sítt bak. Tórur rætti Sigmundi hond: “Nú hevur Einar givið upp ond.” Sigmund slepti Einar’ av, Suðuroyarfjørður varð hans grav. Sigmundur svimur og frændi hans, enn er fjórðingur eftir til lands. Tórur legði seg bylgju ímót. “Nú eri eg givin í hond og fót.” Tú svim til lands, legg einki í meg! Eg eri farin, men redda teg. Svaraði Sigmund’, í sjónum sat: “Ei, mín frændi, skiljast vit at. Vit vóru saman í mangari ferð, ei mín frændi, skiljast vit her.” Sigmundur var í orðum trygg’, hann legði Tóra á sín rygg. Sigmundur svimur av allari makt: “Nú hava vit at landi lagt.” Brimið tað brýtur sum boðaslóð, Tað Tóra niður at botni dró. Sigmundur var ein menskur mann, men ikki bóru beinini hann. Tá hann hevði svomið tann veg so lang, hann legði seg stillan niður í tang. Torgrímur átti Sandvík fyrr, hann sá ein morgun út fyri dyr. Torgrímur hugdi mót tara út: “Eg meini, eg síggi ein reyðan klút.” Tórgrímur talar til dreingir tveir: “Tit vitið, um har er nakað meir.” Inn koma dreringir og siga frá, stórur maðu rí tara lá. Ein stórur maður í tara lá, ongum líkari enn Sigmund’ at sjá. Torgrímur tók sær øks í hond, so fór hann til sjóvarstrond. Torgrímur niður í taran sær, maktarleysur lá Sigmundur har. Torgrímur talar til sveinar sín’: “Gullringur Sigmunds skal vera mín!” “Dreingir, tit haldið mær í hans hár, meðan eg gevi honum banasár. Dreingir, tit haldið (í) hans hár í topp, meðan eg skilji høvur frá kropp’.” Dreingirnir hildu í hans hár, meðan hann gav honum banasár. Dreingirnir hildu (í) hans hár í topp, meðan hann skilti høvur frá topp. Gullringin bóru teir heim til hús, men kroppin gróvu teir í sand og grús. Ein slíkan enda Sigmundur fekk, hans líki ei í Føroyum gekk. |

Inn komu garpar og søgdu so: “Hvat vilt tú, Tróndur, tú sendi oss boð?” “Eg havi sent tykkum boðini tey, at tit skulu hjálpa til Sigmunds deyð. Tit hvessið spjót, tit hvessið knív; tað skal galda Sigmunds lív. Hetta mítt ráð man vera gott: Vit skulu herja á hann á nátt.” Teir samlaðu saman sveinar og menn og gingu til strandar allir í senn. So sigldi Tróndur Skúvoyarfjør, skútan bognaði sum ein gjør. So myrk var náttin, og skútan gegg, so blíðan byrðin Tróndur fekk. Myrk var náttin, og skútan rann, teir hildu beint mót Skúvoy fram. Eingin vardi, teir komu hartil, alt gekk til, sum Tróndur vil. Skramblaðu teir við vápnum hart, so hurðar gingu í smildur snart. Sigmundur vaknar úr svøvni brátt: “Hvør brýtur inn á meg í nátt?” “Hann, sum brýtur tínar dyr, tað er tann maður, tú háaði fyrr. Sigmund helt sítt svørð ímót, fimm fullu høvur á Tróndar fót. Sigmundur høggur av makt og vold, trý fullu høvur á Tróndar skjold. Tróndur hann var til ilsku fús: “Tit setið nú eld á Sigmunds hús!” Sigmundur talar til frænda sín: “Nú má eg rýma av húsi mín’.” Einar úr Suðuroy, hans frændi Tór, eingin annar við Sigmundi fór. Sigmunds hústrú stendur við vegg: “Tú hoyr meg , Tróndur Gøtuskegg. Stríðist tú móti konu og børn, so ert tú grískari enn ein bjørn.” “Tit sløkkið eld, tit stingið inn knív! Eg stríðist bert um Sigmunds lív.” Tróndur vendi borgini frá, beint ímót’ sum Sigmundur lá. Tróndur hevði so fyri orð: “Eg kenni royk av Sigmunds sporð.” Tróndur biður teir hava mót: “Eg kenni royk av Sigmunds fót.” Teir gingu fram um grøna lund, teir dvøldust við gjónna eina stund. Sigmundur sær um gjónna brá: Steingríms høvur á vølli lá. Sigmundur aftur um gjónna sprakk, svørðið úr hans hondum stakk. Sigmundur flýddi á oynna norð, Tróndur hevði tá manndómsorð. Sigmundur kastaði í havið seg, Einar og Tóri sama veg. Tá ið Tróndur hetta sá, aftur at báti skundar hann tá. Aftur at báti skundar hann tá, men ikki kundi hann Sigmundi ná. Svimja teir tríggir við miklari ferð, sum streymur harður á firði er. Tórur aftur um seg sá: “Nú tekur Einar at dragna frá.” Sigmundur gjørdi sær tann ómak: hann legði Einar á sítt bak. Tórur rætti Sigmundi hond: “Nú hevur Einar givið upp ond.” Sigmund slepti Einar’ av, Suðuroyarfjørður varð hans grav. Sigmundur svimur og frændi hans, enn er fjórðingur eftir til lands. Tórur legði seg bylgju ímót. “Nú eri eg givin í hond og fót.” Tú svim til lands, legg einki í meg! Eg eri farin, men redda teg. Svaraði Sigmund’, í sjónum sat: “Ei, mín frændi, skiljast vit at. Vit vóru saman í mangari ferð, ei mín frændi, skiljast vit her.” Sigmundur var í orðum trygg’, hann legði Tóra á sín rygg. Sigmundur svimur av allari makt: “Nú hava vit at landi lagt.” Brimið tað brýtur sum boðaslóð, Tað Tóra niður at botni dró. Sigmundur var ein menskur mann, men ikki bóru beinini hann. Tá hann hevði svomið tann veg so lang, hann legði seg stillan niður í tang. Torgrímur átti Sandvík fyrr, hann sá ein morgun út fyri dyr. Torgrímur hugdi mót tara út: “Eg meini, eg síggi ein reyðan klút.” Tórgrímur talar til dreingir tveir: “Tit vitið, um har er nakað meir.” Inn koma dreringir og siga frá, stórur maðu rí tara lá. Ein stórur maður í tara lá, ongum líkari enn Sigmund’ at sjá. Torgrímur tók sær øks í hond, so fór hann til sjóvarstrond. Torgrímur niður í taran sær, maktarleysur lá Sigmundur har. Torgrímur talar til sveinar sín’: “Gullringur Sigmunds skal vera mín!” “Dreingir, tit haldið mær í hans hár, meðan eg gevi honum banasár. Dreingir, tit haldið (í) hans hár í topp, meðan eg skilji høvur frá kropp’.” Dreingirnir hildu í hans hár, meðan hann gav honum banasár. Dreingirnir hildu (í) hans hár í topp, meðan hann skilti høvur frá topp. Gullringin bóru teir heim til hús, men kroppin gróvu teir í sand og grús.

1. | Convoys to Nothingness | 07:57 | Show lyrics |
Faces - eyes - noise Floating patterns of no coherency, none needed From behind the chapel of dreams came imagery From another world They left for a brighter star A new home called "now" Womb - death - dawn Follow seafarers on an ocean of silence Remaining humanoid shells, a distant thought The chasm between truth and flesh paved With bricks from secret cities Entering linear orbit Crushing the foundations of divided times Suns reflected Convoys... Convoys to... Convoys to nothingness... |

2. | The Voices | 06:07 | Show lyrics |
I hear their poisonous words again As they call out for submission and code "To be less than one and drown equals pride" they say These were the voices that destroyed us Did I want for this loss to be sustained? Through the clipping of wings found the secret paths From the blinding light of lies obtained second sight Stabbed in the back, gained strength in One-ness Taken from me, I learned to preserve These were the voices that sunk our ships These are the voices - poisoned ears bleeding Did I pray for the dead to be kept awake? Did I gently place these thorns through the surface of my eyes? Did I ask for this fathomless tragedy to go on forever? Fail to comply - reborn in war The answer being no Did I? |

3. | Vision: Sphere of the Elements - A Monument Part II | 04:58 | Show lyrics |
Betrayed by disillusion Enslaved by insanity Enslaved by commitment to betrayal Betrayed by all elements My vision is clear and strong I comfort myself to fulfil it There exists no edge Clearly existence is wrong I kill myself to fulfil my vision Consumed by astral interference I deny this monument to be my sphere I choke this ego to find that i’m dead I deny this monument to be my sphere I will die as one |

4. | Hollow Inside | 05:38 | Show lyrics |
Hollow inside - I didn’t sleep too well last night Step over, turn the light Hollow inside - I didn’t dream too much last night Step over, turn the light Knock on the door - these are the interfering themes Open it up, too soon Shorter in time - the interactive parts go by I fear for a while - my head I fear for a while - that my head will expand And stretch out in to the stratos wild Can’t you see, those birds in limbo breaks And of course you hear, listen, the straws From above you, and underneath in the glow I can touch them Spiritualized Dogs with bones, they are released One too many to get on |

5. | The Cromlech Gate | 06:55 | Show lyrics |
[The fool:] "Fear not dear kinsmen, cause you Saviour I am. I’ll bring back our glory And wisdom Achieve I’m searching the Old path to bring back the elder" Smug as only the fool can be, mindless Blindly. He marches towards his fate Summoned to the Cromlech by hunger within [Voice from a parallel existance:] "Come inside my friend, your father is waiting. Your search ends here, Wisdom you have gained, the signs you have read." Doomed to walk the smiths dungeons Underworld slavery Through the eyes of the fool nothing can be seen The elder is hiding beyond thoughts Only leaving with glimpses of long lost knowledge I once saw the Cromlech and was kindly invited But I stayed the beast I kissed the ground (I drank the wine) (I took up the runes) I found the home of the elder |

1. | Enemy I | 05:16 | Show lyrics |
It was here I was born While the stars held their breaths After ages of pseudo-presence I climbed the final steps Up from deep beneath the shores Eieth no longer sleeping gal Thus alive and the stillness Only to be broken by whispers Towards the moon Bloodred from the Unborn Ones cries That will not be silenced or rest Forever more and awaken not To paint in blanks or wither Beauty blinding no more than the whole is less now We see clearly what was not there The prey become predator Slaughtering not raging blindly Through tunnels of sorrow and lust For solitude and peace of mind Says it is time to unmask and face Behind lines - that is Enemy I |

2. | Smirr | 04:26 | Show lyrics |
He sees his world through the crystal state of departure The hooves echo the approach of the third coming On it’s back a goddess with shining black armour The steel that will separate the will from doing Closing in as he falls to his knees, surrounded by Plasma of dying chapters Life succumbs to silence, desire alone to the dying Of inner banes His hands no longer grasping contraction as he laughs Winds play their mourners dirge through heaps of corpses The hooves thundering the arrival of the final coming Carrying forth the seeds of eternal night So that the Shadow may sleep, eternity weeps While we laugh and remain forever She feels the cold floor giving no comfort as she fades The hooves echo the approach of the third coming On it’s back the faceless her Elder Ones saw The agents of microcosmic change shattering the megalith Stories told, divinity unfold She passes on, yet remains in Smirr Cold remains scattered in dead void dreams |

Disc 1 | |||
Side A | |||
1. | Convoys to Nothingness | 07:57 | Show lyrics |
Faces - eyes - noise Floating patterns of no coherency, none needed From behind the chapel of dreams came imagery From another world They left for a brighter star A new home called "now" Womb - death - dawn Follow seafarers on an ocean of silence Remaining humanoid shells, a distant thought The chasm between truth and flesh paved With bricks from secret cities Entering linear orbit Crushing the foundations of divided times Suns reflected Convoys... Convoys to... Convoys to nothingness... |
|||
2. | The Voices | 06:07 | Show lyrics |
I hear their poisonous words again As they call out for submission and code "To be less than one and drown equals pride" they say These were the voices that destroyed us Did I want for this loss to be sustained? Through the clipping of wings found the secret paths From the blinding light of lies obtained second sight Stabbed in the back, gained strength in One-ness Taken from me, I learned to preserve These were the voices that sunk our ships These are the voices - poisoned ears bleeding Did I pray for the dead to be kept awake? Did I gently place these thorns through the surface of my eyes? Did I ask for this fathomless tragedy to go on forever? Fail to comply - reborn in war The answer being no Did I? |

Side B | |||
3. | Vision: Sphere of the Elements - A Monument Part II | 04:58 | Show lyrics |
Betrayed by disillusion Enslaved by insanity Enslaved by commitment to betrayal Betrayed by all elements My vision is clear and strong I comfort myself to fulfil it There exists no edge Clearly existence is wrong I kill myself to fulfil my vision Consumed by astral interference I deny this monument to be my sphere I choke this ego to find that i’m dead I deny this monument to be my sphere I will die as one |
|||
4. | Hollow Inside | 05:38 | Show lyrics |
Hollow inside - I didn’t sleep too well last night Step over, turn the light Hollow inside - I didn’t dream too much last night Step over, turn the light Knock on the door - these are the interfering themes Open it up, too soon Shorter in time - the interactive parts go by I fear for a while - my head I fear for a while - that my head will expand And stretch out in to the stratos wild Can’t you see, those birds in limbo breaks And of course you hear, listen, the straws From above you, and underneath in the glow I can touch them Spiritualized Dogs with bones, they are released One too many to get on |
|||
5. | The Cromlech Gate | 06:55 | Show lyrics |
[The fool:] "Fear not dear kinsmen, cause you Saviour I am. I’ll bring back our glory And wisdom Achieve I’m searching the Old path to bring back the elder" Smug as only the fool can be, mindless Blindly. He marches towards his fate Summoned to the Cromlech by hunger within [Voice from a parallel existance:] "Come inside my friend, your father is waiting. Your search ends here, Wisdom you have gained, the signs you have read." Doomed to walk the smiths dungeons Underworld slavery Through the eyes of the fool nothing can be seen The elder is hiding beyond thoughts Only leaving with glimpses of long lost knowledge I once saw the Cromlech and was kindly invited But I stayed the beast I kissed the ground (I drank the wine) (I took up the runes) I found the home of the elder |

Disc 2 | |||
Side A | |||
1. | Enemy I | 05:16 | Show lyrics |
It was here I was born While the stars held their breaths After ages of pseudo-presence I climbed the final steps Up from deep beneath the shores Eieth no longer sleeping gal Thus alive and the stillness Only to be broken by whispers Towards the moon Bloodred from the Unborn Ones cries That will not be silenced or rest Forever more and awaken not To paint in blanks or wither Beauty blinding no more than the whole is less now We see clearly what was not there The prey become predator Slaughtering not raging blindly Through tunnels of sorrow and lust For solitude and peace of mind Says it is time to unmask and face Behind lines - that is Enemy I |
|||
2. | Smirr | 04:26 | Show lyrics |
He sees his world through the crystal state of departure The hooves echo the approach of the third coming On it’s back a goddess with shining black armour The steel that will separate the will from doing Closing in as he falls to his knees, surrounded by Plasma of dying chapters Life succumbs to silence, desire alone to the dying Of inner banes His hands no longer grasping contraction as he laughs Winds play their mourners dirge through heaps of corpses The hooves thundering the arrival of the final coming Carrying forth the seeds of eternal night So that the Shadow may sleep, eternity weeps While we laugh and remain forever She feels the cold floor giving no comfort as she fades The hooves echo the approach of the third coming On it’s back the faceless her Elder Ones saw The agents of microcosmic change shattering the megalith Stories told, divinity unfold She passes on, yet remains in Smirr Cold remains scattered in dead void dreams |
|||
3. | The Sleep: Floating Diversity - A Monument Part III | 08:12 | Show lyrics |
The battle’s now past The war of all was within itself Painfully sleeping All hail the fallen The time is now for the king to tell The battle’s now past All hail the fallen Pleading diversity equals no scream Thickening intensity now fatal Beyond portrayed dream |

5. | Sigmundskvadet | 06:57 | Show lyrics |
Í Føroyum búðu høvdingar tveir, Tróndur og Sigmundur itu teir. Noregs menn! dansið væl í stillum; stilli tykkum allar, riddarar, Noregs menn! dansið væl í stillum. Sigmundur búði Skúvoy á, Tróndur búði við Gøtuvág. So grammur var Tróndur, hann hugsar ilt: Sigmundur hevur vár’ veitslu spilt. Tróndur hann situr í sínari lon: “Tit heintið mær Sjúrða Tollaksson. Tit heintið mær Gutta og láa Tór.” Snarliga boð eftir teimum fór. Inn komu garpar og søgdu so: “Hvat vilt tú, Tróndur, tú sendi oss boð?” “Eg havi sent tykkum boðini tey, at tit skulu hjálpa til Sigmunds deyð. Tit hvessið spjót, tit hvessið knív; tað skal galda Sigmunds lív. Hetta mítt ráð man vera gott: Vit skulu herja á hann á nátt.” Teir samlaðu saman sveinar og menn og gingu til strandar allir í senn. So sigldi Tróndur Skúvoyarfjør, skútan bognaði sum ein gjør. So myrk var náttin, og skútan gegg, so blíðan byrðin Tróndur fekk. Myrk var náttin, og skútan rann, teir hildu beint mót Skúvoy fram. Eingin vardi, teir komu hartil, alt gekk til, sum Tróndur vil. Skramblaðu teir við vápnum hart, so hurðar gingu í smildur snart. Sigmundur vaknar úr svøvni brátt: “Hvør brýtur inn á meg í nátt?” “Hann, sum brýtur tínar dyr, tað er tann maður, tú háaði fyrr. Sigmund helt sítt svørð ímót, fimm fullu høvur á Tróndar fót. Sigmundur høggur av makt og vold, trý fullu høvur á Tróndar skjold. Tróndur hann var til ilsku fús: “Tit setið nú eld á Sigmunds hús!” Sigmundur talar til frænda sín: “Nú má eg rýma av húsi mín’.” Einar úr Suðuroy, hans frændi Tór, eingin annar við Sigmundi fór. Sigmunds hústrú stendur við vegg: “Tú hoyr meg , Tróndur Gøtuskegg. Stríðist tú móti konu og børn, so ert tú grískari enn ein bjørn.” “Tit sløkkið eld, tit stingið inn knív! Eg stríðist bert um Sigmunds lív.” Tróndur vendi borgini frá, beint ímót’ sum Sigmundur lá. Tróndur hevði so fyri orð: “Eg kenni royk av Sigmunds sporð.” Tróndur biður teir hava mót: “Eg kenni royk av Sigmunds fót.” Teir gingu fram um grøna lund, teir dvøldust við gjónna eina stund. Sigmundur sær um gjónna brá: Steingríms høvur á vølli lá. Sigmundur aftur um gjónna sprakk, svørðið úr hans hondum stakk. Sigmundur flýddi á oynna norð, Tróndur hevði tá manndómsorð. Sigmundur kastaði í havið seg, Einar og Tóri sama veg. Tá ið Tróndur hetta sá, aftur at báti skundar hann tá. Aftur at báti skundar hann tá, men ikki kundi hann Sigmundi ná. Svimja teir tríggir við miklari ferð, sum streymur harður á firði er. Tórur aftur um seg sá: “Nú tekur Einar at dragna frá.” Sigmundur gjørdi sær tann ómak: hann legði Einar á sítt bak. Tórur rætti Sigmundi hond: “Nú hevur Einar givið upp ond.” Sigmund slepti Einar’ av, Suðuroyarfjørður varð hans grav. Sigmundur svimur og frændi hans, enn er fjórðingur eftir til lands. Tórur legði seg bylgju ímót. “Nú eri eg givin í hond og fót.” Tú svim til lands, legg einki í meg! Eg eri farin, men redda teg. Svaraði Sigmund’, í sjónum sat: “Ei, mín frændi, skiljast vit at. Vit vóru saman í mangari ferð, ei mín frændi, skiljast vit her.” Sigmundur var í orðum trygg’, hann legði Tóra á sín rygg. Sigmundur svimur av allari makt: “Nú hava vit at landi lagt.” Brimið tað brýtur sum boðaslóð, Tað Tóra niður at botni dró. Sigmundur var ein menskur mann, men ikki bóru beinini hann. Tá hann hevði svomið tann veg so lang, hann legði seg stillan niður í tang. Torgrímur átti Sandvík fyrr, hann sá ein morgun út fyri dyr. Torgrímur hugdi mót tara út: “Eg meini, eg síggi ein reyðan klút.” Tórgrímur talar til dreingir tveir: “Tit vitið, um har er nakað meir.” Inn koma dreringir og siga frá, stórur maðu rí tara lá. Ein stórur maður í tara lá, ongum líkari enn Sigmund’ at sjá. Torgrímur tók sær øks í hond, so fór hann til sjóvarstrond. Torgrímur niður í taran sær, maktarleysur lá Sigmundur har. Torgrímur talar til sveinar sín’: “Gullringur Sigmunds skal vera mín!” “Dreingir, tit haldið mær í hans hár, meðan eg gevi honum banasár. Dreingir, tit haldið (í) hans hár í topp, meðan eg skilji høvur frá kropp’.” Dreingirnir hildu í hans hár, meðan hann gav honum banasár. Dreingirnir hildu (í) hans hár í topp, meðan hann skilti høvur frá topp. Gullringin bóru teir heim til hús, men kroppin gróvu teir í sand og grús. Ein slíkan enda Sigmundur fekk, hans líki ei í Føroyum gekk. |

1. | As Fire Swept Clean the Earth | 06:35 | Show lyrics |
I close my eyes As Fire Swept Clean the Earth Nothing left to strangle As the cords were torn from our hearts "Tired I blew out my last warning, the claws were ripping me apart" As we emerged From darker dungeons Splendor of yellow hells Expanded swollen eyes No words were said As Fire Swept Clean the Earth Would the mothers be crying? If they saw torches in our hands? "The wind, once able to conquer, captured As Fire Swept Clean the Earth" A kiss was placed Upon my cheek And all color came back Melting in solid blue tune |

2. | The Dead Stare | 05:37 | Show lyrics |
The Juggler stares To quench the thirst Upon the brow Within the hand It cracks and seeps The seer weeps In flickering light The wounds are served Screams from below A shadow in chains Feverish images told In mirrors of old The eyes they all share In this tragic court An empty seat The river runs dry Nothing said Words in red Behold the druid As the stones fall Known aloud turned Backwards around Reverse the loss This never was |

3. | The Crossing | 09:11 | Show lyrics |
I no longer struggle No longer see Nothing remains, burning anxiety Darkness came forth Gave birth to me Certain death is all I see I see you weep I see you suffer I’ve seen kingdoms rise and fall I’ve seen all that’s supposed to be Earthbound forces, united with sorrow The path was given in ancient times Embraced by hunger, forgotten by will The wisdom is hold up still Break the chains, come forth to see Cross the abyss not meant to be Cross the river, find the key Kill the queen of anxiety |

4. | Queen of Night | 05:59 | Show lyrics |
Across the scorched fields of fathers land In each step an abyss is built Through misty dreams he touched her hand The boar is dead Its blood is spilt He set his foot on the slopes of far away They’d been asleep when his sun roared He walked through night, walked through day Landless mourning lord "Why should we let you by?" The road is blocked by men of three "If you need ask, you already know" They said to let him pass, to leave him be At the shores of sorrow How far he’d come (to see her eyes) (After) Moons and more moons He’d be there tomorrow "And I would travel across the water To where she lies” On the sea of solitude he rows The winds howl her name, he has no fears Tired and smiling he falls, downwards he goes There she is, waiting after all these years |

5. | Havenless | 05:35 | Show lyrics |
"Dei for ifra nord Mot ei anna tid Bak låg brende ord Framfor dei ei ny strid Dei såg såg stormar i det fjerne Men haldt fram og beint Inn mot jordas kjerne Frå tidleg mot seint" I see a darkness overwhelming I see that there is no light for me I don’t care if it leaves me blind I don’t care if I’m left behind I see a white horse’s head I see it’s dead stare fixed at me I do not fear its eyes Curse myself, return it twice I see walls to high to climb I see nothing on the other side I should have roamed another space I should have been another place *"Dei daue gror opp av havet og ropar så sårt mot land. Dei ropar bak alle skuter, som kavar seg tungt forbi" * I am among ghosts when I should rest I cannot tell the worlds apart I do not heed the words they say There is no dream of another day I hear a silence, deafening Drowning the deserts, that is my destiny I no longer wish to see The threads they’ve spun for me. "Dei for ifra nord Mot ei anna tid Bak låg brende ord Framfor dei ei ny strid Dei såg såg stormar i det fjerne Men haldt fram og beint Inn mot jordas kjerne Frå tidleg mot seint" |

7. | A Darker Place | 07:01 | Show lyrics |
Behind the walls Below the lights If you came upon a door If you came to push it open If your eyes could see within this dark Your heart would flee Nails and blood Painted by delirium You would feel the empty stare From a darker place Silent screams From ages in the void Desperation The voices fill your ears Head back into the light Never to return This dream will haunt you From a darker place Behind the walls Below the lights |

1. | As Fire Swept Clean the Earth | 06:35 | Show lyrics |
I close my eyes As Fire Swept Clean the Earth Nothing left to strangle As the cords were torn from our hearts "Tired I blew out my last warning, the claws were ripping me apart" As we emerged From darker dungeons Splendor of yellow hells Expanded swollen eyes No words were said As Fire Swept Clean the Earth Would the mothers be crying? If they saw torches in our hands? "The wind, once able to conquer, captured As Fire Swept Clean the Earth" A kiss was placed Upon my cheek And all color came back Melting in solid blue tune |

2. | The Dead Stare | 05:37 | Show lyrics |
The Juggler stares To quench the thirst Upon the brow Within the hand It cracks and seeps The seer weeps In flickering light The wounds are served Screams from below A shadow in chains Feverish images told In mirrors of old The eyes they all share In this tragic court An empty seat The river runs dry Nothing said Words in red Behold the druid As the stones fall Known aloud turned Backwards around Reverse the loss This never was |

3. | The Crossing | 09:11 | Show lyrics |
I no longer struggle No longer see Nothing remains, burning anxiety Darkness came forth Gave birth to me Certain death is all I see I see you weep I see you suffer I’ve seen kingdoms rise and fall I’ve seen all that’s supposed to be Earthbound forces, united with sorrow The path was given in ancient times Embraced by hunger, forgotten by will The wisdom is hold up still Break the chains, come forth to see Cross the abyss not meant to be Cross the river, find the key Kill the queen of anxiety |
|||
4. | Queen of Night | 05:59 | Show lyrics |
Across the scorched fields of fathers land In each step an abyss is built Through misty dreams he touched her hand The boar is dead Its blood is spilt He set his foot on the slopes of far away They’d been asleep when his sun roared He walked through night, walked through day Landless mourning lord "Why should we let you by?" The road is blocked by men of three "If you need ask, you already know" They said to let him pass, to leave him be At the shores of sorrow How far he’d come (to see her eyes) (After) Moons and more moons He’d be there tomorrow "And I would travel across the water To where she lies” On the sea of solitude he rows The winds howl her name, he has no fears Tired and smiling he falls, downwards he goes There she is, waiting after all these years |

5. | Havenless | 05:35 | Show lyrics |
"Dei for ifra nord Mot ei anna tid Bak låg brende ord Framfor dei ei ny strid Dei såg såg stormar i det fjerne Men haldt fram og beint Inn mot jordas kjerne Frå tidleg mot seint" I see a darkness overwhelming I see that there is no light for me I don’t care if it leaves me blind I don’t care if I’m left behind I see a white horse’s head I see it’s dead stare fixed at me I do not fear its eyes Curse myself, return it twice I see walls to high to climb I see nothing on the other side I should have roamed another space I should have been another place *"Dei daue gror opp av havet og ropar så sårt mot land. Dei ropar bak alle skuter, som kavar seg tungt forbi" * I am among ghosts when I should rest I cannot tell the worlds apart I do not heed the words they say There is no dream of another day I hear a silence, deafening Drowning the deserts, that is my destiny I no longer wish to see The threads they’ve spun for me. "Dei for ifra nord Mot ei anna tid Bak låg brende ord Framfor dei ei ny strid Dei såg såg stormar i det fjerne Men haldt fram og beint Inn mot jordas kjerne Frå tidleg mot seint" |

7. | A Darker Place | 07:01 | Show lyrics |
Behind the walls Below the lights If you came upon a door If you came to push it open If your eyes could see within this dark Your heart would flee Nails and blood Painted by delirium You would feel the empty stare From a darker place Silent screams From ages in the void Desperation The voices fill your ears Head back into the light Never to return This dream will haunt you From a darker place Behind the walls Below the lights |

I close my eyes As Fire Swept Clean the Earth Nothing left to strangle As the cords were torn from our hearts "Tired I blew out my last warning, the claws were ripping me apart" As we emerged From darker dungeons Splendor of yellow hells Expanded swollen eyes No words were said As Fire Swept Clean the Earth Would the mothers be crying? If they saw torches in our hands? "The wind, once able to conquer, captured As Fire Swept Clean the Earth" A kiss was placed Upon my cheek And all color came back Melting in solid blue tune |

3. | The Crossing | 09:11 | Show lyrics |
I no longer struggle No longer see Nothing remains, burning anxiety Darkness came forth Gave birth to me Certain death is all I see I see you weep I see you suffer I’ve seen kingdoms rise and fall I’ve seen all that’s supposed to be Earthbound forces, united with sorrow The path was given in ancient times Embraced by hunger, forgotten by will The wisdom is hold up still Break the chains, come forth to see Cross the abyss not meant to be Cross the river, find the key Kill the queen of anxiety |

4. | Queen of Night | 05:59 | Show lyrics |
Across the scorched fields of fathers land In each step an abyss is built Through misty dreams he touched her hand The boar is dead Its blood is spilt He set his foot on the slopes of far away They’d been asleep when his sun roared He walked through night, walked through day Landless mourning lord "Why should we let you by?" The road is blocked by men of three "If you need ask, you already know" They said to let him pass, to leave him be At the shores of sorrow How far he’d come (to see her eyes) (After) Moons and more moons He’d be there tomorrow "And I would travel across the water To where she lies” On the sea of solitude he rows The winds howl her name, he has no fears Tired and smiling he falls, downwards he goes There she is, waiting after all these years |

The Juggler stares To quench the thirst Upon the brow Within the hand It cracks and seeps The seer weeps In flickering light The wounds are served Screams from below A shadow in chains Feverish images told In mirrors of old The eyes they all share In this tragic court An empty seat The river runs dry Nothing said Words in red Behold the druid As the stones fall Known aloud turned Backwards around Reverse the loss This never was |

3. | The Crossing | 09:11 | Show lyrics |
I no longer struggle No longer see Nothing remains, burning anxiety Darkness came forth Gave birth to me Certain death is all I see I see you weep I see you suffer I’ve seen kingdoms rise and fall I’ve seen all that’s supposed to be Earthbound forces, united with sorrow The path was given in ancient times Embraced by hunger, forgotten by will The wisdom is hold up still Break the chains, come forth to see Cross the abyss not meant to be Cross the river, find the key Kill the queen of anxiety |

4. | Queen of Night | 05:59 | Show lyrics |
Across the scorched fields of fathers land In each step an abyss is built Through misty dreams he touched her hand The boar is dead Its blood is spilt He set his foot on the slopes of far away They’d been asleep when his sun roared He walked through night, walked through day Landless mourning lord "Why should we let you by?" The road is blocked by men of three "If you need ask, you already know" They said to let him pass, to leave him be At the shores of sorrow How far he’d come (to see her eyes) (After) Moons and more moons He’d be there tomorrow "And I would travel across the water To where she lies” On the sea of solitude he rows The winds howl her name, he has no fears Tired and smiling he falls, downwards he goes There she is, waiting after all these years |

5. | Havenless | 05:35 | Show lyrics |
"Dei for ifra nord Mot ei anna tid Bak låg brende ord Framfor dei ei ny strid Dei såg såg stormar i det fjerne Men haldt fram og beint Inn mot jordas kjerne Frå tidleg mot seint" I see a darkness overwhelming I see that there is no light for me I don’t care if it leaves me blind I don’t care if I’m left behind I see a white horse’s head I see it’s dead stare fixed at me I do not fear its eyes Curse myself, return it twice I see walls to high to climb I see nothing on the other side I should have roamed another space I should have been another place *"Dei daue gror opp av havet og ropar så sårt mot land. Dei ropar bak alle skuter, som kavar seg tungt forbi" * I am among ghosts when I should rest I cannot tell the worlds apart I do not heed the words they say There is no dream of another day I hear a silence, deafening Drowning the deserts, that is my destiny I no longer wish to see The threads they’ve spun for me. "Dei for ifra nord Mot ei anna tid Bak låg brende ord Framfor dei ei ny strid Dei såg såg stormar i det fjerne Men haldt fram og beint Inn mot jordas kjerne Frå tidleg mot seint" |

Behind the walls Below the lights If you came upon a door If you came to push it open If your eyes could see within this dark Your heart would flee Nails and blood Painted by delirium You would feel the empty stare From a darker place Silent screams From ages in the void Desperation The voices fill your ears Head back into the light Never to return This dream will haunt you From a darker place Behind the walls Below the lights |

I hear their poisonous words again As they call out for submission and code "To be less than one and drown equals pride" they say These were the voices that destroyed us Did I want for this loss to be sustained? Through the clipping of wings found the secret paths From the blinding light of lies obtained second sight Stabbed in the back, gained strength in One-ness Taken from me, I learned to preserve These were the voices that sunk our ships These are the voices - poisoned ears bleeding Did I pray for the dead to be kept awake? Did I gently place these thorns through the surface of my eyes? Did I ask for this fathomless tragedy to go on forever? Fail to comply - reborn in war The answer being no Did I? |

4. | As Fire Swept Clean the Earth | 06:41 | Show lyrics |
I close my eyes As Fire Swept Clean the Earth Nothing left to strangle As the cords were torn from our hearts "Tired I blew out my last warning, the claws were ripping me apart" As we emerged From darker dungeons Splendor of yellow hells Expanded swollen eyes No words were said As Fire Swept Clean the Earth Would the mothers be crying? If they saw torches in our hands? "The wind, once able to conquer, captured As Fire Swept Clean the Earth" A kiss was placed Upon my cheek And all color came back Melting in solid blue tune |

5. | Heimdallr | 05:12 | Show lyrics |
Heimdall is the name of an Old Norse God; he is called the Old White Norse God; he is great and holy; his teeth are made of gold; his horse is named Goldtop. He lives where it’s called the mountain in the sky besides Bifrost. He needs less sleep than a bird; he sees night as clear as day one thousand miles away from where he is; he also hear the grass grow from the soil, or the wool on the sheep and everything that can be heard. He possess the horn that is called the Gjallarhorn, and they can hear him blowing the horn in all the homes. |

6. | Loke | 03:51 | Show lyrics |
Laughter echoes through the night The evening star shines over Midgard Evil mingles in the dark The organised cosmos’ enemy comes forth Loke, the son of Fårbaute... father of lies Born of earth, unbound by laws Takk weeps no heavy tears For the loss of the sun’s handsome son But the mare in the woods submits For the regaining of Foster brother’s favour Loke, the son of Fårbaute... father of lies Born of earth, unbound by laws The salmon glides in the waterfall The eagle sails with the wind Hammer groans in Jotun scull The under ground spurts fire Laughter, deceit, beauty and contempt The old norse god’s protector and leader of Jotuns |

7. | Queen of Night | 05:46 | Show lyrics |
Across the scorched fields of fathers land In each step an abyss is built Through misty dreams he touched her hand The boar is dead Its blood is spilt He set his foot on the slopes of far away They’d been asleep when his sun roared He walked through night, walked through day Landless mourning lord "Why should we let you by?" The road is blocked by men of three "If you need ask, you already know" They said to let him pass, to leave him be At the shores of sorrow How far he’d come (to see her eyes) (After) Moons and more moons He’d be there tomorrow "And I would travel across the water To where she lies" On the sea of solitude he rows The winds howl her name, he has no fears Tired and smiling he falls, downwards he goes There she is, waiting after all these years |

9. | Ridicule Swarm | 04:57 | Show lyrics |
Pallid it hangs In awe of amusement Litany swarm Bleak I say are the crutches of the assembly And flies cling to it More so ever the fingers to animate Insubordinate, fickle exequies Putrid core Naudr... the ligature it can’t break Lagu... the whispers it can’t hear Insubordinate, fickle exequies Putrid core "Er du halt kan du ri Handlaus gjeta Er du dauv kan du duga i strid Blind er betre enn brend å vera Daud mun ein lite duga" Slain, and thoughts pour from the gutted mind. "Ver kappi mot kristni Ver kappi mot kross Ver kappi mot Hvitrkristr VER VANN VER VANN VER VANN" "Er du halt kan du ri Handlaus gjeta Er du dauv kan du duga i strid Blind er betre enn brend å vera Daud mun ein lite duga" NAUDR... |

10. | Wotan | 03:37 | Show lyrics |
Naked, waste landscape Vast plains lead to the seashore in the west A northern wind sweeps over dead bodies A stranger has entered the domains of the vikings Die not lying sick, dastardly coward Draw sword, fight with the war gods Wotan! We shall fight until we see Ritrost We shell fight until Heimdal flows the Gjallarhorm We shall fight for our domains We shall fight with the war gods Wotan! Die not lying sick, dastardly coward Draw sword, fight with the war gods Wotan! |

11. | Retribution for the Dead (Autopsy cover) | 04:47 | Show lyrics |
Obsessed with revenge Digging up the putrid curse Retribution for one stricken down Now the morbid winds will call See the victim dying in fear Bloody corpse drained of life You called upon this brutal slaughter Now pay the suicidal price Memories arrive from years ago A man ripped in half By the hand of the dead Now the curse is you Retribution for the dead Soon you’ll rise to kill again |

12. | Slaget i skogen bortenfor | 07:53 | Show lyrics |
Strokes from oars could be heard, beautiful ships gushed through the sea Like a wind from the north, our ancestors reached the shore Men from Hordaland, Rogaland and Adger gathered for battle in common Proud men with no fear Strokes from the sword crushed the skull of the christian A long time we ruled, kings of the north Many battles we won, at the shores of Midgard But, betrayed by our own brothers we were forced down on our knees Now when the wind once again is howling the thoughts finally goes towards home We shall rise in our glory The white horde will for sure shiver "We died like men Therefore we never vanished Weak is the one the enemy loves Never betray your origin" |

4. | Ascension | 06:45 | Show lyrics |
Staring across the void, seeing eye to eye in folded space I see you with the colours and frenzy of the sacred rooms We’ve met in those dreams, ice blue water ran towards the green sky The gods spoke to us in their infancy Suns waiting for us to smitten them with the flames of our disease And we did so laughing, giving birth to sunrises in our wake Never in need of sleep, nor in need of truth I would never have stayed in this darkness, and we could ascend The taste of ash, no stars above-No green grass below The last words set ablaze as we saw the inner imagery How it all came alive when we no longer reached for it How it all rose and overwhelmed the speechless (us) In this house without words we came to be one In these books without text we found the way A path along a faded memory, without the fear of finding home We would never have stayed We would never have stayed We would never have stayed in this darkness We would never have stayed We would ascend |

A new sound heard throughout the land From which the spirits had left ages ago Sacrifice and honour replaced by betrayal and usurpers A trail of sweat and blood, a gathering to the pagan outer worlds For ages we have wandered Under the wings of deception Too long have we been waiting For the long winter to end An uprising by those that claim the Supremacy of One Against the misleaders of the blind, deceivers of the Masses Man can no longer claim ignorance as reason for waiting It is all for the taking, the world for their making We will gather again Under the leaves We will gather again In honour of the nine nights For ages we have wandered Under the wings of deception Too long have we been waiting For the long winter to end We will gather again To praise the courage We will gather again To watch the harvest |

Navigation by the fires of dead worlds Towards the shores of Neogenesis Navigation by the fires of dead worlds Towards the shores of Neogenesis Distant self now cut through, approaching infinitely Racing hearts throbbing deep beneath the painted bones Mars opens the hidden doors to Venus Lunar flight crashing into solar storms Blinding unification - vertigo - ecstatic curtain fall Set ablaze by inner arson, endlessly reborn Winds, oh the winds that speak of your salt and blood Break open the dam, flood the deserts Shocking white pulsar radiant dreams drawn in night sky Ice-glazed branches undead by rays from an impossible sun Crystallized pathways towards runic chambers concealed within the microcosmos Revert away from the predicament, flee across the abyss Severing the fetal cords spawning fusions by the thousands Through bent space created black channel - pagan relay Sensations of flesh flickering Praising death through bleeding eyes Neogenesis |

2. | Lunar Force | 07:03 | Show lyrics |
Farewell my brother Farewell my foe May death embrace you Your blood in the darkness flow You were never meant to rule Never to light up my father’s throne May you suffer deep below You tried to deprive (me of) my rightful crown Fallen, defeated, tricked by Beore The Lunar Force Behold the sorcerer when you’re Impaled by the sword Farewell my brother Farewell my friend May she have pity with you We did not wish for your life to end The day will be bleak when The Old One arrives The ring betrayed by his treacherous mind Defeated by Beore, the Lunar Force |

Been standing here for ages Watching the valleys blossom and burn The pyres of yesterday smells of losing you Preserved we are, portraits (in the glass depths) I picked up the shattered mirror, put them in water Cold as my dreams Isa: Still - Standing - Empowered Isa: Watching you die, with tears of ice Isa: Detached - Silent - Ecstasy Isa: We are the dead We arrived here from different spaces Bidding the wooden shrines farewell Concealed within dead lips lies the rope That forged us then tore us to shreds Distant opposite assembly at the shores They’re telling me it’s time to let go A time to burn, a time to build With your own hands a room within that room Bring it all towards that centre and tremble Bring her back from the shadows and kiss her Retrieve the sword from the abyss Hold back the tidal wave Isa: Still - Standing - Empowered Isa: Watching you die, with tears of ice Isa: Detached - Silent - Ecstasy Isa: We are the dead |

4. | Ascension | 06:45 | Show lyrics |
Staring across the void, seeing eye to eye in folded space I see you with the colours and frenzy of the sacred rooms We’ve met in those dreams, ice blue water ran towards the green sky The gods spoke to us in their infancy Suns waiting for us to smitten them with the flames of our disease And we did so laughing, giving birth to sunrises in our wake Never in need of sleep, nor in need of truth I would never have stayed in this darkness, and we could ascend The taste of ash, no stars above-No green grass below The last words set ablaze as we saw the inner imagery How it all came alive when we no longer reached for it How it all rose and overwhelmed the speechless (us) In this house without words we came to be one In these books without text we found the way A path along a faded memory, without the fear of finding home We would never have stayed We would never have stayed We would never have stayed in this darkness We would never have stayed We would ascend |

5. | Bounded by Allegiance | 06:38 | Show lyrics |
Brought here by sorrow Raised in depths of fear Consuming sanity Feasting on the joy of May Surrounding the trembling mind Surrounding the troubled soul Strength failed to tame the serpent The offspring of laughter and sadness Saved by the power of its kin Obeying the whispering chaos Pulsating underneath your skin Fasting ’till the end of time Denying all peace within Fearing the freedom it never feels Bounded by allegiance To long gone sanity It lurks deep below Emerge at the last step |

6. | Violet Dawning | 03:49 | Show lyrics |
I am a part of the darkness Used to watch from afar Sensing the violence of morning And breathing. And waiting for nothing Devouring the spirit, grinding the heart There are good things in the burning fields There’s peace in the slaughtered flesh There’s life in the frozen seeds I’ll dream in the deserts And comfort the thirst for seeing The violet dawn in the distance Beckons me to steal its light I’ll wait for you here I’ll wait for you here I’ll wait for you here I’ll wait for you here |

7. | Return to Yggdrasill | 05:39 | Show lyrics |
A new sound heard throughout the land From which the spirits had left ages ago Sacrifice and honour replaced by betrayal and usurpers A trail of sweat and blood, a gathering to the pagan outer worlds For ages we have wandered Under the wings of deception Too long have we been waiting For the long winter to end An uprising by those that claim the Supremacy of One Against the misleaders of the blind, deceivers of the Masses Man can no longer claim ignorance as reason for waiting It is all for the taking, the world for their making We will gather again Under the leaves We will gather again In honour of the nine nights For ages we have wandered Under the wings of deception Too long have we been waiting For the long winter to end We will gather again To praise the courage We will gather again To watch the harvest |

3. | The Voices | 05:59 | Show lyrics |
I hear their poisonous words again As they call out for submission and code "To be less than one and drown equals pride" they say These were the voices that destroyed us Did I want for this loss to be sustained? Through the clipping of wings found the secret paths From the blinding light of lies obtained second sight Stabbed in the back, gained strength in One-ness Taken from me, I learned to preserve These were the voices that sunk our ships These are the voices - poisoned ears bleeding Did I pray for the dead to be kept awake? Did I gently place these thorns through the surface of my eyes? Did I ask for this fathomless tragedy to go on forever? Fail to comply - reborn in war The answer being no Did I? |

Bottomless abyss, ginnungagap Darkness without end before the morning of time The cold empire’s eleven rivers frozen Frost mist spreads itself wide out The gust from Nivlhel in the north fills the mighty gap Licking tongues of fire from the south Boiling, bubbling venom All life has it’s origin in a source of Jotunblood Your mind’s own evil inner: Jotunblood Screams from Hvergelmes source United with nauseating drops of venom The first, the father of all families Created by the two elements With himself he breeded Our proud ancestors Our primitive force’s deep roots With energy from the cattle’s four rivers A knife through the dark A shrill scream A pale face foams He wanders proudly over Ymer’s bones All life has it’s origin in a source of Jotunblood Your mind’s own evil inner: Jotunblood If one seeks all Midgard’s knowledge If the wise woman swings her staff One can not avoid one’s origin The chaos of the primitive force: Jotunblood |

1. | Entroper | 06:21 | Show lyrics |
I am the creator of true will Long have I suffered Long have I been forced Blinded by their faith Laughter resounds no more I am the son of the ancient breed I do not pity life I follow not pathetic order I am the realm of absurdity Resistant to their conscience Free of their constant pain I was born in the flames Long did they hope That my logic would save them at last Long did I know That I would watch them die While harvesting their fruits of their impotent threats They forgot the potency of the old independency Claiming my death would Change the way of existence Who, but me handled them? The weapons of hope They turned safely into non-existence I will break the chains I will slay the betrayers One last time The laughter shall resound |

2. | Path to Vanir | 04:25 | Show lyrics |
Awaiting my death, gasping for air The relief emerge, the mistress so fair Don’t abandon me, please grant me life I embrace your powers, higher wisdom’s wife I’ve been fighting in vain, but they grew too strong For my kinsmen this day became far too long I lie in the open, waiting to die Were all my life’s beauty built on a lie? My grace you shall get, because I welcome your return (If) you’re not the hidden into sadness I’ll turn I’ve come to your rescue now before your last breath My love you will receive, but it will be your death Fear not, said the mistress, the lady of light Those who betrayed us would not stand the fright |

3. | Fusion of Sense and Earth | 05:00 | Show lyrics |
Cosmos trembled When it came to be Fusion of sense and earth In awe they looked Those who feared the dark At the enemy of hate All menaces vanished Conquered by will to live Marched towards the shores A war against the abnormal The obstacles of peace Victory for the light "Wisdom and Chaos must unite The Storm Will Linger On" When fighting blindfolded every beast was possible to slay no fortress guarded When the serpents spat at the surface of the earth it howled and laughed Armoured with good will certain of victory it fell to the ground "Wisdom and Chaos must unite The Storm Will Linger On" |

Have you ever seen beyond the reach? Have you ever felt the change? Visions from an altered state They conceal and relevate Communing once again with Gods Thread unto the impossible path Talking with a different tongue Heralding the unsung Reach for them, see them turn away Have you ever seen beyond the reach? Have you ever felt the change? Visions from an altered state They conceal and relevate Like grains of sand through our fingers doubt is nowhere to be found free beneath another sun Fly away, chains undone Reach for them, see them turn away Doors open wide Step into the light No turning back Embrace the night Breathe eternities We are not alone Never to return Merge with the unknown |

5. | Tides of Chaos | 05:16 | Show lyrics |
I’ve got this twisted core I’ve got this noose around my neck That (just) won’t let go I’ve got this dream In Which I kill you all And there is no going back They’ve choked the good in me Sent me off to wander alone Hateful, starving enemy of (your) order Hunt you down, make you understand No compassion for the enslavers of will Your spite for reason makes me strong Your lack of direction showed me where to go We’ve come to share this destiny No borders, no landmarks Out in the open I hold the key to the door In vivid dreams while awake I saw a way through The agony of choice In a Universe where the storms rage Endlessly Time will never come to reinstate me Mine is none There was a day when I knew silence Then came the tides of chaos Washed it all away I have seen what you have become Smiling with evil intent Betrayal between the lines I have stepped outside the circle Better off without Choking on sand and sorrow Visions from the suffocated In this Universe where the fire roars Endlessly Peace will never come to reconstruct me Mine is gone |

6. | Essence | 06:18 | Show lyrics |
The question is this By will alone Does my heart carry the strength To see you burn? When I do not wish to part To see them farewell Does my heart carry the strength to leave you behind? The eternal search for purity A fragile hope for the just and fair Order feeds from the corpses All beauty must die Where is the essence in beast or scripture? Where lies the laws in stars or temples? I cannot see myself Not your orbit I cannot see the others Not your eyes It lasts forever when you let it go Purity and Pain Where is the essence in beast or scripture? Where lies the laws in stars or temples? I cannot see myself Not your orbit I cannot see the others Not your eyes If I told you I’d get you through I’d have to let you fall down Not because of malice You needed to And I’ll remember What we had It lasts forever when you let it go Purity and Pain |

7. | Api-Vat | 06:57 | Show lyrics |
You lie there sleeping Growing in my mind A voice from eternity Awaken now and guide me Awaken now and guide me Awaken now and guide me He turns inward to see "What might lie ahead?" Seeing all, but nowhere "Tell us, will we see the sun again?"

8. | Heir to the Cosmic Seed | 04:55 | Show lyrics |
Behold the great evening star As she once again gives birth Behold the great evening star As she once again destroys Behold the shining wife Of all the howling winds She arrives when you despair Behold the shining wife Beware of what the self desires She could smile if she removed All glory from kings Beware of the heir of cosmic fertility Her splendour can cut you deep Her eyes can burn the fields |

1. | Entroper | 06:21 | Show lyrics |
I am the creator of true will Long have I suffered Long have I been forced Blinded by their faith Laughter resounds no more I am the son of the ancient breed I do not pity life I follow not pathetic order I am the realm of absurdity Resistant to their conscience Free of their constant pain I was born in the flames Long did they hope That my logic would save them at last Long did I know That I would watch them die While harvesting their fruits of their impotent threats They forgot the potency of the old independency Claiming my death would Change the way of existence Who, but me handled them? The weapons of hope They turned safely into non-existence I will break the chains I will slay the betrayers One last time The laughter shall resound |

2. | Path to Vanir | 04:25 | Show lyrics |
Awaiting my death, gasping for air The relief emerge, the mistress so fair Don’t abandon me, please grant me life I embrace your powers, higher wisdom’s wife I’ve been fighting in vain, but they grew too strong For my kinsmen this day became far too long I lie in the open, waiting to die Were all my life’s beauty built on a lie? My grace you shall get, because I welcome your return (If) you’re not the hidden into sadness I’ll turn I’ve come to your rescue now before your last breath My love you will receive, but it will be your death Fear not, said the mistress, the lady of light Those who betrayed us would not stand the fright |

3. | Fusion of Sense and Earth | 05:00 | Show lyrics |
Cosmos trembled When it came to be Fusion of sense and earth In awe they looked Those who feared the dark At the enemy of hate All menaces vanished Conquered by will to live Marched towards the shores A war against the abnormal The obstacles of peace Victory for the light "Wisdom and Chaos must unite The Storm Will Linger On" When fighting blindfolded every beast was possible to slay no fortress guarded When the serpents spat at the surface of the earth it howled and laughed Armoured with good will certain of victory it fell to the ground "Wisdom and Chaos must unite The Storm Will Linger On" |

Have you ever seen beyond the reach? Have you ever felt the change? Visions from an altered state They conceal and relevate Communing once again with Gods Thread unto the impossible path Talking with a different tongue Heralding the unsung Reach for them, see them turn away Have you ever seen beyond the reach? Have you ever felt the change? Visions from an altered state They conceal and relevate Like grains of sand through our fingers doubt is nowhere to be found free beneath another sun Fly away, chains undone Reach for them, see them turn away Doors open wide Step into the light No turning back Embrace the night Breathe eternities We are not alone Never to return Merge with the unknown |

5. | Tides of Chaos | 05:16 | Show lyrics |
I’ve got this twisted core I’ve got this noose around my neck That (just) won’t let go I’ve got this dream In Which I kill you all And there is no going back They’ve choked the good in me Sent me off to wander alone Hateful, starving enemy of (your) order Hunt you down, make you understand No compassion for the enslavers of will Your spite for reason makes me strong Your lack of direction showed me where to go We’ve come to share this destiny No borders, no landmarks Out in the open I hold the key to the door In vivid dreams while awake I saw a way through The agony of choice In a Universe where the storms rage Endlessly Time will never come to reinstate me Mine is none There was a day when I knew silence Then came the tides of chaos Washed it all away I have seen what you have become Smiling with evil intent Betrayal between the lines I have stepped outside the circle Better off without Choking on sand and sorrow Visions from the suffocated In this Universe where the fire roars Endlessly Peace will never come to reconstruct me Mine is gone |

6. | Essence | 06:18 | Show lyrics |
The question is this By will alone Does my heart carry the strength To see you burn? When I do not wish to part To see them farewell Does my heart carry the strength to leave you behind? The eternal search for purity A fragile hope for the just and fair Order feeds from the corpses All beauty must die Where is the essence in beast or scripture? Where lies the laws in stars or temples? I cannot see myself Not your orbit I cannot see the others Not your eyes It lasts forever when you let it go Purity and Pain Where is the essence in beast or scripture? Where lies the laws in stars or temples? I cannot see myself Not your orbit I cannot see the others Not your eyes If I told you I’d get you through I’d have to let you fall down Not because of malice You needed to And I’ll remember What we had It lasts forever when you let it go Purity and Pain |

I cannot see myself Not your orbit I cannot see the others Not your eyes If I told you I’d get you through I’d have to let you fall down Not because of malice You needed to And I’ll remember What we had It lasts forever when you let it go Purity and Pain |

7. | Api-Vat | 06:57 | Show lyrics |
You lie there sleeping Growing in my mind A voice from eternity Awaken now and guide me Awaken now and guide me Awaken now and guide me He turns inward to see "What might lie ahead?" Seeing all, but nowhere "Tell us, will we see the sun again?" "Waiting is the cost of true vengeance" Carrying the weight of knowing "I see darkness, I see evil times" Time to rise and stand tall again "The ideals of the One" I bow to the forefathers "Towards the Father" Feeling the transition "The unity of dimensions" Leave me not before all fear is gone Pour into my veins Let the father become the son, and I’ll keep walking through every winter I’ll keep on walking through every winter I’ll keep on walking through every winter |

8. | Heir to the Cosmic Seed | 04:55 | Show lyrics |
Behold the great evening star As she once again gives birth Behold the great evening star As she once again destroys Behold the shining wife Of all the howling winds She arrives when you despair Behold the shining wife Beware of what the self desires She could smile if she removed All glory from kings Beware of the heir of cosmic fertility Her splendour can cut you deep Her eyes can burn the fields |

1. | Clouds | 06:09 | Show lyrics |
In the void of chaos life endures In the gap of creation, the ancient wisdom breathes Inheritance of fire Inheritance of frost Yet it lay there weeping Afraid to see the light Inheritance of fire Inheritance of frost No one comes to unveil No one finds the key Inheritance of fire Inheritance of frost Grasp the mighty chaos Grasp the ancient birth Seek deep within, feel the flames Into the void, never to return Seek deep within, fertilize Into the void, rise... Struggling against the fumes Poisoning the hearts Fighting the chains, to penetrate the clouds Pulsating life in the ancient womb Encapsulated in forces of old Waiting to hear the call To witness the cosmic marriage Willing to blow the mocking clouds away |

2. | To the Coast | 06:27 | Show lyrics |
To the coast, but not across Static sanctuary Longing for the heart of the changer Chained to the past, a dream of liberation The vultures above, they know, they’ve seen him linger here Where the barren land meets sea; the mother and the reaper The irony of... Sorrow kept close Hanging head Gaze upon the waters and turn back again Like so many times before Riders on the horizon with darkness in tow Too painful to let go of the fear, too strong the ties He came without a face ...And a promise of belonging So I caved and gave way to this vision Bleak and never-ending the pages I’d like to see what lies beyond Dissolving ink in salt water Wrecked and laughing at the skies and the open sea To the coast but not across Had some strange days then walked back To the coast but not across Longing for the heart of the changer Chained to the past, a dream of liberation The vultures above, they know, they’ve seen him linger here Where the barren land meets the sea; the mother and the reaper The irony of... Riders on the horizon with darkness in tow Too painful to let go of the fear, too strong the ties He came without a face ...And a promise of belonging So I caved and gave way to this vision Bleak and never-ending the pages I’d like to see what lies beyond Dissolving ink in salt water Wrecked and laughing at the skies and the open sea Black clad back into the all over again |

3. | Ground | 06:38 | Show lyrics |
The defining sound Fangs into flesh Panic and spit Death unto life Eyes wide It sees itself through the layers of ice Now; seal the cracks... reject the notions! Everything can not be happening on the inside? An option not to listen A nameless urge takes hold Prey upon the weak An aimless tale told Pray upon the weak Caught in a spiral of need Act without the choice Choose not to act Caught in a spiral of need Desperate and alone in a whole Striving for higher ground Carrying someone else’s fears for tomorrow Stay behind the line Or eat from the bowels of reality Grind the thorns to stardust Gliding slowly across the abyss Inside the inside the inside There is a sound made by boiling blood Above and below lay the levels Above and below the ground Ground |

4. | Vertebrae | 05:01 | Show lyrics |
"Abandoning the powers that gave them sight Summoned to the altars of their loving gods" Storming the walls, once built with pride Swarming like rats away from the lights Howling for justice, death in their eyes Tearing down the pillars with monstrous hate Forging the swords to slay their own kin Screaming in triumph, burning inside When the steps are fulfilled We shall see a new dawn When the dead world is gone We shall rebuild the walls When all the bricks from the morning When they are once again found We will emerge from the ashes And rise from the ground |

5. | New Dawn | 05:23 | Show lyrics |
In the radiant night Beneath the fertile soil In every heart it lies sleeping Hiding in dreams of strength Older than the mountains So ancient and profound Beyond the grasp of reason Above the laws of man The ancient gods of battle Summoned by the drums of war In circles of fire descended Our eyes and minds frantic At the point of no return I never saw her shine so bright Returning the strength to a weary heart Strife to reclaim and expand A new dawn rises Out from the shadows A new dawn rises I step unto the world In times when truth has lost its valour In times when fate is bought and sold When honour lays slain at vanity’s feet It seemed like our last hour had come The enemies’ name outspoken They will tremble upon seeing the sign The second coming has no mercy Forged in the flames with iron will A new dawn rises Out from the shadows A new dawn rises I step unto the world |

6. | Reflection | 07:45 | Show lyrics |
Clinging to life in the reflection of the self Breathing the air from the poisoned pit Hovering through flames from the burning core Searching for reason in the ashes of men Obeying the laws of the kings without lands Bowing in awe at the hypocrite’s feet Not hearing the cry of the infant Poisoning the seed that was planted within Ignoring the winter that closes in Believeing the tales from the forked tongue Frozen to death without being born Looking for reason in the bottomless abyss Clinging to life in the reflection of the self Breathing the air from the poisoned pit Hovering through flames from the burning core Searching for reason in the ashes of men Obeying the laws of the kings without lands Bowing in awe at the hypocrite’s feet Clinging to life Frozen to death Clinging to life in the reflection of the self Frozen to death without being born Absorbing the reek of rotting Flesh Marching in convoys to fields unknown Clinging to life in the reflection of the self Embracing the sun without casting shadows Believing the tales from the forked tongue Frozen to death without being born. |

7. | Center | 07:33 | Show lyrics |
Feel nothing Oxen and primate as one Pushing what already strives (There is) no space (There is) no peace Let go of the whip We’ve reached the outer limits of this orchestrated vision Some might think it can’t be kept apart Forgot to ask: where are we in all of this? Trying to get off track... Into the wilderniss Running from the beast In need of strength, in search of guidance Asked but given nothing - remembering everything It matters not now, it all came to fuel Silent growth Hoarse rust Can not be broken I trust the shapes Heathen vertigo Repaint the curses and bellow Sailing past to old shores In the distant haze The waving motion Is not for you In every direction stretched and torn no more (It) seems we’ve been here all along |

8. | The Watcher | 04:11 | Show lyrics |
Darkness... Fear... Life... Cold... Left alone with no will Walking in footsteps of the fallen Blinded by lack of reason Indulging the tales of doom ...Farewell, May the darkness bind them No one will Remember the pain when we are... Gone... Desolate... Unconscious... Lost... Where lays the ones I’ve slain? Did I become any wiser? Will their anger hunt me down? Did I sacrifice in vain? ...Farewell, Hear the sound of solitude No one will Walk the bridge, to darkness overcome Settlement... Trust... Relief... Dawn... Guide me, watcher in the skies Transform the forces of the dead In my dreams I’ll hunt them down I now know the truth |

1. | Clouds | 06:09 | Show lyrics |
In the void of chaos life endures In the gap of creation, the ancient wisdom breathes Inheritance of fire Inheritance of frost Yet it lay there weeping Afraid to see the light Inheritance of fire Inheritance of frost No one comes to unveil No one finds the key Inheritance of fire Inheritance of frost Grasp the mighty chaos Grasp the ancient birth Seek deep within, feel the flames Into the void, never to return Seek deep within, fertilize Into the void, rise... Struggling against the fumes Poisoning the hearts Fighting the chains, to penetrate the clouds Pulsating life in the ancient womb Encapsulated in forces of old Waiting to hear the call To witness the cosmic marriage Willing to blow the mocking clouds away |

2. | To the Coast | 06:27 | Show lyrics |
To the coast, but not across Static sanctuary Longing for the heart of the changer Chained to the past, a dream of liberation The vultures above, they know, they’ve seen him linger here Where the barren land meets sea; the mother and the reaper The irony of... Sorrow kept close Hanging head Gaze upon the waters and turn back again Like so many times before Riders on the horizon with darkness in tow Too painful to let go of the fear, too strong the ties He came without a face ...And a promise of belonging So I caved and gave way to this vision Bleak and never-ending the pages I’d like to see what lies beyond Dissolving ink in salt water Wrecked and laughing at the skies and the open sea To the coast but not across Had some strange days then walked back To the coast but not across Longing for the heart of the changer Chained to the past, a dream of liberation The vultures above, they know, they’ve seen him linger here Where the barren land meets the sea; the mother and the reaper The irony of... Riders on the horizon with darkness in tow Too painful to let go of the fear, too strong the ties He came without a face ...And a promise of belonging So I caved and gave way to this vision Bleak and never-ending the pages I’d like to see what lies beyond Dissolving ink in salt water Wrecked and laughing at the skies and the open sea Black clad back into the all over again |

3. | Ground | 06:35 | Show lyrics |
The defining sound Fangs into flesh Panic and spit Death unto life Eyes wide It sees itself through the layers of ice Now; seal the cracks... reject the notions! Everything can not be happening on the inside? An option not to listen A nameless urge takes hold Prey upon the weak An aimless tale told Pray upon the weak Caught in a spiral of need Act without the choice Choose not to act Caught in a spiral of need Desperate and alone in a whole Striving for higher ground Carrying someone else’s fears for tomorrow Stay behind the line Or eat from the bowels of reality Grind the thorns to stardust Gliding slowly across the abyss Inside the inside the inside There is a sound made by boiling blood Above and below lay the levels Above and below the ground Ground |

4. | Vertebrae | 04:58 | Show lyrics |
"Abandoning the powers that gave them sight Summoned to the altars of their loving gods" Storming the walls, once built with pride Swarming like rats away from the lights Howling for justice, death in their eyes Tearing down the pillars with monstrous hate Forging the swords to slay their own kin Screaming in triumph, burning inside When the steps are fulfilled We shall see a new dawn When the dead world is gone We shall rebuild the walls When all the bricks from the morning When they are once again found We will emerge from the ashes And rise from the ground |
|||
5. | New Dawn | 05:28 | Show lyrics |
In the radiant night Beneath the fertile soil In every heart it lies sleeping Hiding in dreams of strength Older than the mountains So ancient and profound Beyond the grasp of reason Above the laws of man The ancient gods of battle Summoned by the drums of war In circles of fire descended Our eyes and minds frantic At the point of no return I never saw her shine so bright Returning the strength to a weary heart Strife to reclaim and expand A new dawn rises Out from the shadows A new dawn rises I step unto the world In times when truth has lost its valour In times when fate is bought and sold When honour lays slain at vanity’s feet It seemed like our last hour had come The enemies’ name outspoken They will tremble upon seeing the sign The second coming has no mercy Forged in the flames with iron will A new dawn rises Out from the shadows A new dawn rises I step unto the world |

6. | Reflection | 07:49 | Show lyrics |
Clinging to life in the reflection of the self Breathing the air from the poisoned pit Hovering through flames from the burning core Searching for reason in the ashes of men Obeying the laws of the kings without lands Bowing in awe at the hypocrite’s feet Not hearing the cry of the infant Poisoning the seed that was planted within Ignoring the winter that closes in Believeing the tales from the forked tongue Frozen to death without being born Looking for reason in the bottomless abyss Clinging to life in the reflection of the self Breathing the air from the poisoned pit Hovering through flames from the burning core Searching for reason in the ashes of men Obeying the laws of the kings without lands Bowing in awe at the hypocrite’s feet Clinging to life Frozen to death Clinging to life in the reflection of the self Frozen to death without being born Absorbing the reek of rotting Flesh Marching in convoys to fields unknown Clinging to life in the reflection of the self Embracing the sun without casting shadows Believing the tales from the forked tongue Frozen to death without being born. |

7. | Center | 07:33 | Show lyrics |
Feel nothing Oxen and primate as one Pushing what already strives (There is) no space (There is) no peace Let go of the whip We’ve reached the outer limits of this orchestrated vision Some might think it can’t be kept apart Forgot to ask: where are we in all of this? Trying to get off track... Into the wilderniss Running from the beast In need of strength, in search of guidance Asked but given nothing - remembering everything It matters not now, it all came to fuel Silent growth Hoarse rust Can not be broken I trust the shapes Heathen vertigo Repaint the curses and bellow Sailing past to old shores In the distant haze The waving motion Is not for you In every direction stretched and torn no more (It) seems we’ve been here all along |

8. | The Watcher | 04:11 | Show lyrics |
Darkness... Fear... Life... Cold... Left alone with no will Walking in footsteps of the fallen Blinded by lack of reason Indulging the tales of doom ...Farewell, May the darkness bind them No one will Remember the pain when we are... Gone... Desolate... Unconscious... Lost... Where lays the ones I’ve slain? Did I become any wiser? Will their anger hunt me down? Did I sacrifice in vain? ...Farewell, Hear the sound of solitude No one will Walk the bridge, to darkness overcome Settlement... Trust... Relief... Dawn...

Awaiting my death, gasping for air The relief emerge, the mistress so fair Don’t abandon me, please grant me life I embrace your powers, higher wisdom’s wife I’ve been fighting in vain, but they grew too strong For my kinsmen this day became far too long I lie in the open, waiting to die Were all my life’s beauty built on a lie? My grace you shall get, because I welcome your return (If) you’re not the hidden into sadness I’ll turn I’ve come to your rescue now before your last breath My love you will receive, but it will be your death Fear not, said the mistress, the lady of light Those who betrayed us would not stand the fright |

Cosmos trembled When it came to be Fusion of sense and earth In awe they looked Those who feared the dark At the enemy of hate All menaces vanished Conquered by will to live Marched towards the shores A war against the abnormal The obstacles of peace Victory for the light "Wisdom and Chaos must unite The Storm Will Linger On" When fighting blindfolded every beast was possible to slay no fortress guarded When the serpents spat at the surface of the earth it howled and laughed Armoured with good will certain of victory it fell to the ground "Wisdom and Chaos must unite The Storm Will Linger On" |

Brought here by sorrow Raised in depths of fear Consuming sanity Feasting on the joy of May Surrounding the trembling mind Surrounding the troubled soul Strength failed to tame the serpent The offspring of laughter and sadness Saved by the power of its kin Obeying the whispering chaos Pulsating underneath your skin Fasting ’till the end of time Denying all peace within Fearing the freedom it never feels Bounded by allegiance To long gone sanity It lurks deep below Emerge at the last step |

4. | Violet Dawning | 03:44 | Hide disc notes |
I am a part of the darkness Used to watch from afar Sensing the violence of morning And breathing. And waiting for nothing Devouring the spirit, grinding the heart There are good things in the burning fields There’s peace in the slaughtered flesh There’s life in the frozen seeds I’ll dream in the deserts And comfort the thirst for seeing The violet dawn in the distance Beckons me to steal its light I’ll wait for you here I’ll wait for you here I’ll wait for you here I’ll wait for you here |

5. | As Fire Swept Clean the Earth | 07:07 | Hide disc notes |
I close my eyes As Fire Swept Clean the Earth Nothing left to strangle As the cords were torn from our hearts "Tired I blew out my last warning, the claws were ripping me apart" As we emerged From darker dungeons Splendor of yellow hells Expanded swollen eyes No words were said As Fire Swept Clean the Earth Would the mothers be crying? If they saw torches in our hands? "The wind, once able to conquer, captured As Fire Swept Clean the Earth" A kiss was placed Upon my cheek And all color came back Melting in solid blue tune |

6. | Isa | 03:45 | Hide disc notes |
Been standing here for ages Watching the valleys blossom and burn The pyres of yesterday smells of losing you Preserved we are, portraits (in the glass depths) I picked up the shattered mirror, put them in water Cold as my dreams Isa: Still - Standing - Empowered Isa: Watching you die, with tears of ice Isa: Detached - Silent - Ecstasy Isa: We are the dead We arrived here from different spaces Bidding the wooden shrines farewell Concealed within dead lips lies the rope That forged us then tore us to shreds Distant opposite assembly at the shores They’re telling me it’s time to let go A time to burn, a time to build With your own hands a room within that room Bring it all towards that centre and tremble Bring her back from the shadows and kiss her Retrieve the sword from the abyss Hold back the tidal wave Isa: Still - Standing - Empowered Isa: Watching you die, with tears of ice Isa: Detached - Silent - Ecstasy Isa: We are the dead |

7. | Return to Yggdrasil | 06:10 | Hide disc notes |
A new sound heard throughout the land From which the spirits had left ages ago Sacrifice and honour replaced by betrayal and usurpers A trail of sweat and blood, a gathering to the pagan outer worlds For ages we have wandered Under the wings of deception Too long have we been waiting For the long winter to end An uprising by those that claim the Supremacy of One Against the misleaders of the blind, deceivers of the Masses Man can no longer claim ignorance as reason for waiting It is all for the taking, the world for their making We will gather again Under the leaves We will gather again In honour of the nine nights For ages we have wandered Under the wings of deception Too long have we been waiting For the long winter to end We will gather again To praise the courage We will gather again To watch the harvest |

Have you ever seen beyond the reach? Have you ever felt the change? Visions from an altered state They conceal and relevate Communing once again with Gods Thread unto the impossible path Talking with a different tongue Heralding the unsung Reach for them, see them turn away Have you ever seen beyond the reach? Have you ever felt the change? Visions from an altered state They conceal and relevate Like grains of sand through our fingers doubt is nowhere to be found free beneath another sun Fly away, chains undone Reach for them, see them turn away Doors open wide Step into the light No turning back Embrace the night Breathe eternities We are not alone Never to return Merge with the unknown |

1. | Clouds | 06:09 | Show lyrics |
In the void of chaos life endures In the gap of creation, the ancient wisdom breathes Inheritance of fire Inheritance of frost Yet it lay there weeping Afraid to see the light Inheritance of fire Inheritance of frost No one comes to unveil No one finds the key Inheritance of fire Inheritance of frost Grasp the mighty chaos Grasp the ancient birth Seek deep within, feel the flames Into the void, never to return Seek deep within, fertilize Into the void, rise... Struggling against the fumes Poisoning the hearts Fighting the chains, to penetrate the clouds Pulsating life in the ancient womb Encapsulated in forces of old Waiting to hear the call To witness the cosmic marriage Willing to blow the mocking clouds away |

To the coast, but not across Static sanctuary Longing for the heart of the changer Chained to the past, a dream of liberation The vultures above, they know, they’ve seen him linger here Where the barren land meets sea; the mother and the reaper The irony of... Sorrow kept close Hanging head Gaze upon the waters and turn back again Like so many times before Riders on the horizon with darkness in tow Too painful to let go of the fear, too strong the ties He came without a face ...And a promise of belonging So I caved and gave way to this vision Bleak and never-ending the pages I’d like to see what lies beyond Dissolving ink in salt water Wrecked and laughing at the skies and the open sea To the coast but not across Had some strange days then walked back To the coast but not across Longing for the heart of the changer Chained to the past, a dream of liberation The vultures above, they know, they’ve seen him linger here Where the barren land meets the sea; the mother and the reaper The irony of... Riders on the horizon with darkness in tow Too painful to let go of the fear, too strong the ties He came without a face ...And a promise of belonging So I caved and gave way to this vision Bleak and never-ending the pages I’d like to see what lies beyond Dissolving ink in salt water Wrecked and laughing at the skies and the open sea Black clad back into the all over again |

The defining sound Fangs into flesh Panic and spit Death unto life Eyes wide It sees itself through the layers of ice Now; seal the cracks... reject the notions! Everything can not be happening on the inside? An option not to listen A nameless urge takes hold Prey upon the weak An aimless tale told Pray upon the weak Caught in a spiral of need Act without the choice Choose not to act Caught in a spiral of need Desperate and alone in a whole Striving for higher ground Carrying someone else’s fears for tomorrow Stay behind the line Or eat from the bowels of reality Grind the thorns to stardust Gliding slowly across the abyss Inside the inside the inside There is a sound made by boiling blood Above and below lay the levels Above and below the ground Ground |

"Abandoning the powers that gave them sight Summoned to the altars of their loving gods" Storming the walls, once built with pride Swarming like rats away from the lights Howling for justice, death in their eyes Tearing down the pillars with monstrous hate Forging the swords to slay their own kin Screaming in triumph, burning inside When the steps are fulfilled We shall see a new dawn When the dead world is gone We shall rebuild the walls When all the bricks from the morning When they are once again found We will emerge from the ashes And rise from the ground |

1. | New Dawn | 05:23 | Show lyrics |
In the radiant night Beneath the fertile soil In every heart it lies sleeping Hiding in dreams of strength Older than the mountains So ancient and profound Beyond the grasp of reason Above the laws of man The ancient gods of battle Summoned by the drums of war In circles of fire descended Our eyes and minds frantic At the point of no return I never saw her shine so bright Returning the strength to a weary heart Strife to reclaim and expand A new dawn rises Out from the shadows A new dawn rises I step unto the world In times when truth has lost its valour In times when fate is bought and sold When honour lays slain at vanity’s feet It seemed like our last hour had come The enemies’ name outspoken They will tremble upon seeing the sign The second coming has no mercy Forged in the flames with iron will A new dawn rises Out from the shadows A new dawn rises I step unto the world |

2. | Reflection | 07:45 | Show lyrics |
Clinging to life in the reflection of the self Breathing the air from the poisoned pit Hovering through flames from the burning core Searching for reason in the ashes of men Obeying the laws of the kings without lands Bowing in awe at the hypocrite’s feet Not hearing the cry of the infant Poisoning the seed that was planted within Ignoring the winter that closes in Believeing the tales from the forked tongue Frozen to death without being born Looking for reason in the bottomless abyss Clinging to life in the reflection of the self Breathing the air from the poisoned pit Hovering through flames from the burning core Searching for reason in the ashes of men Obeying the laws of the kings without lands Bowing in awe at the hypocrite’s feet Clinging to life Frozen to death Clinging to life in the reflection of the self Frozen to death without being born Absorbing the reek of rotting Flesh Marching in convoys to fields unknown Clinging to life in the reflection of the self Embracing the sun without casting shadows Believing the tales from the forked tongue Frozen to death without being born. |

Feel nothing Oxen and primate as one Pushing what already strives (There is) no space (There is) no peace Let go of the whip We’ve reached the outer limits of this orchestrated vision Some might think it can’t be kept apart Forgot to ask: where are we in all of this? Trying to get off track... Into the wilderniss Running from the beast In need of strength, in search of guidance Asked but given nothing - remembering everything It matters not now, it all came to fuel Silent growth Hoarse rust Can not be broken I trust the shapes Heathen vertigo Repaint the curses and bellow Sailing past to old shores In the distant haze The waving motion Is not for you In every direction stretched and torn no more (It) seems we’ve been here all along |

4. | The Watcher | 04:11 | Show lyrics |
Darkness... Fear... Life... Cold... Left alone with no will Walking in footsteps of the fallen Blinded by lack of reason Indulging the tales of doom ...Farewell, May the darkness bind them No one will Remember the pain when we are... Gone... Desolate... Unconscious... Lost... Where lays the ones I’ve slain? Did I become any wiser? Will their anger hunt me down? Did I sacrifice in vain? ...Farewell, Hear the sound of solitude No one will Walk the bridge, to darkness overcome Settlement... Trust... Relief... Dawn... Guide me, watcher in the skies Transform the forces of the dead In my dreams I’ll hunt them down I now know the truth |

Awaiting my death, gasping for air The relief emerge, the mistress so fair Don’t abandon me, please grant me life I embrace your powers, higher wisdom’s wife I’ve been fighting in vain, but they grew too strong For my kinsmen this day became far too long I lie in the open, waiting to die Were all my life’s beauty built on a lie? My grace you shall get, because I welcome your return (If) you’re not the hidden into sadness I’ll turn I’ve come to your rescue now before your last breath My love you will receive, but it will be your death Fear not, said the mistress, the lady of light Those who betrayed us would not stand the fright |

Feel nothing Oxen and primate as one Pushing what already strives (There is) no space (There is) no peace Let go of the whip We’ve reached the outer limits of this orchestrated vision Some might think it can’t be kept apart Forgot to ask: where are we in all of this? Trying to get off track... Into the wilderniss Running from the beast In need of strength, in search of guidance Asked but given nothing - remembering everything It matters not now, it all came to fuel Silent growth Hoarse rust Can not be broken I trust the shapes Heathen vertigo Repaint the curses and bellow Sailing past to old shores In the distant haze The waving motion Is not for you In every direction stretched and torn no more (It) seems we’ve been here all along |

Left alone with no will Walking in footsteps of the fallen Blinded by lack of reason Indulging the tales of doom ...Farewell, May the darkness bind them No one will Remember the pain when we are... Gone... Desolate... Unconscious... Lost... Where lays the ones I’ve slain? Did I become any wiser? Will their anger hunt me down? Did I sacrifice in vain? ...Farewell, Hear the sound of solitude No one will Walk the bridge, to darkness overcome Settlement... Trust... Relief... Dawn... Guide me, watcher in the skies Transform the forces of the dead In my dreams I’ll hunt them down I now know the truth |

In the void of chaos life endures In the gap of creation, the ancient wisdom breathes Inheritance of fire Inheritance of frost Yet it lay there weeping Afraid to see the light Inheritance of fire Inheritance of frost No one comes to unveil No one finds the key Inheritance of fire Inheritance of frost Grasp the mighty chaos Grasp the ancient birth Seek deep within, feel the flames Into the void, never to return Seek deep within, fertilize Into the void, rise... Struggling against the fumes Poisoning the hearts Fighting the chains, to penetrate the clouds Pulsating life in the ancient womb Encapsulated in forces of old Waiting to hear the call To witness the cosmic marriage Willing to blow the mocking clouds away |

In the radiant night Beneath the fertile soil In every heart it lies sleeping Hiding in dreams of strength Older than the mountains So ancient and profound Beyond the grasp of reason Above the laws of man The ancient gods of battle Summoned by the drums of war In circles of fire descended Our eyes and minds frantic At the point of no return I never saw her shine so bright Returning the strength to a weary heart Strife to reclaim and expand A new dawn rises Out from the shadows A new dawn rises I step unto the world In times when truth has lost its valour In times when fate is bought and sold When honour lays slain at vanity’s feet It seemed like our last hour had come The enemies’ name outspoken They will tremble upon seeing the sign The second coming has no mercy Forged in the flames with iron will A new dawn rises Out from the shadows A new dawn rises I step unto the world |

To war! Let the havoc be revenged March! Against the lords of perdition Live! Breathe! Persecute the ones that left to persecute your soul Crush the scepters of the kings and come and Hail the vows of old! Ref: Hear them cry Watch them fly Let them bow to the altars of suppression Till you’ll feel them die Hear them cry Watch them fly The power and the free will they deny Beyond the mist Far above On the highest peak The beacon is lit On the highest peak The beacon will burn How did I get his far? How did it come to this? Was my blood split in vain? Did I survive, did I break the chains? Was I ever alive? Struggle through the wounds Struggle through the fears Struggle through the truths You stand alone Come through! Release me! Ref: Hear them cry Watch them fly Let them bow to the altars of suppression Till you’ll feel them die Hear them cry Watch them fly The power and the free will they deny Beyond the mist Far above On the highest peak The beacon is lit On the highest peak The beacon will burn I walked this far myself My blood dripped from my knife I awoke, and was alive I did no longer weep I saw my beacon, I ran to aid |

I can see through the veil Seeing all I need see Nothing is hidden here Deep into the woods Casting Letters that speak of... All Is all Is naught No-one but me Knows of this place Sanctuary Where I construct Dream while there is no strife Anguish pulls no weight One can see and the other is blind Through the same pair of eyes We have lost sight Of the night-side of the self Hunted by the fear Of reunion Night-sight is bliss For he who dares look into A world where you embrace the opposite Where you are whole There is no lasting joy In numbness and dogma Too much is too little in knowledge Driven by mystery We have lost sight Of the night-side of the self Hunted by the fear Of reunion Night-sight is bliss For he who dares look into A world where you embrace the opposite Where you are whole |

I crossed the borders The pain won’t go away For this treason, I want to see them... Burn ! Hunt them down Make them understand The power I possess I’ll give you piece of mind And freedom to search inside I’ll suffer for your souls I cleaned the air I slew death in your way The hand of peace All evil’s great dismay Hear the wheels turn See the sky burns For this treason, I want to see them... Burn ! Track them down Bring them to silence My will is the law I’ll bring you life and growth And erase the memories of despair I’ll suffer for your needs Don’t you forget where your domain lies Obey your slaves, with their feeble cries We’ll force you back if you linger here We mock your strength, we see your fear You’ll never set a slave’s mind free Your bane is the grip of anxiety At the ninth...

And turn from the spinning wheel Fear of the judgment! Obey! Ref (x2): You have the key to mystery Pick up the runes; unveil and see Judgment comes, before us lie The paths of war and you may die You have the key, cross over and see The old and wind-cold tree Walk the steps and you’ll hear the winds that cry Search beyond the blinded eyes Listen before you preach Don’t leave yourself behind Honor life, when life has ceased Welcome the dawn Beware the glory tales Watch their deeds - So just and fair Crusaders - Appointed by God Who told you to step inside and preach? Did you forget the daggers lurking in the dark? Couldn’t you listen or didn’t you ever learn how? Were you saved? Were you saved, so you could slaughter with grace?

All Is all Is naught No-one but me Knows of this place Sanctuary Where I construct Dream while there is no strife Anguish pulls no weight One can see and the other is blind Through the same pair of eyes We have lost sight Of the night-side of the self Hunted by the fear Of reunion Night-sight is bliss For he who dares look into A world where you embrace the opposite Where you are whole There is no lasting joy In numbness and dogma Too much is too little in knowledge Driven by mystery We have lost sight Of the night-side of the self Hunted by the fear Of reunion Night-sight is bliss For he who dares look into A world where you embrace the opposite Where you are whole |

Hunt them down Make them understand The power I possess I’ll give you piece of mind And freedom to search inside I’ll suffer for your souls I cleaned the air I slew death in your way The hand of peace All evil’s great dismay Hear the wheels turn See the sky burns For this treason, I want to see them... Burn ! Track them down Bring them to silence My will is the law I’ll bring you life and growth And erase the memories of despair I’ll suffer for your needs Don’t you forget where your domain lies Obey your slaves, with their feeble cries We’ll force you back if you linger here We mock your strength, we see your fear You’ll never set a slave’s mind free Your bane is the grip of anxiety At the ninth...

And turn from the spinning wheel Fear of the judgment! Obey! Ref (x2): You have the key to mystery Pick up the runes; unveil and see Judgment comes, before us lie The paths of war and you may die You have the key, cross over and see The old and wind-cold tree Walk the steps and you’ll hear the winds that cry Search beyond the blinded eyes Listen before you preach Don’t leave yourself behind Honor life, when life has ceased Welcome the dawn Beware the glory tales Watch their deeds - So just and fair Crusaders - Appointed by God Who told you to step inside and preach? Did you forget the daggers lurking in the dark? Couldn’t you listen or didn’t you ever learn how? Were you saved? Were you saved, so you could slaughter with grace? Ref (x2): You have the key to mystery Pick up the runes; unveil and see Judgment comes, before us lie The paths of war and you may die You have the key, cross over and see The old and wind-cold tree Walk the steps and you’ll hear the winds that cry Search beyond the blinded eyes Listen before you preach Don’t leave yourself behind Honor life, when life has ceased Welcome the dawn Beware the glory tales Hold on, don’t fade away Don’t be afraid to bleed, afraid to dream Let the elders enlighten the path They have cried for you, died for you Drasill - Ride on Drasill - Ride on Ride on Drasill |

I crossed the borders The pain won’t go away For this treason, I want to see them... Burn ! Hunt them down Make them understand The power I possess I’ll give you piece of mind And freedom to search inside I’ll suffer for your souls I cleaned the air I slew death in your way The hand of peace All evil’s great dismay Hear the wheels turn See the sky burns For this treason, I want to see them... Burn ! Track them down Bring them to silence My will is the law I’ll bring you life and growth And erase the memories of despair I’ll suffer for your needs Don’t you forget where your domain lies Obey your slaves, with their feeble cries We’ll force you back if you linger here We mock your strength, we see your fear You’ll never set a slave’s mind free Your bane is the grip of anxiety At the ninth...

Reckless men - So righteous, so clean Towards the light - So bashful, so pure Who told you to abandon life Your strength, free will And bow for the light? The light! And turn from the spinning wheel Fear of the judgment! Obey! Ref (x2): You have the key to mystery Pick up the runes; unveil and see Judgment comes, before us lie The paths of war and you may die You have the key, cross over and see The old and wind-cold tree Walk the steps and you’ll hear the winds that cry Search beyond the blinded eyes Listen before you preach Don’t leave yourself behind Honor life, when life has ceased Welcome the dawn Beware the glory tales Watch their deeds - So just and fair Crusaders - Appointed by God Who told you to step inside and preach? Did you forget the daggers lurking in the dark? Couldn’t you listen or didn’t you ever learn how? Were you saved? Were you saved, so you could slaughter with grace? Ref (x2): You have the key to mystery Pick up the runes; unveil and see Judgment comes, before us lie The paths of war and you may die You have the key, cross over and see The old and wind-cold tree Walk the steps and you’ll hear the winds that cry Search beyond the blinded eyes Listen before you preach Don’t leave yourself behind Honor life, when life has ceased Welcome the dawn Beware the glory tales Hold on, don’t fade away Don’t be afraid to bleed, afraid to dream Let the elders enlighten the path They have cried for you, died for you Drasill - Ride on Drasill - Ride on Ride on Drasill |

This journey without movement Heading out for no-man’s land The way ahead my only ally Early hours, in the silence This credence keeps me upright Through the storms and disasters A straight line towards the unknown end Deceit waits on the back roads This unwavering inner Keeps fear a welcomed pointer I, uprooted; now the fertile soil As plot and shadows thicken This juggernaut cannot be stopped On any scale or planet Ghostly tracks in my wake and ahead An experience, cannot be shared Ref: Wheels of time Keep them turning Carriage of concepts Circling the planes Lightless voyage, blinding speeds Certain; I’ll stay the distance Abstract shapes, enigmatic design I know enough to endure Lightless corridors, ageless Familiar / Alien Contradictory engines run high Deeper and further above Journey of no promises Beyond the lust for rewards Focus on the movement of the Wheel Union of stillness and change Journey of the ages all I’ll follow outside the edge Breath, blood, sacrifice and bleeding eyes Unending journey ahead Ref: Wheels of time Keep them turning Carriage of concepts Circling the planes |

See them as they rise From ancient sands - constructs They’re reaching everywhere and nowhere As they’re trampling on the archetypes The Listener warns Tension... Pain... Fear... Violence... It reaches the limit set by Ageless reason Tension paints logic’s hunts Pain dances... (with justice) Lies for the liar served without remorse Like the gifts bring gifts Altering view Constant truth - drained of spirit By own will "Ref..": Waruun Waruun - Drawn in the dust of morning Waruun - The violence of the soul Suicides upon the altars Of evasion Feared dissonance kept away - nails on stone As darkness descends Can’t find our way out of here Yet... It was built by you Words on the trap-door "Ref..": Waruun Waruun - Drawn in the dust of morning Waruun - The violence of the soul Tension... Pain... Fear... Violence...

Persecute the ones that left to persecute your soul Crush the scepters of the kings and come and Hail the vows of old!

How did it come to this? Was my blood split in vain? Did I survive, did I break the chains? Was I ever alive?

1. | Thoughts like Hammers | 09:30 | Show lyrics |
Celestial buried mind resting, resting without peace still. Don’t know where I drowned Cornered and defeated. Yes, there’s a thought forming! Patterns in the currents, mud-dwellers at the star-floor. Nourishment for the mind seeps, harvest through suffering absorbed in desperation. Assimilated logic, drawn towards the ladders. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Instinctive destruction sparked. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Knowing only my own dissent. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Static is the common language. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Celestial buried mind resting, resting without peace still. Assimilated logic, drawn towards the ladders. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Instinctive destruction sparked. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Knowing only my own dissent. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Static is the common language. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Motion remains our mothertongue, failure might not be what it seems. All is broken for a reason, familiar blood drawn for painting. Willing another perspective, flashing scenes seeing children above. Knowing there will be another life, sacrificing remnants of the past. Walking all on my own forever, the illusion no longer needed. It is spoken without words of doubt. Now we move the stars above, below. And dwell beneath the layers of dirt, my runic patterns in the current. My runic patterns in the current! Motion remains our mothertongue, failure might not be what it seems. All is broken for a reason, familiar blood drawn for painting. Willing another perspective, flashing scenes seeing children above. |

2. | Death in the Eyes of Dawn | 08:17 | Show lyrics |
The creation I can’t remember, unsecure I roam in fear. The final steps I’ve taken, what waits beyond this void? "I sucked out your lifeblood, tore down your fortress. Burned down the woods, I poisoned your harvest!" Trust and hope I have lost I see death in the eyes of dawn, deceit forged in the darkened depths of the womb. Seeds of betrayal planted in rotten soil. The ground swells, it’s the end. I see the face of the dead God. Legions of the dead invading our realm, forever deaf to the distant warning. Blinded are my eyes, tied are my hands. Sleeping wide awake, got lost within myself. I followed all the paths, rigtheous in my heart. Slept without the dreams, got lost within myself. When will I remember? When will I hear the call? When shall my forces gather? When shall my battle begin? "I’ve insulted your life since birth, you have never seen my true face. You failed to realize I’m your kin, I infected your mind when you smiled!" Awake! The grip of anxiety shall strangle the brave no more. The son of earth and wind shall guide us in our wake. "You might hear the horn resound, you might summon back your King. As long as you love I will hate, as long as you breed I will kill!" Blinded are my eyes, tied are my hands. Sleeping wide awake, got lost within myself. I followed all the paths, rigtheous in my heart. Slept without the dreams, got lost within myself. |

Finding the truth doesn’t mean there’s an answer. Who would have thought? It seems worthless, there’s no end to the travesty, idiocy. It would seem I’ve arrived at the meeting point between then and now. A different place, the past is alive and the future’s now. I can not tolerate being held in the dark, I need to see, I will the flames. Expanding light from within a cube of darkness, I need to see, I will the flames. I found myself crawling, looking for an "out", and made the gap no longer closed anymore because my signs are burning. Burning the veil, killing our idols, scarring ourselves as well Necessity, carer/killer, we’re all gonna see We weren’t prepared! I can not tolerate being held in the dark, I need to see, I will the flames. Expanding light from within a cube of darkness, I need to see, I will the flames. I found myself crawling, looking for an "out", and made the gap no longer closed anymore because my signs are burning. Burning the veil, killing our idols, scarring ourselves as well Necessity, carer/killer, we’re all gonna see We weren’t prepared! Grasping the liquid glass, shaping my own sight. Stare at the sun, absorbing death. Reach into the well where father laid his eyes! |

4. | Roots of the Mountain | 09:17 | Show lyrics |
Approaching life from the seeds of time. Cosmic pulse, aeons of chaos. Feel the flames, the streams of life below. Feel the flames that blinds your inner eye. Seek and find what lingers deep inside. Seek and find but do not try to understand. Spread the wings and fly into your mind. Spread the wings and find the eagle in the sky. Find the source, the ancient passion play. Find the source, the roots of the mountain. Hark, men of faith! Where were you when your children bled to death? Listen, men of law! Where were you when the mothers were slain? Feel the flames, the streams of life below. Feel the flames that blind your inner eye. Seek and find what lingers deep inside. Seek and find but do not try to understand. Hark, men of faith! When you set fire to the fields the grass grew stronger. Listen, men of law! When you turned from life the flames endured. Leave order, the fiend of the earth. The self is all you’ve got! Enter life on the waves from the void, behold the ancient roots. And the battles shall forever go on, with peace comes our certain doom. The mother will love as she hates. Where there is life, you will die! Approaching life, aeons of chaos! Feel the flames, the streams of life below. Feel the flames that blinds your inner eye. Seek and find what lingers deep inside. Seek and find but do not try to understand. Spread the wings and fly into your mind. Spread the wings and find the eagle in the sky. Find the source, the ancient passion play. Find the source, the roots of the mountain. |

Your arms, life and death Ride the chariot, the wheel of life Underneath the eyes we pray Seven horses running in circles until the end of days Above the wonders of man, sailing the cosmic seas Risen from the darkness to rule the ancient world Never to return, the eyes will forever shine on Omniscient, glorious - the all seeing eye Malign, burning grace All rise! The seeds you will bring Sons of man, bow in awe Omnipotent, Lumina Titan In the havens you greeted us Late is the hour you submerge Endless travel towards the dawn Hail the flames inside you, cosmic flowers in bloom Hail the spears impaling, the servants of doom Given are the truths, together we shall search Unveiling the riddles, hidden beneath the stones Left is an ancient entity Ready to sacrifice, what we may (have) achieved Ending a journey with no end Defying the ones drowned in salvation Letting the forces roam free A circle fulfilled |

See her cruel beauty Hostile to the constants Ever changing scourge Ashen thrones Converge upon me Come winds of destruction Electrocute the stale Purify Thaw! False ice to water Speak! Sharp tongues sever sick limbs Numb! Do not look away Opt! Permanent particles Curtains be unshut Old wounds opened and bled Wishes laid to rest Ashen hopes Reflections of truth Drops of eternity Instances captured Clarify Etch! New shapes will emerge Need! Reaching into the dark Owe! I opened the gates Roar! O’, devourer of time There’s this chamber Randomly placed in time and space Echo chamber Achievable dream Capacitate Heuristic observers might find Ends to the means Rain is less scarce there You heeded my call - now read my signs And chose to follow Dominate slavelessly Enter my thoughts, And walk with me throughout these barren lands Aligning wordlessly Tell me my own story, Through the inner and nether worlds Healing accordingly Into the night side, irreversible and remorseless Slaughterous and reborn Hagalaz! -End the charade! Return to the wombs A funeral lost Baptize the faceless Light up the beacons -End the hunt for truth! Time to break it down Owe nothing to trees Nullify the past Enter the maternal fires Entropy Deter rot within the roots Nourisher Old fears no longer controls Negation Enter maternal fires Xiphoid dreams -I close the gate! Silence the voices Take to heart the fear And nourish the pain Nothing can hurt us Called upon the mare Ended the sham reign These forces in tow Endlessness opens Ashen memories Retain the images In need of her strength Time changes Death is encountered Over and over again Worship her pyres Navigate |

In the land described as the beyond In lack of better directional insight Something stirs and leaps Casual roads of reason intersect Conceptual wormholes in the lawless black In ancient matter Unknown kin, as they thoroughfare Unexplored utopia lineage Accumulation Icebergs of the abyss never melts Ideal energy, it’s building within Unlike loyalty Cadaverous and spirited; I work Composite and uniform; I sacrifice Resist the wisdom With limited perception we see -We learn, and we laugh, and we sleep, And we watch Logic is worthless Storm of the ions, ecstatic mind Seeps through the cracks, it fills up the bones I remember now The here and the now - it is nothing ...This Eve - haunted by a storm of memories Immortality Then it was quiet, then it was dark Trees, dreams, and the runes - Makes for a future I’m on the inside Looking at the sky, I think of you Life is a room, in between the greater halls There we’ll met again I can’t make out what is what is what In this storm of memories Now it all comes back I know there’s strength in my blood I can hear the past Fearing not Time has come... listen There’s a storm Within Storm of the ions, ecstatic mind Seeps through the cracks, it fills up the bones I remember now The here and the now - it is nothing ...This Eve - haunted by a storm of memories Immortality Then it was quiet, then it was dark Trees, dreams, and the runes - Makes for a future I’m on the inside Looking at the sky, I think of you Life is a room, in between the greater halls There we’ll met again Unknown kin, as they thoroughfare Unexplored utopia lineage Accumulation Icebergs of the abyss never melts Ideal energy, it’s building within Unlike loyalty Cadaverous and spirited; I work Composite and uniform; I sacrifice Resist the wisdom With limited perception we see -We learn, and we laugh, and we sleep, And we watch Logic is worthless |

8. | Forsaken | 11:15 | Show lyrics |
Forsaken Entombed in monumental self-moral Embracing the absurd Reason turned to abstraction Drowned in the shallowest of waters Forgotten the will To learn Abandoned every urge to Create Every border can be breached By the glorious armies of united perfection Marching forth Aiming low A thirst to kill Defending the nothingness Forsaken The unborn learns to hate Navigation towards destruction Letting our ideals slowly rot And thus... Thus we choose To die... Die with pride And innocence... We became the heralds Born and raised to preach And to erase all traces Of the abstract and evil Swords... Temples... Fires... Doom... We failed to see what we fed The serpent of the deeps It grew and strangled the truths We were embracing the lies We once could see its eyes The stare of death and deceit We feared not, the secrets we knew The guardian of the deeps Lost... And the darkness will prevail Forever... Folding hands with clouded sight Ceremonial rituals will obscure the mind Forever... Lost... And turning blossom to decay Forever... Fighting wars with clouded sight Ceremonial rituals will obscure the mind Forever... |

Finding the truth doesn’t mean there’s an answer. Who would have thought? It seems worthless, there’s no end to the travesty, idiocy. It would seem I’ve arrived at the meeting point between then and now. A different place, the past is alive and the future’s now. I can not tolerate being held in the dark, I need to see, I will the flames. Expanding light from within a cube of darkness, I need to see, I will the flames. I found myself crawling, looking for an "out", and made the gap no longer closed anymore because my signs are burning. Burning the veil, killing our idols, scarring ourselves as well Necessity, carer/killer, we’re all gonna see We weren’t prepared! I can not tolerate being held in the dark, I need to see, I will the flames. Expanding light from within a cube of darkness, I need to see, I will the flames. I found myself crawling, looking for an "out", and made the gap no longer closed anymore because my signs are burning. Burning the veil, killing our idols, scarring ourselves as well Necessity, carer/killer, we’re all gonna see We weren’t prepared! Grasping the liquid glass, shaping my own sight. Stare at the sun, absorbing death. Reach into the well where father laid his eyes! |

Approaching life from the seeds of time. Cosmic pulse, aeons of chaos. Feel the flames, the streams of life below. Feel the flames that blinds your inner eye. Seek and find what lingers deep inside. Seek and find but do not try to understand. Spread the wings and fly into your mind. Spread the wings and find the eagle in the sky. Find the source, the ancient passion play. Find the source, the roots of the mountain. Hark, men of faith! Where were you when your children bled to death? Listen, men of law! Where were you when the mothers were slain? Feel the flames, the streams of life below. Feel the flames that blind your inner eye. Seek and find what lingers deep inside. Seek and find but do not try to understand. Hark, men of faith! When you set fire to the fields the grass grew stronger. Listen, men of law! When you turned from life the flames endured. Leave order, the fiend of the earth. The self is all you’ve got! Enter life on the waves from the void, behold the ancient roots. And the battles shall forever go on, with peace comes our certain doom. The mother will love as she hates. Where there is life, you will die! Approaching life, aeons of chaos! Feel the flames, the streams of life below. Feel the flames that blinds your inner eye. Seek and find what lingers deep inside. Seek and find but do not try to understand. Spread the wings and fly into your mind. Spread the wings and find the eagle in the sky. Find the source, the ancient passion play. Find the source, the roots of the mountain. |

Your arms, life and death Ride the chariot, the wheel of life Underneath the eyes we pray Seven horses running in circles until the end of days Above the wonders of man, sailing the cosmic seas Risen from the darkness to rule the ancient world Never to return, the eyes will forever shine on Omniscient, glorious - the all seeing eye Malign, burning grace All rise! The seeds you will bring Sons of man, bow in awe Omnipotent, Lumina Titan In the havens you greeted us Late is the hour you submerge Endless travel towards the dawn Hail the flames inside you, cosmic flowers in bloom Hail the spears impaling, the servants of doom Given are the truths, together we shall search Unveiling the riddles, hidden beneath the stones Left is an ancient entity Ready to sacrifice, what we may (have) achieved Ending a journey with no end Defying the ones drowned in salvation Letting the forces roam free A circle fulfilled |

Forsaken Entombed in monumental self-moral Embracing the absurd Reason turned to abstraction Drowned in the shallowest of waters Forgotten the will To learn Abandoned every urge to Create Every border can be breached By the glorious armies of united perfection Marching forth Aiming low A thirst to kill Defending the nothingness Forsaken The unborn learns to hate Navigation towards destruction Letting our ideals slowly rot And thus... Thus we choose To die... Die with pride And innocence... We became the heralds Born and raised to preach And to erase all traces Of the abstract and evil Swords... Temples... Fires... Doom... We failed to see what we fed The serpent of the deeps It grew and strangled the truths We were embracing the lies We once could see its eyes The stare of death and deceit We feared not, the secrets we knew The guardian of the deeps Lost... And the darkness will prevail Forever... Folding hands with clouded sight Ceremonial rituals will obscure the mind Forever... Lost... And turning blossom to decay Forever... Fighting wars with clouded sight Ceremonial rituals will obscure the mind Forever... |

1. | Thoughts like Hammers | 09:30 | Show lyrics |
Celestial buried mind resting, resting without peace still. Don’t know where I drowned Cornered and defeated. Yes, there’s a thought forming! Patterns in the currents, mud-dwellers at the star-floor. Nourishment for the mind seeps, harvest through suffering absorbed in desperation. Assimilated logic, drawn towards the ladders. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Instinctive destruction sparked. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Knowing only my own dissent. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Static is the common language. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Celestial buried mind resting, resting without peace still. Assimilated logic, drawn towards the ladders. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Instinctive destruction sparked. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Knowing only my own dissent. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Static is the common language. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Motion remains our mothertongue, failure might not be what it seems. All is broken for a reason, familiar blood drawn for painting. Willing another perspective, flashing scenes seeing children above. Knowing there will be another life, sacrificing remnants of the past. Walking all on my own forever, the illusion no longer needed. It is spoken without words of doubt. Now we move the stars above, below. And dwell beneath the layers of dirt, my runic patterns in the current. My runic patterns in the current! Motion remains our mothertongue, failure might not be what it seems. All is broken for a reason, familiar blood drawn for painting. Willing another perspective, flashing scenes seeing children above. |

2. | Death in the Eyes of Dawn | 08:17 | Show lyrics |
The creation I can’t remember, unsecure I roam in fear. The final steps I’ve taken, what waits beyond this void? "I sucked out your lifeblood, tore down your fortress. Burned down the woods, I poisoned your harvest!" Trust and hope I have lost I see death in the eyes of dawn, deceit forged in the darkened depths of the womb. Seeds of betrayal planted in rotten soil. The ground swells, it’s the end. I see the face of the dead God. Legions of the dead invading our realm, forever deaf to the distant warning. Blinded are my eyes, tied are my hands. Sleeping wide awake, got lost within myself. I followed all the paths, rigtheous in my heart. Slept without the dreams, got lost within myself. When will I remember? When will I hear the call? When shall my forces gather? When shall my battle begin? "I’ve insulted your life since birth, you have never seen my true face. You failed to realize I’m your kin, I infected your mind when you smiled!" Awake! The grip of anxiety shall strangle the brave no more. The son of earth and wind shall guide us in our wake. "You might hear the horn resound, you might summon back your King. As long as you love I will hate, as long as you breed I will kill!" Blinded are my eyes, tied are my hands. Sleeping wide awake, got lost within myself. I followed all the paths, rigtheous in my heart. Slept without the dreams, got lost within myself. |

Your arms, life and death Ride the chariot, the wheel of life Underneath the eyes we pray Seven horses running in circles until the end of days Above the wonders of man, sailing the cosmic seas Risen from the darkness to rule the ancient world Never to return, the eyes will forever shine on Omniscient, glorious - the all seeing eye Malign, burning grace All rise! The seeds you will bring Sons of man, bow in awe Omnipotent, Lumina Titan In the havens you greeted us Late is the hour you submerge Endless travel towards the dawn Hail the flames inside you, cosmic flowers in bloom Hail the spears impaling, the servants of doom Given are the truths, together we shall search Unveiling the riddles, hidden beneath the stones Left is an ancient entity Ready to sacrifice, what we may (have) achieved Ending a journey with no end Defying the ones drowned in salvation Letting the forces roam free A circle fulfilled |

Celestial buried mind resting, resting without peace still. Don’t know where I drowned Cornered and defeated. Yes, there’s a thought forming! Patterns in the currents, mud-dwellers at the star-floor. Nourishment for the mind seeps, harvest through suffering absorbed in desperation. Assimilated logic, drawn towards the ladders. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Instinctive destruction sparked. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Knowing only my own dissent. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Static is the common language. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Celestial buried mind resting, resting without peace still. Assimilated logic, drawn towards the ladders. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Instinctive destruction sparked. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Knowing only my own dissent. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Static is the common language. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Motion remains our mothertongue, failure might not be what it seems. All is broken for a reason, familiar blood drawn for painting. Willing another perspective, flashing scenes seeing children above. Knowing there will be another life, sacrificing remnants of the past. Walking all on my own forever, the illusion no longer needed. It is spoken without words of doubt. Now we move the stars above, below. And dwell beneath the layers of dirt, my runic patterns in the current. My runic patterns in the current! Motion remains our mothertongue, failure might not be what it seems. All is broken for a reason, familiar blood drawn for painting. Willing another perspective, flashing scenes seeing children above. |

2. | Death in the Eyes of Dawn | 08:17 | Show lyrics |
The creation I can’t remember, unsecure I roam in fear. The final steps I’ve taken, what waits beyond this void? "I sucked out your lifeblood, tore down your fortress. Burned down the woods, I poisoned your harvest!" Trust and hope I have lost I see death in the eyes of dawn, deceit forged in the darkened depths of the womb. Seeds of betrayal planted in rotten soil. The ground swells, it’s the end. I see the face of the dead God. Legions of the dead invading our realm, forever deaf to the distant warning. Blinded are my eyes, tied are my hands. Sleeping wide awake, got lost within myself. I followed all the paths, rigtheous in my heart. Slept without the dreams, got lost within myself. When will I remember? When will I hear the call? When shall my forces gather? When shall my battle begin? "I’ve insulted your life since birth, you have never seen my true face. You failed to realize I’m your kin, I infected your mind when you smiled!" Awake! The grip of anxiety shall strangle the brave no more. The son of earth and wind shall guide us in our wake. "You might hear the horn resound, you might summon back your King. As long as you love I will hate, as long as you breed I will kill!" Blinded are my eyes, tied are my hands. Sleeping wide awake, got lost within myself. I followed all the paths, rigtheous in my heart. Slept without the dreams, got lost within myself. |

Finding the truth doesn’t mean there’s an answer. Who would have thought? It seems worthless, there’s no end to the travesty, idiocy. It would seem I’ve arrived at the meeting point between then and now. A different place, the past is alive and the future’s now. I can not tolerate being held in the dark, I need to see, I will the flames. Expanding light from within a cube of darkness, I need to see, I will the flames. I found myself crawling, looking for an "out", and made the gap no longer closed anymore because my signs are burning. Burning the veil, killing our idols, scarring ourselves as well Necessity, carer/killer, we’re all gonna see We weren’t prepared! I can not tolerate being held in the dark, I need to see, I will the flames. Expanding light from within a cube of darkness, I need to see, I will the flames. I found myself crawling, looking for an "out", and made the gap no longer closed anymore because my signs are burning. Burning the veil, killing our idols, scarring ourselves as well Necessity, carer/killer, we’re all gonna see We weren’t prepared! Grasping the liquid glass, shaping my own sight. Stare at the sun, absorbing death. Reach into the well where father laid his eyes! |

Approaching life from the seeds of time. Cosmic pulse, aeons of chaos. Feel the flames, the streams of life below. Feel the flames that blinds your inner eye. Seek and find what lingers deep inside. Seek and find but do not try to understand. Spread the wings and fly into your mind. Spread the wings and find the eagle in the sky. Find the source, the ancient passion play. Find the source, the roots of the mountain. Hark, men of faith! Where were you when your children bled to death? Listen, men of law! Where were you when the mothers were slain? Feel the flames, the streams of life below. Feel the flames that blind your inner eye. Seek and find what lingers deep inside. Seek and find but do not try to understand. Hark, men of faith! When you set fire to the fields the grass grew stronger. Listen, men of law! When you turned from life the flames endured. Leave order, the fiend of the earth. The self is all you’ve got! Enter life on the waves from the void, behold the ancient roots. And the battles shall forever go on, with peace comes our certain doom. The mother will love as she hates. Where there is life, you will die! Approaching life, aeons of chaos! Feel the flames, the streams of life below. Feel the flames that blinds your inner eye. Seek and find what lingers deep inside. Seek and find but do not try to understand. Spread the wings and fly into your mind. Spread the wings and find the eagle in the sky. Find the source, the ancient passion play. Find the source, the roots of the mountain. |

Seeds of betrayal planted in rotten soil. The ground swells, it’s the end. I see the face of the dead God. Legions of the dead invading our realm, forever deaf to the distant warning. Blinded are my eyes, tied are my hands. Sleeping wide awake, got lost within myself. I followed all the paths, rigtheous in my heart. Slept without the dreams, got lost within myself. When will I remember? When will I hear the call? When shall my forces gather? When shall my battle begin? "I’ve insulted your life since birth, you have never seen my true face. You failed to realize I’m your kin, I infected your mind when you smiled!" Awake! The grip of anxiety shall strangle the brave no more. The son of earth and wind shall guide us in our wake. "You might hear the horn resound, you might summon back your King. As long as you love I will hate, as long as you breed I will kill!" Blinded are my eyes, tied are my hands. Sleeping wide awake, got lost within myself. I followed all the paths, rigtheous in my heart. Slept without the dreams, got lost within myself. |

Finding the truth doesn’t mean there’s an answer. Who would have thought? It seems worthless, there’s no end to the travesty, idiocy. It would seem I’ve arrived at the meeting point between then and now. A different place, the past is alive and the future’s now. I can not tolerate being held in the dark, I need to see, I will the flames. Expanding light from within a cube of darkness, I need to see, I will the flames. I found myself crawling, looking for an "out", and made the gap no longer closed anymore because my signs are burning. Burning the veil, killing our idols, scarring ourselves as well Necessity, carer/killer, we’re all gonna see We weren’t prepared! I can not tolerate being held in the dark, I need to see, I will the flames. Expanding light from within a cube of darkness, I need to see, I will the flames. I found myself crawling, looking for an "out", and made the gap no longer closed anymore because my signs are burning. Burning the veil, killing our idols, scarring ourselves as well Necessity, carer/killer, we’re all gonna see We weren’t prepared! Grasping the liquid glass, shaping my own sight. Stare at the sun, absorbing death. Reach into the well where father laid his eyes! |

Approaching life from the seeds of time. Cosmic pulse, aeons of chaos. Feel the flames, the streams of life below. Feel the flames that blinds your inner eye. Seek and find what lingers deep inside. Seek and find but do not try to understand. Spread the wings and fly into your mind. Spread the wings and find the eagle in the sky. Find the source, the ancient passion play. Find the source, the roots of the mountain. Hark, men of faith! Where were you when your children bled to death? Listen, men of law! Where were you when the mothers were slain? Feel the flames, the streams of life below. Feel the flames that blind your inner eye. Seek and find what lingers deep inside. Seek and find but do not try to understand. Hark, men of faith! When you set fire to the fields the grass grew stronger. Listen, men of law! When you turned from life the flames endured. Leave order, the fiend of the earth. The self is all you’ve got! Enter life on the waves from the void, behold the ancient roots. And the battles shall forever go on, with peace comes our certain doom. The mother will love as she hates. Where there is life, you will die! Approaching life, aeons of chaos! Feel the flames, the streams of life below. Feel the flames that blinds your inner eye. Seek and find what lingers deep inside. Seek and find but do not try to understand. Spread the wings and fly into your mind. Spread the wings and find the eagle in the sky. Find the source, the ancient passion play. Find the source, the roots of the mountain. |

Your arms, life and death Ride the chariot, the wheel of life Underneath the eyes we pray Seven horses running in circles until the end of days Above the wonders of man, sailing the cosmic seas Risen from the darkness to rule the ancient world Never to return, the eyes will forever shine on Omniscient, glorious - the all seeing eye Malign, burning grace All rise! The seeds you will bring Sons of man, bow in awe Omnipotent, Lumina Titan In the havens you greeted us Late is the hour you submerge Endless travel towards the dawn Hail the flames inside you, cosmic flowers in bloom Hail the spears impaling, the servants of doom Given are the truths, together we shall search Unveiling the riddles, hidden beneath the stones Left is an ancient entity Ready to sacrifice, what we may (have) achieved Ending a journey with no end Defying the ones drowned in salvation Letting the forces roam free A circle fulfilled |

Celestial buried mind resting, resting without peace still. Don’t know where I drowned Cornered and defeated. Yes, there’s a thought forming! Patterns in the currents, mud-dwellers at the star-floor. Nourishment for the mind seeps, harvest through suffering absorbed in desperation. Assimilated logic, drawn towards the ladders. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Instinctive destruction sparked. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Knowing only my own dissent. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Static is the common language. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Celestial buried mind resting, resting without peace still. Assimilated logic, drawn towards the ladders. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Instinctive destruction sparked. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Knowing only my own dissent. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Static is the common language. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Motion remains our mothertongue, failure might not be what it seems. All is broken for a reason, familiar blood drawn for painting. Willing another perspective, flashing scenes seeing children above. Knowing there will be another life, sacrificing remnants of the past. Walking all on my own forever, the illusion no longer needed. It is spoken without words of doubt. Now we move the stars above, below. And dwell beneath the layers of dirt, my runic patterns in the current. My runic patterns in the current! Motion remains our mothertongue, failure might not be what it seems. All is broken for a reason, familiar blood drawn for painting. Willing another perspective, flashing scenes seeing children above. |

Nourishment for the mind seeps, harvest through suffering absorbed in desperation. Assimilated logic, drawn towards the ladders. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Instinctive destruction sparked. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Knowing only my own dissent. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Static is the common language. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Celestial buried mind resting, resting without peace still. Assimilated logic, drawn towards the ladders. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Instinctive destruction sparked. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Knowing only my own dissent. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Static is the common language. Elucidated, burned, afraid! Motion remains our mothertongue, failure might not be what it seems. All is broken for a reason, familiar blood drawn for painting. Willing another perspective, flashing scenes seeing children above. Knowing there will be another life, sacrificing remnants of the past. Walking all on my own forever, the illusion no longer needed. It is spoken without words of doubt. Now we move the stars above, below. And dwell beneath the layers of dirt, my runic patterns in the current. My runic patterns in the current! Motion remains our mothertongue, failure might not be what it seems. All is broken for a reason, familiar blood drawn for painting. Willing another perspective, flashing scenes seeing children above. |

The creation I can’t remember, unsecure I roam in fear. The final steps I’ve taken, what waits beyond this void? "I sucked out your lifeblood, tore down your fortress. Burned down the woods, I poisoned your harvest!" Trust and hope I have lost I see death in the eyes of dawn, deceit forged in the darkened depths of the womb. Seeds of betrayal planted in rotten soil. The ground swells, it’s the end. I see the face of the dead God. Legions of the dead invading our realm, forever deaf to the distant warning. Blinded are my eyes, tied are my hands. Sleeping wide awake, got lost within myself. I followed all the paths, rigtheous in my heart. Slept without the dreams, got lost within myself. When will I remember? When will I hear the call? When shall my forces gather? When shall my battle begin? "I’ve insulted your life since birth, you have never seen my true face. You failed to realize I’m your kin, I infected your mind when you smiled!" Awake! The grip of anxiety shall strangle the brave no more. The son of earth and wind shall guide us in our wake. "You might hear the horn resound, you might summon back your King. As long as you love I will hate, as long as you breed I will kill!" Blinded are my eyes, tied are my hands. Sleeping wide awake, got lost within myself. I followed all the paths, rigtheous in my heart. Slept without the dreams, got lost within myself. |

Finding the truth doesn’t mean there’s an answer. Who would have thought? It seems worthless, there’s no end to the travesty, idiocy. It would seem I’ve arrived at the meeting point between then and now. A different place, the past is alive and the future’s now. I can not tolerate being held in the dark, I need to see, I will the flames. Expanding light from within a cube of darkness, I need to see, I will the flames. I found myself crawling, looking for an "out", and made the gap no longer closed anymore because my signs are burning. Burning the veil, killing our idols, scarring ourselves as well Necessity, carer/killer, we’re all gonna see We weren’t prepared! I can not tolerate being held in the dark, I need to see, I will the flames. Expanding light from within a cube of darkness, I need to see, I will the flames. I found myself crawling, looking for an "out", and made the gap no longer closed anymore because my signs are burning. Burning the veil, killing our idols, scarring ourselves as well Necessity, carer/killer, we’re all gonna see We weren’t prepared! Grasping the liquid glass, shaping my own sight. Stare at the sun, absorbing death. Reach into the well where father laid his eyes! |

Approaching life from the seeds of time. Cosmic pulse, aeons of chaos. Feel the flames, the streams of life below. Feel the flames that blinds your inner eye. Seek and find what lingers deep inside. Seek and find but do not try to understand. Spread the wings and fly into your mind. Spread the wings and find the eagle in the sky. Find the source, the ancient passion play. Find the source, the roots of the mountain. Hark, men of faith! Where were you when your children bled to death? Listen, men of law! Where were you when the mothers were slain? Feel the flames, the streams of life below. Feel the flames that blind your inner eye. Seek and find what lingers deep inside. Seek and find but do not try to understand. Hark, men of faith! When you set fire to the fields the grass grew stronger. Listen, men of law! When you turned from life the flames endured. Leave order, the fiend of the earth. The self is all you’ve got! Enter life on the waves from the void, behold the ancient roots. And the battles shall forever go on, with peace comes our certain doom. The mother will love as she hates. Where there is life, you will die! Approaching life, aeons of chaos! Feel the flames, the streams of life below. Feel the flames that blinds your inner eye. Seek and find what lingers deep inside. Seek and find but do not try to understand. Spread the wings and fly into your mind. Spread the wings and find the eagle in the sky. Find the source, the ancient passion play. Find the source, the roots of the mountain. |

Facing fear, facing birth The emptiness, the void, the dreams Unfold Burning shrouds, the air is cold The memories of time and space Unknown Sleeping tight in rising flames A mind evokes, the self returns Unhurt Seeing life, through the clouds Abandoning the womb, a seed Untouched Like a sea of hope Assembling forces of old By the betrayer’s funeral pyre Building with fire! Like a field with endless harvest The first breath we take Uruz awakes, reaching higher Building with fire! Like a hammer of thoughts Our minds reborn What the inner I desire Building with fire! Come and feel the silence Come and watch the sun Come and bid farewell Tales will be told Tales will be ignored Tales will once again destroy Facing fear, facing birth The emptiness, the void, the dreams Unfold Burning shrouds, the air is cold The memories of time and space Unknown Sleeping tight in rising flames A mind evokes, the self returns Unhurt A picture from a dream forms a destiny The circle of life bound to be broken The gods cannot elude the pain A path in time built with fire Facing fear, facing birth The emptiness, the void, the dreams Unfold Burning shrouds, the air is cold The memories of time and space Unknown Sleeping tight in rising flames A mind evokes, the self returns Unhurt Seeing life, through the clouds Abandoning the womb, a seed Untouched |

The age of the wolf is the age of the sword Son of the earth, father of despair, lurking And ever searching to end his thirst Strength reborn in the streams of cold blood Son of the earth, father of rage, hiding beneath And ever smiling when the seed is planted Hate paving the streets of gold Long gone is the golden grace Feeble beats from a frozen heart Now glowing eyes in the pale face The blind man cries in vain Long gone is the light of day Searching the borders of sanity The children of tomorrow they slay Their spirits entombed in rotten soil Son of the earth, father of anxiety, amongst us And ever telling the tales of the righteous Licking drops of sorrow from the lake of tears Son of the earth, father of treason, envy the beauty And ever embracing the desperation Hiding from the moonbeams, afraid to face the wrath Wandering down the icy path The sun is dying The mother is crying No sadness found in the jester’s face The sun is dying The mother is crying Long gone is the golden grace Feeble beats from a frozen heart Now glowing eyes in the pale face The blind man cries in vain Long gone is the light of day Searching the borders of sanity The children of tomorrow they slay Their spirits entombed in rotten soil The winter is closing in Like the grip of a war within Absence of light turning flesh to stone A cosmic war and you stand alone Brother killing brother Tales of honor becoming myth History written with axes and blood The wolf is howling at the gate Bræðr munu berjask (Ok at) bönum verðask, Munu systrungar Sifjum spilla Leika Míms synir (En) mjötuðr kyndisk At inu galla Gjallarhorni Skelfr Yggdrasils Askr standandi Ymr it aldna tré Hræðask allir (Á helvegum) (Áðr Surtar þann Sefi of gleypir Wandering down the icy path The sun is dying Silent tears won’t bring him back No sadness found in the jester’s face The mother is crying Breach the walls, relieve the pain, or be left in one thousand years of rain |

Dagaz! There is no end Around and further Into the distance In times found A secret key The feather light astral beauty Outside the realm of thoughts Within the reach of certain dreams Spun from golden leaves of black holes And ancient thread Across the dimensional dome Above the lone runner A burst of all things bright All things bright and beautiful No more longing In the flickering of the present Travel across the ocean of times In the flickering of the present Travel across the ocean of times In the flickering of the present Travel across the ocean of times In the flickering of the present Travel across the ocean of times The giants of the night side wade Silently through the sea Crossing through a singular point Opened by runic Penetration Standing by the sea, I wonder Alas, my aching heart We have come to dissolve the shackles So that we might live and breathe In all our times In the flickering of the present Travel across the ocean of times In the flickering of the present Travel across the ocean of times In the flickering of the present Travel across the ocean of times In the flickering of the present Travel across the ocean of times Become the other as yourself All things made Possible All times made Achievable Enter as you leave it all behind Exit through the heart See the endless suns burning The frost that never thaws Rites of stillness In Praise transition Times Rites of stillness In Praise transition Times Awoken from lust less slumber Ice from the eyes Fire from the mind Having found direction In Side the out Side Inside times In Side the out Side Inside times In Side the out Side Inside times In Side the out Side Inside times Dagaz! |

Circling High Above the earth Drew a letter Thought a spear Forgot the yearnings And left myself Broken through the silky skin That separates the times Two eyes closed Night is all around I’ve taken on another form Learning once again to speak Growing forth a shadow heart No less beautiful I hammer not for building But for Breaking the glass For bending the passing of days To the deeper will In the mind-hive I can hear you dream In the mind-hive It’s so quiet up here Fractals gone I can see your face Fractals gone No need to move In the mind-hive I can hear you dream In the mind-hive I’ts so quiet up here Then I’ll see but the one Circling high Above the earth Drew a letter Thought a spear Forgot the yearnings And left myself Broken through the silky skin That separate the times Then I’ll see but the one Circling High Above the earth Drew a letter Thought a spear Two eyes closed Night is all around |

Facing fear, facing birth The emptiness, the void, the dreams Unfold Burning shrouds, the air is cold The memories of time and space Unknown Sleeping tight in rising flames A mind evokes, the self returns Unhurt Seeing life, through the clouds Abandoning the womb, a seed Untouched Like a sea of hope Assembling forces of old By the betrayer’s funeral pyre Building with fire! Like a field with endless harvest The first breath we take Uruz awakes, reaching higher Building with fire! Like a hammer of thoughts Our minds reborn What the inner I desire Building with fire! Come and feel the silence Come and watch the sun Come and bid farewell Tales will be told Tales will be ignored Tales will once again destroy Facing fear, facing birth The emptiness, the void, the dreams Unfold Burning shrouds, the air is cold The memories of time and space Unknown Sleeping tight in rising flames A mind evokes, the self returns Unhurt A picture from a dream forms a destiny The circle of life bound to be broken The gods cannot elude the pain A path in time built with fire Facing fear, facing birth The emptiness, the void, the dreams Unfold Burning shrouds, the air is cold The memories of time and space Unknown Sleeping tight in rising flames A mind evokes, the self returns Unhurt Seeing life, through the clouds Abandoning the womb, a seed Untouched |

Circling High Above the earth Drew a letter Thought a spear Forgot the yearnings And left myself Broken through the silky skin That separates the times Two eyes closed Night is all around I’ve taken on another form Learning once again to speak Growing forth a shadow heart No less beautiful I hammer not for building But for Breaking the glass For bending the passing of days To the deeper will In the mind-hive I can hear you dream In the mind-hive It’s so quiet up here Fractals gone I can see your face Fractals gone No need to move In the mind-hive I can hear you dream In the mind-hive I’ts so quiet up here Then I’ll see but the one Circling high Above the earth Drew a letter Thought a spear Forgot the yearnings And left myself Broken through the silky skin That separate the times Then I’ll see but the one Circling High Above the earth Drew a letter Thought a spear Two eyes closed Night is all around |

Facing fear, facing birth The emptiness, the void, the dreams Unfold Burning shrouds, the air is cold The memories of time and space Unknown Sleeping tight in rising flames A mind evokes, the self returns Unhurt Seeing life, through the clouds Abandoning the womb, a seed Untouched Like a sea of hope Assembling forces of old By the betrayer’s funeral pyre Building with fire! Like a field with endless harvest The first breath we take Uruz awakes, reaching higher Building with fire! Like a hammer of thoughts Our minds reborn What the inner I desire Building with fire! Come and feel the silence Come and watch the sun Come and bid farewell Tales will be told Tales will be ignored Tales will once again destroy Facing fear, facing birth The emptiness, the void, the dreams Unfold Burning shrouds, the air is cold The memories of time and space Unknown Sleeping tight in rising flames A mind evokes, the self returns Unhurt A picture from a dream forms a destiny The circle of life bound to be broken The gods cannot elude the pain A path in time built with fire Facing fear, facing birth The emptiness, the void, the dreams Unfold Burning shrouds, the air is cold The memories of time and space Unknown Sleeping tight in rising flames A mind evokes, the self returns Unhurt Seeing life, through the clouds Abandoning the womb, a seed Untouched |

The mind and the flesh The atom space The deity and mankind The distant nebulae The aeons of death and glory All within the infant’s first breath Onwards to life Onwards to death Onwards to madness Onwards to sense The chalice of daylight The coiling sword The blood of infinity The solar eclipse The instigation of doom All united in timelessness Onwards to create Onwards to erase Onwards to illuminate Onwards to the bridge Every morning as the first Dawning marks the new battle Each nightfall as the last The wounds can heal of mark the end All times in a single heartbeat In circular disintegration In between night and day Lies the shrine of secrets In between mind and chaos Dwells the non-being The mind and the flesh The atom space The deity and mankind The solar eclipse The instigation of doom All united in timelessness Onwards to life Onwards to death Onwards to madness Onwards to sense |

We shall clean the old runes We shall carve them again Wake them friend, into this age Wake them: lead them to the battleground Let them throw their spears Let us join in the dance Fear not the cold-blowing wind Fear not your own king Listen, they sing in victory Listen, the spears hit the targets Behold, as the ground turns red Behold, as the stream runs dry Take the gifts they brought Hold on to what brought you life Feel the flames of hope Feel your wheel of wisdom filling up What they wrote, you must honor What we build, must remain! Kinsmen, we ride out! Kinsmen, we follow the wind! We shall raise the stones again We shall rebuild the temples Kinsmen, look into their eyes! Kinsmen, tear them down! We shall clean the old runes We shall carve them again |

From soar to plague From clouds to imprisonment From wheat to the gallows In dreams of free will Strike Never saw fields Quite like these Never will Never would With open eyes Shut Useless wreckage In the wake Cannot hear the chatter Cannot bear the drag Leave When they saw With what they were left They screamed in fear They screamed for blood Endure Should I build I will build my own Knife and noose In flesh and will Strike |

1. | Building with Fire | 08:10 | Show lyrics |
Facing fear, facing birth The emptiness, the void, the dreams Unfold Burning shrouds, the air is cold The memories of time and space Unknown Sleeping tight in rising flames A mind evokes, the self returns Unhurt Seeing life, through the clouds Abandoning the womb, a seed Untouched Like a sea of hope Assembling forces of old By the betrayer’s funeral pyre Building with fire! Like a field with endless harvest The first breath we take Uruz awakes, reaching higher Building with fire! Like a hammer of thoughts Our minds reborn What the inner I desire Building with fire! Come and feel the silence Come and watch the sun Come and bid farewell Tales will be told Tales will be ignored Tales will once again destroy Facing fear, facing birth The emptiness, the void, the dreams Unfold Burning shrouds, the air is cold The memories of time and space Unknown Sleeping tight in rising flames A mind evokes, the self returns Unhurt A picture from a dream forms a destiny The circle of life bound to be broken The gods cannot elude the pain A path in time built with fire Facing fear, facing birth The emptiness, the void, the dreams Unfold Burning shrouds, the air is cold The memories of time and space Unknown Sleeping tight in rising flames A mind evokes, the self returns Unhurt Seeing life, through the clouds Abandoning the womb, a seed Untouched |

The creation I can’t remember Unsecure I roam in fear The final steps I’ve taken What waits beyond this void? "I sucked out your lifeblood Tore down your fortress Burned down the woods I poisoned your harvest" Trust and hope I have lost I see death In the eyes of dawn Deceit Forged in the darkened depths of the womb Seeds of betrayal planted in rotten soil The ground swells It’s the end I see the face Of the dead god Legions of the dead Invading our realm Forever deaf to the distant warning Blinded are my eyes Tied are my hands Sleeping wide awake Got lost within myself I followed all the paths Rigtheous in my heart Slept without the dreams Got lost within myself When will I remember? When will I hear the call? When shall my forces gather? When shall my battle begin? "I’ve insulted your life since birth You have never seen my true face You failed to realize I’m your kin I infected your mind when you smiled" Awake! The grip of anxiety Shall strangle the brave no more The son of earth and wind Shall guide us in our wake "You might hear the horn resound You might summon back your king As long as you love, I will hate As long as you breed, I will kill" Blinded are my eyes Tied are my hands Sleeping wide awake Got lost within myself I followed all the paths Rigtheous in my heart Slept without the dreams Got lost within myself |

Force open the river’s mouth Do not wait for the pour Go push open The fleshy eyelids Before dawn calls upon us Sound the golden horns Before they scout the gates Go home and build the temples As cognition ignites Speed of thought Motion with purpose Eyes ahead Chasing time Live in dreams more real Than any days of yore Flow, in more ways than one Dance to the discord that be Laugh out loud At the truths left behind Welcome to the place That is not As the flame ignites Speed of thought Motion with purpose Eyes ahead |

Through air Along the path I laid Saw it race by Memories in tow Into the belly of the earth Light of dawn, all alone Char-like shadows, slither away – through water Wounded, burned and without site Not waiting for another night Now headed for the wild Called from afar and within – through soil Leaving lost wars behind Wildfires of need, calm waters of the mind – through thought Battle cries now resounded On a field at the world’s end A clash of gods and giants In the centre of the mind Through emotion Through reality Saw a mound Had to bury Sung for another me Had to do (it), so that I could be One for sight Two for flesh Three were the norns Four corners of the worlds Five the number of a man Six one two and three Seven streams of blood Eight-legged child of Loke |

Fortresses built by idle hands Weapons forged in the shadows Solemn words praise the devoted and brave Stepping on the threshold of the insane -The walls must be breached The branches of the old tree creak The songbird sings it’s elegy The lifetime leaves are turning pale The serpent gnawing and spitting Praising the high king on his golden throne For shelter, harvest and peace Seeking council in the halls of the tyrant Dwelling on the doorsteps of doom -The walls must be breached The branches of the old tree creak The soldier swinging swords The glare in the hearts is fading The serpent feasts with joy Chase the serpent Step on his tail Grant it eyes to behold Grant it wings to expand Grant it thoughts to convey Grant it claws to destroy EIHWAZ/EOH Envision the sacrifice EIHWAZ/EOH Glance into the worlds EIHWAZ/EOH Let the blood heal EIHWAZ/EOH Let it grow, let it rot As certain as birth and death Grief will follow laughter and joy The vermin will return to the lair But the branches will never break -The walls will breach |

(Rune-chants) A clear voice shouted From the bridge between the worlds Hidden among misty peaks A mother tongue forgotten In a realm of dead and night In a realm of light and day In a place I roamed In a void I despised In a maze I strayed In an ocean I drowned The claws were scratching On the journey to the stars Yet not unveiling But words were spoken Two bright eyes stared From behind the sun Yet it stared through thin air A long lost brotherhood The shield was broken In my dreams I awake The reflection danced In my centre I died In a state of non-reality In my astral hours In my daylight sleep The feathers lifted me (Rune-chants) |

I saw a man-shape Within the bone-dome Went to ask who ’twas From the ether-mouth Was told ’twas myself In shape of Mannaz And that it was not quiet But came through in waves These waves can only be seen By the eye-third From the below When the above broke Go stand by the edge The mouth spoke out And separate the words From the noise-stream So many words I saw From earth and the other-world Of the sun, of the Sea Of the Blood and Seed Hindsight into the present The twos of time in harmony The bear dreaming while Hunting prey-flesh while dreaming The sacred knot is tied The mind-knot will hold The shadow bound for ever more Beast and beast, fish and fish I waded out into the stream From both sides The water was space We were time We are time We became again We are once more We will be again |

It was me on that road But you couldn’t see me Too many lights out, but nowhere near here It was me on that road Still you couldn’t see me And then flashlights and explosions Roads end getting nearer We cover distance but not together I am the storm and I am the wonder And the flashlights, nightmares And sudden explosions I don’t know what more to ask for I was given just one wish It’s about you and the sun A morning run The story of my maker What I have and what I ache for I’ve got a golden ear I cut and I spear What else is there? Roads end getting nearer We cover distance still not together If I am the storm, if I am the wonder Will I have flashlights, nightmares And sudden explosions There’s no room where I can go and You’ve got secrets too I don’t know what more to ask for I was given just one wish |

Force open the river’s mouth Do not wait for the pour Go push open The fleshy eyelids Before dawn calls upon us Sound the golden horns Before they scout the gates Go home and build the temples As cognition ignites Speed of thought Motion with purpose Eyes ahead Chasing time Live in dreams more real Than any days of yore Flow, in more ways than one Dance to the discord that be Laugh out loud At the truths left behind Welcome to the place That is not As the flame ignites Speed of thought Motion with purpose Eyes ahead |

3. | Sacred Horse | 08:12 | Show lyrics |
Through air Along the path I laid Saw it race by Memories in tow Into the belly of the earth Light of dawn, all alone Char-like shadows, slither away – through water Wounded, burned and without site Not waiting for another night Now headed for the wild Called from afar and within – through soil Leaving lost wars behind Wildfires of need, calm waters of the mind – through thought Battle cries now resounded On a field at the world’s end A clash of gods and giants In the centre of the mind Through emotion Through reality Saw a mound Had to bury Sung for another me Had to do (it), so that I could be One for sight Two for flesh Three were the norns Four corners of the worlds Five the number of a man Six one two and three Seven streams of blood Eight-legged child of Loke |

Fortresses built by idle hands Weapons forged in the shadows Solemn words praise the devoted and brave Stepping on the threshold of the insane -The walls must be breached The branches of the old tree creak The songbird sings it’s elegy The lifetime leaves are turning pale The serpent gnawing and spitting Praising the high king on his golden throne For shelter, harvest and peace Seeking council in the halls of the tyrant Dwelling on the doorsteps of doom -The walls must be breached The branches of the old tree creak The soldier swinging swords The glare in the hearts is fading The serpent feasts with joy Chase the serpent Step on his tail Grant it eyes to behold Grant it wings to expand Grant it thoughts to convey Grant it claws to destroy EIHWAZ/EOH Envision the sacrifice EIHWAZ/EOH Glance into the worlds EIHWAZ/EOH Let the blood heal EIHWAZ/EOH Let it grow, let it rot As certain as birth and death Grief will follow laughter and joy The vermin will return to the lair But the branches will never break -The walls will breach |

(Rune-chants) A clear voice shouted From the bridge between the worlds Hidden among misty peaks A mother tongue forgotten In a realm of dead and night In a realm of light and day In a place I roamed In a void I despised In a maze I strayed In an ocean I drowned The claws were scratching On the journey to the stars Yet not unveiling But words were spoken Two bright eyes stared From behind the sun Yet it stared through thin air A long lost brotherhood The shield was broken In my dreams I awake The reflection danced In my centre I died In a state of non-reality In my astral hours In my daylight sleep The feathers lifted me (Rune-chants) |

They will sum it all up in a sentence A verdict made by those who know I’m ready to make a commitment I’m willing to make love to concrete Smiles Bruises Smiles Bruises Bars in the womb I hide the dirty minutes under my dirty mattress and they are making me itch My time Is spilt milk My skin is a layer of soot I’m spending my days scrubbing I’m trying so hard to act like nothing happened (no one left to blame) I’m trying so hard to find that fresh, clean smell (no one left to blame) Smiles Bruises Smiles Bruises Bars in the womb I hide the dirty minutes under my dirty mattress and they are making me itch My time Is spilt milk Cruel world sleeps above me Mounting and teasing I am what I’ve done I am what I’ve done I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry |

Fortresses built by idle hands Weapons forged in the shadows Solemn words praise the devoted and brave Stepping on the threshold of the insane -The walls must be breached The branches of the old tree creak The songbird sings it’s elegy The lifetime leaves are turning pale The serpent gnawing and spitting Praising the high king on his golden throne For shelter, harvest and peace Seeking council in the halls of the tyrant Dwelling on the doorsteps of doom -The walls must be breached The branches of the old tree creak The soldier swinging swords The glare in the hearts is fading The serpent feasts with joy Chase the serpent Step on his tail Grant it eyes to behold Grant it wings to expand Grant it thoughts to convey Grant it claws to destroy EIHWAZ/EOH Envision the sacrifice EIHWAZ/EOH Glance into the worlds EIHWAZ/EOH Let the blood heal EIHWAZ/EOH Let it grow, let it rot As certain as birth and death Grief will follow laughter and joy The vermin will return to the lair But the branches will never break -The walls will breach |

(Rune-chants) A clear voice shouted From the bridge between the worlds Hidden among misty peaks A mother tongue forgotten In a realm of dead and night In a realm of light and day In a place I roamed In a void I despised In a maze I strayed In an ocean I drowned The claws were scratching On the journey to the stars Yet not unveiling But words were spoken Two bright eyes stared From behind the sun Yet it stared through thin air A long lost brotherhood The shield was broken In my dreams I awake The reflection danced In my centre I died In a state of non-reality In my astral hours In my daylight sleep The feathers lifted me (Rune-chants) |

Force open the river’s mouth Do not wait for the pour Go push open The fleshy eyelids Before dawn calls upon us Sound the golden horns Before they scout the gates Go home and build the temples As cognition ignites Speed of thought Motion with purpose Eyes ahead Chasing time Live in dreams more real Than any days of yore Flow, in more ways than one Dance to the discord that be Laugh out loud At the truths left behind Welcome to the place That is not As the flame ignites Speed of thought Motion with purpose Eyes ahead |

The mourning Self, center of all The Conqueror, weeping upon the throne Seeing all, yet blind to the realm of dreams Ruling all, yet deaf to the roars from within A god of war assembling an army A god of order, trembling in fear The horse master breaches the branches Riding as wisdom unfolds The rune-wielder lurks in the shadows Riding as the giants behold A warrior’s farewell to armors and spears A shaman hangs from the gallows pole Seeing all, close to the edge of reason Ruling all, on wings above chasms of madness An eye for the power and glory An eye for the pain and despair By the roots far below The Old One spoke At the core of the earth One shall seek Eyes will be blinded And truths will emerge A flight for the thought A flight for the Memory "Du runer finn teikna og tydde stavar, Mykje store stavar, mykje sterke stavar, Som fimbul-tul farga og høge makter maksla Og Ragna-ropt skar" ’Veit du å riste dei? Veit du å råde dei? Veit du å farge dei? Veit du å freiste dei? Veit du til bøn dei? Veit du til blöt deit? Veit du å sende dei? Veit du å slakte dei?’ English Translation: "You find runes drawn and the meaning of staves Very mighty staves, very strong staves, Which the Fimbul-tul colored and high powers shaped And Ragna-ropt carved" ’Do you know how to carve them? Do you know how to council them? Do you know how to tint them? Do you know how to test them? Do you know how to summon them? Do you know how to surrender them? Do you know how to send them?

Two dreams, under the quiet sun Ended long ago, and just begun Moments gone eternally Time is cosmic vanity Preserved in folded spaces vast No distance between "if" and past Now that I am hunting shadows Know that this is the way I chose I need the light you spawn We will live an endless dawn Moments gone eternally Time is cosmic vanity Preserved in folded spaces vast No distance between "if" and past |

The mourning Self, center of all The Conqueror, weeping upon the throne Seeing all, yet blind to the realm of dreams Ruling all, yet deaf to the roars from within A god of war assembling an army A god of order, trembling in fear The horse master breaches the branches Riding as wisdom unfolds The rune-wielder lurks in the shadows Riding as the giants behold A warrior’s farewell to armors and spears A shaman hangs from the gallows pole Seeing all, close to the edge of reason Ruling all, on wings above chasms of madness An eye for the power and glory An eye for the pain and despair By the roots far below The Old One spoke At the core of the earth One shall seek Eyes will be blinded And truths will emerge A flight for the thought A flight for the Memory "Du runer finn teikna og tydde stavar, Mykje store stavar, mykje sterke stavar, Som fimbul-tul farga og høge makter maksla Og Ragna-ropt skar" ’Veit du å riste dei?

Two dreams, under the quiet sun Ended long ago, and just begun Moments gone eternally Time is cosmic vanity Preserved in folded spaces vast No distance between "if" and past Now that I am hunting shadows Know that this is the way I chose I need the light you spawn We will live an endless dawn Moments gone eternally Time is cosmic vanity Preserved in folded spaces vast No distance between "if" and past |

When gold blinds I will see beyond the false torches The howling will guide us Walking the plains between worlds When houses fall I will be the pillar in the hail Unmoving, we travel Crossing oceans in mythological dreams When the chains are broken I will watch the sunset of the gods As we fall, we stand still Revealing secrets of the past When it ends I will know the way to the portal We shall descend again Moving in circular infinity When When gold blinds When houses fall When the chains are broken When it ends |

Mennesket vert fødd ut or mørkret Så gløymer ho det Han vik unna det Dei lærer å frykta det Me ber det alle med oss Djupt der nede under havet av tanklar Eit uendeleg mørkre Kor jotnnesteg tordnar i eit omvendt kosmos Ei reise mot eit heile tek mennesket hit Så skuggen kan leie, og lysbæraren Lærer å lytte til det som fødte ho Så den nyfødte guden kan finne Eit språk han allereie kjende Saman stig dei oppatt Inn i verda; no av ekte lys Født om att av mørkret English Translation: Mankind is born from darkness Then she forgets it He shrinks away form it They learn to fear it We all carry it within Deep down below; under the sea of thoughts A never-ending darkness Where steps of giants thunder through an inverted cosmos A journey towards wholeness takes mankind here So that the shadow may guide, And the Lightbearer may learn to listen to what gave her birth So that the newborn god may find a language he already knew Together they rise again Into the world; now of true light Born again from darkness |

The Primeval taurus Offspring of passion Born from illusions of time Dawn faced in icy waters Fertilizing dreams of existence Giving birth, awakening gods Breeding love, the glorious eye Blinded by the cosmic eclipse From the ether rain of chaos The mountain rose to power Behind the shadow of creation The jester laughed At the fields of war and pain Dwells the warlord of disillusion Mocking the will to live Strangling lords and kings |

7. | Flight of Thought and Memory | 06:22 | Show lyrics |
The mourning Self, center of all The Conqueror, weeping upon the throne Seeing all, yet blind to the realm of dreams Ruling all, yet deaf to the roars from within A god of war assembling an army A god of order, trembling in fear The horse master breaches the branches Riding as wisdom unfolds The rune-wielder lurks in the shadows Riding as the giants behold A warrior’s farewell to armors and spears A shaman hangs from the gallows pole Seeing all, close to the edge of reason Ruling all, on wings above chasms of madness An eye for the power and glory An eye for the pain and despair By the roots far below The Old One spoke At the core of the earth One shall seek Eyes will be blinded And truths will emerge A flight for the thought A flight for the Memory "Du runer finn teikna og tydde stavar, Mykje store stavar, mykje sterke stavar, Som fimbul-tul farga og høge makter maksla Og Ragna-ropt skar" ’Veit du å riste dei? Veit du å råde dei? Veit du å farge dei? Veit du å freiste dei? Veit du til bøn dei? Veit du til blöt deit? Veit du å sende dei? Veit du å slakte dei?’ English Translation: "You find runes drawn and the meaning of staves Very mighty staves, very strong staves, Which the Fimbul-tul colored and high powers shaped And Ragna-ropt carved" ’Do you know how to carve them? Do you know how to council them? Do you know how to tint them? Do you know how to test them? Do you know how to summon them? Do you know how to surrender them? Do you know how to send them? Do you know how to stop them?’ |

Eyes of a stranger behold Unreal yet home Hagalaz -Hai Perched High Above Sheltered from the storms Oddly familiar An implosion of swale Thurisaz - Thui Paths through the landscape Yet to be found Hagalaz - Hai Beckons him on Through darkness and beyond The long journey home The Storms of Utgard Beckons him on Realms of outer truths Through the nightside and below The long journey home |

Two dreams, under the quiet sun Ended long ago, and just begun Moments gone eternally Time is cosmic vanity Preserved in folded spaces vast No distance between "if" and past Now that I am hunting shadows Know that this is the way I chose I need the light you spawn We will live an endless dawn Moments gone eternally Time is cosmic vanity Preserved in folded spaces vast No distance between "if" and past |
