Side A
1.	Enthroned - Scared by Darkwinds	06:01	Show lyrics
	Alone in my sinister crypt, I evoke the ancients, I raise my chalice of pure blood sacrificed angels, Towards the moon, and I cry my reading, My sorcellery breeding the infernal awakening. The winds is changed on fire, in a cyclone, The prophets coming from nowhere, Show the eternity paths, The no return ways, Lost in the depth of gloomy forests from the North. The fog of the new moon, Effaces the engraved epitaphs on a medieval tombs, But the accursed winds are rising, Calling the vampires from their sleep, The creatures of apocalypse... ...And it’s throughout, the incessant fire, That the apparition is revealed dark, Surmounted by two large horns, The goat master came more deeply from darkness To punish the profane and reward is faithful... The darkwinds breakout all their rage, Frighten and take away, Blessed souls of the damned, In the domain of abomination I have opened, the gates of chaos, On this alive and holy world... Nobody will e able to close them forever!!! Forever...!!!

2.	Mother Europe	04:39	Show lyrics
	Oh remember the proud Hellenic civilisation The cradle of Europe where it all began Or the Portuguese and Spanish Armada Overwhelming Thy power, a tribute to the south Bruges, Antwerp, Ghent forever in my heart Representing medieval Flemish pride Brave Teutonic, French and English knights Thy shining armour now long vanished Thy glory, however, forever remains Praised be the Scandinavian hordes Once the nightmare of the Christian world I talk not of mercy I talk not of fear The hopeless warriors of a Willing Doom Children of Italia In ancient times "Roma Caput Mundi" De Verenigde Nederlanden, parel van het noorden Belgium and The Netherlands stood as one Mother Europe born from your womb Mother Europe on Your soil shall be my tomb I talk not of mercy I talk not of fear The hopeless warriors of a Willing Doom Oh what that gallant spirit shall resume Leap from Europe’s bank and call Thee from the tomb (Hail to the sons of eastern Europe the Slavonian soul never fades) Blessed are Scotland, Ireland and Bretagne Where the Celtic dream still lives on Shall be my tomb!

	Hear me, ancient forefather (Ambiorix) Honoured be Thy deeds Leading our tribes against the aggressor Outnumbered, a campaign that could not be won (But forever Thy blood in my veins) Gracious Spartan civilisation Eternally blessed Thy war spirit Surrounded by thousands of Persians "Molon lave" a final proud statement (None of thee survived but Thy Hellenic glory is everlasting) Noble was your cause, brave Vercingetorix Sad the day of your sacrifice An example to your Celt tribe Dying in solitude (But Thy soul) forever in my heart Remember the moment Jerusalem fell The shrieks of the conquered, the conqueror’s yell The roofs that we fired, and the plunder we shared The wealthy we slaughtered, the lovely we spared Aris! And Aris shone! Mars! And Mars rose!

4.	Fatherland	07:08	Show lyrics
	When the restless North Sea is trying to gain more land And a merciless west wind steals my breath When the fierce waves are pounding on the beaches Plain as an endless desert Or uttermost vile storms are Teaching my people humbleness Then one can see my land resist There one can see my land fight As gloomy grey skies Cast away the northern sun I turn home.... Always turn home I turn home.... Always turn home And our cities and villages Representing centuries and centuries Seem to drown due to eternal rainfall Or the rivers turn into Gold I turn home.... Always turn home I turn home.... Always turn home Fatherland! I always turn to my Fatherland! Fatherland! Keep on turning to my Fatherland! Fatherland! Always turn to my Fatherland! Fatherland! I always turn to my Fatherland! Our cities seem to drown Due to eternal rainfall I watch the rivers Turn into Gold Under a genial sun When snow capped forests Create visions larger than life Then I realise where I belong My eyes have seen the continents The beauty of foreign civilisations An uncontrollable desire forces me to wander Yet echoes of melancholy and remembering The splendour being mine (make me turn home) Where castles and towers are the sole mountains And father time seems to have less grip Where castles and towers are the sole mountains There my land can be found I turn home.... Always turn home I turn home.... Always turn home Fatherland! I always turn to my Fatherland! Fatherland! Keep on coming to my Fatherland! Fatherland! Always turn to my Fatherland! Fatherland! Always turn to my Fatherland!
5.	Season’s Change (Solstice)	05:35	Show lyrics
	Torches to guide the way To walk the misty paths The forest seems like a shelter On this cold winter night A huge fire is reflecting shadows Of youth and old age As the open place is reached And the elderly take their seats This is the night of the season’s change And a new fire shall be lit A silent moment to remember the deceased (The way our ancestors did) Season’s change Season’s change Traditional music containing the soul of a people On this cold winter night Again a circle completed and rituals more ancient As if the son of God never arrived Memories subconsciously always present Vague visions of past centuries This is the night! When season’s change This is the night! When season’s change The trees seem to whisper their names The wind is full of a thousand voices As if summoned from the past Though no words are needed A tribe will never die! Memories subconsciously always present Vague visions of past centuries Appearing in the mind Images of times we may have never lived Yet oh so present, so divine! This is the night when season’s change

	O Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère ! Oh Thou, the most savage of angels God only judges mild Those who chant songs to his praise Oh Prince of exile... To whom in every tale done wrong (but who) after defeat, always redresses more strong Like a patron saint of Heavens rejected souls Distinctively closer to Humanity Thou art Connected to Mother earth more profound Oh Thou fallen angel of gloom, joyfully I join thy side Even if this means eternal fire, I embrace thy kingdom of night Exile, exile!!!!! Wandering in Thy wastelands Far away from the heavenly autocrat Close to Thee I chose to repose Liberated from God’s wrath Exile!!! A temple raised for the ones like us With plentiful room for science A shelter for creative minds To dream away in silence... Oh Thou fallen angel of gloom, joyfully I join thy side Even if this means eternal fire, I embrace thy kingdom of night

Shattered and mortally wounded On the battlefield they lay Farewell my fellow companions Thy souls have gone away (we shall not behold the green fields nor hear the birds sing in may to defend we have fought and won though with our life we paid) Victory or Valhalla Must again be the rallying cry Ancient pride restored Let the ancient banners fly high Broken hilt in my hands I saw my last break of day Here and now we found our graves Our bodies vultures prey If our folk ever doubts Or their souls have gone astray Then lead the way to this place Where our bones still lay Stand strong with clenched fists Withstand with all thy might Stand strong with clenched fists Until they are silenced right Let the glory shine on thee Lift thy ancient legacy... into light! Lift thy legacy into light, so their spirits will Shine on bright... shine bright! Stand strong with clenched fists Withstand with all thy might Stand strong with clenched fists Until they are silenced... right!!! Victory or Valhalla must be Again the rallying cry Ancient pride restored Let the ancient banners fly high When the cause is noble and justice at thy side To hold what is thine and the fight is right Victory! Last man standing! Valhalla! Last man standing! Victory! Last man standing! Valhalla! Last man standing!

	And the horn called for war! The Franks strike on, their hearts are good and stout Moors are slain, a thousandfold, in crowds Left of five score are not two thousand now No man on earth has more nor better found In chronicles of Franks is written down What vassalage he had, our Emperor (Charlemagne) And the horns...called for war! Marvelous in the battle now and grand The Franks here strike, their good brown spears in hand Then had you seen sorrowing of clans So many a slain, shattered and bleeding man! Biting the earth, or piled here on their backs! The Saracens cannot withstand the attack! And the horns.. called for war And the horns... called for war!!!!!!!! No house stood there but straight Its walls must crack In full mid-day The darkness was so grand And no light was in the land And many said, We in the judgement stand The end of time is presently at hand They spoke no truth, they did not understand ‘t was the great day of mourning for Roliant And the horns.. called for war And the horns... called for war!!!!!!!! Marvelous in the battle now and grand The Franks here strike, their good brown spears in hand Then had you seen sorrowing of clans So many a slain, shattered and bleeding man! Biting the earth, or piled here on their backs! The Saracens cannot withstand the attack! And the horns.. called for war!!!

	Once there sailed the North Sea The North Sea wide and cold A ship heavily loaded With the world’s most precious gold The enemy ship was floating To steal our precious gold Floating on the North Sea Our North Sea wide and cold Our youngest comrade, the bravest of us all Volunteered to sink the boat loaded with gold He jumped into the North Sea Our North Sea, wide and cold Our valiant friend, approached the ship’s hold With his fairest knife he gouged out a hole Down! Down! And down! Down went the boat!! Our valiant friend, approached the ship’s hold With his fairest knife he gouged out a hole Down! Down went the boat!!! North Sea! Swallowed by the waves North Sea! They found their seaman’s grave! North Sea! Swallowed by the waves North Sea! They found their seaman’s grave! But not before a hostile archer Had aimed at our youngest friend Who got hit in the chest and also down he went We pulled him onto deck And on our deck he died A seaman’s grave became his part The message (delivered) to his bride Our youngest comrade In his young pride Now he embraced the North Sea The North Sea as his bride! North Sea! Our comrade young and brave North Sea! Down in a seaman’s grave North Sea! Our comrade young and brave North Sea! Down in his seaman’s grave

	Wir sind Götter (We are gods) Gott ist der Mensch (god is man) Sein ist die Hand die schafft (his is the hand that makes) Sein ist die Hand die verletzt (his is the hand that wounds) Götterdämmerung! We are gods, God is man His is the hand that makes, his is the hand that wounds! As I behold your crucified lord It is pity I feel not a sign of purification And yet it are millions taught by his word Die Götterdämmerung ist hier! (the twilight has come) Die Götterdämmerung ist hier! A universal message of love Lessons for the world to be clear But I sense megalomania in his word Dogmatic, based on fear Die Götterdämmerung ist hier! Die Götterdämmerung ist hier! Like the word taught in that other book By some other prophet born in the East Screaming ‘jihad!!’ Lifes they took On the non believers corpses they feast Not that Jahweh offered the other cheek As he so firmly told his followers to do Too many sacrifices in His name Far too many lies not to look through And here I stand alone in the night No god or master above me Do I suffer from this lack of divinity Faith, my dear friend, can be splendid indeed A force to hold on when the feeble soul bleeds Religion served to the masses Might be a dangerous seed Forced down your throat The last thing a free man needs I walk a lonely path Am I so blind to see? At least I can say my soul is free And my only god is me... We are gods, God is man His is the hand that makes, his is the hand that wounds! We are gods, God is man His is the hand that makes, his is the hand that wounds!
7.	(Ode to Ancient) Europa	04:15	Show lyrics
	(from Gallia to Germania) I still hear the ancient warcry (Roma to Brittania) I still hear the ancient battlecry The great old European heroes, the proud old European names Like snow now melted for sunlight, today their lustre gleams Gone are the great old empires, the proud old names are low That shed a glory over the ancient world, a thou sand years ago But wandering the medieval cities beholding our ancient lands Albion, Saxonia, land of Franks constructed by our ancestor’s hands (from Erin to Caledonia) I still hear the ancient warcry (Ellada to Helvetia) I still hear the ancient battlecry (from Lusitania to Hispania) I still hear the ancient warcry (Mycenae to Macedonia) I still hear the ancient battlecry In the country of our fathers on the land and sea Can you hear a million voices? Thy forefathers summoning thee! Summoning thee! Many centuries ago, beyond the hazy space In Brittany, Eire and Caledonia there dwelt a mighty race Celts they were called, like their holy oaks, they had a giant grace (fierce was the Byzantine empire Spread over the Balkans, Asia, Minor and Greece Combining eastern and western tradition A gateway to the East) Slavonian kingdoms, empires and tribes Defending their ancient lands and rights From invading hordes from the East Thousands slaughtered (fair) men and beast (from Byzantium to Phoenicia) I still hear the ancient warcry (Etruria to Cymru) I still hear the ancient battlecry!!

Lindisfarne, down in flames! Lindisfarne, Odin rides! Lindisfarne, down in flames! Martyrs made Christians fallen in this Pagan attack No relic left untouched Hear the sound of the Norsemans laughter Behold their rise, sacred loot on their back Saint Cuthbert lowering the head The head for Odins sons Lindisfarne, Odin rides! Lindisfarne, down in flames! Odin.... rides over the Nordland again Odin.... rides over the Nordland again! Desecration of the holy island! All heaven and earth were still As if God’s paradise never lost Through Durham monks experienced at high cost Lindisfarne, down, down in flames! Saint Cuthbert lowering the head The head for Odins sons As for now the heathen still prevails Pagan warriors mocking God Witness their fury, hear the victory hails Hear the victory hails!!! Lindisfarne, Odin rides! Lindisfarne, down in flames! Lindisfarne, Odin rides! Lindisfarne, down in flames! Lindisfarne, down, down in flames!
10.	On Golden Fields (De leeuwen dansen)	05:37	Show lyrics
	We ask not the pleasure that riches supply Our weapons shall regain What betrayers must buy Throwing back the invaders Reigning our land and waves And finally teach these nobles What it means to be slaves Far more large in numbers Better armed they came But are it not our cities That these rascals claimed? A victory rather certain They held within their hands But courage, craft and justice Gave us a stronger hand Bloodstained flags Hear our men roar But under foreign rule Bloodstained flags Hear our men roar We shall suffer no more We shall suffer no more! “Het Vlaamse heir staat immer pal Daar ’t winnen of daar ’t sterven zal Alhier, aldaar aan lange lansen De leeuwen dansen, de leeuwen dansen” Oh, land of the Flanders From field to shore Shall view us as victors Oh, land of the Flanders From field to shore Shall view us as victors Or view us no more! For victory was ours against all odds Truly a miracle in a world without gods Bloodstained flags Hear our men roar But under foreign rule Bloodstained flags Hear our men roar We shall suffer no more We shall suffer no more! (I close my eyes. A voice from a century buried by time and dust teaches my ears. And the troubadour sings:) “Het Vlaamse heir staat immer pal Daar ’t winnen of daar ’t sterven zal Alhier, aldaar aan lange lansen De leeuwen dansen, de leeuwen dansen” En de leeuwen dansen…
11.	Dim Carcosa	03:14	Show lyrics
	Black stars shine on the ancient fortified town The sun invisible or since long down? Over the dismal landscape Above Carcosa No sound, only the wind sighed Behind mysterious moons, strange towers hide But even more distant is Lost Carcosa Tales that the Hades will sing Vague stories of a yellow king Must die untold in Strange Carcosa Mysteries hidden by lake Hali’s nebulous depths A presence of bizarre beauty and dread Remains unrevealed In Carcosa Above the desert high Twin suns circle the sky Nevertheless dim still Is Carcosa My voice turns weak, lost is my mind I see, but I am blind And no sign of life in Dim Carcosa

At least I can say my soul is free And my only god is me... We are gods, God is man His is the hand that makes, his is the hand that wounds!

Always turn home I turn home... Always turn home And our cities and villages Representing centuries and centuries Seem to drown due to eternal rainfall Or the rivers turn into Gold I turn home... Always turn home I turn home... Always turn home Fatherland! I always turn to my Fatherland! Fatherland! Keep on turning to my Fatherland! Fatherland! Always turn to my Fatherland! Fatherland! I always turn to my Fatherland! Our cities seem to drown Due to eternal rainfall I watch the rivers Turn into Gold Under a genial sun When snow capped forests Create visions larger than life Then I realise where I belong My eyes have seen the continents The beauty of foreign civilisations An uncontrollable desire forces me to wander Yet echoes of melancholy and remembering The splendour being mine (make me turn home) Where castles and towers are the sole mountains And father time seems to have less grip Where castles and towers are the sole mountains There my land can be found I turn home... Always turn home I turn home... Always turn home Fatherland! I always turn to my Fatherland! Fatherland! Keep on coming to my Fatherland! Fatherland! Always turn to my Fatherland! Fatherland! Always turn to my Fatherland!

Like Me Here Once I led a Life My Home was build...Before the Cruel Water Came May be the Death Fish washed on the Shore With their Cold Eyes Have catched A Glimp - A Glimp.. Of my Forever Lost Village Do I Hear my Ancestors Call? Oh Beautiful and Cruel Lost, Forever Lost - Dark Medieval Times Drowned Land of Saeftinge - Drowned Land of Saeftinge Here Once I could Hear the Bell toll, Here once I had a life, My home was build... Here One can Hear the Call of the Sea Oh y Drowned Land MIJN VERDRONKEN LAND VAN SAEFTINGE... Saeftinge - Saeftinge - SAEFTINGE, Forever lost, FOREVER LOST ...
14.	On Golden Fields (De leeuwen dansen)	Show lyrics
	We ask not the pleasure that riches supply Our weapons shall regain What betrayers must buy Throwing back the invaders Reigning our land and waves And finally teach these nobles What it means to be slaves Far more large in numbers Better armed they came But are it not our cities That these rascals claimed? A victory rather certain They held within their hands But courage, craft and justice Gave us a stronger hand Bloodstained flags Hear our men roar But under foreign rule Bloodstained flags Hear our men roar We shall suffer no more We shall suffer no more! "Het Vlaamse heir staat immer pal Daar ’t winnen of daar ’t sterven zal Alhier, aldaar aan lange lansen De leeuwen dansen, de leeuwen dansen" Oh, land of the Flanders From field to shore Shall view us as victors Oh, land of the Flanders From field to shore Shall view us as victors Or view us no more! For victory was ours against all odds Truly a miracle in a world without gods Bloodstained flags Hear our men roar But under foreign rule Bloodstained flags Hear our men roar We shall suffer no more We shall suffer no more! (I close my eyes. A voice from a century buried by time and dust teaches my ears. And the troubadour sings:) "Het Vlaamse heir staat immer pal Daar ’t winnen of daar ’t sterven zal Alhier, aldaar aan lange lansen De leeuwen dansen, de leeuwen dansen" En de leeuwen dansen...

	Oh remember the proud Hellenic civilisation The cradle of Europe where it all began Or the Portuguese and Spanish Armada Overwhelming Thy power, a tribute to the south Bruges, Antwerp, Ghent forever in my heart Representing medieval Flemish pride Brave Teutonic, French and English knights Thy shining armour now long vanished Thy glory, however, forever remains Praised be the Scandinavian hordes Once the nightmare of the Christian world I talk of not of mercy I talk not of fear The hopeless warriors of a Willing Doom Children of Italia In ancient times "Roma Caput Mundi" De Verenigde Nederlanden, parel van het noorden Belgium and The Netherlands stood as one Mother Europe born from your womb Mother Europe on Your soil shall be my tomb I talk of not of mercy I talk not of fear The hopeless warriors of a Willing Doom Oh what that gallant spirit shall resume Leap from Europe’s bank and call Thee from the tomb (Hail to the sons of eastern Europe the Slavonian soul never fades) Blessed are Scotland, Ireland and Bretagne Where the Celtic dream still lives on Shall be my tomb!

	When the restless North Sea is trying to gain more land And a merciless west wind steals my breath When the fierce waves are pounding on the beaches Plain as an endless desert Or uttermost vile storms are Teaching my people humbleness Then one can see my land resist There one can see my land fight As gloomy grey skies Cast away the northern sun I turn home... Always turn home I turn home... Always turn home And our cities and villages Representing centuries and centuries Seem to drown due to eternal rainfall Or the rivers turn into Gold I turn home... Always turn home I turn home... Always turn home Fatherland! I always turn to my Fatherland! Fatherland! Keep on turning to my Fatherland! Fatherland! Always turn to my Fatherland! Fatherland! I always turn to my Fatherland! Our cities seem to drown Due to eternal rainfall I watch the rivers Turn into Gold Under a genial sun When snow capped forests Create visions larger than life Then I realise where I belong My eyes have seen the continents The beauty of foreign civilisations An uncontrollable desire forces me to wander Yet echoes of melancholy and remembering The splendour being mine (make me turn home) Where castles and towers are the sole mountains And father time seems to have less grip Where castles and towers are the sole mountains There my land can be found I turn home... Always turn home I turn home... Always turn home Fatherland! I always turn to my Fatherland! Fatherland! Keep on coming to my Fatherland! Fatherland! Always turn to my Fatherland! Fatherland! Always turn to my Fatherland!

	Black stars shine on the ancient fortified town The sun invisible or since long down? Over the dismal landscape Above Carcosa No sound, only the wind sighed Behind mysterious moons, strange towers hide But even more sitant is Lost Carcosa Tales that the Hades will sing Vague stories of a yellow king Must die untold in Strange Carcosa Mysteries hidden by lake Hali’s nebulous depths A presence of bizarre beauty and dread Remains unrevealed In Carcosa Above the desert high Twin suns circle the sky Nevertheless dim still Is Carcosa My voice turns weak, lost is my mind I see, but I am blind And no sign of life in Dim Carcosa

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

	On this site of reflection, you came to me as a ghost Near this monument of the fallen, where one hears the sad last post Celebration in the city of Ypres, again a new year was born Not on this place of eternal silence, where quietly souls mourn For time did not matter on this site, of the graveless dead Near the leafless trees, we somehow met On this site of reflection, you came to me as a ghost Near this monument of the fallen, where one hears the sad last post Born in different times, we never knew each other, Born in different times, we never even met But on this night when the world celebrates, believe met: But on this night when the world celebrates, I regret your dead On this site of reflection, you came to me as a ghost Near this monument of the fallen, where one hears the sad last post Thousands of names engraved, poor souls fate did not spare The night was cold, the wind unkind, still wondering what brought me there Born in different times, we never even met But on this night when the world celebrates believe me: I regret your dead Tragic appearance, your uniform torn, your skin full of dirt We did not speak, nor laugh or cry, did not utter a single word We kept an honourable distance, borders of time cannot be crossed As there is between the living, who hold on to live at any cost And the dead, whose lifes and dreams along with their bodies lost Here you appear, probably a trick of the mind that I might have lost
8.	Galilean	04:03	Show lyrics
	A saviour that failed to save, preaching lack of will A cave for a grave, midst convicts on Golgotha’s Hill The coming of a messenger, promises of a holy land Dating back to Pagan days, another son heaven send Crucified Nazarene thou did not bring the light Poisened Mohammed where is your garden of delight? Prophets of Christians and Muselmen, prophets of Hebrews Turn man into lamb, an obeying flock to use Crucified Nazarene thou did not bring the light Poisened Mohammed where is your garden of delight? Holy books cleverly written but by the hand of men Beware of Gods’ messengers and their enslaving pen Guiding lines indeed required or else civilization fails Yet pilate the one condemned in mythical religious tales The worlds most known legends, but no historical facts Devoted mass hysteria, although still evidence lacks Each character in the books of faith an own epic part to play But without Judas no martyr Jesus and did Mohammed not slay? Hail to the lions, hail to the Romans, representing reality Jehovah’s or Allah’s’ chosen ones do not appeal to me Galilean!

Midst the battle the governor fell Fell by his very own hand Romans took their last desperate stand "Future emperor Tiberius, do not cross the Rhine On this natural border Rome should draw its line" Symbol of preservation, of Germania’s freedom Saved the untamed land of the Northern Heathen Emperor Augustus by his loss driven to despair: "Give me back my legions!

Over the dismal landscape Above Carcosa No sound, only the wind sighed Behind mysterious moons, strange towers hide But even more distant is Lost Carcosa Tales that the Hades will sing Vague stories of a yellow king Must die untold in Strange Carcosa Mysteries hidden by lake Hali’s nebulous depths A presence of bizarre beauty and dread Remains unrevealed In Carcosa Above the desert high Twin suns circle the sky Nevertheless dim still Is Carcosa My voice turns weak, lost is my mind I see, but I am blind And no sign of life in Dim Carcosa

	O Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère ! Oh Thou, the most savage of angels God only judges mild Those who chant songs to his praise Oh Prince of exile... To whom in every tale done wrong (but who) after defeat, always redresses more strong Like a patron saint of Heavens rejected souls Distinctively closer to Humanity Thou art Connected to Mother earth more profound Oh Thou fallen angel of gloom, joyfully I join thy side Even if this means eternal fire, I embrace thy kingdom of night Exile, exile!!!!! Wandering in Thy wastelands Far away from the heavenly autocrat Close to Thee I chose to repose Liberated from God’s wrath Exile!!! A temple raised for the ones like us With plentiful room for science A shelter for creative minds To dream away in silence...

	And the horn called for war!

	(from Gallia to Germania) I still hear the ancient warcry (Roma to Brittania) I still hear the ancient battlecry The great old European heroes, the proud old European names Like snow now melted for sunlight, today their lustre gleams Gone are the great old empires, the proud old names are low That shed a glory over the ancient world, a thou sand years ago But wandering the medieval cities beholding our ancient lands Albion, Saxonia, land of Franks constructed by our ancestor’s hands (from Erin to Caledonia) I still hear the ancient warcry (Ellada to Helvetia) I still hear the ancient battlecry (from Lusitania to Hispania) I still hear the ancient warcry (Mycenae to Macedonia) I still hear the ancient battlecry In the country of our fathers on the land and sea Can you hear a million voices? Thy forefathers summoning thee! Summoning thee! Many centuries ago, beyond the hazy space In Brittany, Eire and Caledonia there dwelt a mighty race Celts they were called, like their holy oaks, they had a giant grace (fierce was the Byzantine empire Spread over the Balkans, Asia, Minor and Greece Combining eastern and western tradition A gateway to the East) Slavonian kingdoms, empires and tribes Defending their ancient lands and rights From invading hordes from the East Thousands slaughtered (fair) men and beast (from Byzantium to Phoenicia) I still hear the ancient warcry (Etruria to Cymru) I still hear the ancient battlecry!!

Lindisfarne, down in flames! Lindisfarne, Odin rides! Lindisfarne, down in flames!

10.	On Golden Fields (De leeuwen dansen)	05:37	Show lyrics
	We ask not the pleasure that riches supply Our weapons shall regain What betrayers must buy Throwing back the invaders Reigning our land and waves And finally teach these nobles What it means to be slaves Far more large in numbers Better armed they came But are it not our cities That these rascals claimed? A victory rather certain They held within their hands But courage, craft and justice Gave us a stronger hand Bloodstained flags Hear our men roar But under foreign rule Bloodstained flags Hear our men roar We shall suffer no more We shall suffer no more! “Het Vlaamse heir staat immer pal Daar ’t winnen of daar ’t sterven zal Alhier, aldaar aan lange lansen De leeuwen dansen, de leeuwen dansen” Oh, land of the Flanders From field to shore Shall view us as victors Oh, land of the Flanders From field to shore Shall view us as victors Or view us no more! For victory was ours against all odds Truly a miracle in a world without gods Bloodstained flags Hear our men roar But under foreign rule Bloodstained flags Hear our men roar We shall suffer no more We shall suffer no more! (I close my eyes. A voice from a century buried by time and dust teaches my ears.

	No house stood there but straight Its walls must crack In full mid-day The darkness was so grand And no light was in the land... Fatherland
2.	Exile (Les litanies de Satan)	03:44	Show lyrics
	O Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère ! Oh Thou, the most savage of angels God only judges mild Those who chant songs to his praise Oh Prince of exile... To whom in every tale done wrong (but who) after defeat, always redresses more strong Like a patron saint of Heavens rejected souls Distinctively closer to Humanity Thou art Connected to Mother earth more profound Oh Thou fallen angel of gloom, joyfully I join thy side Even if this means eternal fire, I embrace thy kingdom of night Exile, exile!!!!! Wandering in Thy wastelands Far away from the heavenly autocrat Close to Thee I chose to repose Liberated from God’s wrath Exile!!! A temple raised for the ones like us With plentiful room for science A shelter for creative minds To dream away in silence... Oh Thou fallen angel of gloom, joyfully I join thy side Even if this means eternal fire, I embrace thy kingdom of night

	Last man standing Last man standing Victory! Last man standing! Valhalla!! Last man standing! Shattered and mortally wounded On the battlefield they lay Farewell my fellow companions Thy souls have gone away (we shall not behold the green fields nor hear the birds sing in may to defend we have fought and won though with our life we paid) Victory or Valhalla Must again be the rallying cry Ancient pride restored Let the ancient banners fly high Broken hilt in my hands I saw my last break of day Here and now we found our graves Our bodies vultures prey If our folk ever doubts Or their souls have gone astray Then lead the way to this place Where our bones still lay Stand strong with clenched fists Withstand with all thy might Stand strong with clenched fists Until they are silenced right Let the glory shine on thee Lift thy ancient legacy... into light! Lift thy legacy into light, so their spirits will Shine on bright... shine bright! Stand strong with clenched fists Withstand with all thy might Stand strong with clenched fists Until they are silenced... right!!! Victory or Valhalla must be Again the rallying cry Ancient pride restored Let the ancient banners fly high When the cause is noble and justice at thy side To hold what is thine and the fight is right Victory! Last man standing! Valhalla! Last man standing! Victory! Last man standing! Valhalla! Last man standing!

	And the horn called for war! The Franks strike on, their hearts are good and stout Moors are slain, a thousandfold, in crowds Left of five score are not two thousand now No man on earth has more nor better found In chronicles of Franks is written down What vassalage he had, our Emperor (Charlemagne) And the horns...called for war! Marvelous in the battle now and grand The Franks here strike, their good brown spears in hand Then had you seen sorrowing of clans So many a slain, shattered and bleeding man! Biting the earth, or piled here on their backs! The Saracens cannot withstand the attack! And the horns.. called for war And the horns... called for war!!!!!!!! No house stood there but straight Its walls must crack In full mid-day The darkness was so grand And no light was in the land And many said, We in the judgement stand The end of time is presently at hand They spoke no truth, they did not understand ‘t was the great day of mourning for Roliant And the horns.. called for war And the horns... called for war!!!!!!!! Marvelous in the battle now and grand The Franks here strike, their good brown spears in hand Then had you seen sorrowing of clans So many a slain, shattered and bleeding man! Biting the earth, or piled here on their backs! The Saracens cannot withstand the attack! And the horns.. called for war!!!

	Once there sailed the North Sea The North Sea wide and cold A ship heavily loaded With the world’s most precious gold The enemy ship was floating To steal our precious gold Floating on the North Sea Our North Sea wide and cold Our youngest comrade, the bravest of us all Volunteered to sink the boat loaded with gold He jumped into the North Sea Our North Sea, wide and cold Our valiant friend, approached the ship’s hold With his fairest knife he gouged out a hole Down! Down! And down! Down went the boat!! Our valiant friend, approached the ship’s hold With his fairest knife he gouged out a hole Down! Down went the boat!!! North Sea! Swallowed by the waves North Sea! They found their seaman’s grave! North Sea! Swallowed by the waves North Sea! They found their seaman’s grave! But not before a hostile archer Had aimed at our youngest friend Who got hit in the chest and also down he went We pulled him onto deck And on our deck he died A seaman’s grave became his part The message (delivered) to his bride Our youngest comrade In his young pride Now he embraced the North Sea The North Sea as his bride! North Sea! Our comrade young and brave North Sea! Down in a seaman’s grave North Sea! Our comrade young and brave North Sea! Down in his seaman’s grave

6.	Götterdämmerung (Twilight of the Gods)	04:30	Show lyrics
	Wir sind Götter (We are gods) Gott ist der Mensch (god is man) Sein ist die Hand die schafft (his is the hand that makes) Sein ist die Hand die verletzt (his is the hand that wounds) Götterdämmerung! We are gods, God is man His is the hand that makes, his is the hand that wounds! As I behold your crucified lord It is pity I feel not a sign of purification And yet it are millions taught by his word Die Götterdämmerung ist hier! (the twilight has come) Die Götterdämmerung ist hier! A universal message of love Lessons for the world to be clear But I sense megalomania in his word Dogmatic, based on fear Die Götterdämmerung ist hier! Die Götterdämmerung ist hier! Like the word taught in that other book By some other prophet born in the East Screaming ‘jihad!!’ Lifes they took On the non believers corpses they feast Not that Jahweh offered the other cheek As he so firmly told his followers to do Too many sacrifices in His name Far too many lies not to look through And here I stand alone in the night No god or master above me Do I suffer from this lack of divinity Faith, my dear friend, can be splendid indeed A force to hold on when the feeble soul bleeds Religion served to the masses Might be a dangerous seed Forced down your throat The last thing a free man needs I walk a lonely path Am I so blind to see? At least I can say my soul is free And my only god is me... We are gods, God is man His is the hand that makes, his is the hand that wounds! We are gods, God is man His is the hand that makes, his is the hand that wounds!

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

	On this site of reflection, you came to me as a ghost Near this monument of the fallen, where one hears the sad last post Celebration in the city of Ypres, again a new year was born Not on this place of eternal silence, where quietly souls mourn For time did not matter on this site, of the graveless dead Near the leafless trees, we somehow met On this site of reflection, you came to me as a ghost Near this monument of the fallen, where one hears the sad last post Born in different times, we never knew each other, Born in different times, we never even met But on this night when the world celebrates, believe met: But on this night when the world celebrates, I regret your dead On this site of reflection, you came to me as a ghost Near this monument of the fallen, where one hears the sad last post Thousands of names engraved, poor souls fate did not spare The night was cold, the wind unkind, still wondering what brought me there Born in different times, we never even met But on this night when the world celebrates believe me: I regret your dead Tragic appearance, your uniform torn, your skin full of dirt We did not speak, nor laugh or cry, did not utter a single word We kept an honourable distance, borders of time cannot be crossed As there is between the living, who hold on to live at any cost And the dead, whose lifes and dreams along with their bodies lost Here you appear, probably a trick of the mind that I might have lost
8.	Galilean	04:03	Show lyrics
	A saviour that failed to save, preaching lack of will A cave for a grave, midst convicts on Golgotha’s Hill The coming of a messenger, promises of a holy land Dating back to Pagan days, another son heaven send Crucified Nazarene thou did not bring the light Poisened Mohammed where is your garden of delight? Prophets of Christians and Muselmen, prophets of Hebrews Turn man into lamb, an obeying flock to use Crucified Nazarene thou did not bring the light Poisened Mohammed where is your garden of delight? Holy books cleverly written but by the hand of men Beware of Gods’ messengers and their enslaving pen Guiding lines indeed required or else civilization fails Yet pilate the one condemned in mythical religious tales The worlds most known legends, but no historical facts Devoted mass hysteria, although still evidence lacks Each character in the books of faith an own epic part to play But without Judas no martyr Jesus and did Mohammed not slay? Hail to the lions, hail to the Romans, representing reality Jehovah’s or Allah’s’ chosen ones do not appeal to me Galilean!

	Chill the air, although only september Silent the woods as in deep slumber Here in Germania, slain by Cheruscan hand The glory of Rome has come to an end Gaul on its knees, under Jupiters reign This side of the Rhine, still Wodon’s domain For noble Arminius is Germanic again Romes’ mighty eagle received with disdain Altars erected where three legions stood None escaped oblivion, silent the Teutoburg wood Scattered bodies all over, captured standards as a sign Heads nailed to the trees, symbols of decline Germania! Midst the battle the governor fell Fell by his very own hand Romans took their last desperate stand "Future emperor Tiberius, do not cross the Rhine On this natural border Rome should draw its line" Symbol of preservation, of Germania’s freedom Saved the untamed land of the Northern Heathen Emperor Augustus by his loss driven to despair: "Give me back my legions! Oh Varus, I do declare!"

The Punic God Ba’al-Hamon, the centre of Carthago religion Demanded human burning flesh, in ancient sources is written Whether dark reality or rumours, opinions are divided to this day A clash of titans, the Punic Wars, and Rome made Carthago pay Hannibal shook the Roman World, victory for Phoenicians within reach "Carthago Delenda Est", Cato The Elder’s famous repeated speech "Carthage must be destroyed" Cato stated, a prediction harsh and dire Scipio set the city ablaze, and thus Carthago went down in fire Ancient Phoenician colony, reigning the untamed Sea Formidable fleet built of the iconic cedar tree Inventing an early alphabet, contriving transparent glass Holding the key to purple, rare colour of the Empire Class TANIT!

	Recruited in Ancient Gallia,sole foreign legion Their status quite apart,remaining gauls at heart Legio Quinta Alaudae,named after the solitary Gallic Lark And their crested Gaulish helmets,their destiny oblivious and dark Legio Quinta Alaudae named after the solitary Gallic Lark And their crested Gaulish helmets,their destiny oblivious and dark OH LEGIO QUINTA ALAUDAE THOU ANCIENT GALLIC LARKS ONWARDS INTO LEGEND,THEN PERISHED INTO OBLIVION THOU MARCHED Punished for their loyalty by a usurper,Alaudae promptly revolted against Rome For in their Gallic minds,their oath sacred,regardless the old Emperor’s fall On their shields,a war elephant,a symbol of bravery,the 5th had won For fighting war elephants,first in line,under a burning,African sun In the year of 86,the Legion met their Doom At the battle of Tapae,5000 went down in gloom Their standard and all men perished,on the Legion list so did their name Thus was the end of the larks,now only in Legend they reign OH LEGIO QUINTA ALAUDAE THOU ANCIENT GALLIC LARKS ONWARDS INTO LEGEND,THEN PERISHED INTO OBLIVION THOU MARCHED Oh Legio Quinta Gallica,in Colonia,a tombstone remains

	Life is not a bed of roses Wise words,most will admit Struggles,ordeals in small or heavy doses Final result:decay in a pit From the Cradle to the Grave - THE POWER OF THE WILL From the Cradle to the Grave - WILLPOWER! From the Cradle to the Grave - MIND UNCONQUERED From the Cradle to the Grave - SOUL INVICTUS! How trivial matters indeed can appear Some cling on to causes,others pray in fear,or think not From the Cradle to the Grave - THE POWER OF THE WILL From the Cradle to the Grave - WILLPOWER! From the Cradle to the Grave - MIND UNCONQUERED From the Cradle to the Grave - SOUL INVICTUS! The human intellect,a blessing or a curse Finding inner strenght,turn pain into gain Important is one fought,even if in vain Knowledge,no matter,is relevant to me Yet no peace of mind offered,no man totally free Cultivating self-pity is a way I do detest Face life,face death,is life but a mere test? How trivial matters indeed can appear Some cling on to causes,others pray in fear,or think not From the Cradle to the Grave - THE POWER OF THE WILL From the Cradle to the Grave - WILLPOWER! From the Cradle to the Grave - MIND UNCONQUERED From the Cradle to the Grave - SOUL INVICTUS! Rest assured,solitary minds find no rest Alliances few,lone path,but what is best? The mind blank,the soul of a sheep? Rather walk the path of the Wolf,Soul will not weep From the Cradle to the Grave! From the Cradle to the Grave! Struggles,ordeals in small or heavy doses Final result:decay in a pit MIND POWER! MIND POWER!

	UMBRA SUMUS - WE ARE SHADOWS - UMBRA SUMUS If you lie in hiding and hardly breathe at all You will see grey-clad weaver folk,like shadows on the wall Dim shadows on the moonbeams Of people of old times Come trooping from the attics Salute,talk,advance If you lie in hiding and hardly breathe at all One Day you and I appear like Shadows on the Wall If you lie in hiding and hardly breathe at all You will see iron clad soldiers,like silhouettes on the wall Fierce shadows on the moonbeams Of heroes of old times Salute! In line! Advance! Salute! In line! Advance! IF YOU LIE IN HIDING AND HARDLY BREATHE AT ALL ONE DAY YOU AND I APPEAR LIKE SHADOWS ON THE WALL If you lie in hiding and hardly breathe at all One Day you and I appear like Shadows on the Wall Umbra Sumus - We are shadows - Umbra Sumus If you lie in hiding and hardly breathe at all You will see elegant lady folk,like flowers on the wall Dim shadows on the moonbeams Of wenches of old times Come trooping from the attics Embrace,kiss,advance IF YOU LIE IN HIDING AND HARDLY BREATHE AT ALL ONE DAY YOU AND I APPEAR LIKE SHADOWS ON THE WALL Forgotten shadows on the moonbeams,ghosts longing for past times And you and I come trooping from the attic...Dead,Lost,In Trance

	Yet once more let us look upon the North Sea Behold the lands,where our folk & kin roamed free Ancient echoes from distant valleys,where once afar Elder cults practised in sacred woods,Pagan fires under many a Star Ethics of Valour,codes of Ancient Pride Now long gone,the Archaic Gods in hide Fled seem to have the olden Souls too But if one listens carefully,they might reach through For if one has an olden spirit,a centuries old heart Forgotten Chants might echo,hear the ancient bard Scaldic poetry of runes,of victory and defeat Vague sounds of song,an ancient heartbeat AVONDLAND,IN HET HART GEBRAND OUD GERMANENLAND Alas the Ancients faded,centuries shred a cloud Over what once was,the songs no longer loud AVONDLAND,IN HET HART GEBRAND ZIEL VERBRAND,OUD GERMANENLAND Life no fairy tale,survival of the fittest,true Blood,sweat and tears,battles to pull through Ethics of Valour,codes of Ancient Pride Now long gone,the Archaic Gods in hide Fled seem to have the olden Souls too But if one listens carefully,they might reach through Life no fairy tale,survival of the fittest,true Blood,sweat and tears,battles to pull through But if not for our forefathers there would be none of us Passed on the torch,to the Ancients loyalty thus AVONDLAND! FRANKENLAND! AVONDLAND! FRANKENLAND!
10.	Fatum (Ill Fate/Noodlot)	02:44	Show lyrics
	A merciless Sea dragging you down,while the distant shore almost in Reach Trying to find a way back home,when one’s vessel stranded on a distant Beach Like longing for a beam of Sunlight,in a world of hostile Frost Adam and Eve reaching out for light,when already their Paradise is Lost Finally declaring how great ones Love,while the lovers’ heartbeat faded Away A Terminal patient wishing for Life,but forever gone,yet another Day A poet seeking Eternity,whose talents are drowned in Absinth Wishing for a vast landscape,when King Minos sent you to his Labyrinth At last innocence proven,buit the guillotines’ blade cut a minute too soon Like a Vampire captured by a Midsummer Night,when the Sun banished the Moon A young soldiers broken eyes,gazing at an empty,cold winter Sky Never knowing why,on the Last Day of the War,he had to Die Writing the words to a Poem,composing a Song,that no Soul will hear Standing at Crossroads,never progressing,because all choices shall cost you dear
