1. DEEP CUTTING STEEL

Deep cutting steel is only thing that I can feel
I have no heart, I'm cold as ice
Touch my skin, it's made of tanned leather
Don't be too long, don't roll the dice

You know he is made for heavy duty
The world is mine
He is the strangest that survived

One up, five billions to go
Don't mess around this is my show
Grenade caskade, children cry in the night
I'll give you freedom for the price of your life
Priest of president will give you reason to die.
Just to please them

They call me armour-head and muscle-brain
But soon they're dead
Sweet revenge, my dearest friend
I'm blessed to kill by the priest of intervene
Throughout the world it's a general trend


2. ODIN

As I sit and watch, the centuries pass
In your mortal world below
I might have been forgotten
Pushed away by belief
The weapon of the weak
I see my ravens fly, four eyes in the sky
Searching for brave, strong souls

I'll show you the light
Don't do your lessons without a doubt
What is wrong and what is right?
You have to question everything, or you're out

In these days of terror
Mammon is the lord
His tolls are religion and war
But in my position
I have judgement and wisdom
I'm the ruler of the world beyond
So sweet valkyria
Bring me those who deserve
A resurrection, a life in my world

But the soldier ain't brave
He just does what they tell him to do
As the machine-gun sings
His body leaks in vain

For whom did he fight?
What was his purpose in this wicked game?
What is wrong and what is right?
You have to question everything on you're out

Just follow the light
Don't read the news without a doubt
What is wrong and what is right?
You'll see the truth the day you die


3. IMMIGRANT SONG

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: valhalla, I am Coming!

On we sweep 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 blow.
How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war. we are your overlords.

On we 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


4. ANYWAY BUT BACKWARDS

We're speeding through the crossroads
No time to turn aside
Our steering-wheel is locked on target
The future cannot hide
The last thing we saw
The day we solved the quest for fire,
Was a sign by the road that said:
High speed required !

Faster, faster
Blinded by speed
Faster, faster
Head over heels
Faster! where to?
Forwards!where to?
Chase your headlights!

Can't agree which turn to take
Or tell what difference it would make
On evolution highway there is no time to speak
Anyway but backwards
Must be the direction we seek

Don't know which lane to choose
There are many ways to lose
Revelation, hallucination
True prediction - science - fiction
The driving fuel that forces us on
Is our need to know how it all begun


5. GREG'S SONG

Good morning son - it's time to wake up!
Your sister is already up
It's eight o' clock - no need yet to dress up!
Better take a shower first
Dress yourself - oh no, not the red one!
That goes in the trashcan - Rightaway, yeah!
Comb your hair - before you come in here!
Greggie boy ought to look nice and clean

Oh greg, I beg, my leg hurts!
Oh greg, I beg, my leg hurts!

Moosehead, moosehead
Goosehead, goosehead
Lunchtime, lunchtime
Sorry, we got the wrong refrain

Get started son - finish up your breakfast!
So you have the time to brush your teeth
It's ten to nine - don't you miss that school-bus!
I don't wanna hear no complains today

Home so soon? - hope you didn't skip class!
Now we might as well move the lawn
It's dinner time - your turn to do the dishes!
Homewrok first, and then go right to bed


6. DEAD HEROES

Since the dawn of time, there's been many years
When the tide of progress has lost it's way
Destruction closed it's curtain, we stood proud behind
Our history forgot, fear had made us blind

One thing we recall is those who did us good
Through sacrificial journeys they reached for higher goals
They might have been our leaders, or even our slaves
The thing they have in common, they guide us to new ways

How many songs can we sing 'bout dead heroes
And how many stories can we tell
Still after death they're alive in our memories
They were fighters that never fell

Born in a haze, raised by a mist
Walked in from a thunderstorm, crowned to be a king
Fighting our poverty, raging knowledge
Sailing out for new frontiers, true rewarded glory


7. CALL OF THE WOLF

The moon stares cold, the stars screaming
Through the night I hear them calling
I try my best to get their meaning
But all I get is a sense of falling

Have we forgotten why?
Oh, why?
(Why the wolf do cry)
Won't you cry to me?
Oh, oh, oh!

The moon shines cold, the stars are screaming
In the dark, yellow eyes are gleaming
Foe to priest, but friend to man
Crimes of the cross made their ban

Why can't you set them free?
Oh, oh!
(From falsehoods days are gone
No, no, no!

In the night I hear them calling
Awakening forgotten feelings
Now I understand their meaning

It's the ingenious law
Oh, oh!
(The law of tooth, fang and claw)
The cycle has begun...


8. NORTHWIND

Upon an icy waste he dwells
Where nothing's bad and nothing's good
And nothing's ever told
He doesn't know your christian hell
Flames of evil, whips of pain
He doesn't know that game

Why should we be proud to be
Led by something we can't see
When his bite is so smart, his force so fierce
No question of that he is real

Howling wind, the cry in the night
You don't have to strain to hear his wall
Pagan rite to bring on the rain
Summon the winds and fill our sails

But he knows the taste of sorrow
In his heart, a burning flame
Love is a screaming pain
Calm and still are her names
Dormant beauty is her trade
And it can never fade

As long as he is blowing free
She's forever bound to flee
'Cause his bite is so smart, his force so fierce
Never will their love get sealed


9. EXORDIAL ENLIGHTEMENT

(Instrumental)


10. DAMNED

Will there ever be a sunny day
To light up my confusion
Put my soul to rest
Everything looks so sad

A new day dawn, the sun relievers my awe
But a man stands up
He raise his hands
And claims our souls

We're damned
There is grief within our hearts
We're damned
We from nature had to part
We're damned
Greed for power is our curse
Truth is a misused word

Will he be the saviour
And tell us the truth?
Can I really trust him?
I'm so confused, I'm so confused...

When he raise his hands
(The holy man)
They gather from everywhere
(To take his hand)
Will the sun rise again?
