Lyrics

1. HALLS OF THE BRAVE

Lo there do I see my father.
Lo there do I see my mother and my sisters and my Brothers.
Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the Beginning.
Lo they do call to me
They bid me take my place among them in the Halls of Valhalla,
Where the brave may live forever.

Day before we were hundred of men
And now handful is alive
Final charge is approaching
Ready to die for ideals of ours

For eternal glory and fame
Steel is sharpened and quivers full

Let them come and taste our blades
Let the claret sinks the ground
Our scions shall rule the Earth
When we are no longer here

Remember the day of sacrifice
And soon the halls we enter
Brothers of ours shall welcome us
No longer we bleed and no deadly wounds
Ancient fathers ancestors save us of reproach

Rain and mud our feet march through
Even dead we sing of victory

No matter how many died by the sword
Cut and broken still we fight
Injured we stay, out numbered
Flame of eternal Grace
Both hands and teeth as weapon remain
Never we give our lands for free

Crushing bones the song for us
Their tears like river for mill
Trust in their god under our feet
Heathen men without fear
Clash begins
Thou shall have suffering and death

For eternal glory and fame
Steel is sharpened and quivers full

Remember the day of sacrifice
And soon the halls we enter
Brothers of ours shall welcome us

No longer we bleed and no deadly wounds
Ancient fathers ancestors save us of reproach

Rain and mud our feet march through
Even dead we sing of victory

Let them come and taste our blades
Let the claret sinks the ground
Our sons will rule the Earth
When we are no longer here


2. ONCE CAPTURED PRIEST

There was a man
Who thought he was the One
To save the pagan land
He went to the cold north
Full of faith with book and the cross

But the scorn in his eyes had his fate changed

Now in the name of his God
He is to weed out those men
But they were strong enough, he didn’t expect
And soon he was supposed to be dead
Once captured priest who spoke of God
Now he walks towards his doom
And his heart thrills him all

Still the pride in his soul and the hope of salvation

They lead him towards the woods where his destiny awaits
At the place he was blinded by the flesh of the blade of axe
Truth corrupted and false will be put to the test
Step by step his death becomes as sure as his God unreal

He puts his head one the bole and he prays
To the God who left him alone

The edge of axe falling down
Cuts his skin spine and throat
The preacher’s head now lies on the ground
And his body shivers like from cold
The life of his now is gone
And it ended as fast as single blow
That how ends the man who though
His faith is better than our own


3. THE PRICE OF WISDOM

Tormented by horrible dreams
He decided to flee
To hang himself stay for nine whole days
For wisdom to have it received
His spine broke down and then accreted
Life came back to him
First oblation has fulfilled
Soon he will be free

The price of wisdom shall be paid now
The eye and life given as sacrifice

So he threw his spear
It forced into him
Cut and took his life again
Both dead and alive
Soulless he went deep down the tree
Of the world
Second oblation has fulfilled
Soon he will be free

The price of wisdom shall be paid now
The eye and life given as sacrifice

Under the tree the Giant awaits
Ready to take most precious gift
The allfather left eye tears out
And Gives it to him
He throws the eye into the whole
Into the wisdom’s well
Final oblation has fulfilled
Now Oden is free

The price of wisdom shall be paid now
The eye and life given as sacrifice


4. NORD WIND

The noon has come
The Sun Stood up high
No one survived
And no one could hide
The muteness of god
Who watched and cried
He saw the force of pagan blood

Steel blades scroop
And blood paints the ground
No one alive is left behind
Four men march, cutting their way
They seek for blood to make their name

Another day another fight
And second charge strikes on the crowd
No glimpse of fear
Determined their hearts
To rape Christian women
And burn their lands

Mordant scream and smoke over woods
Proclaimed four swordsman
Arrived at you
Immortal they are
No mercy they show
Like four wild winds
They walk and destroy

In Christian lands people believe
Taking Nord Wind as an omen for ill
None of them can’t sleep safe
When their hear marching them in

God of love mercy and peace
Shows his weakness
To the cold of steel
And all deadly wounds
Taken from our swords
Will never be healed
Cause we are at war

Steel blades scroop
And blood paints the ground
No one alive is left behind
Four men march, cutting their way
They seek for blood to make their name


5. WILD HUNT

Thunder from the sky
And bloody rain
Enlighten dark of the night
Tump of eight hooves
Clumps the Earth
Wild hunt has begun

Wild blowing winds
Shows the way
Memory and Thought
Destroying the grace
Flying and searching for a fur
There won’t be salvation

Greedy the wolf
Sniffs the air
Smells coming time
Drools over flesh
Ferocious beast
Darts the chase
No one shall be safe

Devine host comes down the sky
Portends war and bane
The One eyed god
Drives on his horse
And takes tight reins

And so the world
Shall drown in blood
Fire and cold
Will take back
You took from them
You took from me
Revenge will be taken
Painfully

Now is the time
To take out swords
Slay and slash
In the name of Gods
Let their fury
Fulfill my veins
No mercy

Brothers in arms
Stay side by side
As one glorious man
Waiting for order
To start the charge
To strike, crush and burn

We are the ones chosen to take the wild hunt

The all we met
Came our pray
Feed our lines
And hut with us
Glowing eye
Shows the path
Shelter won’t be found

Story tells
That one day
Our gods will
Tramp the Earth
greatest war
No regrets
Ragnarok awaits

Brothers in arms
Stay side by side
As one glorious man
Waiting for order
To start the charge
To strike, crush and burn

We are the ones chosen to take the wild hunt
