1. A NORTHWARD EGRESS

(Instrumental)


2. AUTUMN WINDS

Wake the spirit's slumber
Harvest warmth of Summer
When fall begins
Nature changing colors
Apprentice to the Winter's cold
And daunting
The Autumn Gale

Green forests
Clouds are gray
Spirits wander
Warmth astray

Time to leave this place
Soaked and cold
The Autumn Gale
Will bring us home

Far away from here we sailed
With valor we held the gale
That brings us home

High atop the waves
Soaked and cold
The Autumn gale
Brings us home

Golden forests
Skies of blue
Spirits greet us
Warmth inside me


3. VOYAGER

(Instrumental)


4. WINTER LEGIONS

I am of one thousand dead warriors
Face down in the snow
We have come to conquer
To Kill
Destroy
We've come to take your wealth

And the sky shall blanket the sun
And a cold wind will arise
Freezing
Destroying land
It will summon an army of vast power
Midgard will die

To Valhalla

They are the Winter Legions
The eyes of the Earth
They are the Winter Legions
Breath of the North

And a cold wind swept across the land
Destroying all in its path

Now I've become cold and frozen
As we endure this pagan storm
An icy fate I have met
With death I wed
And now this is my last
I won't return


5. THE WALTZ OF KING BIGTROLL

Bigtroll sits upon his throne
Out he lets a trolly groan
To him something is amiss
Until he hears man's music
Down to the village march the trolls
Barging into human halls
Dragging musicians in their wake
They lumber back into their caves

Songs those humans will not play
Before Bigtroll they stand and shake
One grunt from his grubby mane
And the humans those trolls begin to maim

Now those humans are no more
And the trolls begin to bore
Instruments, trolls do take
Troll music, trolls do make

Bigtroll sits upon his throne
Out he lets a trolly groan
For now all the instruments are broke
So it's back to the village they go


6. THE KING'S IRREVERENCE

(Instrumental)


7. ASCENSION

Dusk fog slowly rolls in
Not a sound is heard
A lonely beast wails
Mourning, warning
Night has swept across
The village on the mountainside
Visibility obscured
An eerie aura is around
The last grain of sand has fallen
Ancients stir under cracked gravestones
Seid comes to life in the blackness
War of the heavens has reached earth

The human filth sleeps unaware
Mistaking futile prayers for safety
Nocturne as our cover
Marching steps resonate on soon to be
Shallow graves

A vast view of the valley
Reveals danger ahead
The Vikings arrive
With sword in hand
Blood splatters on the wall
The killings begun
A scream in the night
Marks the chaos among

"We will kill all the sheep
Who turn a blind eye
Their immortal will crumble
Under the weight of our hate"

Attempts to flee are made far too late
The death of man, prepare to initiate
Virgin souls we will violate
Society annihilate
Torture and pain will soon succumb thee
Taking pleasure in killing them slowly
The deities of this land suppressed
Demolish the structure of worship and god-fearing life

He will fall
Along with his race
As Valhalla ascends
To its rightful place
The crusaders forgotten
Eyes turn to Einherjar

Those who accept change
Will be blessed with good fortune
While others cannot assume the same reward

Holocaust of their hope
Cascades into Ragnorak
In agony they cry
As they toil for our enjoyment
