1. BROOD OF THE TRICKSTER

Warriors, hear my words

Three are the tales that you now will be told
Three bitter memories of times, foreign and old
Three were my nightmares in which eternity swirled
And three were the children that would ruin our world

So much did the trickster despise his very own kind
In the iron woods he looked and knew what he would find
A giantess, a witch willing to carry his seed
An unholy union was fulfilled, but to where would it lead?

One would rule the oceans where humans swim and get their Fish
One would be strapped to a mountain with a final burning Wish
And one would be thrown to a throne most of us will see
They were prisoners of their time, by ragnarök set free


2. POWERSNAKE

Deep beneath the surface
Lurks a mighty beast
A reptile of the ocean
A viper unleashed
This creature is enormous
With fangs as tall as trees
The wretched spawn of loki
That was banished to the seas

Eyes glowing red in the dark on the ocean floor
As the serpent awakes

Powersnake
You will fade under the shadow of the
Powersnake
The wingless dragon
Storm fiend
Rival of the thunder god
Stronger than all
Powersnake

Driven out by odin
No place to call his home
Cast out to the ocean
To the great unknown
His lust for vengeance rising
With the power of the waves
This dear abomination of a child
Has many names

Lindworm, king of serpents
Girdle of the realm
This guy has nothing left to prove
With size that overwhelms
Jörmundgandr, midgard serpent
Bane of thor
The snake will get his sweet revenge
Come the final war

Eyes glowing red in the dark on the ocean floor
Mighty serpent
Roaring in the deep he's a beast that devours all
And the serpent awakes

Powersnake
You will fade under the shadow of the
Powersnake
The wingless dragon
Storm fiend
Rival of the thunder god
Stronger than all
Powersnake

So elusive and mysterious
Nessie is no match
The only thing in all the seas
Thor could never catch
With scales tough as shining steel
And steel in heart and mind
Across the world and back again
His body he can wind

The powersnake will drag you down
And drown you in his flesh
Beware to swim, and fear the sea
He likes his dinner fresh

Powersnake
You will fade under the shadow of the
Powersnake
The wingless dragon
Storm fiend
Rival of the thunder god
Stronger than all
Powersnake


3. HEL

Deya
Grima

Far to the north
Through the ice and snow
There's a realm in the dark of the underground
Hidden deep below
Where we all must go
Is the land of the dead and the frozen

Master of the underworld, the queen of twilight
Sovereign of the mortals, she will claim your soul
The mistress of the void
With your death in her mighty grasp
When your path is at its' end

Goddess of the underground
Who's to blame
For the pain of the wicked?
Helbound in her lonely crown
And only the one eyed knows why

Deya
Grima

A monster in their eyes
She was thrown from the skies
In her fall she was crippled and broken
Creating a fiend
It was easy enough
With a beast in control of the harness

Deceived by them all
She was crowned in her hall
As the mother of the sick and unchosen

Master of the underworld, the queen of twilight
Sovereign of the living, she will claim your soul
The mistress of the void
With your death in her mighty grasp
When your path is at its' end

Goddess of the underground
Who's to blame
For the pain of the wicked?
Helbound in her lonely crown
And only the one eyed knows why

There is no escape
The gods will end up dead
Go through the gates of Hel
And to the lordess of decay

Deya
Grima
Deya
Grima

Goddess of the underground
Who's to blame
For the pain of the wicked?
Helbound in her lonely crown
And only the one eyed knows why


4. CHAIN BREAKER

Dark and ancient whispers
Echoes through the night
Tales of desolation
As the end of time is drawing nigh
Bringer of destruction
The wolf is growing strong
He was locked in godly chains
That wouldn't last for long

The leash could not domesticate
The violent beast within
And when the bane of Odin howls
The eternal night begins

When the twines that hold him start to yield before his Might
The day will come when skoll and hati devours all our light

Chain breaker
He's howling in the night
Chain breaker
Brings havoc with his might
Chain breaker
Devouring the light
Chain breaker

The gods sought help from dwarven hands
To forge a mighty bind
Created out of mysteries
Too great for mortal minds
They started with the roots of
Every mountain they could find
The spit of birds, and breath of fish
With women's beards entwined

They thought they were so clever
When they brutalized the beast
But when his vengeance is at hand
He'll have a bloody feast

When the twines that hold him start to yield before his Might
The day will come when skoll and hati devours all our light

Chain breaker
He's howling in the night
Chain breaker
Brings havoc with his might
Chain breaker
Devouring the light
Chain breaker

Chain breaker
He's howling in the night
Chain breaker
Brings havoc with his might
Chain breaker
Devouring the light
Chain breaker

The earth is shaking, mountains breaking
The wolf will be unchained
Sky is falling, fenrir howling
The stars will lose their place
Jaws wide open, vengeful
With a fire in his eyes
He will swallow everything
Between the earth and sky

Chain breaker
He's howling in the night
Chain breaker
Brings havoc with his might
Chain breaker
Devouring the light
Chain breaker

Chain breaker
He's howling in the night
Chain breaker
Brings havoc with his might
Chain breaker
Devouring the light
Chain breaker

He is the breaker of chains


5. KAUNAZ DAGAZ

Hear the call for all and the chosen ones
Far away, but all like one
Come together, we've just begun
Chant till valhalla comes
Chanting till valhalla comes

Arise
Into the final battle
There's a fire in my blood
Let's fight
Through the shadowland
There is light to lead us all

Charging into my destiny
Hear the thunder in my heart
Fight me well and I'll be free
Defenders heeding my call

Come with me, through the fire
Burning so real
And tonight, we rise higher
Sworn to the steel
See the light break free
In the darkest of night
Just keep on
Fighting 'til the break of dawn
'Til valhalla comes

We strike
Out on the battlefield
There's a fire in your eyes
Ignite
Burning for your life
And the will that never dies

Charging into my destiny
Hear a thunder in my heart
Fight me well and I'll be free
Defenders heeding my call

Come with me, through the fire
Burning so real
And tonight, we rise higher
Sworn to the steel
The light breaks free
In the darkest of night
Just keep on
Fighting 'til the break of dawn

Come with me, through the fire
Burning so real
And tonight, we rise higher
Sworn to the steel
See the light break free
In the darkest of night
Just keep on
Riding 'til the break of dawn, fighting on


6. THEFT OF THE HAMMER

He woke up in fear and doubt
Hammerless and mad
"Give it back at once you thief
Or I'll go tell my dad"
Giant slayer, Jotun bane
Mjölnir is its name
It was stolen and defiled
Held as hostage in the giant's games

The adventure of the bride
And how thor regained his pride

Stealing from a god
You clueless fools
I am the god of thunder
I will show you theft
Your world will fall
And crumble down before my might

Lightning and thunder, follow their path
As they hastily cross the sky
Bridesmaid and bride, ready for death
And the bloodbath that was nigh
"Look there" loki said, as he pointed to the west
"A castle in the night"
The rage of thor shone through the night
The thunder in his heart

Stealing from a god
You clueless fools
I am the god of thunder
I will show you theft
Your world will fall
And crumble down before me

Thunder followed by lightning
I'm crossing the sky
With vengeance in mind
Hear me, hammer of glory
I am on my way

As our bride waited for his first true kiss
His heart did beat with worry
The hammer must return
His dress fell to his feet
As he felt mjölnir in his palm - hammer time
The hammer has returned

Weapon in hand, he sprung from his seat
Crushing the skull of his groom
A massacre of a tremendous scale
Spreading blood across the room
The joy in his heart could not be met
The slaughter was truly obscene
The darkness within the lightning god
And a carnage seldom seen

Stealing from a god
You clueless fools
I am the god of thunder
I will show you theft
Your world will fall
And crumble down before my might


7. WEAVER OF FATE

Clear as the sky
On a midwinter's night
And deep as the stormy sea
I hear a whisper inside
A hunger devouring me
I beseech you, my heart, to be free

Farther away
Than the night from the day
I reach for your true embrace
Shadow of mine
Memories fail through the veil of my mind
Here at the end of our time

Sure as the sun will rise
Over blood-red skies
I will be on my way
Come the break of day

Dark as the night will be
So my heart, are we
Sorrow will reave my soul
This, my heart, I know

A thread has been spun
By an unyielding hand
The norns have laid down my path
Just like the seed has to grow
The withering leaf must let go
To be buried beneath the snow

Sure as the sun will rise
Over blood-red skies
I will be on my way
Come the break of day

Shrouded in doubt
As I leave for the shore
Though cold and unkind
The horizon calls
Way, way, wayward waves
I will follow you home
And vanish into the unknown

Sure as the sun will rise
Over blood-red skies
I will be on my way
Come the break of day

Dark as the night will be
So my heart, are we
Sorrow will reave my soul
This, my heart, I know

Weaver of fate
To your will I must fold
Oh, wisdom of old
I beseech you, my heart to set free


8. NJORD

Warriors have gathered
Our ships are sailing west
Heading into war
On our final quest

For weeks we will travel
Through the wind and rain
Guided by the stars
As we drink away our pain

Leaving all behind
Nothing left to lose
Where our long boats meet the shores
We're nothing but bad news

Gales of mighty fury
For fortune and for glory
Through the water and waves

Born out of night and nails
(Hail njord)
Mighty with mythical powers
(Hail njord)
He is the wind in our sails
(Hail njord)
Now your riches are ours
(Hail njord)

Mothered by the night
His senses sharp and keen
Shaper of the greatest winds
A viking's ever seen

The moonlit sea, the raging storm
His will and his domain
Bend the sea, oh god of waves
And guide us through the wind and rain

Gales of mighty fury
For fortune and for glory
Through the wind and rain

Born out of night and nails
(Hail njord)
Mighty with mythical powers
(Hail njord)
He is the wind in our sails
(Hail njord)
Now your riches are ours

He is the crushing force of the waves
The awesome power of winds
Guides us to wealth of coin
And brings death upon those untrue

Born out of night and nails
(Hail njord)
Mighty with mythical powers
(Hail njord)
He is the wind in our sails
(Hail njord)
Now your riches are ours
(Hail njord)

Born out of night and nails
(Hail njord)
Mighty with mythical powers
(Hail njord)
He is the wind in our sails
(Hail njord)
Now your riches are ours
(Hail njord)


9. EMBLAS SAGA

Ek dreyma umb eldr
Ek dreyma umb dauðl
Hvar stjornur hrjóða grima himinn
Eldr ok dauðl - myrkr ok rauða
Tveir andilt þú hafa
O grima þǫgn

In the beginning there was only darkness
Of icy mist and smoke
A darkness so completely dark
By war and death invoked
Sparkling flames would dare to reach
Across the arid void
And melt the rim of ice and frost
That framed it from the north
Oh, the birth of gods, the fall of foes
Oh, children of the tree
Now listen close, and hear the truth
Of how you came to be

First was the giant, ymir his name
Then the cow authumla, out of the melting ice they came
From Ymirs' palm another pair of giants, born and bred
Then left and right, his feet would mate to birth a child With several heads

Authumla fed on frost in all her pride and grace
She woke the very first of gods by licking on his face
She ate away the icy cage that held him in his fury
A man of beauty and of might by the name of burí

Burí somehow got a son, who somehow got a wife
Burí, borr and bestla – the avengers of their time
Then bestla bore the children who made this story true
Vile, ve and odin – who created me and you

Memories will fade from man
The snow of death will fall upon
The children of wodan
Distant echoes, whispering
Of how it all began
For the children of wodan

Three were the brothers, three were the gods
In a world of giants, conspiring how to turn the odds
They slayed the very oldest, the one who was the first
Within the flowing blood - every giant was submerged

These waters of decay would never cease to flow
Creating every sea and every river that we know
And while the giants drowned, the gods got the idea
To take the corpse of ymir and make the earth appear

His body would become the soil, his skull became the sky
And then they threw his giant brains aloft to form the Clouds
His teeth became the rocks, they made mountains from his Bones
And on the meadows through his hair the summer breeze was Blown

Out of the ashes and into the light
The dead will make room for the living
Deep in the darkest of nights
The end is another beginning

The fire in my dreams
The death so long foreseen
The darkest sky
Adorned by lights
What does it hide?

Out of the ashes rise
The glowing seed of life
The darkest sky
Two faces hides
Oh, silent night

When the gods were done
They took a little break
A stroll upon the beach
To take a breath and contemplate

Two logs of ash and elm
Lay stranded on the shore
The children of the forest
The children of the gods

From dead to animated
And no longer adrift
For like the fairy godmothers
They gave them special gifts

The first would grant them spirit
And life beyond the plant
The second gave them movement
And the wit to understand
The third would give them faces
Their hearing and their sight
And thus the very first of humans
Were brought to life

Memories will fade from man
The snow of death will fall upon
The children of wodan
Distant echoes, whispering
Of how it all began
For the children of wodan


10. BROTHERS UNITE

Here we are
Different paths led us here
Now we stand
Happily drunk
United as one
Ready to fall

You will rise
Warriors of rock, sweet children of mine
All father's best
Protected by faith
We're an army of eight
Ready to fall

Together we stand
Together we fall
When we do die
We meet in the hall
The eternal feast goes on

Warriors unite, we will stand up and fight
See the flagons fly in valhalla
If we all die, we will feast on a high
For the mead is flowing in valhalla

Show no fear
(Warrior)
We must fight 'til the end
(Brave and free)
Glorious in battle
(Warrior)
Challenging death
(Brave and free)

Together we stand
Together we fall
When we do die
We meet in the hall
And the feast goes on!

Warriors unite, we will stand up and fight
See the flagons fly in valhalla
If we all die, we will feast on a high
For the mead is flowing in valhalla

Bröder av stål
Höj ert mjöd och säg skål
Sejdlarna flyger I valhalla
Om vi förgås
Får vi smörja vårt krås
För mjödet flödar I valhalla

Warriors unite, we will stand up and fight
See the flagons fly in valhalla
If we all die, we will feast on a high
For the mead is flowing in valhalla


11. ONE

The path that I am walking
Leads astray
And the mead I'm drinking takes
Me nowhere
Spirit and heart lost in time
Who am I now?

When the fire inside burns into nothingness
And your hammer-wielding fails you
Remember the ancient tales of almighty warriors
Stay true to your steel and search within
Have faith in the gods believe that you are the one

Come take my hand
And I'll show you the way
Come join our fight
And you'll never walk alone

When we believe we are but one we come together
We sail the seas we're touching ground
We fight whenever
One day will come when all is done, no more endeavors
Until that day we all stand tall and fight forever

I hear the thunder, I see a strike
The gods are watching us tonight
I'm not alone, I hear your call
I see the light

Come take my hand
And I'll show you the way
Come join our fight
And you'll never walk alone

When we believe we are but one we come together
We sail the seas we're touching ground
We fight whenever
One day will come when all is done, no more endeavors
Until that day we all stand tall and fight forever

When we believe we are but one we come together
We sail the seas we're touching ground
We fight whenever
One day will come when all is done, no more endeavors
Until that day we all stand tall and fight forever

When we believe we are but one we come together
We sail the seas we're touching ground
We fight whenever
One day will come when all is done, no more endeavors
Until that day we all stand tall and fight forever


12. RIDE OF THE VALKYRIES

I hear the horns are calling, the fight is drawing nigh
Let them bring their thunder, and their puny battle cries
Forging an alliance with my courage and my steel
I am not afraid to die, and I will never kneel

I don't give a fire if I win or if I lose
Surviving is a cowards wish, and death is what I choose
My stamina depleted, but I am standing still
When the final blow will fall
I'm ready to be killed

Behold
The sky is burning
Fight
For the sake of death
Brace
For your true ascension
This is the ride of the valkyries

We are warriors
The bravest in the lands
Chosen by the maidens
And united once again
Mighty warriors
We're the bravest in the lands
Chosen by the maidens
We're the kinsmen of the slain

I hear the horns are calling, I'm ready for the fight (Fight)
Emptying the barrels before the fall of night
To prove that I am worthy before the valkyries
I crack a skull, I pour four more
I'm on a drinking spree

Are you ready of your destiny?!

Behold
The sky is burning
Fight
For the sake of death
Brace
For your true ascension
This is the ride of the valkyries

We are warriors
The bravest in the lands
Chosen by the maidens
And united once again
Mighty warriors
We're the bravest in the lands
Chosen by the maidens
We're the kinsmen of the slain


13. TO THE SKIES AND BEYOND

Stronger than the mountains and as sharp as steel
Limitless, out on a quest for the glory of the heroes
Greater than the tales of the greatest gods of all
I will take my rightful place in odin's hall

How far does the sky reach?
I will strive to be greater than man
Grow, I'll become the warrior
Rising above, sword in my hand

Reaching for my destiny
Glory be to the chosen ones
Warrior
Let your hammer rise to the sky and beyond
We have just begun

Reach for the horizon, aim your gaze to the unknown
Tread into the fiery storm and watch their minds get blown
Braver than the bravest warrior of all
A strength so fierce and powerful as from the god of war

How far does the sky reach?
I will strive to be greater than man
Grow, I'll become the warrior
Rising above, sword in my hand

Reaching for my destiny
Glory be to the chosen ones
Warrior
Let your hammer rise to the sky and beyond
We have just begun

Reaching for the sky

There is a legend that's yet to unfold
The story untold
I will be greater than all
Fierce as a fireball
Burning free
My destiny
I will be fearless and strong
Into the sky and beyond
