1. VOICES IN THE SKY

Acknowledge my offer
My soul upon the altar
The essence that flows from within me
My secrets, irrational fears
Overflown with blight and sin
My offer is solemn, so grand
Just take it all - my heart in your hands
From inner anguish my passion is torn
All atonement I'll endure

Let my spirit soar
Soon I'll be no more
Free my haunted soul
Still bound by mortal coil
Take my sacrifice
Gates of paradise
Anointed

I want to sing with the Gods
Our voices in the sky

Acknowledge the power
Of limitless ambition
The kind to conquer the world to submission
Join our conquest, our restless campaign
Ravaging this dark domain
From dormant embers a fire runs wild
Tenacious willpower and undying pride
Fervent, we stand in the eye of the storm
Bracing for the coming war

Let my spirit soar
Soon I'll be no more
Free my haunted soul
Still bound by mortal coil
Take my sacrifice
Gates of paradise
Anointed

Our voices in the sky
Now sing with Gods

Let my spirit soar
Soon I'll be no more
Free my haunted soul
Still bound by mortal coil
Take my sacrifice
Gates of paradise
Anointed


2. FORGED IN WAR

Raiders, a thousand of them
Pitch-black the night that veils them
Even the bluest blood runs cold as ice
One million bolts of fire
Lights up our darkest hour
God, save us from this dire fate

Warriors of legend and hunters of men
Falling upon them like banshees from Hell
No-one is spared from our raging hate
We're forged in war

Lethal direwolf commandos
Spearhead-phalanx of Odin
Kings of the Northern war machine
Vultures, above they circle
They know what feast awaits them
Our iron blades flash in the dark

Warriors of legend and hunters of men
Falling upon them like banshees from Hell
No-one is spared from our raging hate
We're forged in war

Warriors of legend and hunters of men
Falling upon them like banshees from Hell
No-one is spared from our raging hate
We're forged in war

See the ravens scatter as a storm is coming from the north
Let the castles shudder in the war drum battery
Our spearhead gathering at your barricades
Only corpses, ruin and agony in our wake

Warriors of legend and hunters of men
Falling upon them like banshees from Hell
No-one is spared from our raging hate
We're forged in war

We're forged in war


3. FLY WITH ME

Under the ever-gazing watcher
We bow before the lidless eye of the Medusa
An endless ivory horizon
Devouring all resolve and reason

Hey, fly with me away
Night turns into day
Stained, my name
Cold will be my unmarked grave

The howling of the restless masses
The driving factor of my imminent destruction
A verdict on their scornful faces
Becomes my public execution

Hey, fly with me away
Night turns into day
Stained, my name
Cold will be my unmarked grave

An endless ivory horizon
Welcomes me to the waiting gallows
The howling of the restless masses
Chanting my names with hateful voices


4. HERALD OF AEGIR

The power and vigour of abyssal gods
More precious than diamonds and old as the skies
Head of steel
Bring to heel
Violent herald of Aegir's zeal
Seasons clash
Silver shades amass

Through tainted and desecrated rivers black
From chasms of brine - the kings are back
Relentless hunters of the sea
Their final stand as nature bleeds

The rapids run lethal - the greatest of trials
A cycle of life - rebirth and demise
Grave, the cost
All is lost
Gone, our herald of ice and frost
Lords of storm, arise!
Into violent waters white

Through tainted and desecrated rivers black
From chasms of brine - the kings are back
Relentless hunters of the sea
Their final stand as nature bleeds

Through tainted and desecrated streams of black
From chasms of brine - the kings are coming back


5. RIFT BETWEEN US

I've ventured in realms beyond this world
And seen deeds of evil, unspeakable
Too weary and empty to walk this road
And tame my affliction, consuming me

If a way could be found
I'd turn this ship around
If scars could be undone
I'd heal them, one by one
No solace in the cold
Vast emptiness, so old
Lightyears away from home

The rift between us
A chasm of aeons
Recounts tale of vagrant souls
The chains that bind us fall
I let the end unfold

While drifting in limbo between the stars
As forces of nature pulled me apart
The longing for you never left my mind
So lonely the road of a wanderer

If a way could be found
I'd turn my ship around
If scars could be undone
I'd heal them, one by one
No solace in the cold
Vast emptiness, so old
Lightyears away from home

The rift between us grows
As our mournful prose
Recounts a tale of vagrant souls
The chains that bind us fall
I let the end unfold


6. LANDFALL

Land and clearing skies
Glorious day to die!

Almost torn asunder as we braced against the storms
But guided by the stars we finally reach the golden shores

Their wine will quench our endless thirst
The temples of their God will burn
And in our victory we'll bathe in gold and blood

We're making landfall at dawn
We'll have their heads and all their gold
We're making landfall at dawn
No one can stop us no more
Bring me their gold

Dying of starvation as we're carried by the tide
Our bloodlust keeps us rowing with the ravens at our side

Their wine will quench our endless thirst
The temples of their God will burn
And in our victory we'll bathe in gold and blood

No one can stop us no more
We're making landfall at dawn
To heed the Valkyrie's call

We're making landfall at dawn
We'll have their heads and all their gold
We're making landfall at dawn
No one can stop us no more
We'll have their heads and their gold


7. BORDERLAND

Watch the stars go black
Imminent attack
Catalyst of fear
Hold your children near
Bombs rain from the sky
Kiss your dreams goodbye
Borderland at war
The horror rages on

No price is too high, he's paying with your life
This war can't be won, perpetual strife
The shame of an empire, written in blood
Never forget - Slava Ukraini

Gone in a hailstorm of shrapnel and fire
Decades of concord in seconds undone
Face again a world reshaped by lords of war

Fuel for the machine
Our Achille's heel
Burning fields of grain
Blood of children, maimed
Hellfire unleashed
Bleak all prospects for peace
At the break of dawn
The sirens blare once more

No price is too high, he's paying with your life
This war can't be won, perpetual strife
The shame of an empire, written in blood
Never forget - Slava Ukraini

Catalyst of fear
Hold your children near
Kiss your dreams goodbye
Bombs rain from the sky

Як умру, то поховайте
Мене на могилі,
Серед степу широкого,
На Вкраїні милій,
Щоб лани широкополі,
І Дніпро, і кручі
Було видно, було чути,
Як реве ревучий

Поховайте та вставайте,
Кайдани порвіте
І вражою злою кров’ю
Волю окропіте

Gone in a hailstorm of shrapnel and fire
Decades of concord in seconds undone
Face again a world reshaped by lords of war


8. FAR FROM HOME

Wander in the darkness
Far away from home
Lost and disconnected
Tired and alone

She beckoned me with weary eyes
Set deep within her battered skull
Bores into me - into my shattered soul:
Get out of here, and don't come back
Can you not see that your attack
Will raze the world before the war is won?

Lit by the fire that barks in the night
Faces of warriors too hungry to fight
Tides of battle are turning
Lay down your arms and run
Far from home

Far away from home
From the butcher's throne

None remains but ruin
Sons in shallow graves
Torn apart in shell fire
Empire in shame

Do you remember how brothers embraced
The same ones a cold horde is laying to waste?
We wish for the warhorns to silence their sound
And tyrants be driven into the ground

Far away from home
From the butcher's throne


9. SEEDS OF DOWNFALL

We came as heroes
Sincerest charity in mind
The saviours of the hopeless
All alms and honest kindness
We left as villains
Despoilers of disease

Nightmare prevails - as always
We spoiled our precious grain
And tainted is the water
No birds of song remain
We came as saviours
To bathe you in our grace
But now the seeds of downfall we have sown
In the barren ground

The barren ground!
Seeds of downfall!

Descending madness
We dwindle down the path of sin
Awakening within us
Our kinds inherent evil
Hunger for power
For worship and command

Nightmare prevails - as always
We spoiled our precious grain
And tainted is the water
No birds of song remain
We came as saviours
To bathe you in our grace
But now the seeds of downfall we have sown
In the barren ground

Tainted is our hollowed ground
Blackend it's vital nectar
We'll eat the noxious yield
As we fall the earth begins to heal

Nightmare prevails - as always
We spoiled our precious grain
And tainted is the water
No birds of song remain
We came as saviours
To bathe you in our grace
But now the seeds of downfall we have sown
In the barren ground


10. ALL AS ONE

So silent the crowd
Come just, to witness the death of a beast
Why the look, why the doubt?
Have you not come here to feast?
You can only gaze through what is given to you
Through the bars of foul conscience and fear
Now look to my left for a clue:
See Jörmungandr judge Fenrir

The serpent breaks the silence
This brother in blood blames me for his own sin
Yet it's not my hand that's stained,
You fear what I'd bring...

When will you have your shackles undone?
Don't speak what we can't understand
Can you not hear the cries of the sun?
Our god is worth more than this land
Your god is lies! A venomous insanity!
Even in death, you'll never be free...

What did you speak Zarathustra,
When we wandered the desert of submission?
Were they wisdoms they took from your lips,
By veiled dagger-tips, hidden by superstition?
Who was it of the six sons of Abraham,
Of the cowards claimed more than men?
How fitting then, how I find my end:
A crucifixion, in nomine Khristos, again...

The serpent calls for silence
The hooded step forth, the stillness complete
Close my eyes, open the door...
Your chains will enslave my soul nevermore!
Nevermore!
A flash of silver from afar and I smile gazing up to the stars...

"And in the final glimpse, the All as One
Eyes of the deepest sea, in the halo that runs as time
Crowning gods of impossibilities
To see, when, finally, the All becomes undone..."

All as One reach to the sky
All as one to die!
And we know you never lied
Save our souls...
You know I won't
'Cause cowards die alone
We pray away on through the night
Gods have you defiled
Now we see the sun has died
Treasons tried
In vain you cried
With men the gods themselves will die!

Evermore!


11. DIABOLIS INTERIUM (DARK FUNERAL COVER)

Diabolis Interium

I wander along the path of darkness
Heart so cold, skin so pale
Driven forth by the question
My answers are written in blood
Sweet Christian blood

You can't escape my wrath
For I am one of the lords
I am the keeper of your pain
I am the holder of the spear
Like a serpent I'm slithering
In a maze of sin and filth

Look down, you so called god
Step down, from your heavenly throne
Let your divine tears of blood, rain over us
And behold what I do to your servants
And behold what I do to your servants

I am a demon that dwells in the darkest flame
The evil from inside
I am a demon, king of the darkest realm
For I am Satan

Diabolis Interium
Diabolis Interium

You can't escape my wrath
For I am one of the lords
I am the keeper of the key to the cosmic pain
I am the holder of the spear
Like a serpent I'm slithering
Through your world divine

Diabolis Interium
