1. GRYNING

Lång var din resa, sliten är din kropp
Efter jakten på det okända.
Se till att du inte mister din tro,
För att saker och ting kan hända.

Hur många år har du vandrat som en ensam varg
Under den åldrade månen ?
Hur många vintrar döljer ditt vita skägg ?
Vad har du sett under åren ?

Ser inte du ? Natten en tar slut
Vart tar man vägen när mörkret tryter ?
Hör inte du ? Natten var ful
Nu tar ljuset över skuggarnas rike

[Chorus]
Natten är över, resan tar slut här.
Man ser tydligt vart strålarna når
Gryningen kommer,den skapar och glömmer
Till det ljusa fjället, stolta vi går

Lång var din resa, sliten är din kropp
Efter jakten på det okända.
Se till att du inte mister din tro,
För att saker och ting kan hända.

Ser inte du ? Natten en tar slut
Vart tar man vägen när mörkret tryter ?
Hör inte du ? Natten var ful
Nu tar ljuset över skuggarnas rike

[Chorus]


2. THE FEAST

Warriors, my brothers in blood
Come and join me for this glorious feast
Tonight we dine, tomorrow we fight
At dawn when sun rises in the east

Plenty of meat to bring you strength
Barrels of mead to warm your souls
Songs of the past to raise your spirit
For some of you will never see their homes

When the valley is covered in darkness of night
We all shall go to our homes and rest
Kiss your women and sons farewell
Tomorrow we’ll ride to our final quest

When the skies get red and the fire is out
May the gods be by our side
Don’t look back and clear your mind
To the glory of death we ride

Look straight in the eyes of death
Don’t give in don’t lower your shield
Never lose the grip of your sword
Valkyries will fly over battlefield.

May your hands be calm and strong
Show no fear for the nearing end
When brothers die side by side
In Valhalla we’ll meet again


3. SPELL OF NIGHT

The sun no longer shines
This place is forsaken
By clouds and frosty winds
The moon has been taken
You find yourself lost
In darkness and roam
You cannot see the light, cannot
Find the way home.

Soon you’ll be a sheep
In pack of hungry wolves
Afraid of your own shadow
And everything that moves
Beware of evil eyes
They watch your every step
And feed upon your fear for
Hundred years they have slept.

[Chorus]
As your desperate shout
It echoes through the dark
Everything you know
Vanishes from your sight
Away from your home
In this silent prison of snow and ice
Spell of night

You shall hear voices
Who tell you to obey
Your mind will be weak, while you
Wait to see the day
These are souls of the lost
Screaming in pain
They tried to resist, but
All their hopes were in vain

The last ounce of strength
Is taken by the frost
Now you see the lights
But once again you are lost
You sit on the ground
Close your eyes, embrace the cold
Like many before you
You will never get old

[Chorus] (x2)

Spell of night (x4)


4. UNDER THE BARREL

How many times have you had a rough day,
but knew that help is just a sip away?
You always come back to this holy institution.
To all your problems there is a liquid solution.
Welcome to crowd of familiar faces
that you know from this and few other places.
Brothers in will that never take pause,
united for life around the same cause.

You walk to the bar, order your first.
Three more to go, so great is your thirst.
Cause somewhere in depths of your bottomless pit
seven ever-sober demons sit.
You never get tired of fast-chugging motion.
Never enough of this truth-telling potion.
Open your eyes as soon as you stop counting.
Pints disappear, your stomach is haunted.

[Chorus]
Raise your glasses, tankards and horns.
To crawl on the floor you have been born.
In summer and winter, whole night and day.
Under the barrel united we stay.
Raise your glasses, tankards and horns.
Feels like enough but you always want more.
Now and tomorrow and ’till the day you die.
Under the barrel united we lie.

Round after round, the walls are bending.
Race to the bottom, to the last man standing.
You stumble and fall, and hold to the wall.
No time to rest. You must drink’ em all!
Your will’s still strong but your body won’t obey
You’re lucky cause the barrel is not so far away.
With last ounce of strength, you reach for the truth
and open your mouth for the fountain of youth.

[Chorus]

Bloodshot eyes, the beast is awaken.
For a random stranger you have been mistaken
Enlightened and wise as never before.
Meaning of life’s revealed as you kiss the floor.
You find the way out, fall asleep in the snow.
One more for the road and you’re good to go.
Say „so long“, this isn’t good bye.
That’s the way to go if tomorrow you’ll die !

[Chorus]


5. DEMISE

The world is once again silent,
All that is left is ashes and smoke
Deprived from life, hidden from the sun
The world has reached its’ final epoch

It started slowly in clouds of dust
When suddenly ground started to shake
Ended in battle when gods were killed
By hungry wolf and venomous snake

What is this curse upon us ?
Dark all the same when I open my eyes.
The great falling in monstrous faith
Is this what it takes for new men to rise?

Stars are no more, heaven’s aflame
Gods and men are fighting the beasts
On roaring waves of troubled seas.
Ship of dead sails from the east.

Rain, winds and thunder
All is covered in darkness
Burned in Surtur’s fire,
Forever left in silence
Skies are falling, oceans will rise
The world we know has come to demise
The end is coming in gods’ own eyes

Rain, winds and thunder
All is covered in darkness
Burned in Surtur’s fire,
Forever left in silence
The sun will turn black, the skies shall fall,
Bring death to the gods and death to us all,
The mighty winter will take its toll.

Rain, winds and thunder
All is covered in darkness
Burned in Surtur’s fire,
Forever left in silence
Without a summer three winters have passed
In this great battle that might be our last
Once again the world will be repossessed
