1. AND THE HORDE CALLETH FOR ODEN

(instrumental)


2. HEADING NORTHE

Wilde at hearte, defiant minde
Surrender is not my fate
I've cross'd the seas for all the years
And always have prevail'd

I've seen the tempest in darkest nights
I've faced the eyes of Thor
I've felt the icy colde winde blow
So mystical and raw

I've never fear'd the open battlefielde
(never fear'd the open sea)
I've always brav'd the wildest storms
(brav'd the wildest storms)
But when I close my eyes I see the northern skies
And I see the place where I was borne

We're heading northe, heading home
Where the northern son was borne
And the northewinde fills my hearte again
Withe the flame that miss'd so longe
We're heading northe, heading home
To the shores where we belong
Njörð's daughters take me home again
To the ones we've left alone
We're heading northe

I've conquered oh the stormy seas
Laid waste the foreign shores
The scars of countless victories
revive the days of yores in the night

I've never fear'd the open battlefielde
(never fear'd the open sea)
I've always brav'd the wildest storms
(brav'd the wildest storms)
But when I close my eyes I see the northern skies
And I see the place where I was borne

We're heading northe, heading home
Where the northern son was borne
And the northewinde fills my hearte again
Withe the flame that miss'd so longe
We're heading northe, heading home
To the shores where we belong
Njörð's daughters take me home again
To the ones we've left alone
We're heading northe

[Solo: Alex]

3. METAL LEGACY

Fists fly high like punching through the night
Oh the gods are on revenge
It's the tyrant's fall tonight
Chain clash a sounds, rivets sparkle bright
Oh the denim hordes appear
Now the underground unites

Raging steel –
Sacred rites
Warcries heard tonight
Metal warriors assemble to strike
Thunderstorms –
Iron gods
Lightning strikes up high
Iron legions have gathered tonight –
For the metal legacy

Pounding the world with the blessing of the gods
We're the saviours of the past, the defenders of a cult
Swear the oathe tonight, fulfill the gods command
If it's not inside your blood, thou will never understand

Raging steel –
Sacred rites
Warcries heard tonight
Metal warriors assemble to strike
Thunderstorms –
Iron gods
Lightning strikes up high
Iron legions have gathered tonight –
For the metal legacy

[Solo: Alex, Both, Lars, Both, Alex]

Raging steel –
Sacred rites
Warcries heard tonight
Metal warriors assemble to strike
Thunderstorms –
Iron gods
Lightning strikes up high
Iron legions have gathered tonight –
For the metal legacy


4. THE HOLY CROSS

Wise men have come to seal our fate
Salvation they'd bring to free northern land
Pray to our Lord now, ye all shall be sav'd
Or taste the steel drawn by our sanctified hands

Forefather's wisdom, oh Runatyr's rites
The tales of the hammer, now witchery's signs
Elderly feasts, herectical lore
They fear anciente symbols, the great runes of yore

Hell, damnation
The saviour's on his way
Hell and fire
The holy cross shall burn down to hell

We will never resign to the holy cross
Never bow down to their lord
We..ll never defect to the holy cross
The hammer..s our guide
We..ll never kneel down to the cross

[Solo: Alex]

Wise men have come to seal our fate
Salvation they'd bring, we all shall be sav'd
Forces of darkness have pav'd all their ways
Conversion by violence, now a foreign god we praise

Hell, damnation
The saviour's on his way
Hell and fire
The holy cross shall burn down to hell

We will never resign to the holy cross
Never bow down to their lord
We..ll never defect to the holy cross
The hammer..s our guide
We..ll never kneel down to the cross

[Solo: Alex, Both, Both]

I am the lord, thy god
(Hallowed be thy name)
Thou shalt have no other gods before me
(Thy kingdom come)
For I, the lord, thy god am a jealous god
(Hallowed be thy name)
and the god will not hold him guiltless
that taketh his name in vain
(thy kingdom come)

I'll show mercy unto them that keep my commandments
(Thy will be done)
Art thou willing to praise me?
( Yes Master...!)
(Deliver us from evil)
(Hallowed be thy name)

...for thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory...

Hell, damnation
The saviour's on his way
Hell and fire
The holy cross shall burn down to hell

We will never resign to the holy cross
Never bow down to their lord
We..ll never defect to the holy cross
The hammer..s our guide
We..ll never kneel down to the cross


5. IRON GODS

Thunderroars atone
The iron fists fly high
Warcries are heard tonight
Studs are catching light
The rebels assemble
The foe..s blood will be shed
The mutineers raise high the flag
Rebellion lies ahead

The iron gods now return
The iron flames forever burn
We're protecting the eternal fyre

I fought the liars and their false machinery
A conspiracy of evil and their sell-out industries
The true force stands stronger than ever before
We rise out of the underground and spread the iron law

The iron gods now return
The iron flame forever burn
We're the saviours of eternal fyre
The iron gods now return
The iron flame forever burn
Forever we're saving the fyre

[Solo: Alex, Lars, Both, Alex, Both]

The iron gods now return
The iron flame forever burn
We're the saviours of eternal fyre
The iron gods now return
The iron flame forever burn
Forever we're saving the fyre

[Solo: Both, Alex]

The iron gods now return
The iron flame forever burn
We're the saviours of eternal fyre
The iron gods now return
The iron flame forever burn
Forever we're saving the fyre


6. RAGNAROK

I see the golden era hath gone
Fimbulwinter now hath come
Oh signs of fate the ravens known
Dark greed will take the brother's breathe
I see kinships struck by deathe
Hear the howlings of the wolfe asound

Axe- and sword age –
Shields are cleft
Winde- and wolfe-age –
The serpent raised his heade

Ragnarök –
See the earth go up in flames
Ragnarök –
The great serpent writhes in rage
The doom of gods now hath come
The fall of the sun
The gates of Hel devour the dead
As the twilight of the gods

I see dark crowds of Muspelheim
Ride across the field, their swords aflame
Loudly the Gjallarhorn atones
Valhalla's gates stande open wide
Helm Bearer's sons prepare to strike
The final war, the spear is throwne

Stars now vanish –
Sun turns blacke
Rising steam –
Oh Midgard stands aflame

Ragnarök –
See the earth go up in flames
Ragnarök –
The great serpent writhes in rage
The doom of gods now hath come
The fall of the sun
The gates of Hel devour the dead
As the twilight of the gods

[Solo: Alex, Lars, Both, Alex, Both, Both]

Stars now vanish –
Sun turns blacke
Rising steam –
Oh Midgard stands aflame

Ragnarök –
See the earth go up in flames
Ragnarök –
The great serpent writhes in rage
The doom of gods now hath come
The fall of the sun
The gates of Hel devour the dead
As the twilight of the gods


7. THE REVENGE OF ASA LANDE

At distant shores lie threescore of dragonboats
Awaiting the break of dawn
Tyr by my side, the ravens cry up high
To smother the cruciform

Oh hear the bells the lies are crawling near
Invading our heathen homes
One final stande a hundred suns from home
In the name of the elder ones

Turn to face the vengeance for our poisoned landes
Thy final blessing by this pagan hand

Ravens calling, brothers falling
For the glory of Asa lande
Kings were blinded my people dying
In the great plains of Asa lande

Swift as arrows, running with the wolves we'll fight
Oh Yggdrasil I will sense your pain
From far beyond the valkyries chant my name
Oh by the gods my blade won't fail

Oh show the cross-men from blacksteel we were forged
Now meet thy maker by my father's sword

Ravens calling, brothers falling
For the glory of Asa lande
Kings were blinded my people dying
In the great plains of Asa lande

[Solo: Alex]

Lowe down your flags, lead thy army off fielde
And beg forgiveness for a thousand years of rape, murder and tyranny

Ravens calling, brothers falling
For the glory of Asa lande
Kings were blinded my people dying
In the great plains of Asa lande


8. REMEMBER THE OATHE

Borne to roame in the lands of ice
Raised to plunder the foreign isles
The brotherhoode of the ancient one
Survived a thousand souls
We've seen the abyss, embraced the dark
No demon lords tear us apart
We've met their swords and devoured their hearts
Oh the foes were all dethroned

Ironborne
Proven in fight
Untamable kinde
Sons from up high

Oh Oh,
Warrior, great warrior, son of Asa lande
Hear the voice of the elder ones
Remember the Oathe
Oh Oh oh,
Warrior, great warrior, son of heathen lande
Light the torchesof elder thrones
Let the horns atone
Remember the Oathe

Read the bloodtracks oh in the snow
Blaze the trail to the days of yore
The ice shalle crack with a hammerblow
Know thou the elder home
Now swear allegiance to the wanderer
Find the path to sacred lore
Thy will, Valfather is drawing near
And we claime the iron throne

Ironborne
Proven in fight
Untamable kinde
Sons from up high

Oh Oh,
Warrior, great warrior, son of Asa lande
Hear the voice of the elder ones
Remember the Oathe
Oh Oh oh,
Warrior, great warrior, son of heathen lande
Light the torchesof elder thrones
Let the horns atone
Remember the Oathe

[Solo: Alex, Both, Lars, Both, Both]

Oh Oh,
Warrior, great warrior, son of Asa lande
Hear the voice of the elder ones
Remember the Oathe
Oh Oh oh,

Warrior, great warrior, son of heathen lande
Light the torchesof elder thrones
Let the horns atone
Remember the Oathe

Remember the Oathe


9. LION OF THE NORTHE

November mist, a silent night
Starved to death I awaited the fight
The sound of hooves in the break of dawn
The calm before the storm

The drums asound, hear the horns atone
to sound the charge on this icy morne
Out of the crowd a knight comes forth
The Lion of the Northe

White lightning, gunpowder in the air
Salvation, desir'd across the land

We came, we fought with the Lion of the Northe
On Streiff he was riding ahead
We stand, we fight with the Lion of the Northe
The saviour from up high above has come

He rode along all his rows of men
Up high on Streiff, saluting them
The lion spoke and we swore tp fight
On these frozen fields we'd die
He'd turned his face to the foes that day
Through the dwindling mist he had paved his way
He raised his sword to attack the hordes
Oh the Lion of the Northe

White lightning, gunpowder in the air
Salvation, the cry throughout the land

We came, we fought with the Lion of the Northe
On Streiff he was riding ahead
We stand, we fight with the Lion of the Northe
The saviour from up high above has come

[Solo: Alex,Both, Lars, Both, Both, Both]

Erblicket, ett lejon! I rimfrost han ridar fram
Och han draer sitt vapen, sveas konung det ar han
Han halsar sina mannar och pa Streiff mot fienden
Ett lejon fran hoga nord, ska aras pa var jord

[Solo: Alex]

Erblicket, ett lejon! I rimfrost han ridar fram
Och han draer sitt vapen, sveas konung det ar han
Han halsar sina mannar och pa Streiff mot fienden
Ett lejon fran hoga nord, ska aras pa var jord


10. INTO THE BATTLE

Kiss the blade
drink the mead from the skull
Unleashind the hordes
Of the spearmaster's sign

We have answered the call
(Answered the call)
We have headed the signs
(Headed the signs)
Now thy blood on my blade
(Blood on my blade)
Newborneight shall arise

Free the four windes that blow
Hear the warcry atone

Here we stand, Swordes in hand
Freedom signs we'll defend
Still we fight, side by side
To the battle we ride

It was carved once in stone
By the elders foretold
Wide will open the doors
For the brave and the bolde

Wolf, eagle and bear
Fill my foes with despair

Here we stand, Swordes in hand
Freedom signs we'll defend
Still we fight, side by side
To the battle we ride

[Solo: Alex]

Here we stand, Swordes in hand
Freedom signs we'll defend
Still we fight, side by side
To the battle we ride

Into the battle we ride
To the battle we ride
Into the battle we ride...
