Blood gushes from the wound The cut is wide and deep Right before I turn around He falls to his knees A clear song rings in the blades When steel meets hardened steel I hear the sound of wood that breaks A sword cut through my shield I drop the shield and grab my axe A weapon in each fist The first blow makes the helmet crack The axe cut to the teeth I rip the axe from the head covered in blood and brains Leave the body lying dead Ready to strike again My sword cuts through clothes and skin Like a hot knife cuts through snow I smile as the bastard screams when I twist my sword Sword in my hand Axe on my side Valhall awaits me Soon I will Die Sword in my hand Axe on my side Valhall awaits me When I die Bearskin on my back Wolfjaw on my head Valhall awaits me When I'm dead I raise my axe above my head My eyes turned furious rage Yet more blood will be shed This is a victorious day! Blood gushes from the wound The cut is wide and deep As I turn around I fall to my knees Solo: Mikkonen Sword in my hand Axe on my side Valhall awaits me Soon I will die Sword in my hand Axe on my side Valhall awaits me When I die Bearskin on my back Wolfjaw on my head Valhall awaits me When I'm dead

We hold the rivers of the Eastern trail Deep in the land of the Rus' Following the wind in our sails And the rhythm of the oars No shelter in this hostile land Constantly on guard Ready to fight and defend Ours ships 'til the bitter end We came under attack I received a deadly wound A spear was forced into my back Still I fought on When I am dead Lay me in a mound Raise a stone for all to see Runes carved to my memory Now here I lie on the river bank A long, long way from home Life is pouring out of me Soon I will be gone I tilt my head to the side And think of those back home I see the river rushing by Like blood runs from my wound Here I lie on wet sand I will not make it home I clench my sword in my hand Say farewell to those I love When I am dead Lay me in a mound Place my weapons by my side For the journey to Hall up high When I am dead Lay me in a mound Raise a stone for all to see Runes carved to my memory

Thunder rolls across the plains, Thor rides in pouring rain. He rides to Jotumheim to fight, lightning strikes when Mjöllnir bites. Fire burning in his eyes! Fire, his rage is pure, see the lightning strike. Fire burning in his eyes! Fire, his rage is pure, see the lightning strike. Lightning cracks the blackened sky, hear the thunder chariot ride. All brave men with hearts of war ride the path of mighty Thor. Son of thunder, lighting strikes, son of thunder! Son of thunder, Thor arise, son of thunder! Son of Oden, Thundergod. Master of War, Asator! Fire burning in his eyes! Fire, his rage is pure, see the lightning strike. Fire burning in his eyes! Fire, his rage is pure, see the lightning strike.

Hermod: "Ride, Sleipner! Ride for all you're worth Faster than lightning To the dark realms of the world" Through valley's of darkness On our way to Nifelheim To the halls of Hel Where my brother awaits Wailing Voices on the wind Urging me to turn Distant tortured screams Cold blue fires burn I hear the sound of river Gjoll Running cold and deep Its golden bridge shines in the dark The bridge Modgud keeps Over the bridge, on through the night Hel is getting near There are the gates towering high Afflicting me with fear In her hall, at the honoured seat My brother sits in pain Pale and tortured Balder greets Bound by invisible frozen chains Hermod: "I have come to bring him back with me The whole world mourns his death Please set Balder free Give him back his breath!" Hel: "If it's true, what you say to me That the whole world mourns his death If the whole world will weep I will give him back his breath."

Darkness flees the rising sun The village lies ahead It will wake to a new day soon Soon they'll all be dead We came in cover of moonless night Fifty men at arms Now at first morning light The church bell sounds the alarm Sacrifice to Gods of old Bleed them of their lives Fresh blood on our swords Gods of war arise Sacrifice to Gods of old Bleed them of their lives Fresh blood on our swords Gods of war arise Hear the tortured screams Shattering the air They awake from soothing dreams Into their worst nightmare Fire sweeps their homes They feel the dragon's breath Consuming and destructive flames Agonising death Some seek shelter in the church A refuge for those with faith But we know how to smoke them out A pyre will be raised But those who choose to stand and fight Will die with dignity For the unfortunate few who survive Waits a life in slavery The day draws to an end The night comes dark and cold We return to our ships With silver, slaves and gold We gave them agony As they fell and die The Gods have granted victory For our sacrifice Solo: Mikkonen

Finally the storm arrives Our wait is at an end Under dark winter skies We make our final stand For each of us there are four of them It matters not to us We won't leave this field in shame We are here to crush Futile to resist You know why we have come Futile to resist The battle is already won Our hearts are full of pounding rage Our minds are hard as steel And before the dying day We will have you kneel The snow turns red from all the blood Severed limbs and heads A sacrifice to one-eyed God He will claim the dead Under winter skies We stand glorious And with Oden on our side We are victorious No retreat No remorse Victory Will be ours Blood on steel Sacrifice Victory Will be ours Under winter skies We stand glorious And with Oden on our side We are glorious Futile to resist You know why we have come Futile to resist The battle is already won Futile to resist You know why we have come Futile to resist The battle is won!

Raise your swords up high See the black birds fly Let them hear your rage Show no fear Attack! Charge your horses across the fields Together we ride into destiny Have no fear of death when it's your time Oden will bring us home when we die The ground trembles under us as we make our thunder charge The pounding hooves strikes blinding fear into their hearts Our helmets shine in the sun as we near their wall of shields Some of them turn and run when they hear our frenzied screams Draw your swords to strike Hear the black birds cry Let them feel your hate Show no fear Charge your horses across the fields Together we ride into destiny Have no fear of death when it's your time Oden will bring us home when we die The enemies are in disarray ride them down as they run Send them to their violent graves, don't spare anyone Dead and wounded lie all around see the pain in their eyes Over the field an eerie sound, as we hear the raven's cry

The icy winter is creeping near Dark skies above us Biting frost is in the air Darkness surrounds us The cold, piercing autumn breeze Fills the longship sail Soon the lakes and seas will freeze And snow will lay its veil Many years we've been away The oceans we have roamed Now the north star guides us on our way As we are headed home The many hardships we've endured Have brought us rich reward Now the north star guides us home With cargo full of gold Many friends died on the way Only few of us survived But I would gladly take their place In Oden's hall up high Solo: Söderberg The icy winter is creeping near Dark skies above us Biting frost is in the air Darkness surrounds us Soon the lakes and seas will freeze Snow will lay its veil And we will long for the summer breeze When we can set our sails

Ships were prepared Weapons and shields Sails were raised We're heading out to sea! Norway disappeared in the east Our journey had begun Helpful winds gave us our speed Under a warming sun Heading to the emerald land A fleet of 50 ships A army of 2000 man, led by the king On the horizon dark clouds arose Thor rode across the black clouds As the night rolled in over us We felt the wrath of the storm That night I was haunted by dreams An omen, of what was to come The serpent arose from the sea Ready to strike With hammer in hand The serpent in pain, twisting in furious rage Fought for its live The serpent escaped Thor was enraged My dreams began to fade Woke from my dreams Sword in my hand The break of dawn Closing in on Irish land Time to attack Grabbed our shields We came ashore And saw the waiting horde The fight was short and deadly intense The Irish fought us well But as we gained the upperhand Their fighting spirit grew Ready to strike With swords in our hands They struggled with heart The Irish fell to our wrath Fought for his live The king escaped With fury divine King Olaf threw his sword

The last head falls to the ground No one is left alive They thought that they could take me down But it's not my time to die I wipe the blood from my sword And slide it in my belt This is the sweetest of rewards The best rush I have felt Ten men are dead by my feet I smell their streaming blood And I smile, cause it makes me... ...makes me feel so good They were crawling on their knees Begging for their pathetic lives Now their souls belong to me As well as their eyes Each man has something that I crave I eat their steaming eyes And drink their blood to make them my slaves At Oden's feet in afterlife I bring the skulls to my shrine Where silent Gods stand guard Soak them in blood and in wine - A sacrificial ritual One thousand heads are on display Collected through years of thirst Macabre trophies from my prey Picked clean of flesh by Oden's birds I am - I am - A wolf in human shape I am - I am - A predator with flaming rage I'm a wolf in human shape - Every man is prey A predator with flaming rage - Blood is in my trace I will die with sword in hand And then my seat's secured When Oden calls from golden hall He will greet me at the door

The wait is soon at end Always charge never bend Morning is here, make your stand Live for honor, glory, death in fire! Total war is here Face it without fear Age of sword, age of spear Fight for honor, glory, death in fire! See the fire rise Flames are raging high Soon all will burn and die Burn for honor, glory, death in fire! Storm of lethal flames Only death remains Ragnarok is closing in Die for honor, glory, death in fire! Forces of chaos are on the move Everyone, choose your side And know the end is coming soon The day for all to die The day is here when Bifrost breaks Nor sun or moon will rise When the dead rise from their graves and Surtur spreads his fire All you know will wither away And sink into the sea A new world will be born one day Where everyone is free Total war is here, face it without fear Age of sword, age of spear Fight for honor, glory, death in fire! Storm of lethal flames Only death remains - Ragnarok is our fate Die for honor, die for glory Die, death in fire!

Rumbling thunder cracks the sky And rain starts pouring down Lightning strikes a cold bright light Upon the blooddrenched ground The sword play is hard And many fall Steel bites sharp in flesh And upon a mountain Towering tall Stand the messengers of death Five horsemen in armour bright Waiting in the flashing light Looking down upon the field Where Vikings fight with axe and shield On stallions black as night With eyes burning red They ride with thunder to the fight Deliverance of certain death A warcry loud as Heimdall's horne Echoes across the land Enemies who hear it freeze to the bone Friends of doom proudly stand They ride faster than the wind With lightning speed they strike Black ravens follow where they've been To feed from those who died With power they wield their swords As they ride down fleeing men Sending them to Hel's dark court To never come back again The warriors ride once more To the mountain from which they came Once sent by the gods to war And they never return in shame
