One man rode the way through the woods<br/> Down to Asa bay<br/> Where dragon ships had sailed to sea<br/> More times than one could say<br/> To see with own eyes the wonder<br/> People told of from man to man<br/> The God of all almightyness<br/> Had arrived from a foreign land<br/> <br/> The rumours told of a man<br/> Who had come from the other side the seas<br/> Carrying gold cross around neck in chain<br/> And spoke in strange tongue of peace<br/> He had come with strange men in armour<br/> Dressed in purple shirts and lace<br/> Smelling not of beer but flowers<br/> And with no hair in face<br/> <br/> And the bold man carrying cross<br/> Had told all one of Asa bay<br/> The God of all man woman child had come<br/> To them all save<br/> And to thank Lord of Heaven<br/> One should build to God a house<br/> And to save one's soul from Hell<br/> One should be baptised and say vows<br/> <br/> A man of pride with the Hammer told new God<br/> To build his house on own<br/> And spoke loud of the Gods of their fathers<br/> Not too long time gone<br/> The rumours said the man with a beard like fire<br/> And the Hammer in chain<br/> By men in armour silenced was and by<br/> Their swords was slain<br/> <br/> Those who did not pay the one coin<br/> Of four to man of new God<br/> Whipped was twenty and put in chains then locked<br/> By their neck to the log [To the log...]<br/> And so all of Asa bay did build<br/> A house of the cross<br/> Every hour of daylight they did sweat<br/> Limbs ached because faith does cost<br/> <br/> And on the day two hundred<br/> There it stood white to the sky<br/> The house of the God of the cross<br/> Big enough to take two dragon ships inside<br/> And all of Asa bay did watch<br/> The wonder raise to the sky<br/> Now must the God of the cross be pleased<br/> And satisfied<br/> <br/> Just outside the circle of the crowd<br/> One old man did stand<br/> He looked across the waters<br/> And blotted the sun out of his eyes with one hand<br/> And his old eyes could almost see<br/> The dragon ships set sail<br/> And his old ears could almost hear<br/> Men of great numbers call out Oden's hail<br/> <br/> And though he did know already<br/> Though he turned face towards sky<br/> And whispered silent words forgotten<br/> Spoken only way up high<br/> Now this house of a foreign God does stand<br/> Now must they leave us alone<br/> Still he heard from somewhere in the woods<br/> Old crow of wisdom say<br/> ...people of Asa land, it's only just begun...

Twinkle bright Aldebaran, the star of solitude<br/> Somewhere there is a lake of fire, pity all the fools<br/> Sorry are the desolate, the unfree and obedient<br/> For this is not the spring of love, it is the winter of discontent<br/> Standing at the shore of lake of fire<br/> <br/> Standing at the shore of Lake Of Fire<br/> Standing at the shore of Lake Of Fire<br/> Standing at the shore of Lake Of Fire<br/> <br/> Blood mooney, for thirty pieces of silver<br/> You shall buy yourself the time<br/> <br/> The quivering meat conception, deflorate the virgin fair<br/> Succumb to your own passion, recieve the garland made from angel's hair<br/> Crown yourself, the thorns will cut you, bleeed your majesty<br/> But by dawn it will all satisfy no more, dethrones you weep<br/> Dumped along the shore of lake of fire<br/> <br/> Dumped along the shore of Lake Of Fire<br/> Dumped along the shore of Lake Of Fire<br/> Dumped along the shore of Lake Of Fire<br/> <br/> So you've been left in chains to rot away in your own stinking rest<br/> You'll hang till death in your own entrails<br/> <br/> What you're gonna do, peasants with nukes<br/> But death you'll see shall make us free

Fifteen years have passed<br/> Every day the woods have cried<br/> the words of vengeance and revenge.<br/> The Gods have watched him day and night<br/> by the Northern stars bright light.<br/> Growing stronger. Coming nearer.<br/> <br/> Upon a steed as white as snow<br/> he is riding through this land of no return<br/> His hair blowing in the wind<br/> A sword in his hand.<br/> And his eyes they burn.<br/> <br/> Guide me, my Ravens. Find the way<br/> through the woods and snow<br/> <br/> Let your eyes be mine seeking for the valley of death<br/> Come this far, I am willing to face the twin-headed beast's breath<br/> <br/> Let your wings be my heart<br/> in the air, black as night.<br/> I have steel at side. Powers of thunder<br/> The Gods with me ride<br/> <br/> I trust in my ravens, watching from above<br/> Black as night. Swift as lightning,<br/> and graceful as doves.<br/> <br/> I trust in my Stallion. Born by the wind,<br/> Taking me through the valley<br/> where this world ends, and the shadows begin<br/> <br/> I trust in my sword. Forged in fire and ice.<br/> It's sharp blade shall be baptised in blood<br/> as I take the Beast's life.<br/> <br/> Cry, old crow, cry...<br/> Come out of the darkness you beast of Hell, face me.<br/> Out on this field of moonlit snow.<br/> I will not be deterred by your ugliness.<br/> Before my sword your two heads will roll.<br/> <br/> I will not let my sword rest until it's steel<br/> has song for your ugly twin heads.<br/> I'll wipe the sweat off my face with your bloody scalps<br/> and watch your four eyes telling me that you're dead.<br/> <br/> Gathering speed. Charging forward.<br/> collision is close now.<br/> The swords are drawn, held high.<br/> they flash in the pale blue moonlight.<br/> <br/> aiming at throats bare. The moment is so near<br/> The time seems to halt for a while<br/> Even the stars in the sky hold their breath<br/> <br/> This is the moment of glory or death...<br/> <br/> The moment to maim or to be put to rest...<br/> <br/> So close now I almost can hear the black blood<br/> in the beast's thick veins pumping.<br/> I am swinging my sword. May the Gods be with me.<br/> <br/> I ride out through the vast portals of Hel.<br/> I swing my sword in the air.<br/> And the dead beast's two bloody scalps attached to a spear.<br/> <br/> Now is come the moment for me to set free<br/> those, a long time ago, brought far north<br/> by the twin-headed beast.<br/> <br/> On that daybreak when the old crow did cry...<br/> <br/> That hard winter when I, still a child...<br/> By my Father was told of a hall way above the clouds,<br/> Gates open wide for the one who dies with sword in hand.

Resting by my fire. Looking deep into it's flames.<br/> My mind must have been somewhere else<br/> Far beyond these plains.<br/> I am suddenly aware of a pair of eyes staring at me.<br/> I turn around and behold the most ugly thing I have seen.<br/> <br/> The woman standing in the glade like a shadow in the night<br/> Points her wretched finger at me with a wretched smile<br/> And she asks me in a voice that sounds as if it's been so long<br/> since she spoke, if I seek magic then I should come along<br/> <br/> I'm but a man. Mortal, a man.<br/> But she leaves no footprints in the snow<br/> Still I follow on to where she is going<br/> For she has promised me magic if I follow on.<br/> <br/> She takes me to a part of these woods few have ever seen.<br/> Where the sun surely won't reach<br/> Still the ground ominously gleams.<br/> She says she's seen me coming and that she knows where I'll go.<br/> But before I leave she says there is this one thing I should know.<br/> <br/> She offers me the ability to take a fatal wound.<br/> Every cut by sword or spear will be absorbed by her tree-womb.<br/> The magic will remain until it's time for me to part with this mortal world.<br/> And all she'll claim is my young heart.<br/> <br/> I'm but a man. Mortal, a man.<br/> And I'll need all the help that I can get.<br/> So I give my heart to the woman of the dark<br/> With or without it...my life is not over yet.<br/> <br/> Wing of bat and lizard's eye.<br/> Dust of a star fallen from the sky.<br/> Tears of a virgin, and the cum of a god.<br/> Thirteen drops of an infant's blood<br/> A twist of a cat's spit and oil of the moon<br/> Stir for a while and very soon<br/> A salve to be applied upon the chest<br/> close to where the heart beats strong.<br/> <br/> No pains will occur when her hand is pushed into my flesh<br/> She'll slowly draw my living heart out of my open chest.<br/> She'll place my heart in the pit of the snake and behold the years go by.<br/> Hers to keep from the moment when the time has come for me to die.

O, so it is written son<br/> When all waters and land you see<br/> All around came to birth<br/> Man and beast was one<br/> And the gods of the sky<br/> Walked the face of the earth<br/> <br/> Few free and innocent<br/> Man strolled paths next to those<br/> Of beasts seeing no signs<br/> But stars in the sky<br/> Knowing of day and night<br/> Of rain and winds, hunger and fright<br/> But not of death nor of life<br/> <br/> While all was at ease with all<br/> Living creatures and beast and the gods of the sky enjoyed the lavish<br/> riches of this world, giants rose out of their caves and took to the<br/> skies challenging the gods for the power of the universe.<br/> Only when the great halls of Valhalla stood aflame lighting up the<br/> worlds all around did the gods wake up from their drunken sleep, to<br/> speed through the heavens and clash with the giants in the greatest<br/> battle ever seen.<br/> Heads arms and legs of both giant and god fell down upon the earth<br/> and... The weapons... The swords of shining metal... And those who<br/> found them and took these shining blades in hand were only men, now<br/> man was the master of this world.<br/> <br/> The story tells of stormy skies [sings: raging winds]<br/> Black clouds gathered up high<br/> And of lightning striking from a<br/> Burning bloodred sky<br/> <br/> The mountains crumbled to the seas<br/> Earth shook the worlds collide<br/> Ending the age of gods<br/> Giving birth to our time<br/> <br/> And man lived and learned<br/> The secret of steel<br/> <br/> Ore of earth - fire of sky<br/> Forged is blade of gods<br/> <br/> Blood and iron Blood and iron<br/> Blood and iron Blood and iron<br/> Blood and iron Blood and iron<br/> Blood and iron Blood and iron<br/> <br/> So the age to learn and to teach<br/> for man begins, the power to know<br/> the blood and iron discipline, and<br/> tell the story of how man was granted<br/> these shining blades of steel<br/> <br/> Knowing of the past she will know<br/> of the tomorrow and man shall reign, yes,<br/> even conquer other worlds and she will set<br/> sails on her starships sailing across the<br/> black space and become the new gods of the skies.<br/> [The skies... the skies... the skies... the skies... the skies...<br/> the skies... the skies...]<br/> <br/> Blood and iron.

The one eyed old man told me that the fates that I will see<br/> Has paralysed a thousand brave men sure of victory<br/> I cannot fight blindfolded and I'd freeze if I should see.<br/> So I need to sacrifice my eyes to see all from within.<br/> <br/> The one eyed old man told me of a lake that no-one knows of.<br/> where the end of the sky unites with the bottom countless feet down deep<br/> And he told me when this world was young into it's depths his eye he had thrown<br/> So that though one eyed, he could see more than can be seen.<br/> <br/> I'll throw my eyes into the lake.<br/> So that I will see from within<br/> I'll throw my eyes into the lake<br/> And when blind I will still see.<br/> <br/> At the bottom of the lake.<br/> My two eyes will shine like the stars<br/> At the bottom of the lake<br/> I will see no matter how near or far<br/> Regardless at which speed my horse<br/> takes me through the night<br/> No matter how sharp the blade of my sword seems to be.<br/> Even with the aid of two pair of eyes way up high<br/> In the end before the Beast, it's face I would have had to see.<br/> <br/> But with my two eyes in the depths my vision is supreme<br/> I see all things that can't be seen<br/> but not my hand that is held out in front of me.<br/> The face that makes me freeze<br/> I now need not see at all.<br/> I'll feel the presence of the Beast.<br/> but will not need stare him down no more.<br/> <br/> I've thrown my eyes into the lake.<br/> So that I will see from within<br/> I've throw my eyes into the lake<br/> And now when blind I still see.<br/> <br/> At the bottom of the lake.<br/> My two eyes are shining like the stars<br/> At the bottom of the lake<br/> I now see no matter how near or far
