BURNING WITCHES LYRICS

1. Winter's Wrath

We ride out for the witch of the north
For Freya!
For Freya!

2. The Witch of the North

Sweet call, oh mother of all
It's fate that binds us now
Your sight is guiding us all
To what can be

Rise! Rise of the druids
Oh, seeing ones
Fall! Fall of the tyrants
Make them pay

When we ride out for the witch of the north
When we ride out in valiance we go forth
When we ride out defying the frost
For Freya! Witch of the north

Let go, let the gift of sight flow
Feel the wonder and dreams coursing through
For peace, for the sake of prosperity
Wise are the ways of the womb

Rise! Rise of the druids
Oh, peaceful ones
Fall! Fall of the tyrants
Oh!

When we ride out for the witch of the north
When we ride out in valiance we go forth
When we ride out defying the frost
For Freya! Witch of the north

When we ride out for the witch of the north
When we ride out in valiance we go forth
When we ride out defying the frost
For Freya! Witch of the north

Defying the frost... Witch of the north...
Go forth for Freya... Witch of the north...

3. Tainted Ritual

Tainted!

She is a godless child
Running free and wild
With the wolves and with the eagles
Left alone to die
With nothing left to lose
Plenty enemies to accuse
Chances were low
But she survived

Tainted ritual
Taking on a witch's name
To be Untouchable
To never be hurt again
Tainted ritual
Enforced by bright burning flames
Disreputable
Got only to gain

In the land of thousand lakes
Is where she trembles and she shakes
Under stars is where she cries
Seeing where her future lies
Breathing in the flames
If all is what it takes
Under northern skies
Is where she thrived

Tainted ritual
Taking on a witch's name
To be Untouchable
To never be hurt again
Tainted ritual
Enforced by bright burning flames
Disreputable
Got only to gain

Tainted ritual

Tainted ritual
Taking on a witch's name
To be Untouchable
To never be hurt again
Tainted ritual
Enforced by bright burning flames
Disreputable
Got only to gain

Tainted ritual
Taking on a witch's name
To be Untouchable
To never be hurt again
Tainted ritual
Enforced by bright burning flames
Disreputable
Got only to gain

5. Flight of the Valkyries

Flight of the Valkyries

To Valhalla leads the way
Only for the best they say
They wait for Ragnarok

Warrior woman descending from the skies
Sinister spirits deciding who will die
Warriors fierce with spears that shine as gold
Piercing fighters, unforetold

To Valhalla leads the way
They're the choosers of the slain
The fair ladies of the warlord
Awaiting the end of days
Lighting up the sky in flames
The flight of the Valkyries
Valkyries, Valkyries

Murderous maidens raiding in the war
Devious angels watching from afar
When the end is there
You will stop to stare
And go where beer forever flows

To Valhalla leads the way
They're the choosers of the slain
The fair ladies of the warlord
Awaiting the end of days
Lighting up the sky in flames
The flight of the Valkyries

To Valhalla leads the way
They're the choosers of the slain
The fair ladies of the warlord
Awaiting the end of days
Lighting up the sky in flames
The flight of the Valkyries
Valkyries
Oh, Valkyries

6. The Circle of Five

We are the circle of five

We strike
In a whirlwind of magic
Here we are
Drawing power from the source
You'll feel the fear
You'll never know what hit you
Leaving you lost
In your shell of existence

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

We fight
For the eternal flame
Here we are
Tumbling and diving
When we go high
Spirit's radiated
Knowing the way
In complete darkness

Oh-oh-oh, blood runs cold
Be quick, make way
Oh-oh-oh, from realms beyond
Glory awaits

With spell-forged gear, the magic trails
The circle is complete
We are the ones that will prevail
We are the circle of five
We see below the mountain range
The circle is complete
Our eyes are set on glorious days
We are the circle of five

We fly
We are quick as lightning
Here we are
With sorcery and cunning
You know we are
When the world is trembling
Dark spells are cast
All guns blazing

Oh-oh-oh, blood runs cold
Be quick, make way
Oh-oh-oh, from realms beyond
Glory awaits, yeah

With spell-forged gear, the magic trails
The circle is complete
We are the ones that will prevail

One, two, three, four, five

7. Lady of the Woods

From the moment gazes cross the poison starts to work
From the moment the sweet scent is in the air of the night
Red roses are blooming in the trail where she just walked
And you follow

The light of the stars are shining on her where she goes
Nothing's though as it seems, there's evil to redeem
You're haunted by the strangest dreams
Sweet dreams

Yeah, darkness is awake
Remembering only how to take

There's an evil in the woods
Under full moon it awakes
It has eyes set on you
It has never felt so good
To let go of all control
You would run if you could
From the lady of the woods

Hold temptation at bay, the flesh is weak they say
In vain you're trying to resist the hold she has on you
You never thought you'd see her basking in the midnight sun
Calling on you

Dancing and advancing, putting you in a trance
Getting deeper and deeper to where life never ends
Forever in a daze leaving all behind
In this human world

Yeah, darkness is awake
Remembering only how to take

There's an evil in the woods
Under full moon it awakes
It has eyes set on you
It has never felt so good
To let go of all control
You would run if you could
From the lady of the woods

There's an evil in the woods
Under full moon it awakes
It has eyes set on you
It has never felt so good
To let go of all control
You would run if you could
From the lady of the woods
From the lady of the woods

8. Thrall

Low life, fallen face down in the mud
A new life, just one mistake
Thrall
Yearning, screaming for freedom
Once so normal
Law is denying all

Now the time will come
To turn the tides
To take a stand as thrall
Thrall

Viking victims
Thrall
Viking servants
Thrall

Shackles cutting deep into inflamed flesh
The old life fading away
Fast
Aching backs are bending
Viking servants
Might is serving all

Now the time has come
To turn the tides
To take a stand as thrall, with all
Thrall

Viking victims
Thrall
Viking servants
Thrall

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

Now the time has come
To turn the tides
To take a stand as thrall, with all
Thrall

Viking victims
Thrall
Viking servants
Thrall

Viking servants
Thrall

9. Omen

[Instrumental]

10. Nine Worlds

Time has come for frost winds to storm
And giants to arise
Raging with power unlike
The gods have ever seen
Rising from the void
Cruel vile night crawlers
Ruling in the absence of light
Creatures of the dark

They are born from fire
Born from the cold
Born before time
Born from the bold
Nature's disasters
Beating their masters
From beyond time
When nine worlds fall

They will rule
Until the nine worlds fall
Until the nine worlds fall
Dark and cruel
Until the nine worlds fall
Until the nine worlds fall

Until the nine worlds fall

Here it comes, the fist of fury
From eons of malice
The guardians are gone and the gods are done
In their absence death will rise
It's the turn of tides
For cruel, vicious night crawlers
Ruling in the absence of light
Creatures of the dark

They are born from fire
Born from the cold
Born before time
Born from the bold
Nature's disasters
Beating their masters
From beyond time
When nine worlds fall
Fall

They will rule
Until the nine worlds fall
Until the nine worlds fall
Dark and cruel
Until the nine worlds fall
Until the nine worlds fall
Fall

Born from ice and fire
Born from desire
An endless continuous cycle

They will rule
Until the nine worlds fall
Until the nine worlds fall
Dark and cruel
Until the nine worlds fall
Until the nine worlds fall

Until the nine worlds fall
When nine worlds fall
Until the nine worlds
Until the nine worlds fall

11. For Eternity

Oh just take me home
To the promised land
Oh I am lost, a heathen
Getting spit in the face
A case of human waste
When did it come to this
Oh

In times of shifting sand
Is it time to make amends?
Where's the hand? The hand of Odin
Oh it's an eye for an eye
I can't believe it, but it's either fight or flight
Yeah standing the test of time in chaos and pain

Cries ring through the night, it's a fearless fight
Sworn an oath for eternity
It's a world of fools, men reduced to tools
Oh life for eternity, eternity yeah
For eternity we strike (We strike)
Say a prayer before you die (We die)
For all of this we kill (We kill) (Kill, kill, kill, kill)
Until all evil's slain!

Going from rituals and runes
To only rags and ruins
Your children traumatized and you horrified
Oh it's an eye for an eye
I can't believe it, but it's either fight or flight
Yeah standing the test of time with you mortified

Cries ring through the night, it's a fearless fight
Sworn an oath for eternity
It's a world of fools, men reduced to tools
Oh life for eternity, eternity yeah
For eternity we strike (We strike)
Say a prayer before you die (We die)
For all of this we we kill (We kill) (Kill, kill, kill, kill)
Until all evil's slain!

Pray for another day
When the struggle falls away
And the debt is paid
Hope for a better day
Where peace is there to stay
And all evil is slain

Cries ring through the night, it's a fearless fight
Sworn an oath for eternity
It's a world of fools, men reduced to tools
Oh life for eternity, eternity yeah
For eternity we strike (We strike)
Say a prayer before you die (We die)
For all of this we kill (We kill) (Kill, kill, kill, kill)
Until all evil's slain!

12. Dragon's Dream

Oh, come on!

There's something pulling, weighing you down
To unknown golden streets long gone
So strange yet familiar
A place you never want to leave

Relentless evil, beauty and beast
The glorious days of plenty lost
It's time to toss the coin
To know is to believe the dream

Stuck in a dragon's dream
You should not fear, but then you scream
You feel the anger's pulsing, the dragon is mean
You're stuck in a dragon's dream
It's armor shines in sunlight's beam
The eyes reflect a power that you have never seen

The strangest memories, faces of doom
Living lives through centuries lost
Where is your sense of self
You're losing faith, 'cause you will be

Stuck in a dragon's dream
You should not fear, but then you scream
You feel the anger's pulsing, the dragon is mean
You're stuck in a dragon's dream
It's armor shines in sunlight's beam
The eyes reflect a power that you have never seen

Stuck in a dragon's dream
You should not fear, but then you scream
You feel the anger's pulsing, the dragon is mean
You're stuck in a dragon's dream
It's armor shines in sunlight's beam
The eyes reflect a power that you have never seen

Stuck in a dragon's dream

13. Eternal Frost

[Instrumental]

14. Hall Of The Mountain King

[originally by Savatage]

Far away
In a land caught between time and space
Where the books of life lay
Within this castle of stone
The mountain king roams

All alone in here
But he's not the only one
Lost inside
Forever hidden from the sun

Madness reigns
In the hall of the mountain king
Oh yeah

His deep
Dark eyes keep watch on his kingdom
And the mysteries that sleep safe inside
His hall
His towers of stone
Shall not be overthrown

For eternity
It is guarded by the king
Insanity
And the power that it brings

Madness reigns
In the hall of the mountain king
Oh yeah
In the hall of the mountain king
Oh yeah

I say to one, no...
Come with me
Stay close by my side
As the darkness of night closes in
Don't fear
In the thunder, it roars
When the mountain king calls all his children home
To where I hid him we must run
Refuge here
But I was forever on the run

Madness reigns, my friends...
In the hall of the mountain king
Oh yeah
In the hall of the mountain king
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
