EREB ALTOR LYRICS

1. Fire Meets Ice

The cold mist in the land of shadows
Burning heat in the land of fire
The birth in a gaping hole where fire meets ice
Building the sleeping giant of rimfrost
Ymer, the father of the rimthurs awaken by the fire of Muspelheim
Giving life to all kinds
Betrayal, defiance, act of Gods
Three gods, Ve, Vile, and Oden, the slayers of Ymer
Drowning in blood, destroying his heirs
Hatred was born
Born by blood, fire and ice
A world built by the flesh of the father
Surrounded by the ocean of blood
The sky, up high, carried by the four
North, South, East and West
The skull of the giant placed by the black elves

2. The Chosen Ones

From the black water we once came
Out on this water we will go
Ask and Embla, the chosen ones
The wise god gave us the breath of life
The god of wish gave us our mind
The god of holiness gave us our vision
Ask and Embla, the chosen ones
The gods gave us shelter and hope
In the castle of Midgård we thrive
The sons and daughters of the chosen ones
To the Gods we hail for them to grant us our strength
Our songs still echoes within the mighty halls of stone
Surrounded by the great ocean on the shore we stand proud and tall
And for glory and for longing we will search throughout the mighty Ash

3. Nifelheim

Beware of the northern wind
Sacrifice to the mighty eagle
To spare our skin and bone
His cold wind that pierces through all

Shores of longing
Winter's gone
Guide us,
Sons of Oden
Ruler of the sky
Protect us
Don't take us
Down below

We set our sails
Our journey has begun
The mighty sea seals our fate
Waves so strong carries the dragon ship

Shores of longing
Winter's gone
Guide us,
Sons of Oden
Ruler of the sky
Protect us
Don't take us
Down below

To arrive in foreign land
To conquer, to trade
To depart from foreign land
Leave the shores in flames
To Nifelheim
They will travel
The cold waste land
Of the Ninth World
In Nifelheim
They will suffer
The wrath of the Snake
Of the Ninth World

Those who stand against us
Will fall by our hand
Send them down the river cold
To the shore of the dead

To Nifelheim
They will travel
The cold waste land
Of the Ninth World
In Nifelheim
They will suffer
The wrath of the Snake
Of the Ninth World

4. My Ravens

Give me wisdom
Give me knowledge
To see through all the lies
Over nine worlds from dawn til dusk
they fly until they return
Bringing me my gift
My power to forsee
For the battle we must prepare
I'll send the ravens
I'll send them far
I'll send the ravens
I'll send them far away
Fly my ravens, fly

5. Sacrifice

Sacrifice his left eye
Sacrifice for the well of wisdom
Sacrifice, the ash so old
Sacrifice, Oden's galow
Sacrifice nine long nights
Sacrifice, baptized in blood
The runes he found, the runes of power
Nine are the magic songs
Learn the nine magic songs to cease the power of the runes
The mead of wisdom, the tounge of poetry
And to speak with the dead with Miner's head
The magic runes, the ancient spell must be read and written from the heart
The scars of the runes are filled with blood
And not to fall a sacrifice must be done
Rista Råda Färga Fresta Bedja Blota Sända Slopa

6. Helheimsfard

Nine nights he ride through valleys of darkness
No light, nor shadows for nine nights so black
The river so fierce kills all the sounds
The bridge he must cross, the bridge of the dead
The path to Hel where only the pale can pass
The gates of Hel where only the dead can pass
Carry me Sleipner fast as the wind
Fly Sleipner, fly over the gates
To enter the halls of death
To enter the dead ones fate
To enter his brothers grave
To enter for his return
All must weep, all must sacrifice
Their tears of life for his return

7. The Deceiver Shall Repent

He was hiding behind four doors, north and south east and west
But there is no escape from his sins and his betrayal will be redeemed
One of his sons forever condemned to the shape of the greatest of wolfs
Destined to take his brother's life
The deceiver shall repent
Chained down to the three mighty stones bound by the chains of flesh
A poisonous snake above with an andless stream of venom tearing his face apart
Damned by all but his beloved, Sigyn is always by his side
She will ease his torment and pain with her cauldron of relief
The ground will shake along with his pain and wrath
Bound until the day of days

8. Post Ragnarök

Under the blackened sun the earth is drowning
Stars burst into flames, falling
The mist, the fire, the heat touches the sky
All chains are broken, all seals are open
the world rises a second time
A new beginning
Resurrection of truth and light
Beneath dwells the snake of shadows
The shimmering cold snake
Will we succeed where the mighty has failed
To follow the true path
Beware of the cold that dwells in the dark
Waiting, longing for our sins

9. Our Legacy

Behold our land, our land of the North
Our legacy to keep untouched
The lakes are so clear
The forests, our dark forests
A nocturnal beauty that takes the breath away
The silence cries
The winter, the absence of the sun
Fires burning bright through our darkest nights
Fires burning bright within our hearts
