GRAND MAGUS LYRICS

1. Freja's Choice

Truth in lying
Never can tell
Words that twist and betray
Lore of secrets
Casting her spell
Charms to lure you away

Sorceress
Master of the Sejd
She'll light the way

Her eyes will leave a mark
Her dreams will fill the heart
Her name brings out desire
Riddles in the dark

She'll light the spark

Falcon wings forever soaring
Goddess of the fallen warriors home

Fateful Beauty
Glowing and pure
Turn your gaze down in awe
Golden Mistress
Sowing the need
Sacrifice to receive

Maiden of the shield guides you ashore
The prize of war
Ride on silver wing
Let Valkyries take you home
Her gift is of love
A chance to be reborn

Falcon wings forever soaring
Goddess of the fallen warriors home

Falcon wings forever soaring
Goddess of the fallen warriors home

Freja's choice is always glory
Borne upon the blood-stained wings of war

Blood-stained wings of war

2. Varangian

Fire will guide us on perilous seas
Light in the black the sign that we need
Charge through the storm
Swords in our hands
Leave it to fate or fear takes command

Into the fray
We die and we slay
Our home up above
The hall of the brave

We are warriors – defenders of steel
Fight through the wars, hunger and need
Warriors – defenders of steel
Burn our way to Odin's hall
From all battlefields

Bravery, loyalty bound by the oath
Sworn to protect so far from our home
Guarding a throne, an emperor's reign
Honour is all to the god of the slain

Into the fray
We die and we slay
Our home up above
The hall of the brave

We are warriors – defenders of steel
Fight through the wars, hunger we feed
Warriors – defenders of steel
Burn our way to Odin's hall
From all battlefields

Into the fray
We die and we slay
Our home up above
The hall of the brave

We are warriors – defenders of steel
Fight through all wars, hunger we feed
Warriors – defenders of steel
Burn our way to Odin's hall
From all battlefields

Burn our way to Odin's hall

3. Forged In Iron - Crowned In Steel

All the prophets and deceivers
Try to lead us all astray
We're trusting only in the blade
And the path of destiny
Too proud to kneel
But not to bend
This sword will bring your end
The key to victory is ours
Wielding power in our hand

Bringing
Viking metal – bring you to your knees
Viking metal – a warrior's decree
Viking metal – death is victory
Forged in iron, crowned in steel – Viking metal

We will feed the eagle
We have the means we have the will
Break through your fortress
And your armour
Our edge is primed to kill
We live and die
Our fate is planned
No one fears his end
The key to victory is ours
Wielding power in our hand

Bringing
Viking metal – bring you to your knees
Viking metal – a warrior's decree
Viking metal – death is victory
Forged in iron, crowned in steel – Viking metal

My enemies they must fall down
Mud in the blood-stained ground

Odin grant me gold and glory
Key to victory
Sword of power

Viking metal – bring you to your knees
Viking metal – a warrior's decree
Viking metal – death is victory
Forged in iron, crowned in steel – Viking metal

Odin grant me gold and glory
Key to victory
Sword of power

4. Born For Battle (Black Dog Of Brocéliande)

You were just a child when the flame began to burn
You could not run you could not hide
No one told you there was so much more to learn
Just would not stop before you tried

You hear the calling
Inside you knew

Born for battle
I heard the calling
Hated and scorned
My sword was the warning
I'll defend when you call for

The king has justified the cruelty and pain
A crown and glory
To revel in
Short in stature but a savior to the land
Just let them burn and let me win

I heard the calling
Inside I knew

Born for battle
I heard the calling
Hated and scorned
My sword was the warning
I'll defend to the end

I'm the underdog
Never bark before I bite
Peace a word I never learned
In war my victories mean strife and loss of lives
Never cared if I'd return
Born for battle

My need was created at birth
For glory and blood I was born – burn

Never cared if I'd return

Born for battle
I heard the calling
I'll defend when you call for battle
My sword was the warning
I was born for battle

5. Master Of The Land

Light, the search goes on inside
Deep within my mind
A key that seems to hide
Torn, chained and bound with scorn
Let me be reborn
Into glory ride

Make me master of the land
Master of the land
Master of the land
Answer the call into the fire burn

Free, longing to reveal
A dream so long concealed
Destiny achieved
Burn, wisdom will be mine
Secrets I will learn
Into glory ride

Make me master of the land
Master of the land
Master of the land
Answer the call into the fire

Make me master of the land
Master of the land
Master of the land
Answer the call

Make me master of the land
Master of the land
Master of the land
Answer the call into the fire burn

6. Last One To Fall

Facing the enemy fear and insanity
Fight with your back to the wall
Horses are falling no quarter is given
Ravens will feast on them all
Gather your strength and ride through the storm
No one will catch you alive
It weather of blades and as twilight sets in
This is the final goodbye

Marching on -
You'll be the last one to fall
Marching on -
You'll be the last one to fall

Bereft of all dignity, pain and depravity
No one will live through this day
The sound of the suffering left as an offering
Souls sent to Valhalla's gates
You stand in the rain as you fought through it all
Tomorrow will never appear
Embracing your fate as the dusk closes in
Blood is the prize of the brave

Marching on -
You'll be the last one to fall
Marching on -
You'll be the last one to fall

Bereft of all dignity
Blood is the prize of the brave
No one will live through this day
Souls sent to Valhalla's gates

Ride through the storm
Song of the sword

You'll be marching on
You'll be the last one to fall
Marching on -
You'll be the last one to fall

7. Frost And Fire

Burning hair
Bringer of despair
Mother of the one who takes the moon
Fierce and tall she will devour all
And her spawn will break the seal of runes

Winds that rage across the fields and lakes
She will ride out from the frozen realm
Screaming through the sky
Wreathed in fury

With frost and fire tame the land
She'll rule, take charge and command

Shadow steed will bring her fatal deeds
And a power never seen before
Serpent reins on a wolf from Hel
She descended on the funeral shore
The gathering didn't have her strength
And she proved that she could best them all
Daughter of the ironwood has come

With frost and fire tame the land
She'll rule, take charge and command

As the ring horn sails
She has won
And her sons will rise

Frost and fire tame the land
She'll rule, take charge and command

With frost and fire tame the land
She'll rule, take charge and command

8. Hugr

[Instrumental]

9. Every Day There's A Battle To Fight

All the walls around you
No one really knows how they were made
Who chose that way?
Conformity or safety
Questioning your sanity is brave
You're not a slave, no
Too many hearts grow stale and cold
Too many die inside and fold

Everyday there's a battle to fight
Never let yourself surrender to the pain
You've got to get up
Be strong and fight them all
Never let the fear stand in your way

Find the key inside you
Shining through the madness and the hate

It's not too late
A path is always open
Reborn into the thunder and the rain
Free from all shame, yeah
The smallest creatures have it right
The truth is grey not black and white

Everyday there's a battle to fight
Never let yourself surrender to the pain
You've got to get up
Be strong and fight them all
Never let the fear stand in your way

Stand in your way

10. In For The Kill

Born again as dusk approaches
I've been living far too long as a slave
To the laws of your world
Sound the howl of total freedom
Make the sky and earth my kingdom
There's a gleam and a flash in my eyes
By tomorrow all the sorrow will be gone

I am in for the kill
One with the moon and the wind
In for the kill
One with the moon and the wind

Now their walls give no protection
The grip of fear means no detection
Of the force set upon men and gods
No belief and no religion
Will protect your life from leaving
As the fear reaches out to your soul
It's a grasp that will never let its hold

I am in for the kill
One with the moon and the wind
In for the kill
One with the moon and the wind

You will die
