1. Day of Reckoning
A brother bound to the earth
Another cast to the sea
In Niflheim their sister dwells
One day they will be free
Bonds forged in svaltafar
By dwarfs deep below
Rune forged chains
That did not hold
With force all chains broke
Their hearts struck with fear
As the wolf grew
Year by year
Behold Loki's spawn
Eater of the sun
The beast above them all
Will taste blood
A brother bound to the earth
Another cast to the sea
In Niflheim their sister dwells
One day they will be free
The world serpent
Cast into the sea
Mighty Jörmungandr
World wyrm
He shall be free
To tear and rip
At his enemy
A violent unrest
Awakes the blackened sea
Death manifests
Midgard feels its motions
On the planes of Vigrith
He joins the Jotun horde
To face his nemesis
Mighty Thor
A brother bound to the earth
Another cast to the sea
In Helheim their sister dwells
One day they will be free
In the depths of Niflheim
Under the world trees roots
With her army of the dead
That will be sent forth
From her gates
Jotun
Cast out, detested
The gods shall taste
Your vengeance
A brother bound to the earth
Another cast to the sea
In Niflheim their sister dwells
One day they will be free
2. Black Clad
Unite as one
Black clad warriors
Ready for war
Black clad warriors
We have become
Black clad warriors
The voice of gods
Black clad warriors
A roar sounds
Metal is forged
Ignite the fire
Of the heathen horde
Hail to Brage
With horns raised high
To his honor
We drink tonight
Raise your horns
Let thunder sounds
Unite as one
Black clad warriors
Ready for war
Black clad warriors
We have become
Black clad warriors
The voice of gods
Black clad warriors
Praise Brage the poet god
Who brings joy to our heart
Sound of metal that inspire
Sparks and fuels our lives desire
Raise your horns
Let thunder sounds
Unite as one
Black clad warriors
Ready for war
Black clad warriors
We have become
Black clad warriors
The voice of gods
Black clad warriors
Særimnr's flesh
Shall fill your belly
Onwards into battle
Ride true and steady
The glorious dead
At Aldar rôk
Joins the All-father
To fight, drink and fuck
Unite as one
Black clad warriors
Ready for war
Black clad warriors
We have become
Black clad warriors
Were Odin's sons
Black clad warriors
Unite as one
Black clad warriors
Ready for war
Black clad warriors
We have become
Black clad warriors
The voice of gods
Black clad warriors
3. See the Dragons Ride
Oars cut deep into the sea
Far away from home
On board a hundred men
To gather what is owed
Pagan blood runs in their veins
By blood and oath, they are bound
Njord calms the open sea
Odin bless their victory
The banners sway up high
Ocean waves we ride
Long ships split the ocean waves
See the dragons ride to victory
Hundred men armed for war
See the dragons ride to victory
Voyage set to bring back gold
From the followers of Christ
If they chose to block our path
Their heads with split by and axe
Wooden beasts fight the waves
A path in blood their crew shall pave
We chose, not diplomacy
The axe will bring us victory
The banners sway up high
Ocean waves we ride
Long ships split the ocean waves
See the dragons ride to victory
Hundred men armed for war
See the dragons ride to victory
Carved from wood of Yggdrasil
Our mighty dragon ships
Blessed by gods and feared by men
Who have herd of the dragons breath
Man, the oars attack the shores
The wind will carry us forth
From the ocean we attack
With a brutal deadly force
Man the oars
See the dragons ride
Eager to kill
Se the dragons ride
Long boats at their shores
Se the dragons ride
Prepare for war
Se the dragons ride
Long ships split the ocean waves
See the dragons ride to victory
Hundred men armed for war
See the dragons ride to victory
4. Dødsfærd
Træd i lyset i livets flor
Indtil nattens mørke slør
Ej som nidding dom skal stå
Thi alt levende dør
Jarl, fader frænde var
Nu er hans tid omme
Når kød er væk og brændt
Dommen skal komme
Mægtig kriger, som folk ham så
En mand af mod og ære
Sorg nu lægges, over frænders hus
Mens flammerne fortærer
Hil vores frænders hus
Thi dem vi mindes nu
Træd i lyset I livets flor
Til nattens mørke slør
Ej som nidding dom skal stå
Thi alt levende dør
Sten rejst til hans minde
Et sidste dybt farvel
Inden alt de har på sinde
I natten svinder hen
Nu står tilbage frænders dom
Som alle dødelige må lide
Hvad han med ord og handling gjort
Vil vinde plads ved Odins side
Træd i lyset i livets flor
Indtil nattens mørke slør
Ej som nidding dom skal stå
Thi alt levende dør
Fæ dør,
Frænder dør,
Ogsaa du skal dø;
Eet jeg ved,
Som aldrig dør,
Dom om hver en mand
Træd i lyset I livets flor
Indtil nattens mørke slør
Ej som nidding dom skal stå
Thi alt levende skal dø
5. Eindriði
Giants raging
Across the field
His hammer greets them
Their fate is sealed
Thunder cracks
It's open war
They will fall
To asa Thor
Son of Odin

With gaping maw
To consume us all

With fury and might
Strike down the serpent
Before he dies

6. Sessrúmnir
Hail to Freya goddess of war
Rise Valkyrie above them all
Greet the dead in Folkvangr's halls
At her feet the strong now bows
By the sword I've lived my life
Secured the land for king and kin
As the final breath is drawn
I see the light Sessrumnir's halls
Light shall shine bright as the sun
Radiant wings as we ascend
Or amour soaked in blood
We walk among the dead
Hail to Freya goddess of war
Rise Valkyrie above them all
Greet the dead in Folkvangr's halls
At her feet the strong now bows
Goddess of war calls us forth
As we enter her golden halls
Chosen men of the highest breed
Here we rest for eternity
I lay my axe at her feet
Until she again calls for me
Freya, goddess of war
At your command we heed your call
We who stand the chosen ones
The strongest of the fallen
We shall celebrate our glorious death
And rejoice at our final rest
For she shines her light on us
Let her Valkyries lift you up
Carry you to where dead men dwell
Far away from the depths of Hel
Hail to Freya goddess of war
Rise Valkyrie above them all
Greet the dead in Folkvangr's halls
At her feet the strong now bows
7. The Bounty of Flesh and Bone
Black smoke rises from what remains
Of a town once full of life
Muddy roads now soaked in blood
Those not enthralled have died
They came from nowhere spreading fear
Viciously attacked
No one spared their iron grip
For bounty they would have
From the sea on mighty ships
Evil men arrive
Submission now awaits
For the captured who survives
Merchants of flesh
Slavers arrive
Merchants of flesh
You cannot hide
Smoke rises in the air
And coves the midnight sky
Flames erase all that is left
Of a peaceful farm hood life
Now await a life in chains
As livestock to the Earl
Stripped from title and of name
A pitiful meaningless slave
From the sea on mighty ships
Evil men arrive
Submission now awaits
For the captured who survives
Merchants of flesh
Slavers arrive
Merchants of flesh
You cannot hide
Heads are bowed down in shame
Once they stood as men
The whip cracks above their heads
As they are gathered into pens
Just like cattle they worked to death
Beg to be set free
Bow and pray to the sky
But non shall hear their plea
From the sea on mighty ships
Evil men arrive
Submission now awaits
For the captured who survives
Merchants of flesh
Slavers arrive
Merchants of flesh
You cannot hide
They came from nowhere spreading fear
Viciously they attacked
No one spared their iron grasp
For bounty they would have
Merchants of flesh
Slavers arrive
Merchants of flesh
You cannot hide
From the sea on mighty ships
Evil men arrive
Submission now awaits
For the captured who survives
8. Æresstrid
Bragt til Midgård jord
Ej styret af norners tråd
Hans vilje og hans ånd
Skal blive hans gravfærds dom
Dom fældes over hus
Blod svares med blod
Niddingsdåd er gjort
Betales skal hans bod
Lige mænd skal dø
Blod render i sø
Dom den døde får
Hans minde ej forgår
Skæbnespundet møde
Vævet af vølvers tråd
Niddings dom er givet
Ved holmgang blod skal flyde
Ære for en holmgangs dåd
Betales med niddings blod
Skæbne spundet
I vølvers tråd
Økse hugges i fjendes kød
Et smertens skrig skal lyde
Til nidding han er død
Blodet skal flyde
Et skæbnespundet møde
Vævet af vølvers tråd
Niddings dom bliver givet
Ved holmgang blod skal flyde
Ved holmgang dom skal stå
Niddinger og fæ
De som ære krænker
Skal smage klinges æg
Han som handler for sit hus
Følger æres kald
Skal mætte sig med brødre
I Odins varme hal
Så lad ej nidding vade
På det der er dig kært
På holmen i skal mødes
Hans blod skal gydes her
De krænker andres hus
Skal snarligt få sin dom
Med klingens ord dom er gjort
Til kroppen rammer jord
Dom fældes over hus
Niddingsdåd er gjort
Blod svares med blod
Dette er hans bod
Her lige mænd skal dø
Blod render i sø
Dom den døde får
Æren for den som står
Et skæbnespundet møde
Vævet af vølvers tråd
Niddings dom bliver givet
Ved holmgang blod skal flyde
9. Battle of Middle-Earth
Bowstrings are drawn ready to kill
Black wings of Angmar enters the fray
From north and the west we stand
With one purpose to defend the world of man
From the hilltop six thousand strong
Hooves they pound thunderous roar
Under the archway they now stand
Swarms of evil from the Dark Lord's land
The smoke from Osgiliath
Tells of our demise
If all will fail this day
Humanity will die
We defend our land
Here by the true king's command
This is our final stand
Evil will fall by our hand
We shall purge our land
Only free men will stand
Arise, arise, riders of Theoden
Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter
Spear shall shake, shield splintered
A sword day, a red day
Ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride to Gondor
Ride to ruin
And the world's ending
Isildur's blood line
Forged by steel
They will never be broke
Sauron shall kneel
Brave men defend our land
Here by the true king's command
If this will be our final stand
Evil will fall by our hand
We shall purge our land
This day only free men will stand
The smoke from Osgiliath
Tells of our demise
If all will fail this day
Humanity will die
Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul
Brave men defend our land
Here by the true king's command
If this will be our final stand
Evil will fall by our hand
We shall purge our land
This day only free men will stand
10. Andvari's Curse
Hreidmar's sons returned
Skin torn from his limbs
A claim of blood was made
For honor to reclaim
A cursed bounty found
Warnings they reject
To find themselves
Bound by its fate
Dragon skin
Guardian
Fafnir
In his lair he takes the form of a dragon
Dragon
To protect the gold - the poison of the soul
In these halls he will die
For his greed
To seal their frightful fate
Blood from gold is paid
Dwarven royal kin
Broken by greed within
Dragon skin
Guardian
Fafnir
In his lair he takes the form of a dragon
Dragon
To protect the gold - the poison of the soul
In these halls he will die
For his greed
To pay the debt
The tricker god they believed
Cursed by madness by Andvari
A sacrifice of blood
A heart torn from chest
In the greed they seek the gold
Høgner put to rest
Consumed by greed
Chained by its awe
To all cursed men
Who will be condemned
Dragon skin
Guardian
Fafnir
In his lair he takes the form of a dragon
Dragon
To protect the gold - the poison of the soul
In these halls he will die
For his greed
Fafnir
Bound in dragon skin
Andvari's guardian
Death shall come to him
Fafnir
11. Gods of War
Our pagan ways will not die
From our fist the north unites
Cross and god we defy
They shall fear our battle cry
Gather warriors
The raven calls
White Christ's followers
Will kneel or fall
Ready your sword
Axe and spear
Let god's lambs
Bleed out in fear
Just like rats
They swarm our lands
Cross at their neck
And book in hand
Foolish idol
Feeble minds
To no honors
They fight and die
We call thee
Odin
We call thee
Tyr
We call thee
Freya
Gods of war
From the soil of the north we are born
Pagan heart will beat ever strong
We answer their god's weak demands
With fire in our hearts and sword in our hand
Crows gather
To pick the bones
Fallen brothers
And butchered foes
Tonight, we drink
From skulls of foes
Upon a pile
Of Christian bones
We call thee
Odin
We call thee
Tyr
We call thee
Freya
Gods of war
From the soil of the north we are born
Our pagan heart will beat ever strong
We answer their god's weak demands
With fire in our hearts and sword in our hand
From the soil of the north we are born
Our pagan heart will beat ever strong
We answer their god's weak demands
With fire in our hearts and sword in our hand
12. Visdomsmjøden
Odin bragt os mjødens ånd
Med den vi knytter stærke bånd
Spytter mjøden fra sin bug
Til evig, druk og evig rus
Rund om bordet
Samles vi
Frænder
Af ånd og blod
Ræk mig hornet
I din hånd
Mjøden styrker
Dit kød og din ånd
Kvasir drænet af blod og ånd
Hans visdom samlet i Son og Bodn
Suttung narret af alfaderens snu
Fløj bort med mjøden til jætters gru
Odin bragt os mjødens ånd
Med den vi knytter stærke bånd
Spytter mjøden fra sin bug
Til evig, druk og evig rus
Mjøden skyller
Blodet bort
Fra de fjenderne
Der krydsede os
Niddinger
Vi slår ihjel
Mjød vi drikker
Behager bug og svælg
Kvasir drænet af blod og ånd
Hans visdom samlet i Son og Bodn
Suttung narret af alfaderens snu
Fløj bort med mjøden til jætters gru
Mjøden bringe visdom her
Einherjer kommer fra nær og fjern
Varm jer ved vor evige glød
Med kød, mjød og kvinders skød
Kvæl din sorger I skjaldemjød
Vid forstanden Må lide død
Tving ej i lyset Dit indre fæ
Følg ikke flok som blot et kvæg
Kvasir drænet af blod og ånd
Hans visdom samlet i Son og Bodn
Suttung narret af alfaderens snu
Fløj bort med mjøden til jætters gru
Odin bragt os mjødens ånd
Med den vi knytter stærke bånd
Spytter mjøden fra sin bug
Til evig, druk og evig rus
