1. Fimbulwinter: A Tale of Hate
Mistletoe fired at the heart
The sun god had to depart
Welcomed by the hideous Hel
All hear the sound of the doombell
Fimbulwinter... dark and cold
Fimbulwinter... a tale of hate
Fimbulwinter... no one will get old
Fimbulwinter... the winter of winters
It's the winter of winters !
The gods went down into the ground
Where Balder was in Hel found
Released if everything would cry
Only one giant witch didn't try
Fimbulwinter... dark and cold
Fimbulwinter... a tale of hate
Fimbulwinter... no one will get old
Fimbulwinter... the winter of winters
It's the winter of winters !
Ragnarok closing in
People weeping about their sins
Three years of snow
The future would never ever show
Fimbulwinter... eternal winter
Fimbulwinter... dark and cold
Fimbulwinter... a tale of hate
Fimbulwinter... no one will get old
Fimbulwinter... the winter of winters
It's the winter of winters !
Snowstorms from all four points
People starving, losing all hope
Fighting for their lives
Terrible crimes and wars ensued
It's the winter of winters
2. Bird of Prey
I am the fastest hunter - You are my chosen prey
But I cannot catch you - I only see mists of grey
Will the hunter be the hunted ?
Will he be trapped in your net ?
Will he ever catch his prey ?
You will understand now... I am bird of prey
I am bird of prey
The prey is openly guarded
But what if the keeper has departed ?
Then I will hunt you down, ha ha !
And share your blood and your flesh
Will the hunter be the hunted ?
Will he be trapped in your net ?
Will he ever catch his prey ?
You will understand now... I am bird of prey
I am bird of prey
My attack will be unexpected but don't say you were not warned
I would like to feel your heart and your sensual inner warmth
In the end we will be as one, your soul will celebrate with mine
Together we will pass gates unknown as we slowly on my wings drift away
Will the hunter be the hunted ?
Will he be trapped in your net ?
Will he ever catch his prey ?
You will understand now... I am bird of prey
I am bird of prey
3. My Ancestor, Now a Dark Woodspirit
Travel with me into obscurity
Throuh trees, into nature's heart
On an open spot we will be one
Let now your sould depart
In the light of the moon
Through waves of mist
My woodspirit appears in his shape
And greets me loud but silent
My fathers of times long ago
When true cults ruled this land
Take my soul on a journey through fields of tears
Through fields of tears
Their reign has passed
But the dawn will be gold again
The oaks will not weep anymore
On my knees I fall
On my knees I fall...
My sacrifice of blood makes me stronger than ever
A new aeon of justice glows at the horizon
Glows at the horizon...
My sacrifice of blood makes me stronger than ever
A new aeon of justice glows at the horizon
Glows at the horizon...
4. Pagan Reality
Face the world, it's changing
I'm not alone, maybe I never was
Old ways revealed, sun and moon glow
Many ways to walk... walk mine
Hear the forests mourn, they call you
Answer their cry, it's your destiny
Breathe ancient lure, the way of wyrd
Many sides to choose... choose mine
Pagan reality, hear the sound of drums
A reality burning so brightly
Ancient culture in a new dawn
Dance to the sounds of ages ago... for it is real !
After centuries lost, the fish fades
Magical hymns sung again, sing one youself
The echoes resounding, a new future
Many things to think... think mine
Cry... Cry...
Pagan reality, hear the sound of drums
A reality burning so brightly
Ancient culture in a new dawn
Dance to the sounds of ages ago... for it is real !
You are not alone
Even if you thought you wre
Go your own way
Follow your inner conscience
Lost of nature, queen of creation
I'll help you to be strong, as strong as you were
Feel the change, darkness and light
Many feelings felt... feel mine
Pagan reality, hear the sound of drums
A reality burning so brightly
Ancient culture in a new dawn
Dance to the sounds of ages ago... for it is real !
5. Children of the Black Hill
We are the berserk ones
We are invicibles, a flash of light
Children of the moon
I do summon the great overlords
Children of pure revenge
Out in the blazing storms
Prepare to fight, prepare to kill
We are children of the black hills
We are the solitude ones
We are the path, followers of nature
Beast hordes of the moon
Ritual suicide in the mud
Children of pure vengeance
Out in the weeping rains
Prepare to bleed, prepare to kill
We are children of the black hills
We are black clouds
We are stars that hide the sun
Firebreathers of the moon
Slaughter at the hillside
Children of pure retaliation
Out in the crying winds
Prepare to burn, prepare to kill
We are children of the black hills
6. My Lady of Winterfire
My lady of winterfire
Brought me fire in a wintertime
My lady of winterfire
You are all I do desire
Like a cold spirit cast to stay on the earth
My life was as cold as a springtime river
Like a tree whose roots are being eaten
My life was like a burned-out candle
My lady of winterfire
Brought me fire in a wintertime
My lady of winterfire
You are all I do desire
You embraced me with your warmth
You buried me gently in your womb
You made sure I don't dwell astray
You are why I stay
My lady of winterfire
Brought me fire in a wintertime
My lady of winterfire
You are all I do desire
Together as stars under a midnight sky
My life no longer, an earthly lie
Together as bats and blood
United forever we feel like gods
Together as bats and blood
United forever we feel like gods
My lady of winterfire
Brought me fire in a wintertime
My lady of winterfire
You are all I do desire
7. Battlelord Odinn (Father of Victories)
The sun arises from the horizon
A last drink of mead
The enemy we watch upon
Will soon wisit the dead
Father of the gods
Help me in this battle
Rider through the skies
I gave my blood for thee
Battlelord Odin
Father of victories
I hail thee as I die
Flaming eyed
Guide my axe now
Wide in wisdom
Soon I will know
Battlelord Odin
Father of victories
I hail thee as I die
Lord of all men
The battle rages on
Swift in deceit
I am bleeding
Battlelord Odin
Father of victories
I hail thee as I die
Father of the slain
I spilled my last blood
Hooded one
Now take me up !
The sun sinks down
The smell of fire and blood
They take me up now
Into the hall I go
Into the hall I go
8. Choosers of the Slain
Warrior-maidens of the battlelord
Chose them doomed to die
And bring them to the hall of the slain
Let these heroes fight without pain
Valkyries - choosers of the slain
Shrieker and scream
Valkyries - choosers of the slain
Stormraiser and axe time
In full armor, winged helmets
Flying golden hair
Hover over the chosen warriors
In the raging battle
Valkyries - choosers of the slain
Shrieker and scream
Valkyries - choosers of the slain
Stormraiser and axe time
Let never your face be seen
Without your swanlike disguise
You will become an ungodly mortal
And never return to Valhalla
Valkyries - choosers of the slain
Shrieker and scream
Valkyries - choosers of the slain
Stormraiser and axe time
9. Lost Times, in Darkness Forgotten?
Proud to be free, worship the oaktree
Justice by the strong, the weak wrong
Values so high, I sigh...
Lost times, are they gone ?
I scream : what have we done ?
These times live in my veins
Lost times, not forgotten
Fel the powers of blood
We accuse your false god
Into battle ride, we will not hide
Powers so high, I sigh...
Lost times, are they gone ?
I scream : what have we done ?
These times live in my veins
Lost times, not forgotten
Lost times... Why ?
Lost times... I cry
Lost times... Return !
Lost times... I am yours...
Lost times... Never...
Lost times... Never... Never...
