1. Convoys to Nothingness
Faces - eyes - noise
Floating patterns of no coherency, none needed
From behind the chapel of dreams came imagery
From another world
The left for a brighter star
A new home called "now"
Womb - death - dawn
Follow seafarers on an ocean of silence
Remaining humanoid shells, a distant thought
The chasm between truth and flesh paved
With bricks from secret cities
Entering linear orbit
Crushing the foundations of divided times
Suns reflected
Convoys...
Convoys to...
Convoys to nothingness...
2. Jotunblod
Bottomless abyss, ginnungagap
Darkness without end before the morning of time
The cold empire's eleven rivers frozen
Frost mist spreads itself wide out
The gust from Nivlhel in the north fills the mighty gap
Licking tongues of fire from the south
Boiling, bubbling venom
All life has it's origin in a source of
Jotunblood
Your mind's own evil inner:
Jotunblood
Screams from Hvergelmes source
United with nauseating drops of venom
The first, the father of all families
Created by the two elements
With himself he breeded
Our proud ancestors
Our primitive force's deep roots
With energy from the cattle's four rivers
A knife through the dark
A shrill scream
A pale face foams
He wanders proudly over Ymer's bones
All life has it's origin in a source of
Jotunblood
Your mind's own evil inner:
Jotunblood
If one seeks all Midgard's knowledge
If the wise woman swings her staff
One can not avoid one's origin
The chaos of the primitive force:
Jotunblood
3. The Voices
I hear their poisonous words again
As they call out for submission and code
"To be less than one and drown equals pride" they say
These were the voices that destroyed us
Did I want for this loss to be sustained?
Through the clipping of wings found the secret paths
From the blinding light of lies obtained second sight
Stabbed in the back, gained strength in One-ness
Taken from me, I learned to preserve
These were the voices that sunk our ships
These are the voices - poisoned ears bleeding
Did I pray for the dead to be kept awake?
Did I gently place these thorns through the surface
of my eyes?
Did I ask for this fathomless tragedy to go on forever?
Fail to comply - reborn in war
The answer being no
Did I?
4. As Fire Swept Clean The Earth
I close my eyes
As Fire Swept Clean the Earth
Nothing left to strangle
As the cords were torn from our hearts
"Tired I blew out my last warning, the claws were ripping me apart"
As we emerged
From darker dungeons
Splendor of yellow hells
Expanded swollen eyes
No words were said
As Fire Swept Clean the Earth
Would the mothers be crying?
If they saw torches in our hands?
"The wind, once able to conquer, captured As Fire Swept Clean the Earth"
A kiss was placed
Upon my cheek
And all color came back
Melting in solid blue tune
5. Heimdallr
Heimdall is the name of an Old Norse God;
he is called the Old White Norse God;
he is great and holy;
his teeth are made of gold;
his horse is named Goldtop.
He lives where it's called the mountain in the sky besides
Bifrost.
He needs less sleep than a bird;
he sees night as clear as day
one thousand miles away from where he is;
he also hear the grass grow from the soil,
or the wool on the sheep and everything that can be heard.
He possess the horn that is called the Gjallarhorn,
and they can hear him blowing the horn in all the homes.
6. Loke
Laughter echoes through the night
The evening star shines over Midgard
Evil mingles in the dark
The organised cosmos' enemy comes forth
Loke, the son of F†rbaute.. father of lies
Born of earth, unbound by laws
Takk weeps no heavy tears
For the loss of the sun's handsome son
But the mare in the woods submits
For the regaining of Foster brother's favour
Loke, the son of F†rbaute.. father of lies
Born of earth, unbound by laws
The salmon glides in the waterfall
The eagle sails with the wind
Hammer groans in Jotun scull
The under ground spurts fire
Laughter, deceit, beauty and contempt
The old norse god's protector and leader of Jotuns
7. Queen Of Night
Across the scorched fields of fathers land
In each step an abyss is built
Through misty dreams he touched her hand
The boar is dead
Its blood is spilt
He set his foot on the slopes of far away
They'd been asleep when his sun roared
He walked through night, walked through day
Landless mourning lord
"Why should we let you by?"
The road is blocked by men of three
"If you need ask, you already know"
They said to let him pass, to leave him be
At the shores of sorrow
How far he'd come (to see her eyes)
(After) Moons and more moons
He'd be there tomorrow
"And I would travel across the water
To where she lies"
On the sea of solitude he rows
The winds howl her name, he has no fears
Tired and smiling he falls, downwards he goes
There she is, waiting after all these years
8. Mardraum
Faal i flammar
Fanga under is
Mara rir evig
[English translation:]
[NIGHTMARE]
Fall in flames
Trapped under ice
Ridden by nightmares forever
9. Ridicule Swarm
Pallid it hangs
In awe of amusement
Litany swarm
Bleak I say are the crutches of the assembly
And flies cling to it
More so ever the fingers to animate
Insubordinate, fickle exequies
Putrid core
Naudr........the ligature it can't break
Lagu...........the whispers it can't hear
Insubordinate, fickle exequies
Putrid core
"Er du halt kan du ri
Handlaus gjeta
Er du dauv kan du duga i strid
Blind er betre enn brend å vera
Daud mun ein lite duga"
Slain, and thoughts pour from the gutted mind.
"Ver kappi mot kristni
Ver kappi mot kross
Ver kappi mot Hvitrkristr
VER VANN
VER VANN
VER VANN"
"Er du halt kan du ri
Handlaus gjeta
Er du dauv kan du duga i strid
Blind er betre enn brend å vera
Daud mun ein lite duga"
NAUDR............
10. Wotan
Naked, waste landscape
Vast plains lead to the seashore in the west
A northern wind sweeps over dead bodies
A stranger has entered the domains of the vikings
Die not lying sick, dastardly coward
Draw sword, fight with the war gods
Wotan!
We shall fight until we see Ritrost
We shell fight until Heimdal flows the Gjallarhorm
We shall fight for our domains
We shall fight with the war gods
Wotan!
Die not lying sick, dastardly coward
Draw sword, fight with the war gods
Wotan!
11. Retribution For The Dead (Autopsy cover)
12. Slaget I Skogen Bortenfor
Strokes from oars could be heard,
beautiful ships gushed through the sea
Like a wind from the north,
our ancestors reached the shore
Men from Hordaland, Rogaland and Adger
gathered for battle in common
Proud men with no fear
Strokes from the sword crushed the skull of the christian
A long time we ruled, kings of the north
Many battles we won, at the shores of Midgard
But, betrayed by our own brothers
we were forced down on our knees
Now when the wind once again is howling
the thoughts finally goes towards home
We shall rise in our glory
The white horde will for sure shiver
"We died like men
Therefore we never vanished
Weak is the one the enemy loves
Never betray your origin"
