1. Veneration For The Dead
Cults of death, many is numberThose of death and those of slumberThe grave has more than one nameBurned to ashes or staying the same Life goes on even when deadOn earthly ground or beyondThus have the mighty fallenAnd so the one was gone Trust to gain wisdom from beyondFear to prevent the deceving tongueVeneration for the deadOr neither nor Glorification of the ancientsUpon the threads of the ancestorsWhether gone north or southThe dead will live on
2. Dead Man's Eyes
In an oaken high seatAn aura of ghastly presenceEyes of evil, dead stareDo you wanna get possessed? Evil has many formsFrightened by fateHarvest the livingYou don't wanna get possessed? Buried beneath stonesStill there's fear in the airIt doesn't matter anywayYou are possessed Reaping thy brotherRebellion from the gravesThis is just the beginningOf a terror march unleashed
3. Bewitchment
Eyes of damnationAn oxen with the stareDeath surrounds itBirds and beasts withers Behold the march of the undeadClaws of death around each neckTears of ice – bewitchmentDead to the ground – bewitchment Coal black bodies lifelessBones hammered to dustBuried beneath stonesThe ground is recking Around every cornerIn every empty streetLooko ver your shoulderEyes of evil is omnipresent Sorrow and painParanoia and confusionGhastly presenceDeath itself into the dead of night
4. Second Death
Beneath mountain stonesAn evil of primal forcesUncorrupt and heavyMan is far too weak The headland above the seaThe 2nd burial moundTheir bodies were wearyAnd their minds were dreary All for nothingThough years passA glass of lifeRefilled when emptied Uncorrupt pitch blackWeight of an oxFires to cleanseAnd to reduceAnd to die againAnd to wish for a 2nd death
5. Entering The Beast
Miserable animal wandering aloneWithout logic, logic can't prevailInstinct of primal needsLicking the ashes so futile Burn a bull dapple – greyThree times risen from the graveThe face if evil is unknown Entering the beastOf decayEntering the beastOf decay Gored masterMind left behindLeft to sink in a marshSilence in hereafter
6. Helheim 5
7. Oaken Dragons
The death of a brotherA withstanding trustHail the one who left usSoon to gaze beyond Clear is the skyThe stars to guideOaken dragon sailOur bond of blood is sealed Your trust is laid with meYour journey won't failThe dawning of a new worldThe old one takes you in Spiritual journeyOn a spiritual pathRebirth and death uniteThe eye in the skyEnergy of natureYou're dead but never fallen
8. Thirteen To The Perished
The shroud of darkness tornBy funeral nightskyFar away and beyondFloating ashes and dust Hooves across the heavensThe spirit rose from watery dustThe horses flesh to feedA journey without time To bid farewellGodspeed on the hereafterBody to feed, spirit to ride13 to the perished Sacrifice and pagan prayerOaken dragon and flamesFlesh to feed, hooves to ride13 to the perished
9. The Thrall And The Master
Divide the riches in numbers threeOne to the brothers of allegianceTwo to serve the funeral feastThree to the journey to the other world Embrace this sacrificeShe will serve you wellSleep in the fireTo enter a higher self Ta imot mitt offerHun vil tjene deg velSon I ildenFor å oppnå et hoyere jeg Feast upon the last daysEarthly values will fade awayYou'll leave this worldCaress the flames of oak Dog's cut in half, sacrifice ritualAmong draught beasts, cows, cocks and henThe thrall is passed among menPain is futile, all for the love of the dead
