1. Comrades of Strength
Comrades in arms unite
To conquer the masters of lies
They are the shepherds of deceit
Who drink the blood of the lamb
But we are the wolves who shall destroy
All there treacherous plans
For we are the sons of tooth and claw
Bound together by natures law
Brothers of honour
Comrades of strength
No time is wasted if it¹s wisely sent
Our light is their darkness
Our darkness is their terror
Now it¹s time to join together
For we are the sons of tooth and claw
Bound together by natures law
We are the ones who shall be strong
For we are the ones who keep fighting on
2. Long Dim Years
Long dim years of the past
Our forefathers struggled and sacrificed
To build a great collective heritage
Ideals higher than themselves
But suffocating controlled media
Moulded our racial identity
The widespread selfishness
Pitiful self satisfied societies
corrupt by false ideas
No sense of honour or loyalty
To the nation which has bred them
The nation which granted them uniqueness (above all)
They snatch it all, with no thanks
As if they had a right
They live ashamed and forgetful of yesterday
Timid and afraid of today
With no faith or passion for tomorrow
No acknowledgement, to the early fathers of our race
Who fought and suffered to protect our blood
So that we would be as we are
So I stand to hail our ancestors of yesterday
And fight to preserve our blood for tomorrow
3. Dying Gasp
I am the dying gasp of the fallen
the last of the flesh chopped from a skeletal frame
blood anointing red the earth
carcass feeding vultures
a vision seen by unseeing eyes
of men hanging from trees
a voice heard by unheeding ears
of men hanging upon crosses
sudden realisation
stabbing the heart
bringing an end to glorious pain
clutching stomach spilling through fingertips
the beginning of eternal rest
torso without limbs
wisdom of the decapitated
the brave who marched into certain slaughter
pierced by point of spear
the completion of ultimate sacrifice
the fulfilment of men who craved immortality
4. Pagan
Relevant words spoken backed up with historical actions
Expand depth of soul and degree of consciousness
No longer bound in shadows, stand in brilliant light
To expose the tyrants lies to unseeing eyes
Ancient memories speak to to the folk
Primitive instincts begin evolution
Evocations of inspiration and life
Against tyrants tools of suppression.
Increase vital energies through experience of nature
For the development of strength and character
Create culture for progress of our folk
To counter the tyrants message of lethargy and sickness
Live for the next personal transformation
Celebrate achievements great and small
Confirm our existence by uniting in pride
Cast aside the shackles of guilt
Remember the souls of our fathers,
Seek the wisdom of our blood,
This is the dawn of reality, avoided for too long.
The illusions are broken, certain fate is revealed.
When our beliefs are what we do
When no one knows compromise
And time is no longer wasted
Then we have won.
5. A Thousand Storms
A thousand storms have rained upon me
A mere single tear of pain and glory
For a life that has chosen to live
To live that chosen life
A thousand storms have rained in glory
A thousand voices I have heard
We are the heathens
We will never be the mass
And never a herd.
6. Time to Die
I see the valkyries fly
High through the sky
So very high
Now I know it is my time to die
So I shall walk into battle with the head held high
And my sword if fist I go
To conquer all the mighty foes
This will be the end of me
Time to start my legacy
7. Krom
Fire and wind come from the sky
From the gods of the sky
But Krom is your god and he lives in the earth
Once giants lived in the earth brother
And darkness of chaos
They fooled krom and took from him
The enigma of steel
Krom was angry and the earth shook
And fire and wind struck down these giants
And threw their bodies in the waters
But in their rage
The gods forgot the riddle of steel and
Left it on the battle field
The ones who found it are just men
Not gods, not giants, just men
And the secret of steel has always carried with it a mystery
You must learn its riddle brother
You must learn its discipline
For no one
No one in this world can you trust
Not men, not women, not beasts
For no one in this wold can you trust
This (steel) you can trust.
(lyrics taken from the film "Conan the Barbarian")
8. From the Shadow
Magic of my ancestors
Invoke an animal powers
Embrace the lights reflections
When attractions to chaos
Stunt thou growth
Embrace the creation
Speak to me warrior, who walks in balance
With goodness in his heart
Teach me the mysteries of rebirth
So I may understand
Let me fall into deep waters
Of wisdom and intuition
Grant passage too flow to and from life
Primal strength hidden in a secret source
Let me rise from the light of chaos
To reflect in your glory
Into the darkness that embraces light
I rise from the shadows of myself
To rise to a yet greater brighter hope within myself
Creation and destruction are one
To the eyes who can see beauty
Son of Odin, I thank thee my wise and beautiful lord
