1. Path of Wotan
I soar with memory and thought
Over the darken skies of a frozen mind
To seek the light of my purity
Where I run with wolves
Bound to honour, loyalty, will and truth
I run through autumns crisp mourning breath
Over the moist green hills
Of my ancestors lands
To seek the lines of my people
Back to the beginning
I find mighty mountains of ice and snow
Where cracks in stone tell old forgotten law
I hear the winds chant their wild songs
Of tooth and claw
Circling the pillar of irminsul
I wonder
The old wood forests of natures law
Beyond good and evil paths
To seek the wisdom of my roots
To call to the essence of aryan man
Father Odin hears my call.
2. Under the Banner of Wotan
We stand here tonight
United by one cause
Our weapons gleam bright
We are ready to fight
For the blood of our ancestors
For the future of our kind
It¹s time to wipe away the weak
From the face of the earth
Listen to the voices from beyond
Their wisdom shall guide you
Hear the call of ages
It¹s fire shall burn within you
Gathered here, as warriors against time
Destined to rule once more
The flames of destiny burn in our veins
Our enemies cannot be forgiven
Now ride forth, into victory or death
There is no other choice left
Men will fight, men will die
Under the banner of WOTAN ride
3. Dawn of Eternal
A golden dawn rises
From a night of carnage
We revel in the burning stench
Of disembowelled bodies
Their lies will reign no more
Slain by our blades of truth
They gaze upon their dying dreams
As their age of falsehood fades forever
No more pity for inferior life
No more crimes against natures design
Victory on the day of the sword
Final burning of their world
Slaughter, mortality, final pain
Now the enemies sign shall fade
Forever...
4. Fenris Unleashed
Behold the spawn of chaos
Unleashed upon the world
At the dawn of creation¹s end
Finally released of his fetters
Once bound by Tyr
Devourer of life, tied down
And now, mortals cower
The wolf spawn roams free
Born of a god, and a giantess
Jaws span the earth and sky
Poised to devour all in his path
The hound now strikes
To cast aside life's bonds
Cut the cord of existence
One shall fall, one shall slay
So it is foretold.
5. Cycles of Death
From the mists of creation
The warrior spirit has followed
Through the veins of europeans
Waiting to be reawakened
Waiting to be released
To restore our true identity
In these days of increasing chaos
We enter the cycle of death
The foreign religions
And christianised faiths
These cultural diseases
That plague our race
Ancient heathen ways
Have been scorned
Our ancestors faiths
Will be restored
The blade of destruction we wield
Devastation our foes shall feel
Fires will burn
And up from the ashes shall rise
Rebirth of our heritage
Our destiny our culture
Life, destruction, renewal
Hail, Hail, Hail
6. Hel
Wandering through snow covered wildness
Into the clouds, along white pathways
Ice coated trees and freezing ridges
Through another forest alive and vital
Ageing trees whisper mythology
Freys craft halts at the gaping abyss
Yawning black anti-mass
Abstract plague
I've known total darkness and solitude
Braved the winter sea before sun rise
The sun rising while the stars are bright and the moon is full
The sky blazes red while pitched black, blended with blue and green
Encountered that which was unknown within
Knowing not what had been discovered
Bellowing curses at the gods was foolish
As I drowned without gold for Ran
At the depths of my own hel, Tired and frozen
Starved, empty, Cold memories and no future
No longer tempted by poison
To suppress desire for life, an elusive dream
Banished to despair in the depths of my own hel
Where Balder speaks to me
And when I understand, what he has to say
I awaken
With knowledge of what is good for my kind
Inspiration and wisdom
I speak and act relevance
For glory for Odhin
7. White Winters Fields
Eyes of winters cold
Stare upon us
White winters forest
Stands before us
Elders once told
Of blood melting ice
Warriors hung from trees
And were sacrificed
Pierced by a spear
Bloodied for Odin
White winters fields
Stained blood red
White winters fields
Hundreds are dead
8. Ancestor of the Gods
Far more than I a warrior
A noble man of this land
My creative fires burn within
Inspire my crafts, magic and Asatru
Learning, teaching of ancestral wisdom
Duty, honour, loyalty my strengths within
Ancestor of the gods
I see the noble warrior
I see the heroic explorer
I see the mighty conqueror
Hail to my gods... Hail
9. Quest for Knowledge
I know that I hung
On the wind swept tree
Swung there for nine long nights
Gashed with a blade
Bloodied for Odin
Myself an offering to myself
Knotted to that tree
No man knows
Wither the roots of it run
None gave me bread
None gave me drink
Down to the deepest depths I peered
To snatch up the runes
With a roaring scream
I fell in a dizzied swoon
Well being I won and wisdom too
I grew and joyed in my growth
From a word to a word
From a deed to another deed
10. Victory Hail
The burning embers of the dragon ship
Carry my remains towards eternal realms
To be divine and true
Battles without scars behold
Cause to strive and not to yield
This long house being structured
Family, Nation, victory
Battles under these symbols remain
choose to strive and not to yield
Victory or Valhalla
Hail!
11. Emerge
I've stared into the flames
Of ancestral memories
Emerging myself within
My unconscious
With scarred eyes I've seen
The light and the darkness
My gods are true and pure
Once forgotten and now remembered
My honour commands loyalty
Voices of divinity grasp me
Into the ranks of the chosen warriors
Emerge!
Moral guardians of earth
Fight for your homeland
Stand and emerge.... For war
12. Blood, Death, Honour
A solitary raven flies in circles
Above the fog shrouded field
Where lies a dying warrior
His blood sinks into the ground
As he honours his mighty foe
Who has vanquished him in battle
As the first rays of the sun rise
He will not die alone
As the embers of his life burn low
A horn can be heard in the distance...
From a storm battered sky
For blazing chariots ride
Hailing the dying mans spirit
As life severs its final ties
Into the realm of Asgard
They carry the celebrated to here
To the halls of battle slain
With a sword in hand he will go
To feast and to fight
Until the final day
When the brothers and sons of Odin
Into Ragnaroks final cataclysm shall march
13. Queen of the Dead
Of her fate in the hands of Allfather
Hel cast into Nifelheim
Ruling the realm of the dead
She presides over the underworlds
Crowned queen to those who perish
Other than in battle
Manifestations of Wyrd
Is she alive or is she dead
Dark goddess of magic and death
Her blood binds with serpent and wolf
Queen of the dead
A path lies north and heads down
Where the maiden Modgud be found
Guarding the bridge covered with gold
Over the mighty river Gjall
Freezing cold, filled with weapons
The icy river flows
A protective barrier
The hel-gate, the corpse-gate
Surrounds and divides
Where the great hel-hound Garm lies
Mistress of the dark forces
Her beauty purely sinister
Bound to the earth
She¹s a mighty force in nature
Weaving her web
Queen of the dead
