Call of the Valkyrie
08:00
|
|||
Searching for inner peace
Tranquil and soothing
With the setting sun on the horizon
Comes my twilight
Birds of prey circling
An aura of stillness lingers
Chosen to ascend
Fearless and with pride
My eyes do not betray me
The sky opens wide
An enchanting voice
Calling my name
In the mist
I see shadows ride
Arrival of a valkirye
To carry me home
Lying on the field
Bleeding from my side
Seeing what will come
As I close my eyes
To sing with my brethren
Around tables so great
Feast as one of them
Einherjer I will be
My eyes do not betray me
The sky opens wide
An enchanting voice
Calling my name
In the mist
I see shadows ride
Arrival of a valkirye
To carry me home
"Deyr fé,
deyja frændr,
deyr sjálfr et sama;
ek veit einn,
at aldri deyr:
dómr um dauðan hvern."
"Cattle die,
kinsmen die
you yourself die;
I know one thing
which never dies:
the fate of the honored dead"

Queen of the Underworld
05:33
|

I was born of mischief
giant blood in my veins
an unholy alliance, shunned by the gods
Destined to fall from grace
Serpent and wolf
My brothers two
Judged, doomed and exiled
By the asa gods
Cast out from asgard
Rejected by the gods
Doomed to rule the cowards in death
Seated by Hvergelmir
In solitude I rule
Over the realm of the dead
I am Hel
Abominations we were deemed
Banished from the great hall
Prophesied to bring destruction to the world
Cursed and shunned by all
Forced upon me
Was the realm of Hel
Far below the roots
Of the great world tree
Cast out from asgard
Rejected by the gods
Doomed to rule the cowards in death
Seated by Hvergelmir
In solitude I rule
Over the realm of the dead
I am Hel
On judgement day, my legions will come forth, and Naglfar will set sail
The Gods will tremble in fear of us three as we gather our strength
My revenge will be final, as my armies march, against the golden hall
Cast out from asgard
Rejected by the gods
Doomed to rule the cowards in death
Seated by Hvergelmir
In solitude I rule
Over the realm of the dead
I am Hel

I Hel Du Väntar
04:56
|

Jag vandrar i ett öde landskap
Utan riktning eller mål
Allt jag hade, togs ifrån mig
Dömd till en solitär evighet
I lågornas sken syns din silhuett
Varje rörelse ger falskt hopp
Minnen rivs upp och hålls vid liv
Det som var och kunnat bli
Ödets trådar spann din väg
Till evig vila dig tog
Med öppna armar jag vet
Att i Hel du väntar på mig
Planlöst är mitt sökande
Efter svar som aldrig ges
Hur ska jag dig finna
Är mitt öde bestämt
Få ett hopp om frid igen
Endast tiden kan utvisa
Vilken väg som till mig valts
Över Gjallarbron, till dig
Eller Bifrost, utan dig
Ett dimhöljt sinne ger ingen ro
Måste fly, bara ta mig någonstans
Likt en själlös nomad utan mål
Driver runt under skymningshimlen
Tar min flykt under trädens valv
Där finns trygghet, frid och glömska
Ibland tycks jag för en stund förtränga
Att i Hel du väntar på mig
Planlöst är mitt sökande
Efter svar som aldrig ges
Hur ska jag dig finna
Är mitt öde bestämt
Få ett hopp om frid igen
Endast tiden kan utvisa
Vilken väg som till mig valts
Över Gjallarbron, till dig
Eller Bifrost, utan dig
Till ett vägskäl i livet tiden mig fört
Vet ej vilken stig att vandra
Att dö som en ynkrygg och fly från allt
Eller att dö med ära
Vid tanken på att i en evighet
I efterlivet vara utan dig
Mitt val tycks enkelt, men så svårt
För i Hel du väntar på mig
Planlöst är mitt sökande
Efter svar som ej ges
Hur ska jag dig finna
Är mitt öde bestämt
Få ett hopp om frid igen
Ett beslut jag kunde fatta
Min egen väg jag valt
Över Gjallarbron, till dig
Inte Bifrost, utan dig

Battleborn
06:54
|
|||
Born of a harsh land
Children of the north
Forged by the wild
Tempered by the cold
Honorbound and merciless
Feared by all who oppose
Sons of the allfather
They march into battle with pride
Battleborn
Hear the cries of havoc
No fear or remorse
With fury of the storm
Baptised in blood
Marching with heads held high
Echoing their warcry
Striking fear into
The hearts of the foe
Born again in the heat of battle
Their true nature is revealed
When the turmoil subsides
Only the strongest remain
Battleborn
Hear the cries of havoc
No fear or remorse
With fury of the storm
Baptised in blood
With animalistic rage
Fire in their eyes
Spreading fear in the hearts of the weak
Dreaded are the norsemen
Who feel no pain
The chosen men of the gods
On the eve of battle
With ravens two
Watching over whom
Courage holds true
The allseeing eye
Favours the brave
Over scorched fields they march
No mercy for the defeated
Death is certain
No odds to grim
Cries of anguish
Their everlasting hymn

Today I Return
08:38
|
|||
The shore is closing in
Like visions of a haunted past
Soon I will greet my kin
A long journey over at last
Alone and forlorn
All others were lost
From brothers I was torn
While bifrost they crossed
To enter the gates
of the hall up high
Spun were the threads of fate
In peace now they lie
For the east we were bound
the wind was on our side
As the land behind us faded
Sorrow filled my heart
The seas were rough
Unpredictable and treacherous
As if the great serpent
Himself was on our trail
Countless years have passed
Full of misery, pain and grief
The life of a thrall
Was not easy to endure
As the great allfather
Granted me the strength
I survived
My suffering was through at last
May Frey protect me
On my journey back home
May the dragons head guide me
Onwards we go
For one day I'll drink
In the hall of the gods
And sit by the allfathers side
But today I return
My scars remind me
Of the whips on my back
But all I endured
Clinging to a lost hope
Of one day returning
To the land where I belong
The glistening snow, endless woods
Oh how I long
May Frey protect me
On my journey back home
May the dragons head guide me
Onwards we go
For one day I'll drink
In the hall of the gods
And sit by the allfathers side
But today I return
I hear the wind calling
Whispers on the breeze
The taste of salt from
the ocean on my lips
The sorrow of my heart
Slowly turns to joy
Home at long last
My eyes begin to tear
May Frey protect me
On my journey back home
May the dragons head guide me
Onwards we go
For one day I'll drink
In the hall of the gods
And sit by the allfathers side
But today I return
