(Intro)
Blow wind blow
And guide our ships away
To the open sea
Go just go
To the unknown we go
To the open sea
The spring has come to melt the ice.
The sea awaits, free and wild.
The winter left to come again,
But some of us may not return.
We board our ships with cheers and songs.
We leave behind our rights and wrongs.
Our families we bid farewell.
We have chosen Valhalla, not Hel.
(Bridge)
And we're always standing firm, sharp and bold.
God Thor will guide our ships to the shore.
(Chorus)
The oars will strike on and on and on.
It spreads as far as can see the eye.
The wind will blow and we will sound the horns.
We journey to Where the water meets the sky.
Spread the word
The Vikings are on board
Spread the word
The journey never ends
As the longship sails
We move onwards
Spread the word
The journey never ever ends
Our banner mighty Mjolnir flies
Our banner guides our weary souls
Hear the thunder when it cracks the sky
God of Thunder guide our weary souls
(Bridge)
Always standing firm, sharp and bold.
God Thor will guide our ships to the shore.
(Chorus)
(Outro)
Blow wind blow
And guide our ships away
From the burning shores

Fire in my mind and flames in my soul.
Thunder from the sky comes to burn us all.
Oh I see the danger comes from far away.
Pyro, dragons, demons. Is it judgment day.
Oh No!
Viking warriors burn the temple of our God.
Run my brothers run, no point to make a stand.
Pagan warriors kill and bathe in Christian blood.
Stop oh make it stop, show mercy oh my God.
Oh No!
Evil poison flows
Running throw my veins
Fear, despair and hate
Rulers in my brain
Oh I see these men
Blackening the sun
Hunting down my brothers
Killing them for fun
A desert land
Covered in ice
I feel so strange
I close my eyes
Why have you Lord
Abandoned me
So many gods
I cannot see
You!
The church of light has fallen
Pyro has burnt my home
The place where I belonged
Is now ashes and stones
My sorrow rings so great
It's burning deep inside
Pyro took it away
My faith and my guide

I see the future through visions of blood.
Doom and despair the word of the gods.
I see though the darkness but dark is the way.
There's no smile or joy in the things that I say.
I read the runes and I throw the bones.
Wisdom or madness, symbols on stones.
The meaning behind the things that I see
A part of your soul mysterious and free.
(Chorus)
Volva
Witch, seer, mistress
Volva
Death, fear, sadness
Volva
Saga foretold
Volva
Secrets you hold
I'll tell you a truth
That can be a lie
You'll hear what you want to hear.
The secrets I hold
A piece of your mind
You'll hear what you want to hear.

Blood on the Snow
07:37
|
|||
|
Father oh spare my soul
Take me before old age
I'll die screaming your name
Release me from the berserker's rage!
Found each other in a snow-white field
Eyes of fire fighting for the lead.
Who will seize the moment to attack
Standing face to face one will not go back.
Prisoners of their eternal hate
One of them was born to die that day.
Holding up his handaxe to the sky
Roaring from his soul, it's his last warcry.
Last warcry!
(Chorus)
Death by steel
Hot the blood from the wound soon will flow.
Shields will crush
What remains is his Blood on the Snow.
Blood on the Snow!
Blood on the Snow!
It was the Age of axe and spear!
Crows are gathering
It's time to feast
One more warrior victim of the beast.
Honour for the one who did fight brave.
Glory follows to his burning grave.
One more Viking who was born to fight.
In Valhalla he will drink tonight.
The berserker did not meet his fate.
For his day to die he has to wait.
I see the flames rising high above.
I see to Asa Bay there's just one road.
The Valkyries ride to carry me up home.
Odhen awaits me in his golden hall.
Don't cry for me I'll find my way
-From the bards' songs my name you will know-
Just burn my ship and let it sail
-I am gone, now I'm gone
But my blood still remains on the snow-
I died by steel the skalds will say
-Bound by flame, bound by flame
From the bards' songs my name you will know-
A warrior's death I did not fail
-I am gone, now I'm gone
But my blood still remains on the snow-
All that remains as I'm rising up home
-Blood on the Snow-
My name in the stories, my blood on the snow
(Chorus)
Father I'm at your side
Your guest and adopted son
Ready to die again
Within the final flood

(Odhen's verse)
Beloved son, son of mine
Gentle to all, good and kind
The Norns foretold your mortal fate
Victim of a primal hate.
I did my best to stop their weave
To break what fate was bound to give
But now you lay before me dead
Burning on your sailing bed
(Hermodr's verse)
Brother I'll come for you
To bring your light back home
The world will cry for you
To save your gifted soul
(Hela's verse)
How do you dare to enter my realm
What do you hope to achieve
You cannot claim what is rightfully mine
The favour of Helheim you seek
If it's true that this brother of yours
Is so dear to all
The whole world should cry for his loss
Tears like rain should fall
(Loke's verse)
I've been waiting for so long
Now I'm having my revenge
I am right and you are wrong
The world you made in flames will end
Betrayal brings the end of light
The world won't cry the tears you need
Imprison me but I'll be free
The gods of Asgard will be killed
OhOhOhOh!
(Hermodr's verse)

The Meaning of Hate
04:49
|

|
Oh hate's power
Power of his kin
To rule was his desire
The fate of gods his dream
Pushed by his ambitions
Treacherous his ways
Wicked and malicious
Slyest of his race
OhOhOhOh
(Chorus)
This is the meaning of hate
The meaning of hate
This is the meaning of hate
This is the meaning of hate
The meaning of hate
This is the meaning if hate
The meaning of hate
Force
That moves the seas
(That moves the seas)
And shakes
The earth with might
(The earth with might)
His primal
Hate for Thor
(His hate for Thor)
Will lead
Them to their final fight
Α devourer, a giant wolf
Bane of Fimbultyr
Fear gives birth to hate
And hate gives birth to fear
OhOhOhOh
His fate is bound to bring
The final stand of final stands
His heart is full of hate
An army of chaos he commands
On burning ground his head will roll
Cut off by Heimdall's hand
Knowing as he falls
Asgardians soon will meet their end
OhOhOhOh
(Chorus)

Bring the Hammer Down
05:39

|
So many heads you crushed
Skulls of the giants of ice
Thor in your lightning we trust
Your strength and your two burning eyes
Anger and rage oh Thor
They tremble on your sight
Son of the gods of war
Raise your hammer and fight
(Bridge)
So many giants you have destroyed
The world's still full of them
Oh Thor almighty show them your power
Midgard needs you again
(Chorus)
OhOhOhOh
OhOhOhOh
OhOhOhOh
God of Thunder
OhOhOhOh
OhOhOhOh
OhOhOhOh
Bring the Hammer Down
Thor
God of Thunder arise
Thor
Master of the Hammer
Thor
Set the skies ablaze
Thor
Fear follows your gaze
Thor
Every giant and troll
Thor
By the Hammer they fall
Thor
Rest till your final stand
Thor
In Ragnarok your death will come
(Bridge)
(Chorus)

Ragnarok
05:48

|
(Intro)
Three years of winter bitterness and conflict.
Three roosters will warn the Gods, the Giants and the Dead.
The Nine Worlds will burn and sink into the boiling sea.
Death's our only glory
We were born to die
Watch the Valkyries riding
Coming from the sky
Take me to Valhalla
Make me meet my fate
For the final battle
I will not be late
Songs of epic heroes
Who have died with pride
Now they are gathered,
Standing side by side
Raise your swords and fight
Fight in Odhen's name
For the brave triumph
For the fallen fame
The children of the wolf
Will devour the moon and the sun
The end of the world
The end of the world soon will come
The mighty beast will break
His unbreakable eternal chains
The future is at stake
Tomorrow might not have remains
The ship Nagelfar
Will sail from the realm of the dead
With the sly one on board
Will carry the armies of Hel
(Shield wall)
Mighty Thor and the serpent
Finally they'll meet at last
There will be no more future
Both will die, there is no past
Darkness, Fire and Frost
Giants and Gods spill their blood
Death only prevails
Death prevails on Vigrid land
Thousands of Einherjar, warriors
All of them predestined to fall
Walking fearless and strong
Are called by the blowing golden horn
The call of Ragnarok
The call of Ragnarok
The call of Ragnarok
The call of Ragnarok
(Outro)
And thus will be the Twilight of the Gods.
The end of their days and a new beginning for mankind.

ORMEN Athens, Greece
The watchful eye of Heimdall has caught a ship setting sail on the Aegean Sea. It bears the emblem of the snake and it
travels north. Skalds are on board, playing songs about legendary warriors who seek glory, fame and plunder. Hymns about the Gods of War and the end of their days.
They recite stories filled with blood, heroism and treachery.
They tell Tales of Darkness Fire and Frost...
