Tales From the North
By the moon and the stars we're sailing the seas Over hills and the fields sing a-long Hear the wind and the breeze in meadows and trees Long ago in the tales from the north Nine worlds so cold so severed and old in its loneliness Like the stars in the sky Light-years away they flicker They glow in the dark Where moon-shadows fly The gates of norse My passage My course Into Valgrind I go Guardian of Valhalla destened to be Heimdall the watchman of all Keeper of bifrost The power to see All in the tales from the north Two worlds collide when Jotunheims giants return again By the wise Mimir's eyes The gates of norse My passage my course Into Valgrind I go Guardian of Valhalla destened to be Heimdall the watchman of all Keeper of bifrost The power to see All in the tales from the north If we pass the rainbow bridge The realm of gods Guardian of Valhalla Guardian of Valhalla destened to be Heimdall the watchman of all Keeper of bifrost The power to see All in the tales from the north Guardian of Valhalla destened to be Heimdall the watchman of all Keeper of bifrost The power to see All in the tales from the north

When we march to the shore Over the hills Down in the valleys steep We have crossed over fields Sailed seven seas Down in the mountains deep Pouring the mead (hey) Filling the cups (hey) Raising your glass Hold 'em high Then we drink and shout And howl into the night Pounding our shields Getting ready to fight Riding against all odds Then we drink with the gods Drink drink drink We drink with the gods Drink with the gods We have conquered new lands Raiding their shores Down in the valleys steep We have stolen their gold So I've been told Down in the mountains deep Pouring the mead (hey) Filling the cups (hey) Raising your glass Hold 'em high Then we drink and shout And howl into the night Pounding our shields Getting ready to fight Riding against all odds Then we drink with the gods Drink drink drink We drink with the gods Drink with the gods We drink We drink We drink with the gods Pouring the mead (hey) Filling the cups (hey) Raising your glass Hold 'em high Then we drink and shout And howl into the night Pounding our shields Getting ready to fight Riding against all odds Then we drink with the gods Drink drink drink We drink with the gods Drink with the gods We drink with the gods Drink drink drink We drink with the gods Drink with the gods

Into the sea We're riding the storm No sign of land our longboats perform We're all alone No stars in the sky Into the vast forever Raise your sails Reveal your signs Distant shores emerge Unconquered lands Hail my all-father Come sit by my side One eyed and wise My fate you can't hide Show me your wisdom The stories of old All of my dreams unfold Odin’s prayer Out in the void The night sky explode No sight of land We carry our load We're all alone The storm rages on In this we're all together Raise your sails Reveal your signs Distant shores emerge Unconquered lands Here we come Hail my all-father Come sit by my side One eyed and wise My fate you can't hide Show me your wisdom The stories of old All of my dreams unfold Odin’s prayer In the halls of the last kingdom On the walls fire and flame By the sword and the shield Give me strength Hail to the god of thunder In the night fires are burning Son of Bor Father of Thor By the word hear the wise whisper Hail to the king of Asgard Raise your sails Reveal your signs Distant shores emerge Unconquered lands Hail my all-father Come sit by my side One eyed and wise My fate you can't hide Show me your wisdom The stories of old All of my dreams unfold Odin’s prayer

When the mist of morning fade away And vanish in the light of day We begin to feel the presence of the sun On the Hersir's call we charge them all With promise of an endless hall And the tables full of brothers lost The bravest of all For the sake of every battered soul They must walk the line of sorrow On the darkest trails we stand the test of time To the gates of the northern sky Honour and glory will never die Angels at heaven's door Will guide you through the dark Over land and the mountains high Leaving tonight It's my last goodbye Die by the sword and pray And close your eyes You hear the raven's cry In the shade of pine and birch we stay And read the sun to find our way Over sticks and stones we march towards the north Under pale moonlight we plod the trail In heart and mind we cannot fail And the tables turn we reach the shore At dawn we set sail For the sake of every battered soul They must walk the line of sorrow On the darkest trails we stand the test of time To the gates of the northern sky Honour and glory will never die Angels at heaven's door Will guide you through the dark Over land and the mountains high Leaving tonight It's my last goodbye Die by the sword and pray And close your eyes You hear the raven's cry In memory of our brothers carved into stone We send their ashes and bone Farewell on grave boats burn To the gates of the northern sky Honour and glory will never die Angels at heaven's door Will guide you through the dark Over land and the mountains high Leaving tonight It's my last goodbye Die by the sword and pray Die by the sword and pray And close your eyes You hear the raven's cry

After many years of traveling north On the dark and misty roads He was hailing from a land afar He was forced to walk alone When he ended up in northern realms And the tales of ancient lores He could walk amongst the mortals Far from home I'll make them all see visions I'll be their prime advisor When it's time I will betray my past In the prophecies there's no tomorrow Legacies of death and sorrow Lost his eye forever And imprisoned bound to be Over hundred winters later He was bribed by promises of freedom Never broke the silence By the magic of Mimir's crystal eye I believe the queen of Valkyries Holds the key to every door She was sailing from a distant land She was washed up on the shore On the morning of her wakening Til the sun had settled down She was royalty to be To wear the crown I'll make them all see visions I'll be their prime advisor When it's time I will betray my past In the prophecies there's no tomorrow Legacies of death and sorrow Lost his eye forever And imprisoned bound to be Over hundred winters later He was bribed by promises of freedom Never broke the silence By the magic of Mimir's crystal eye Has the power to see it all See the future the rise and fall In the end he will never fly again (never fly again) Be the wisest of men to write the history In death I see I cannot be the master of it all In the prophecies there's no tomorrow Legacies of death and sorrow Lost his eye forever And imprisoned bound to be Over hundred winters later He was bribed by promises of freedom Never broke the silence By the magic of Mimir's crystal eye

He was massive, a giant all made of stone On the back of a horse so high, so he could reach the sky They were out on a mission in blood and bone On a track, on a course we fly, we hear the battle cry Ride, win the race and stake your claim 'Cause I will rest my case when you have your place in the ground When the giants march across the land You can hear the thunder roar When they break the trees and stone by hand You can feel it to the core Smash him into pieces He was accidentally trapped In the end he was saved by his son Between the enemy lines On the day of the duell the two collide When he hurled his hammer high, so high into the sky With a piece of the whetstone still inside When his hammer the giant struck The shattered pieces fly Ride, win the race and stake your claim 'Cause I will rest my case when you have your place in the ground When the giants march across the land You can hear the thunder roar When they break the trees and stone by hand You can feel it to the core Smash him into pieces He was accidentally trapped In the end he was saved by his son Between the enemy lines He had crossed the line and paid the price Now he is spread out on the ground Should have seen the signs of his defeat Their secret's safe but they have led the way When the giants march across the land You can hear the thunder roar When they break the trees and stone by hand You can feel it to the core Smash him into pieces He was accidentally trapped In the end he was saved by his son Between the enemy lines He was saved by his son Between the enemy lines

In this frozen landscape of winter Fading hours of light The serpent sleep in the shadow-lair There's grey wolves everywhere Only the strong survive Struggle to stay alive A light will shine in the darkness A beacon of life in the distant sky There is a fire in you The flame never dies By the snow-covered mountains we roam It's a place in the north we call our home On the hillside where my father was born Land of heroes I will grow as heaven will darken Always training to fight The battles planned come a time of war When hellhounds leaving shore Only the brave survive Destined to stay alive A light will shine in the darkness A beacon of life in the distant sky There is a fire in you The flame never dies By the snow-covered mountains we roam It's a place in the north we call our home On the hillside where my father was born Land of heroes By the snow-covered mountains we roam It's a place in the north we call our home On the hillside where my father was born Land of heroes By the snow-covered mountains we roam It's a place in the north we call our home On the hillside where my father was born Land of heroes By the snow-covered mountains we roam It's a place in the north we call our home On the hillside where my father was born Land of heroes In the land of heroes

So far away a foreign land We're strong in mind and fast at hand A gathering of souls we'll fight 'em all We tear the walls and sail the seas As strong as any man can be Our fate is sealed The web of Wyrd is all In a shade of grey we will fade away Only time will tell my tale And the break of day will take us all the way Let my eagles be your guide to heaven Cross the northern trail Over fields and through the deepest woods Your instinct never fail Follow pride and follow glory And you'll find your way back home In the end you will prevail in fire's red When we sail among the dead So many times So long ago A winterland of ice and snow Prepare the ships for battle once again We break the waves and ride the wind Forgive no father when I've sinned My fate is sealed in darkness Hear my call In a shade of grey we will fade away Only time will tell my tale And the break of day will take us all the way Let my eagles be your guide to heaven Cross the northern trail Over fields and through the deepest woods Your instinct never fail Follow pride and follow glory And you'll find your way back home In the end you will prevail in fire's red When we sail among the dead When I'm back from the raid And the seasons turning over I have reached my goal I have seen it all the way Let my eagles be your guide to heaven Cross the northern trail Over fields and through the deepest woods Your instinct never fail Follow pride and follow glory And you'll find your way back home In the end you will prevail in fire's red When we sail among the dead

In the time of ancient gods Where everything is staged inside a dream And the fate of every man is a gift from above The cloudy blood red sky In the game of hide and seek Rules are set by masters of deceit Over life and death we play on the darkest day Let your anger lead the way If the sun and the moon shining over you and it's true Lesson is learned and I carry on But if sorrow and pain is the end of the game we play Evil find a way When the clouds roll in and the storm begin We have sold our souls indulged in every sin On the back of our shields we have carved their names In the blood on the fields I will stake my claims For the better of my days I've lived my life in shadows of myself I have made the sacrifice I have seen the lies Been the burden of the proof If the sun and the moon shining over you and it's true Lesson is learned and I carry on But if sorrow and pain is the end of the game we play Evil find a way When the clouds roll in and the storm begin We have sold our souls indulged in every sin On the back of our shields we have carved their names In the blood on the fields I will stake my claims When the clouds roll in and the storm begin We have sold our souls indulged in every sin On the back of our shields we have carved their names In the blood on the fields I will stake my claims Deep in my heart in my mind and my soul Waiting for darkness to fall Roaming the trails hear the woods come alive The creatures The giants so tall When the clouds roll in and the storm begin We have sold our souls indulged in every sin On the back of our shields we have carved their names In the blood on the fields I will stake my claims When the clouds roll in and the storm begin We have sold our souls indulged in every sin On the back of our shields we have carved their names In the blood on the fields I will stake my claims

One by one we form the wall Back to back we all stand tall An army with the full force A thousand stronger men from the north No remorse here will be found Grind them down into the ground The gods will favour our side And be our master our guide We fight whenever We die together The battle will give us pride Break the walls and storm their sanctity Make the calls Unleash their king to be On and on We're the wolves of the sea Armoured and shield on our backs On and on We're the wild and the free Come meet my friends sword and axe Two by two we scout the beach Arrows fly We're out of reach An ambush set in the hills A sharpened knife in a hand that kills No repent No sacrifice Look into your fathers eyes The gods will be without shame They make the rules of the game We stay together We fall whenever The out outcome is all the same Break the walls and storm their sanctity Make the calls Unleash their king to be On and on We're the wolves of the sea Armoured and shield on our backs On and on We're the wild and the free Come meet my friends sword and axe When the howling wind is filling our sails And the dragon rips the ocean in tears We ride on the waves into hostile waters Grim is the way of the sea On and on We're the wolves of the sea Armoured and shield on our backs On and on We're the wild and the free Come meet my friends Come meet my friends sword and axe

An army left the shallow waters Fjords and mountain ridge A massive fleet Three hundred ships We're off to Stamford bridge It's the last time we embark on a quest And we'll never sail again In the memory of our fathers Who gave their lives away In the favour of our brothers I will pray We were soldiers meant to be We were rulers of the sea Travelled east and west and south We owned the north Let the dragon steer our ships We deny the crucifix At the battle in ten six six King Harald led his waiting army Took them by surprise A single axeman held them off Until they closed his eyes It's the last time we embark on a quest And we'll never sail again In the memory of our fathers Who gave their lives away In the favour of our brothers I will pray We were soldiers meant to be We were rulers of the sea Travelled east and west and south We owned the north Let the dragon steer our ships We deny the crucifix At the battle in ten six six It's the end of an age And an end of an era It's our time to go down in history We were soldiers meant to be We were rulers of the sea Travelled east and west and south We owned the north Let the dragon steer our ships We deny the crucifix At the battle in ten six six
