Heirs of the Northstar

Rape us the time You bring us this loving wave Crosses they rose On our once proud pagan land Those words they spoke were like Needles on my skin And their blessings were like knives Stabbed into my heart I trusted thee O heathen men of the north To hail and fight And to run them out Those words they listened were like Stabs into my back The baptism they had meant That I had lost homeland Cold winds now freeze my eyes ...Now I flee Out of this shame they caused I spread my wings To fly to a realm of my own My eyes are frozen for the icy tears My soul sheds For those betrayers that were not Strong enough in faith

One endless cold star Here I stand... following Thy dark spirit... thy faint light A path across my dreams Take me far... into the unknown fly Over a desert... a snowfield ...and dancing woods I storm the nocturnal sky In the fiery chariots I ride... My dreams are like thy rays... I see them sink into the sands of time ...and fade... My spirit is like thine... Shows only its nightside Always strong and faithful ...and never fails... These snowy woods, this frozen land Here I stand... waiting For thee to come... to show thy face Over this land Once heathen... once proud In the icestorms Of the cold northern winter In the snowy hills and dark woods My heart is forged And that ice will never melt...

Amongst the cold Northern mountains He travells... Wrapped in furs And armed with a bow He is the god of winter Hear me Uller! Ride by me In the battles... and cover me With thy mighty shield O god of winter Born of mother Sif The stepson of thor In the cold winter lies his realm To the vale of Ydalir His footsteps lead There he dwells The god of winter

Via the paths of the four winds Through the icy valleys and hills They came led by two ravens The messengers from the hall of the slain Warriors of a thousand battles Skalds of a thousand stories and tales Riding in a shadow Which will lie over the christian fame Hear the dark woods call Swear for the ancient names Odin, Thor, Valhalla Written into the heathen flames False beliefs fall Hearts of steel begin to pound again In my eyes I almost see Dragon ships setting sails Fathers, watch us ride Through the northern storms And freezing winds We are the horde That came from the snowy sides of hills Brothers up there we greet you just like you - we will never fail Sisters, wait for the call We will come when we hear the Odin's hail... Via the paths of the four winds Through the icy valleys and hills they came led by two ravens The messengers from the hall Of the slain Warriors of a thousand battles Skalds of a thousand stories and tales Riding in a shadow Which will lie over the christian fame

Sitting under a pine The deep silence... unbroken around One dark lake So placid, so cold... Descended night Throws shadows over water Brown leaves fly Autumn is turning into winter What happens around me? It has no meaning... I sleep in my woe This is not my world... For my world lies Beyond other's reach Shadows dancing - my throne My dreams' winterland I behold Through the gates of time unseen In a silent night Somewhere deep inside In the darkest woods In the darkest nights Lies my ancient realm Where are still places For me to find Shadows dancing - my throne My dreams' winterland I behold Through the gates of time unseen In a silent night

The far north Between the snowy falls We stand - we think The time that passed ...The times that are gone For they reminded us Of the times of glory... our pride When our swords could drink The blood of the weak Now they're all gone... Proud men have flown to Valhalla Left behind are only memories That hail us now... We live under a shadow In depression and woe... There hasn't been dignity For a thousand years... There won't be... that's too much to ask Come Fimbulvetr

[Act I: The Death of Balder] Autumn came to an end And the first snow began to fall Balder's face was clouded The dreams of warning had called His mother sought oaths From all this below the sky To not to hurt her son To not to let him die Balder stood there encircled by gods Thrown with stones, spears and hit With sword No damage they had caused, not a wound In jealousy Loki disguised to find Why there was no harm The mother told him that all the things On the earth Had sworn an oath not to harm nor Kill her son 'All? ', he asked and then she told him That only one was too young to swear And mistletoe was the one So Loki went across the frosted land To an ancient tree where mistletoe grew He cut off a piece and Returned to the plain Where gods were still enjoying their game Loki saw Hodur the Blind sitting Outside the ring watching The god's game Loki gave him the twig and offered To guide his hand Pleased Hodur stepped forth And threw the twig across the plain It hit Balder's chest piercing His bright body and he fell Onto the ground in blood The laughter and the joy ceased When Balder's blood spilled On the pure snow of Asg†rd [Act II: A Farewell to the Son of Odin] Balder was set into his ship And there he laid cold With his wife beside him On his breast were all his possessions Placed carefully As the ceremony began The sun sank low over the icy sea Two ravens circled In the clear blue sky Singing their sadness Thor raised his hammer And blessed the pyre Waves carried the ship far to the sea There it burnt bright high Against the darkening sky Odin stood... tears falling from his eyes [Act III: Hermod's Ride to Hel] Through dark howling valleys Of wind swept desolation Hermod rode alone Towards the land of death Sleipnir's hooves in fire Nine days, nine nights Hermod rode to Hel On the farthest shore of Gjoll he came The bridge keeper waited Modgud Her name He asked for the release of Balder His brother She recalled and showed him the path Into the dark Hermod arrived to the palace At the Hel's table among the dead He found his brother sitting Hermod told Balder He had come to take him to Asg†rd That night they sat Chatting and recalling past times He went to Hel and begged her For Balder's release Telling her that all mourned For his decease She promised, if all things weeped For him He'd be free to return Through the valleys so dim Hermod returned and told the gods What Hel had said So messengers were sent to All over the world And all the world wept For their Balder beloved Only one old woman refused: 'Let Hel keep what she had' [Act IV: The Bounding of Loki] Soon the gods found That old woman was Loki Revenge they swore And begin to hunt him Loki spent days as a salmon in waters Or as himself in a house Once the gods found Loki hiding In a river When he jumped to escape Thor caught him into his fist The gods took him to a deep cavern With his sons One day changed into a wolf And the wolf devoured other son's body The gods took his intestines And with them bound Loki to rocks Skadi hung a snake above Loki's head Venom dripping into his mouth So great was the pain That when Loki writhed All th worlds shook and trembled... [Act V: The Final Battle] After Balder's death The gods withdrew from the earth Evil spread and Fimbulvetr arrived Battles raged all over The wolves rose One devoured the sun One the moon Stars fell crushing onto the earth Fenris broke his chains Midgard heaved his body Drowned the land in waves Washed the battlefields bloody Giants marched Fenris approached Gjallarhorn's alarm Echoed in the air The armies of dead marched Lead by Loki the avenger The battlefield of Vigrid Will soon bathe in blood Odin rushed With a spear in his hand Behind him came The heroes of Valhalla And the battle began God against giant And giant against god The brave armies clashed After a long battle Both giants and gods Laid on the ground Never to rise again... [Act IV: A New Heaven, A New Earth] All the earth burnt in flames In times the flames will die One man and one woman survived And they shall bleed a new race Vidar and vali will walk upon A new heaven They'll live upon the Ida plain Where Asg†rd once was And re-build it to be Far greater than before Children of thor will bring Their father's hammer And Balder will return bright Leading the gods in the new age ...The new age under the sign Of the hammer
