Battlecry

Soaring - Dancing on the wind Eagles - See them flying free! Masters - Rule the seven winds All hail - The eagles from above! You shall have cause to fear: Sacrifice the eagle's blood! When aloft stand our spears Drink up the eagle's blood! Coming - The north's purest breed Spreading - Their mighty, wide wings! Kingdom - Of the Heaven's is their own We hail - The royal vanguard of the Gods! You shall have cause to fear: Sacrifice the eagle's blood! When aloft stand our spears Drink up the eagle's blood! Flying - On pinions of freezing wind Burning - My heart's desire to be again With them - From Midgaards to Walhall Behold - The eagle's blood is strong! You shall have cause to fear: Sacrifice the eagle's blood! When aloft stand our spears Drink up the eagle's blood!

Prophecies are written there on high By the hand of Gods on the cloudy across - I will fulfill each one and all I will meet my fate with spear, shield and sword! Thunder rends the celestial dome Ravens call to the one-eyed God: Thor battles dragons in the sky As we, below, raise the battlecry! To fight as warriors fight To die as heroes only die: To dream the everlasting dream Through the flames of the fray I ride! Metal on metal rings the funeral bell: It tolls the hour of demise For all my enemies alike When forth to meet them I ride! Thunder rends the celestial dome ravens call to the one-eyed God: Thor battles dragons in the sky As we, below, raise the battlecry! I rise on the wind, I ride like a curse! I ride on the field, I ride down the foe! I ride across the vale; I ride 'neath the stars I ride upon the horse no man could ever ride! And when I reach the sky I know I will have died - Screaming the battlecry!

Blacksmith, hammer the iron Temper and shape it for war - Arm my hand with thy forge's best For I sail with the dawn to foreign shores! Fell deeds of death await me Blood and fire in the heart of battle The song of Valkyries from the sky Is what sets my veins aflame and gets me high! Axes dyed blood-red; The breath of Odin down my neck - Allfather walk beside me today And soon I'll join you at thy table! Ravens fill the sky And black-feathered arrows alike - A song of death rides the gates An epitaph for warrior that fell this day... Crimson froths the stream Steel is cold and fears no hate: I will ride upon the raging waves And storm the yonder shore, fearless and brave! Axes dyed blood-red; The breath of Odin down my neck - Allfather walk beside me today And soon I'll join you at thy table!

The ancient tablets of Babylon Recall the coming of the Gods Down to earth in splendor untold On winged chariots made of gold... The great Gods of royal blood Keepers of the universe - Three hundred on the Earth Three hundred in the sky... The Anunnaki descend on the Earth To bring to men wisdom and law - They are the kings from the starry dome The celestial giants of legends old! Anointed by Marduk's hand To reign over us mortals frail And bring us forth from the caves - Under the sun to rejoice and sing! Celestial giants on chariots of fire Are coming down on our primitive Earth: They bring with them such wondrous gifts The secrets of the cosmic spheres... The Anunnaki descend on the Earth To bring to men wisdom and law - They are the kings from the starry dome The celestial giants of legends old!

I strung my bow and honed my knife With baying hounds I went into the wild; Oisin is my name - I am of the Fianna On the shores of Lough Leane I fell ofor Niamh... She was "Would you ride with me?" "Aye, let us away my love!" I replied - Through icy lakes and mystic paths Into the otherworld, where the Danann reign... The creek by the road sings At my going by - These lands they have known me As a hunter in the wild... Mortal years spent in bliss - ten score at least; The dance of the Sidhe, the wine of her lips Kept me spellbound to the undying lands: Never once thinking of what I left behind... Then one day, delight turned into yearning To see the hills that frame my beloved Killarney - She said "Goodbye my love, for you shall not return To the sunlit lands where time is naught..." The creek by the road sings At my going by - These lands they have known me As a hunter in the wild... Something in my died that day Back from icy lakes and mystic paths Back from the otherworld, where the Danann reign I rode without looking back, blinded by tears a' laving...

Thickening mist encircling the hill An eerie song rides on the frosty gate Fires are lit to drive the dark away The druid is standing, in silence he prays... The moon is reflected on dark icy lakes Their waters are stirring to the arcane call; Deep woods a' shiver when open the gates: The mound yawns wide - out pour the Faery Folk... In the ring of stones We're invoking the Sidhe! By the blood of the bull We're invoking the Sidhe! By the leaf of the oak We're invoking the Sidhe! In the ancient tongue We're invoking the Sidhe! Silver bells chime and stars fall in the sky; The North Wind both wisher the name of the One: The One who would cross into the realm Of the Lordly Ones and dwell there are king... Let me be the one of whom prophecy speaks How yearn I to ride to the otherworld tonight! Let me dance by their side in circle of light For I'm in love with the queen - the queen of the Sidhe! In the ring of stones We're invoking the Sidhe! By the blood of the bull We're invoking the Sidhe! By the leaf of the oak We're invoking the Sidhe! In the ancient tongue We're invoking the Sidhe!

Signs I can see Bright astral glyphs Mourning in the sky; Death she walks And withers lilies of the night Spirits of the wind remember - whisper - reveal! I'll be tidings for my soul In the clash of chaos and law What destiny's in store For the pale prince on a moonlit shore? Spirits of the air recall my glorious deeds of old! Where the sky meets the crystal sea Phantoms of the past Actors wearing deathly white masks Dance such a sorrowful waltz (Specters induce delirious dreams of what is to be) In the tone of dragon growls Arioch unfetter thy hounds! I'm riding flames, I ride enraged To sound the horn of fate! By moonlight I shall fight Countless the kills I claim By ecliptic light Justify my cruel black fame! "Slay them all, burn the foe! The bright empire is above all! Slay them all, burn the foe! My empire's above chaos and law!"

A tell voice rides upon the wind As it blows Through the forest of our arrayed spears: This fell voice is my killing command... Ten leagues ride as the raven flies Pounding past the fields of demise In shame, neath crossed Samnite pikes Lo! I have returned from my exile... Now those who stand and face me Shall come to know me as death! Now those who turn and flee from me Shall come to know me as revenge! A sword is in my hands, a fire in my eyes - There's hatred in my heart that burns white: A the hour of my wrath you will all fucking die! Called forth from the grave By creed of ancient pride Through your gates I bestride: I have come for your life! I'm coming down as a maelstrom On the bread, black, leathery wings Of a long prophesized armageddon For I am the avenging hand of God! A sword is in my hands, a fire in my eyes - There's hatred in my heart that burns white: At the hour of my wrath you will all fucking die!

Beneath the endless azure of the sky I'll ride a horse as black as the night With sword in hand raised aloft To catch the pure white light So that my blade is blessed With the Rune of Morning Glory And the chill of the wind Is caught twixt the coal-black curls Of my helmet's mane That billows in my wake Like a banner of death unfurled - A distant warning for my enemies to see As I come riding down the hill Past the dolmens and the stones Through the trees that haunt With sword in hand a' glimmer in the light For which I bled, was hunted down With sword in hand I'll defend Stand my ground and die glad of heart For a swordsman knows no death Only victory or Valhalla in the end
