Songs of Battle

[Music by Wircki / Lyrics by Wircki & NRQ] Afar the torch was lit and now it has grown to a river of flames So very cold are these trails of north that we'll march singing forth Fearless we rush upon your blades, Until death or victory and fame Let our hymn be sang upon the slaughterlands of man [Ref.:] Songs of battle, born in flames Forged in the fire and clashes of steel Songs of battle, born in flames From a paganland still free Upon meadows of blood and lakes of fire our hymn echoes Ever mighty, ever cheerful, a spirit never to be crushed Even the mighty men will one day fall but the might itself will never fade In stories told, in pictures drawn our hymn goes ever on [Ref] Though one day we'll face Tuoni's rapids Dead Land's black streams Our hymn still proudly echoes Generations change, sharpest blades come eventually blunt But in the midst of battle these songs are ever sung [Ref]

[Music and Lyrics by NRQ] Follow me into the water Across the river Follow me to my death Into a new world Cold dark and misty Adobe of the dead In the world of Nifelheim The House of Hel Guarded by Garm, the House of Hel Gjoll the Impassable encircles the realm Helheim, world of the dead where no life dwells Once you have entered you'll never leave Follow me into the water Across the river Follow me to my death Into a new world Hraesvelg the corpse eater Watches over the realm In the form of an eagle He makes the winds blow Guarded by Garm, the House of Hel Gjoll the Impassable encircles the realm Helheim, world of the dead where no life dwells Once you have entered you'll never leave

[Music by NRQ / Lyrics by NRQ and Wircki] Once on my wintry journeys Resting in the gloomy light Of thousand stars in sight My sword by my side and my hood pulled warmly over me I filled my lungs With chill scent of the night And closed my eeyes for a good night's sleep, I closed my eyes I saw two ravens circle in the sky Soaring high, within the treetops they flied, One came down to me and croaked in a weird language that strangely made perfect sense to me "If it's knowledge you seek, please do follow me, I will lead you to a man, the greatest man of all" [Ref.] I cleansed my soul in the thousand lakes, Bathed my heart in the streams of knowledge, I cleansed my soul in the thousand lakes, Bathed my heart in the streams of knowledge I followed the ravens across the woods Until we came to a place near mountains root, There was an cavern carved in stone, Carved in Stone An old man stood there alone One eyed he was, cloaked in hood Softly he spoke, invited me into his hut He showed me things I couldn't believe He showed me places I didn't know existed, He teached me wisdom far beyond my imagination [Ref] Be hailed ye God of gods Be hailed ye all wise O' Odin all knowing Be hailed, ye hailed be

[Music and Lyrics by NRQ] Night arrives again in the northern woods Cloaking all light under its dim hood All is silent except for the winds mellow croon Echoing in the midwinter night And when shadeof the swan reflects from ice You will know that someone has died And when the wind blows from the north You can hear the souls cry And in the moon's pale light Death took the form of an swan Up from the depths of Tuonela it rose to its wings Age old song of death it sings And when shade of the swan reflects from ice You will know that someone has died And when the wind blows from the north As she silently flies through the nightskies

[Music by Wircki / Lyrics by NRQ] Take the breastplates of your ancestors Pick up the shields and mighty swords Take the powerful helmets and saddle your horses The horn has sounded for the sign of the battle! [Ref.] Onwards to battle they rode Twelve Valiant Men Unsheat your fathers' swords Warriors from the north Through snow and ice they bravely ride With flags raised up high The banner of the ancient pagan empire The sign for their enemies to die! [Ref.] Swords swing, steel sings, no mercy to the enemy! Onwards the enemy marches under the sign of the cross

[Music by NRW & Wircki / Lyrics by Wircki] From Tuonela the worms crawl to earth to gnaw the living To bring forth the death on whose formless shadows I ride From the soil of dreary lake Alue arrive the worms with Manala's fire To burn the living to ashes! [Ref.] And thrice on a summer night Lake Alue foams sky high It's burning ash fills lungs of life It's shores scorch dead black In the shades of this devastation I seek the dying Under fiery skies where only swan who glides is a burning kind Evoke the end, unleash the deviltry It's time for the harvest of mine [Ref.] Hin Onde - Burning the Lake Alue [Ref.]

[Music / Lyrics by NRQ] The ravens have returned To the snowy hills Winter is here again But this time it is forever I hear the winds summon me The winds call my name I hear the winds summon me It's time to meet again The time has arrived At last This is the fimbulwinter See the dark clouds form in the sky The winterstorms arrive Flowers of frost abloom I can hear the icy winds call my name I hear the winds summon me The winds call my name I hear the winds summon me It's time to meet again The time has arrived At last This is the fimbulwinter This is the fimbulwinter!

[Music by NRQ / Lyrics by Wircki] He wanted to prove what fathers had foreseen What had been from the ancient writings Interpret was more than a myth ...More than a myth [x3] Recklessly, filled with enthusiasm He wandered ahead with stories and sages From childhood echoing on his mind Unconciosly guiding him ...Stories guiding him [x3] Eagerly he pursued ahead to make his seek complete To get himself the mightiest weapon of all In the denser firwood Darkness blurring his sight The bolts of Ukko storming up high Horns of Tapio confusing his mind Through sinister landscapes of Pohjola to find A river Tuonela on whose black flood glides a swan ...A sole swan ...A sole swan ...A Soulswan Leading to the dale of the dead.

[Music & Lyrics by Wircki] Came the long winter's cold and told it's tale to me Flew the moonbirds suggesting spells of the gleaming moon Blew the wind with it's mystifying whispers Swaying firs compiling secret words For those with a mind to know Ancient phares within the treetops The language of the ages old Spells never buried, the bard eternal, The spirit of woodland sings it's wisdom, spreads it's magical might And luckless lands of north reveal their secret forth

[Music by NRQ / Lyrics by Wircki] Awakening at dawn, to horns alarming call Ships from the west had been seen heading towards us With the sign of cross they enslave our land In vain they spill blood because blind they are to see We will never be slain Our heritage will always remain Over these hills, along these lakes In the spirit of these woods they'll hear our calls They'll feel it in their hearts as it flows through their veins With northern pride northmen see true from false And false men will not long rule these lands The warrior in us will wake again! We will never be slain Our heritage will always remain Over these hills, along these lakes In the spirit of these woods they'll hear our calls And we ride forth, [x3] Until the last of us will fall! No matter how outnumbered We took our shields, saddled our horses, drew our blades Towards seashore eachone headed Our foes realised we can not be persuaded to their will But neither are we here to die We came for our honour and for our heathen pride After first horse galloped ahead no steps were taken back Berserk we fight And we ride forth, [x3] Until the last of us will fall!

[Music by Wircki / Lyrics by NRQ & Wircki] Glittering mails to warriors high Strongest blades to men of steel Blades upon which we shall rise [Ref.] We're the ones with the paganheart Proud is our spirit, our will is hard We're the ones with the paganheart to conquer back what once was ours Blades which will cut your throats Endowed with unimaginable strength We will reduce you to silence! [Ref.] And so the night became And the battle begun One by one we cut down the enemies We're less in numbers but our will is strong as steel Onwards we march Under the banner of the ancient pagan empire! [Ref.] Glittering mails to warriors high Strongest blades to men of steel Blades which will cut your throats We will reduce you to silence!
