Wotan's Return

Mother winter leaves our land And opens wide the seas The lukewarm breeze doth beckon me As it whispers through the trees It says: Set your sails And let me take your ship to foreign shores Take farewell of those near you And your land of the North! The wild cold deep black ocean's waves Invites my hungry heart Cry not my love I'll return Only death can keep us apart Odin in the sky up high Let the Ravens of yours fly To guide us on our sail to foreign shores Let your Ravens fly The wind blows through my hair And fills our sails with hope and pride Caress these lines of Oak, wind Do not throw us all aside The wild cold deep black ocean's waves As wide as sky above Carry us, oh, Gods of sea Don't take us down below Now approach the shore at dawn All is still the light of daybreak is yet to be born Clad in morning dew asleep The city's walls rise before us men from the seas Carrying cold steel at our sides No time to lose at sunbirth we attack the city by surprise Down the coastlines with the wind we reign Men of the North we leave the shores in flames Shores in Flames Shores in Flames Shores in Flames Shores in Flames Fire! Thor of thunder way up high Swing your Hammer that cracks the sky Send the wind to fill our sails and take us home Guide your sons, us, home When the wind cries out my name And time has come for me to die Then wrap me in my cape And lay my sword down at my side Then place me on a ship of Oak And let it drift with tide Let the flames purify my soul On its way to hall up high Up high Up high Up high Up high

The storm becomes stronger Clouds darken the sun We hail a new era As Wotan returns A lightning from the sky Crushes down the earth A thunderbolt of his arrival A sign of rebirth The raven sings songs To celebrate his return On the peaks of mountains The fires burn Hearts will awake The seasons will turn Life dwells again As Wotan returns [repeat] The wolves howl to praise As he appears in the mist Light defeats the darkness Life will resist Hearts are beating faster Gungnir is thrown And the false gods die Upon their golden thrones Their towers are falling Midgard will be free A new sun will arise From the blood of victory Hearts will awake The seasons will turn Life dwells again As Wotan returns [repeat]

The full moon shine guides our lonely path Through landscapes of ice & death Where the fallen are covered by snow & frost In solitude they took their last breath Endless seems that final march The stars sparkle from far away All light is gone, all hope is lost ... The northern wind is becoming stronger Like a hand is grasping for life Tired and weak through deepest snow But unconquered the will to survive No life dwells here; we carry on The horizon so dark; the march so long Through that desert of winter so cold Through that valley of sorrow so old We keep the secret of a kind yet gone We keep the memory to the children of the sun The ancient cradle is calling & we return Following the path into the north As our homes are destroyed; in the fog we'll hide Our solar cross is shining so bright Guiding our path through that endless night Until we will see the hyperborean light

The days of joy - are so far away Just sit and rust - in the age of gray All so meaningless - all without sure Just forget & forget & the leaves just dance By the smile of the wind - the circle around Ending moment in time - they cover the ground And all the hope is gone - it won't appear again The gods hide their faces - from declining men Nothing to believe in - nothing to expect The sun cries blood & Balder is dead Midgard starts to freeze The heart of the worlds seems to die And the tears that are falling Just touching the sky A grey day in time The loss of all might But there's still life That's burning inside Like the autumn leaves that fall Life just fades away To feed a new age That also dies one day

There is a voice deep inside us Speaking through the flow of blood Speaking of heritage & loyalty The voice of our gods Through the centuries of echoes Since the beginning of time The tribe of Jarl, of Heimdals sons The dawn of our kind A chain of blood that can't be broken A golden bond to the ancestors and Odin To those before me I'll stay loyal I'll stay true...Asatru The spirit of our ancestors Once forged between fire & ice Out of the blood sea arising Blessed by the gods with life A chain of blood that can't be broken A golden bond to the ancestors and Odin To those before me I'll stay loyal I'll stay true...Asatru

God of Heaven, Hear my cries of anguish I'm in pain I've suffered a thousand deaths but I live on in vain Death would greet with eternal sleep My soul would come to peace My life had ceased The time was comed Can no-one hear my pleas Lowered down in the moisty ground Into the dark and cold My heart's beat the only sound Pain tears my limbs and soul I scream for mercy Hear my cries Oh, Lord don't abandon me I'm so tired Grant me the eternal sleep I tear at the lid I'm suffering In a cold and nameless grave If Hell is what awaits me I feel no fright
