Flames of power burn in my eyes Pagan fires inflame my valiant soul Fever of conquest will guide my blade For destruction in a blast of fury Deep in my heart pounds the will for victory Under black skies, in fields of blood Reign the fires of revenge and rage Anger is my bride in this warfare No prisoners but a smell of dying Deep in my heart pounds the will for victory Wrecking, raging fights Slaying and raping in rapture Power striking down in a thrashing might Flames of power burn in my eyes Pagan fires inflame my valiant soul Fever of conquest will guide my blade For destruction in a blast of fury Deep in my heart pounds the will for victory And in battle, son of fire shall prevail

They are coming with the grey fog When darkness falls all over the land They are appearing from nowhere When night shadows begin to spread out Crossing the gates of this dark place Hearing their chants in the winter wind Freezing calls deep into your heart From this land there will be no escape No longer man but animal You feel your nature is transforming As you enter a mysterious world And slowly your heart is emptying You are welcome in the court of the king For as a raven you walk Corvids fly all around in a turmoil And you are part of the horde You swear allegiance to a strange crow Protect and serve him you must An undefined and weird body with giant wings The ravenlord You dark guardian of my dismal realm Your black mates you can trust From human beings you have to keep it clean No one must harm our den Take their souls and bring them to me They are a so vile folk And I will send them where they deserve to be In nothingness One day we will expand our realm Beyond the frontiers of these woods Conquering the world is not a dream And we will prevail for good

As a leaf carried by the winds, in cold autumn dusk As the oak broken by fury of the storm My roots will remain on these lands, where I was born And in death, these leaves will cover my grave As a path blinding my sight of azure and snow As a light guiding my way towards the stars Stand on the shores in the heat of flames To honour your brave and his memory Swear to this man to cherish his land and his legacy Sworn to the elders As the breeze blowing my soul in icy kingdoms As a crow diving into the underworld Stand on the shores in the heat of flames To honour your brave and his memory Swear to this man to cherish his land and his legacy Sworn to the elders Sword on side, shield on chest, my soul will drift away Above the frozen lake Choirs resound from the shores, blessing my departure Towards infinite pits My body burns in fires, released in heathen rites Onwards to the nine worlds in the glare of the pyre Raise your spears to the sky in an iron arch Honour your ancestors Bards sing my glory in funeral chants Forefather of the tribe My body burns in fires, released in heathen rites Onwards to the nine worlds in the glare of the pyre Into these lands of sorrow where the claws of time freeze my soul Gathered with ancients the spirit of our clan is to be preserved I feel eternity creeping into my whole being disembodied The fear of the unknown as I vanish into the fog Blessed be the memory of those who were the fathers of our culture These glorious ancestors will guide our march to celestial realms Into these lands of sorrow where the claws of time freeze my soul Despite the solitude and cold I feel the ardour of my sons For my blood and memory in their veins will forever flow And when the time will come for them I will be there to wait them all

Through the frozen and misty woods In this dark place where I was born From eternal majestic forests Upon the throne of our realm Through the summits of our mountains And the expanses of our plains From the icy peaks of our crests Upon the throne of our kingdom By the splendour of North my brave soul is spellbound Beyond the tops of the snow covered mountains are stars twinkling bright As burning suns in the night they stare at the darkened earth And for thousand years, nature prevailed in serenity, frost and storms For the purest quintessence of heathen spirit dwells in these lands Chanting these words to the glory of our world To make one with the Earth until the end of times

Dawn, the sun will rise in silence Pouring down its blazing light on the shades of the world Now that I've walked in the cold through the misty forests Frostbitten in my heart and my soul Now that I've followed the wings of the Ravenlord all night long Now that I've climbed to the highest mountains At the gates of the passage leading to the clouds I have arrived to the top of the world to be enraptured by the dawn The frozen moors slumber in obscurity, awaiting the morning sun Daylight in nordic and azure infinity, thou rise Now that I've walked in the cold through the misty forests Frostbitten in my heart and my soul Now that I've followed the wings of the Ravenlord all night long Now that I've climbed to the highest mountains At the gates of the passage leading to the clouds I have arrived to the top of the world to be enraptured by the dawn The nordic dawn shines through the dormant woods As the mist disappears Daylight in nature and peaceful infinity, thou rise Swamps are bathed in nordic rays The dream of one brave man was to embrace this precious dawn, O'Mine

The age of ice falls upon the land Icewinds unleashed whip forests in turmoil Frost, as the skies suddenly turn to grey Freezing climate prevails Breath of power breaks in the plains Rage and chaos over mountains The age of shadows spreads over the land Icewinds unleashed beat landscapes in the night Frost, as the skies suddenly turn to black Freezing darkness prevails Breath of power breaks in the plains Rage and chaos over mountains

When the shades of death glide over your hearts And when believes become a force You swear allegiance to idols I am the godless, forsaken child from grace Blinded by your cults and lost in your rites You sink in a shadowed age You are fools, perverted by your fears Following the will of gods, you creep in lies and ignorance When the gleam of dawn appears to my sight And when landscapes invade my heart I swear allegiance to nature I am the godless, the son of Mother Earth Banished from our lands, rejected by clans Betrayed by my will of truth I am the wise, disciple of knowledge Wandering from plains to crests to learn the mysteries of our world Sadness, lonesome, creeping as forlorn exile Persecuted, martyr, I have to hide In cold shades of my own terror Dying in this rising solitude Darkness is grabbing my soul Crying in the lack of understanding Madness! Through these grim shadows, my soul revealed itself In a world of faith, hatred will prevail Through these grim shadows my soul has drown in pain In the court of gods I will die in silence
