Black for Death: An Icelandic Odyssey, Part II

Remember me bastard for my years in the ice Do you see me your victim of old I have waited for revenge to turn cold I have explored the world to find the place you hide Rooted out of your rathole this is your last ride Red for Fire + Black for Death The dark horns of vengeance are about to be blown In retribution reborn from the forests unknown I heard the feeble screams of lost pride and dignity After a thousand years comes liberation of destiny Deathlike silence Deathlike silence will rule In the rooms of your cave Euronymous Prince of Death You shall dance on their grave I've rejected the rules of hands and heart I raped and pillaged the darkest art It's toughened hardened a bastard child grown strong May it linger after me as a saga in song Stay written in runes on the black metal sword May it some day save a Viking of my horde Red for Fire + Black for Death Red for fire endure the Iron Law Black for death an outlaw's revenge in the raw

Treacherous queen Who abused my good faith I will take you Where birds have never been A knife in my belt A spear in my hand To my burning eyes Your halls are made of glass Treacherous queen You abused my good faith I will take you Where birds have never been A knife in my belt A spearhead in my heart To my burning eyes Your walls are made of glass The age of the heroes A distant memory The Iron Law rules Iceland Evil kings faithless queens Who hides in the Bay of Smoke Nothing goes unpunished Look where you step You might tread on me Queen in the Bay of Smoke Bring supplies For the worst of your winters I shall wear your pain As a golden crown Whe shall crawl the tunnels In the dark of the Underworld A million midgets are waiting for you Queen in the Bay of Smoke I tasted your beauty You threw me to the dogs I walked as a wolf among the dogs I walked as a god among the slaves Queen in the Bay of Smoke I mørket under jorden ligger dvergenes gruver Den hvite dronning faller i Regins svarte hull Skalden søker en konges skamhevn Dronningen dulgt i småfolkets berg Dvergene stimler om fagermøya sammen Skrekk står å se i Berg-Disas blikk Hva vondt har jeg gjort? Hvor tar du meg hen? Tåresalt drysser på gulvert av gull Her skal du bli svikefulle kvinne Ta skalden til mann og skammen i hug

I am your friend from way down Trapped in a dark forever Silver Dwarf This place is dead Silver Dwarf Night everywhere Chained to the Tree of Death I see no birds no life Silver Dwarf This is my home Only these walls know my face This is the mine where I am stuck Silver Dwarf Bowels of greed Silver Dwarf Once filled with gold Friend from the Land of Light Help me out of darkness Silver Dwarf Horses pull me apart Silver Dwarf Under the earth I wish to be strong But I was born in a mine Silver Dwarf Never allowed to leave Silver Dwarf Cellar of life I will dig my way out of here The Silver Dwarf will see the sun Silver Dwarf A closed infinity Silver Dwarf Nothing to lose I am your friend from way down Spiders eat me Silver Dwarf Sunlight and glory Silver Dwarf I will make my way up there

The black art's dead can't you feel the foul smell Ten years ago THE CORPSES gave us hell Now the scene's changed we're still around The vampires lie six feet deep into the ground We have engineered a MEDIEVAL WAR MACHINE Come with us corpse feel your own medicine Now listen to me to the end of the story We claim what is ours we HUNGER for glory Ja you were right music IS war Now show me the TRUTH that you've fought for It isn't very much if NOTHING AT ALL Toss those remains into the Chieftain's hall Let everybody witness the state of your carcass All of you devils who wanted to mark us Come on brand your iron I BET YOU it is cold Let's see how hard you are growing up and old The winters of Norway have frozen your brains At every living thought you SCREAM in seven pains As Necrophisto I speak the Deity of Hell Spellbound I will have you tremble to the bell Join me in battle fight by my side Together we may run for TRIUMPH AND PRIDE But if you go against me fight like a man Make me die with a SWORD IN MY HAND Give up your life the rags that were you You'll feed the snakes all the time to stay true Thank you for all now give up the crown Our law is here WE RULE YOUR MIND WITH SOUND Join me in battle fight by my side Together we may run for TRIUMPH AND PRIDE But if you go against me fight like a man Make me die with a SWORD IN MY HAND

Allfathers ancestors I think of you in Odin's hall Allfathers ancestors I think of how you crossed the seas Dirty bearded men who slept in the snow Can you feel the beauty of Iceland still? Eagles and icebergs The white nights of the North I will fight for your legend Never forgotten Combat for your honour Protect my kin Allfathers ancestors What you were I want to be What you were look at me Tell me what you see Do you see a son in me Or just another man I am the son of a man Who was the son of a man I will fight for your legend Combat for your honour What you were I want to be Now look at me what do you see Allfathers ancestors I think of you in Odin's hall Allfathers ancestors I think of how you crossed the seas I will fight for your legend Combat for your honour Steel in my hand Hatred in my eyes Don't you touch what is mine Spoil what I hold dear Defile what I love Smear pure with impure Or I shall avenge with sword and axe Till Hel decides who she wants To burn

Loki: "Heile, aser! heile, aasynjur! og alle hog-heilage gudar! utan den eine som innar der sit, Brage, paa benken sin." Bragi: "Av egni mi gjev eg oyk og sverd deg, og ein ring endaa Brage boter: at du ikkje aasom di ovund syner; arge dei ikkje aat deg."

Seven years of pain for one night of joy Loki tricked the lovers with a vicious ploy He spoke to the queen in his softest voice Told her he would give her the following choice Either you were raped by the skald of the king Death upon the man who would do you such a thing! - Or you cheated on your husband, striking him down - Both you and your poet will be sentenced to drown! The queen was all tears, feared for her life, 'Outlaw the skald, surrender him to strife, But save our skin, no one should die for love!' Loki stared at the queen with want in his eyes Thought ' A god born of giants, I lust for the queen! I'll make sure this time there's no poet in between!' Said 'From this day and onwards let Loki be the one, Your god and your beast, your father and your son, Cherish me with kisses and honour me with pleasure, Give in to me, and I'll protect you as my treasure! But if you reveal who I am, or disclose what I have said, Both the skald and you will sink to the abyss of the dead! Garm the Fog of Hel will eat your heart and liver, Even when cold you'll tremble and shiver For the rotten goddess and her hungry beast Unless you join Loki the Trickster's nightly feast'

Loki: "For slike slag du snaur plar vera som øykjer og armringar; av alle æser som inne her er, du er i vig varast og skjerrast for skot." Bragi: "Var eg utanfor Æges-halli so nær deg som no: hovudet ditt eg i handi mi bar; daa læta du fekk for di lygn."

O father of truth and marvellous lies Ignorance the dragon never dies In the Midgard of men they call you sagateller In the Asgard of gods they call you dragonkiller Red words for black thoughts, you cannot be blamed No name is a secret, no secret is unnamed The sagas you tell mankind teach them about fate Songs and legends from times of love and hate When the words of Odin's art resound through the horn Heroes and Giants of the ancient epics are reborn In the Midgard of men they call you sagateller In the Asgard of gods they call you dragonkiller Skald: The eyes of the universe, the witness of time Heart and head tied together in rhytm and rhyme The fury of enemies the madness of the young There is no thing in the world that is not in your song Under the silver of a thousand moons The book of your life was written with runes Would you know the future of your kin How White Christ and Black Death were going to win The Icelanders who hungered the Norwegians who died Before the doors of Hel, they had their strength tried Remember the hardships the toil they through Remember the hardships the battles they lived through Our blood hails the North pagan Vikings stay true Red for Fire + Black for Death Our blood hails the North pagan Vikings stay true The Icelanders who hungered the Norwegians who died Before the doors of Hel, they had their strength tried Remember the hardships the battles they lived through Our blood hails the North pagan Vikings stay true Sagateller Dragonkiller O father of truth and marvellous lies Ignorance the dragon that never dies The Icelanders who hungered the Norwegians who died Before the doors of Hel, they had their strength tried Red for Fire + Black for Death Our blood hails the North pagan Vikings stay true
