Hammerfeste
1. Intro
[Instrumental]
2. Hammerfeste
[Music: Thorsten & Frost / Lyrics: Frost]
Far far away in the distant North
Awfully it rises wrapped in fog
Between both divine lands
They fight up to the blood
To protect their home
To once go to the holy land
[Chorus:]
Hammerfeste - far far away
Hammerfeste - rules in lonely majesty
Hammerfeste - the enemies run away
Hammerfeste - it's their destiny
The fear is not the fate we'll seek
Our destiny will build upon
The mighty Hammer above us
If we fall we'll rise again
We raise our fists into the frosty air
Out of our inside rises cold air
And wraps us in uncanny fog
[Chorus]
3. Pagan Knights
[Music: Jan & Thorsten / Lyrics: Frost]
Listen to my sword I hold high
Praying to my gods
Listen to the words of our gods
And fighting for them
The pagan knights will fight
Fight for freedom
Without any fear we march into the battle
Blood will cover the path, the path to freedom
With proudly raised heads and crossed swords
We are ready to fight and to die
We protect our country and our faith
The faith in the old gods
The pagan knights will fight
Fight for freedom
With proudly raised heads and crossed swords
We are ready to fight and to die
We are Odins warriors, prepare to die for him
With proudly raised heads and crossed swords
The one eyed old man is our king
The king of wisdom and freedom
If you're invited to his great halls
You are free, you're always free
[Chorus]
4. In Battle
[Music: Jan & Thorsten / Lyrics: Frost]
As I gaze into the sky
I can see the ravens fly
And as I hear the northern call
In battle is where I will fall
When axes clash and blood is shed
My path is paved by the dead
In battle I will reign supreme
On victory I am so keen
As I gaze into the sky
I can see the ravens fly
And as I hear the northern call
In battle is where I will fall
In battle we will stand or fall
Waiting for the northern call
To Asgard we're gonna fly
Ravenlike we'll soar to the sky
[Chorus]
In battle [3x]
I will reign supreme
In battle [2x]
We will stand or fall
In Battle
[Chorus]
In battle we will stand or fall
Waiting for the northern call
To Asgard we're gonna fly
Ravenlike we'll soar to the sky
5. Death In Disguise
[Music: Jan & Thorsten / Lyrics: Frost]
The battle is won
Smoke-clouds are gone
The defeated surrendered
And begged us to come
Then they took us
To meet with their king
"Let us fight together"
His majesty said
He promised us gold
He promised us land
But we all knew
This meant death at the end
Knowing our enemy
And his awful sins
We made them believe
We didn't see the trap
As we lay down
We pull our swords
To slay the horde
And prevail once again
[Chorus]
With traitors we dine
They poisoned our wine
With innocent eyes
They served death in disguise
6. Triumph
[Music: Jan & Thorsten / Lyrics: Frost]
Black was the night
Dark stars were burning
Through the veils of mist
So dim and pale.
The track it passed
The realm of ghosts
When a bloody path
Wound its way down
And angry gods
Sent me to life
The gate is closed
In front of you
On the savage horse
Full of despair
You will be chased
Through dreary life
No delight
Dares to follow you
And angry gods
Sent me to life
Torture, pain
And suffering
Triumph - kein Glück geschenkt
Triumph - kein Weg zu weit
Triumph - keinen Tag verschenkt
Triumph - zum Kampfe bereit.
As you sink back
Into everlasting night
See desolation
Aiming at you
You only feel
Your life is pain
And you face
The countenance of death
[Chorus]
7. Hellea
[Music: Thorsten & Frost / Lyrics: Frost]
Your sanctimony sickens me
You lie to our faces and still think we believe
As the hammer destroys the cross
The fish falls prey to the raven
Arid is being torn apart
Our strength will be your downfall
Our swords will shatter your
Your faith has failed
We'll stay true to our gods
The way we head is against the stream
Of the weak minded sheep
Slaughter the lamb of your god
Grab your swords and take your shields
We will prevail - we will bestride
Now our time has come to fight
In armour we ride - side by side
Together we stand united as one
In Wotan we trust - he is our guide
We turn this place into hell
Shout out with us "Hellea"
Birds and beasts of prey
Versus herds of sheep
In the sign of the wolf and raven
We'll stay true to our gods
Birds and beasts of prey
Versus herds of sheep
In the sign of the wolf and raven
We'll stay true to our gods
8. Lead My Ship
[Music: Thorsten & Frost / Lyrics: Frost]
Onward! Warriors! Ride those waves
For honour gold and property
I won't rest with my wife
Because battle is in my blood
Winter storms roar, masts burst
We laugh in the face of the storm
To die in battle - the highest honour on earth
Lead my ship
Lead my ship
Odin, lead my ship to the kingdom of Asgard
See wild valkyres riding
Odin, father lead me to the everlasting kingdom
I shed my blood in battle
Just like our forefathers
Raging giants, burning belief
The axes ooze with anger
The faithful Viking belief
The warrior's most precious resource
Defying the wild thunderstorms
Thor's hammer lights the sky
The ravens whisper our victory
In the ears of the godly world
[Chorus]
Winter storms roar, masts burst
We laugh in the face of the storm
To die in battle - the highest honour on earth
[Chorus]
9. Kaperfahrt
[Traditional]
Alle, die mit uns auf Kaperfahrt fahren,
müssen Männer mit Bärten sein.
Jan und Hein und Klaas und Pit,
die haben Bärte, die haben Bärte.
Jan und Hein und Klaas und Pit,
die haben Bärte, die fahren mit.
Alle, die Weiber und Honigwein lieben,
müssen Männer mit Bärten sein.
[Chorus]
Alle, die Tod und Teufel nicht fürchten,
müssen Männer mit Bärten sein.
[Chorus]
10. Bless Our Warriors
[Music: Jan / Lyrics: Frost]
Odin. bless our warriors
For they can go to Asgard
You stand beside us
And guide us
Through the night
With your amazing might
With your amazing might
From the mountains
Covered with snow
To the northern see
Bless our warriors
From the lakes
In the east
To the forest in the west
Bless our warriors
Fighting with them
The tears are falling
On the bloody ground
Fighting with my brothers
Together side by side
With your amazing might
With your amazing might
[Chorus]
Odin, protect us in this dark times
Odin, hold your hand above us
[Chorus]
