Thousand Swords
1995
Blood of Christians on my Sword
===============================
The frost tries to reach us
With its cruel cold hands
The cold witheness hurts our eyes
And we still march with wind in the face
We follow the trace of blood in the snow
Yesterday we burnt two villages
We killed women and children
Heads out of the bodies of priests
We impaled on our wooden socle...
The blood of hideous monk
Is still getting blacker on my axe
Their temple burnt
And we fed a fire with their corpses
My brothers are marching silently
The great frost turns the hearts into ice
The warm blood will bring the life back
To their bodies...
Another christian village is near...
Those who escaped, showed us the way...
On the blood from their wounds...
We must deal them a deathblow
Before wolves get them...
On the horizon behind us
The black smoke appears on the sky
On the hills full of trees
Wolves observe us
They'll leave the hills and follow us
As soon as the day is over...
Thousand Swords
===============
We attacked with thousand swords
Our banners were streaming under clouds
At the gates of christian capitol
The wide river of blood was flowing
We attacked with hate in our eyes
Their request for mercy was nothing for us
They had no respect for our ancestors
Today is not a day for mercy...
We attacked and golden palaces collapsed
Christ's elected ones' paradise was burning
Their golden bells were tolling the last hour
The last hour of christian rulers in pagan Europe
We are just blessed soldiers
From the depths of unbaptized forests
Barbarians in the wolfish skins
ANd we had pleasure to burn the Vatican!
Gods returned and now they are with us
Spirit of war possessed our souls
Our swords want to fight with our moves
It's a great feeling to spill the blood in the basilica
Herds of ravens fly between the clouds
They'll come to the Earth, when we go away
They'll eat the food we prepared
They'll drink blood we have spilled
Epilogue : The vengeance will be cruel
Blessed by gods and spirits
In self defense of fatherland
Vengeance done by our hands
Bringing cruel death for enemies...
The Dark Battlefield
====================
Raptured with murder
Thirsting for the blood
I walk between the corpses of my enemies
My shield beats back the strikes
My sword crushes the heads
Blood covers my face
My scream reaches for the hills
In the fog of dust and smoke
Enemy strewed us with arrows
Few brave warriors died
The axes were shining horrible
Crossing with the swords
The warriors without shields
Had to die hopelessly
The dying men were screaming around
Trampled by the fighting hordes
It was enough for me
I was losing my mind
But I still was killing...
The night came soon...
I heard a horrifying sound of horns
Our horseman ship will attack fast
We must leave the battlefield fast...
Heil moor asferoon...
In the name of moon
Under the heavy hooves
Those who were too
Strong for us will die...
To die in Fight
===============
Cruel coldness turns my heart into ice
Heavy snow clouds
Covered the nightly sky
Snow is falling, wind is blowing
ANd it's cold
Blood in my veins got stopped
Wounded I await my last hour
When the snow covers my body
When the icy ship takes me
To the lands of my gods
A dream makes union with reality
Cold snow hurts my eyes
The forest is far from here
And my horse is dead
I lost my last battle
Victory was so near...
In the snown bed
I found my peace
Now I'm waiting for drakkar
Gods promised me
It will come soon...
