Free Will Sacrifice See them gathered on the plains now See an army strong and vast As long as one of us remains here None of them will ever pass Here they come so raise the shields high Like wolves they show their teeth None of us will ever yield now To the scavengers beneath We're outnumbered ten to one here Still, I love the odds We will sacrifice them one by one Send them off to the gods Soon we will be gone A free will sacrifice As free men we are born And free we shall die Here they come ten thousand strong Charging up the hill This day will be both hard and long They move in for the kill Hold the line don't let it break Use your sword and spear A glory death, for all awaits All who knows no fear Hordes of men they hit the shields Like waves they break away We face our woven destiny And we don't fear the grave Soon we will be gone A free will sacrifice As free men we are born And free we shall die 3.

Where Is Your God? The enemy has come for you Hear the pounding thunder hooves There's no time to run or hide Draw the weapon from your side When they ride out From morning mist With sharp blades in mighty fists One hundred warriors on horse An awesome brutal force You feel weak and scared Fear has gripped your heart You will soon be over run You will soon be torn apart Now, where is your god? Does he hear your prayers? Does he even care for you? His silence speaks loud and clean Raid is done! See the country burn All are gone! Only misery remains Raid is done! The warriors return All are gone! All that's left is pain The Vikings strike So fast and hard Those who run won't make it far And those who chose to stand and fight They have made the choice to die The weapons tear through flesh and bone Dying men that scream and moan With severed limbs To the hall of death The battlefield is full of death Feel the stench of rotting flesh When the entire country burns As the warriors return And they came out From morning mist With sharp blades in mighty fists They leave this land All burned and scorn Those alive will mourn Now, where is your god? Does he hear your prayers? Does he even care for you? His silence speaks loud and clean Raid is done! See the country burn All are gone! Only misery remains Raid is done! The warriors return All are gone! All that's left is pain Raid is done See the country burn, Only misery remains All are gone Warriors return, All that's left is pain Where's your god? Does he hear your prayers? Does he even care? Where's your god? Does he hear your prayers? A silence loud and clear! 5. Varyags Of Miklagaard Miklagaard has been our home For twenty years or more We've lent our axes, spears and swords In service of the emperor We are loyal warriors That's the oath we gave To protect the emperor Even to a violent grave Our loyalty was always firm We kept our given word On these southern battlefields Our northern war cries roared Battles have been fought Many gave their lives But all who died by axe and sword Were called to hall up high Our time here Is now at end Can't help but reminisce A cold spring day So long ago When we set out to sea We! Set out from Svitjod's Shores! With dreams of fame and Gold! And! The work of weaving Norn's! Was for us unknown We were loyal warriors That's the oath we gave To protect the emperor Even to the grave It's time to take farewell We have been resolved From the sacred oath we gave It's time to go back home Out time here Is now at end Our memories will stay Of Miklagaard Our southern home Until the end of days We! Set out for Svitjod's Shores! With honor and Rewards! We return back Home! We return back Home! With honor and Rewards! We return back Home! 6. Tattered Banners And Bloody Flags There comes Lopt, the treacherous Lusting for revenge He leads the legions of the dead Towards the Aesir's realm They march in full battle dress With faces grim and pale Tattered banners and bloody flags Rusty spears and blades Cries ring out, loud and harsh From cracked and broken horns Long forgotten battle cries In strange and foreign tongues Spear and sword clash rhythmically Against the broken shields they beat They bring their hate and anarchy Onto Vigrid's battlefield There comes Lopt, the treacherous He stands against the gods His army grim and ravenous Lusting for their blood Nowhere is longer safe The earth moves under our feet The great world tree Yggorasil Trembles to its roots Sons of muspel gird the field Behind them Midgaard burns Hrym's horde march from Nifelheim And the Fenris wolf returns Heimdal grips the Giallarhorn He sounds that dreaded note Oden rides to quest the Norns But their web is torn The Aesir rides out to war With armor shining bright Followed by the Einherjer See valkyries ride Nowhere is longer safe The earth moves under our feet The great world tree Yggorasil Trembles to its roots Sons of muspel gird the field Behind them Midgaard burns Hrym's horde march from Nifelheim And the Fenris wolf returns 7. No Fear For The Setting Sun I'm out of breath And all my muscles ache It feels like spikes With every step I take My heart beats It's about to burst This day my luck Turned to the worse There's nowhere to run Darkness is closing in I don't fear the setting sun Or the twilight that it brings Dark clouds fill the sky My fate is close at hand Today is the day that I die Today I make my final stand I fought so hard For taste of victory The war is lost But I refuse to kneel I can't go back now There is no retreat I will fight hard for All that I believe I'm out of breath And all my muscles ache It feels like spikes With every step I take I can't go back now There is no retreat I will fight 'til death I make my final charge I, make my final charge I; have no fear in heart I will no longer run I, do not fear the dark There's nowhere to run Darkness is closing in I don't fear the setting sun Or the twilight that it brings Dark clouds fill the sky My fate is close at hand Today is the day that I die Today I make my final stand 8. The Hero The blade I swing Is black as night Black as my soulless heart It bears the burden Of many lives But I don't feel remorse I lent my sword To anyone Willing to pay the price No regrets for What I've done A mercenary's life But there i was On battleground Until I felt the jaws of death Cut into my flesh Defending old and weak But I did not retreat Now, here I lie In my own blood And strangers cry for me I'm prepared to meet the gods I wish they'd let me be I don't deserve Their sympathy I know who I am My soul is death and misery I am an evil man I rest in my blood Soon I will face the gods Strangers cry for me I wish they'd let me be Show no sympathy Shed no tears for me I know who I am I am an evil man I know who I am I am an evil man 9. Live For The Kill [featuring Apocalyptica] The pack of wolves Are closing in Now, hear the howling beasts They move fast Through winter woods And soon it's time to feast A vicious hunt On through the night The prey is short of breath They feel the sting Of burning eyes That's fixed upon their necks A predator's heart Knows no remorse It lives for the hunt A predator's heart Knows no remorse It lives for the hunt A natural force They show their sharp And grinning teeth As howls are getting higher Sending chills Down fleeing spines Their blood runs hot as fire The vicious chase Is soon at end They're hunted until death They feel the pain Of sharpening steel That's cutting through their flesh Fearless warriors Feed the wolves Now hear the howling beasts They move fast Through winter woods See the grey-backs feast A natural force It knows no remorse And lives for the kill 10. Embrace Of The Endless Ocean I stroke the blade with my hand the sharp edge cuts the skin blood drips to the rain wet sand my journey can begin Once a slave but now I'm free my honor is restored once again I'll ride the seas free at last from whip and oar I slide the sword into the sheath the ocean god is hailed and as we push out to the sea we raise the red striped sails I've missed the breeze of my home shores the frozen lakes and winter snow but now my dreams start to unfold father, I'm coming home The storm came down without remorse and water crashed the rails the ship was thrown back and forth as strong winds ripped the sails The icy waves embrace my skin I am going numb The endless ocean swallows me This will be my cold wet tomb Won't feel the breeze of my home shore nor see the lakes or winter snow my hopeful dreams lie ripped and torn father, I die alone Lyrics in plain text format |
