1. Helheim 4 "Harken, all ye loyal subjects of the king. For behold, the pestilence is upon us, And few will elude its deadly embrace. Fear your kin, as well as your family, For lo, even they can carry the black death Into your home." [MUSIC: Hrymr] [LYRICS: Hrymr/S.Røsjø] 2. Yersinia Pestis 1349 Times of decay Pestilence Blood Supreme The years of sickening souls Can you feel the breath upon your neck Hear the cruel voice of the old Revealing the flesh of the dead The evil grin of the plague I remember these times of great sorrow These years of deep pain A land lied in a veil of solitude Faces pale as the moon Stalking the landscape in the shape of an oak Misery loves company One could hear the violin play A single dead tune Marking the age of the dead One nation lost in the claws of an oak So foul that her gaze alone would make one freeze in torment Lying on the deathbed with an empty stare Only preparing for the journey to the other side Nine long nights and days on the path of no return Ttowards the realm they all know and fear: helheim [MUSIC: V'gandr] [LYRICS: V'gandr] 3. Stones To The Burden I lay the final weight to your shoulders I make your life tip over Life is a slow sadistic torment I only increase the speed Am I really that cruel Am I really the reason Just slit your throat Increase the speed Painfully aware of the lot The sinister slumber in me I unveil the darkest of all Into the abyss you fall Pitch the faith To dead silence Turn the key To open the gate Increase the speed I am the mentor of pain I am the caster of stones I've laid the final weight The burden is you All alone: dead [MUSIC: Lindheim] [LYRICS: V'gandr] 4. Sinners Wake Touch the fire and get burned Plead for mercy and never return Stare deep into the darkest abyss Until the abyss stares back at you It is all but irony When they claim sovereignity Stranger ways is hardly found On this poisened earthly ground SINNERS WAKE Save the sorry and fool yourself That is the of the blind Infinite dreams of an infinite realm Where no heathen tread The cross points black The words are silent All is in the end Part of the sinners wake Death is more than death Life is no more than an illusion of this I cannot forsee myself crawling And kiss the cross of self deceit [MUSIC: H'grimnir] [LYRICS: V'gandr] 5. Elde Hvor sterk er den som Livet styrer Den som spinner sin Egen skjebne Hvor svak er den som for Livet taper den som taper for livets vrede Hvem er han Som selv bestemmer Hvilke vei han selv skal gå Hvem er han som ikke makter Å jakte selv Enn å bli jaktet Det går en evig strøm Av liv Som styres av vår elde Hvor enn en går og Snur seg om Så er hun blant Oss alle Gi tapt må selv En krigersk gud Når tvekamp Måler krefter For selv den sterke må Gi tapt for Alderdommen; elde [MUSIC: V'gandr] [LYRICS: V'gandr] 6. Warlot Born in fire and ice Pure of heart, mind and soul I crush the walls of ignorance Never to betray my heritage You can kill my body But my ravishing moral I'll keep for myself WARLOT I seek none but my own bliss Grasped through the paragons I choose Self-righteousness one can say But in the end you have to choose your own way None stand before me None can mock my ways I quench my thirst through my own artistry Memories - Fields of gold Life - Shades of grey Walls- Built to punish Pride - Never imprisoned All is all - In the middle earth That is where - I've laid my peace [MUSIC: V'gandr] [LYRICS: V'gandr] 7. Den Glemte Lov Den stoltes tale Smykket i jern hugget Dypt i sinnet Bygget på en eldgammel Lære om hedningemakt Og eder Borgen slo sprekker dengang Et fremmed Hogg dogmer Sverd kan tvinge en Mann til kne Men den høyes lov Forble Vasket vekk med Tidevannet lenket til en Forgangen tidd Med kniven på strupen Stod loven Fortsatt ved Vi er de første Blant de siste Som slår gnister I et gammelt bål Sønner av en eldet arv Bryter lenkene til den Glemte lov [MUSIC: H'grimnir] [LYRICS: V'gandr] 8. God Of Slander I am the god of slander The one that leads you astray I am born among the highest gods But I never forsee myself By their side I take the forms of many A beast my words for the hypocrisy I am the reason of betrayal I alure the purest to fall These are not deeds of evil But ways to own amusement I am the god of slander Mockery is my state of being I give birth to the beasts Who dwell in their chains God of slander I choose myself above all Even though pain is my fortune The poison that hits my body Won't make me change my ways In the end of day I'll lead my children by fire and ice The world falls apart chaos among the gods Death to us all [MUSIC: Thorbjørn] [LYRICS: V'gandr] 9. Iron Icon 9 The symbol of sovereighnity Everlasting malice Taste our supremacy Feel the final front Brand this mark Remember its power Once seduced there's no escape The olden Law has taken new forms It's the icon of everything The symbol of pagan unity None can change our view Withdrawn from the common ways The beast of a new age Crushing everything in their way Branded by the icon The nine stages that makes us whole Spew out your hate Mock thy new enemy Rise up from your comfort and lust for something more Who dares wins I way And so it shall be done Harvest their withering words And throw it back ten times folded [MUSIC: V'gandr] [LYRICS: V'gandr] 10. Hjelmstorm Alle frender byr deg velkommen Ta imot mjød hos æser på vollen Våre våpen skal vi selv verge Voktes skal hjelm og brynje vel For kampen står hardt Blant ubundne menn Skjold og harde skaller splittes Farger skjoldborger blanke I hærmenns blod Eden sitter dypere enn banesår Odins hugfulle tale rår Fiender dør, frender dør, men Akk og vel vi skal seire likevel Splintret sverd og skarret skjold På vollen i en hjelmstorm Ubundet imot all verden vil ulven Fenris fare før igjen vi Samles på vollem For så mange for til hedenske møtte Trelldom og tvang [MUSIC: Thorbjørn] [LYRICS: V'gandr] Lyrics in plain text format
