Set forth to glorious warfare As hands of mighty gods But some of those among us seem at odds They've heard that we're outnumbered We face a mighty force I speed to reassure them we are Norse March on As one And never fear your death Great halls Await Fight to your dying breath Fire your arrows Blacken the sun You cannot defeat us We've already won Fire your arrows Blacken the sun Our glory eternal Great deeds we have done Their numbers count for nothing They'll never break our line They won't wage war up close They have no spine They fear our swords and axes They dare not charge our ranks Under the gods protection We give thanks March on As one And never fear your death Great halls Await Fight to your dying breath Fire your arrows Blacken the sun You cannot defeat us We've already won Fire your arrows Blacken the sun Our glory eternal Great deeds we have done Hear our cry We shall never die To Valhalla With valkyries, we shall fly The hail of arrows ceases Our battle charge begins The wont survive the slaughter We shall win March on As one And never fear your death Great halls Await Fight to your dying breath Fire your arrows Blacken the sun You cannot defeat us We've already won Fire your arrows Blacken the sun Our glory eternal Great deeds we have done

Hel's Gate 05:59
lyrics
buy track
This story tells of a man without honour He had no reverence for gods on high At the end of his life death came to greet him Across the rainbow bridge he would not fly Down and north he journeyed forth, the way was cold and dark Down the trunk of Yggdrasil, his spirit would embark Past a mighty river made of sharp and clanging steel Before his eyes his final resting place would be revealed Hel's gate stood huge before him It loomed, an evil sight Soon he'd be trapped behind it Right there, he shook with fright A crack then opened That split the stone The cold of Helheim Was now his home His feet were as iron, he dared not enter The cold had consumed him, right to his bones The saw them, more spirits, they did surround him They urged him, step forward into their fold Quivering he took a step into the great beyond His life then flashed before his eyes, he saw those he had wronged He'd broken oaths to lord and land, he feared not Odin's wrath The end result had been his journey on damnation's path He stepped across the threshold Hel's gate now lay behind Ahead stood his new ruler With fury in her eyes She passed her judgement He stood there stunned He would be cast deep Into Náströnd He found himself dragged to the shore of corpses Níðhöggr forever would eat his flesh Lay in those frigid wastes, he reminisces And regrets when he broke his promises Níðhöggr descends upon his prone form in the dark As fearsome eyes flash in the night, the teeth have found their mark The agony explodes inside his head, behind his eyes He'll spend eternity forever haunted by his cries Náströnd was punishment for His life of selfish acts Níðhöggr bites down harder He feels his lungs collapse He just exists now To feed the beast The vengeful serpent Forever feasts

Lying alone My skin as cold as stone The end of this battle My life's last milestone Soon I'll be dead This frozen world I'll shed Take me to Valhalla Such glory ahead This is my journey to Valhalla With valkyries I shall fly I'll hunt forever with my forefathers In Odin's hall we'll never die I have arrived I'm once again alive In the golden hall of Odin The most glorious sacrifice Brothers and friends Together once again We'll feast and remember Our lives 'til the end I live in glory in Valhalla With valkyries I did fly I'll hunt forever with my forefathers In Odin's hall we'll never die Journey to Valhalla Forever in Valhalla I live in glory in Valhalla With valkyries I did fly I'll hunt forever with my forefathers In Odin's hall we'll never die

Chains 04:59
lyrics

Our race was born for warfare We raid in far-off foreign lands To bring their riches home within our hands We have no fear of dying Our lives will end in fire and blood We'll live and die as Odin says we should Allfather accept us into your golden hall We'll die in your honour Our names will never fall Death is a better way than living as a slave No viking should ever stay in chains We refuse to live in chains It would be as Hel For there's no glory in a cage A prison or a cell Death and glory Not a cage Fight for honour Never chains We've never fought a battle Against a truly mighty foe We've spread this fear of war since long ago But if we fought an army We thought that we could not defeat Our noble sacrifice would be so sweet Allfather accept us into your golden hall We'll die in your honour Our names will never fall Death is a better way than living as a slave No viking should ever stay in chains We refuse to live in chains It would be as Hel For there's no glory in a cage A prison or a cell And we could not secure our place In Odin's golden hall We must stare death in the face In battle we will fall

Now glory awaits In the final war We have been chose to fight forever more We fight for honour And our chosen gods It is the time to spill blood, Ragnarok Hold the shield wall high It's the bastard's time to die I will be blood drunk by the end As I stand before the sea of the dead By my axe I'll end the lives of jötnar scum We will attack And kill them all, they shall not run By my axe The battle shall be surely won Gore-crows shall blot out the sun Death, it strikes through me I hack my way through flesh And take in the sounds of dying breaths I show no mercy I send them to the grave My blood runs hotter with those I've slain Hold the shield wall high It's the bastard's time to die I will be blood drunk by the end As I stand before the sea of the dead By my axe I'll end the lives of jötnar scum We will attack And kill them all, they shall not run By my axe The battle shall be surely won Gore-crows shall blot out the sun By my axe I'll end the lives of jötnar scum We will attack And kill them all, they shall not run By my axe The battle shall be surely won Gore-crows shall blot out the sun

Winter's Bite 06:03
lyrics

You've always felt safe in the woods of your homeland Even in the depths of the night But you will soon feel the cold's frigid grip As we Norsemen come and bring winter's bite Cold enters your bones You run but have no way to turn You'll feel the sting of a knife at your throat The iron so cold it almost burns Winter's bite Comes in the night Feel the cold Death's stranglehold Your forests provide no protection against us We move as ghosts in the dark We'll burn down your homes and fill all your graves With our fire and steel we will make our mark Cold enters your bones My sword has a bite you should fear You have no hope of a life after death Your final fate is oh so clear Winter's bite Comes in the night Feel the cold Death's stranglehold Cold entered your bones And froze all your blood from within You can't resist our strength and resolve You could not fight, we'd always win Winter's bite Comes in the night Feel the cold Death's stranglehold
