One Day

|
200 years of oppression and scorn.
The new pariahs are yet to be born.
It's time to awake, no second to falter.
When the lion resigns, like a lamb to the slaughter.
One day we shall be free.
This is our time.
Raise up your heads, look into the sky.
Uniting our voices for one battle cry.
Tear down the walls from the old kingdom's face
Reconquer the treasures, back to their place.
Hoist up the banners, see the colours shine bright.
The flag of our fathers in blood-red and white.
One day we shall be free.
This is our time.
Raise up your heads, look into the sky.
Uniting our voices for one battle cry.
Let freedom ring from the highest mountains!
Let freedom ring from the depths of our heart!
Let freedom ring from the sword in your hand!
Our time has come again!

Brothers In Blood

This is the time. A head for a dime.
Bring war to the palace and avenge their crimes.
The slaughter of tyrants, the madness of kings.
Shall finally end and it's freedom we'll bring.
Storm across the barricades. Free your anger, feel your hate.
Ignite the fire in your heart. Teir their rotten world apart.
Now that we stand so close to the end:
Show them no mercy, they'll die by your hand.
Arise now, my brothers.
Hear these words we're creating.
A new dawn approaches.
This oath is to last till the end of our time.
Stand with us!
Fight with us!
Die with us!
These are the new days.
Of hope and glory.
We are brothers in blood.
It has been done. It's freedom we've won.
A new day will dawn now the tyrants are gone.
When the fog of war is replaced by the light.
See their heads spiked up gracing the throne of their might.
Arise now, my brothers.
Hear these words we're creating.
A new dawn approaches.
This oath is to last till the end of our time.
Stand with us!
Fight with us!
Die with us!
These are the new days.
Of hope and glory.
We are brothers in blood.
Are you ready now? Feel our force to be unleashed. It's the power preserving your souls forever to last.
Stand with us!
Fight with us!
Die with us!
These are the new days.
Of hope and glory.
We are brothers in blood.

Nebelreiter

Ein Nebelschleier, fahl und grau.
Ein Todeshauch vom Leichenmeer.
Voran der Reiter, hoch zu Ross.
Verwesend, krank und ohne Kopf.
Ein Knabe dort am Wegesrand.
Ein Schlag, er spürt die kalte Hand.
Gebrandmarkt bis zum letzten Tag
Drei an der Zahl bis er erlag.
Der Reiter ohne Kopf hält Wacht
Jede dunkle Nacht
Die Sense ward sein letztes Lied
Nebelreiter
Erwache!
Sieh dich vor auf deinem Weg
Wenn Nebel auf dem Lande liegt
Dein Atem in der Luft gefriert
Der Reiter dich obszön berührt
Am letzten deiner Tage dann
Steht er an deinem Bettenrand
Ein kalter Nebel hüllt dich ein
Du schöne Maid, es ist vorbei
Der Reiter ohne Kopf hält Wacht
Jede dunkle Nacht
Die Sense ward sein letztes Lied

Nachtgiger

Nacht legt sich auf das Frankenland.
Ein Schatten türmt sich auf.
Ungebändigt stürzt er hinab.
Kein Licht gebar sein Leib.
Ein Ungetüm aus alter Zeit ist heut zurückgekehrt.
Ein Atemzug, ein letzter Schrei, dein Leben ist verwehrt.
Oh mein Kindlein gib nur Acht.
Kehr nach Haus zurück.
Hör es ist der Nachtgiger.
Der dich frisst mit Haut und Haar.
Des morgens früh, oh welch ein Schreck
Die Bettlein gähnend leer
Der Mütter Tränen unstillbar
Sahn die Kinder nimmer mehr.
Ein Ungetüm aus alter Zeit ist heut zurückgekehrt.
Ein Atemzug, ein letzter Schrei, dein Leben ist verwehrt.

Enslaved

Your life's in ruins, you're buried alive.
A former path, a dead end drive.
But one man came here to save your soul.
A bringer of light pulls you out of the hole.
Believe the lies told to your face.
Intoxication in a world of fails.
Subjected to someone who never existed.
Enslaved by the hands of man.
Enslaved
A slave of your own fear.
A silent scream ignites my heart.
Cleanse the blood of hollow lies.
There's no way, no path for salvation.
No savior waiting at the end of the road.
Let hypocrisy burn in the fires of hell.
Which is the place, our souls are to dwell.
Enslaved
A slave of your own fear.
A silent scream ignites my heart.
Cleanse the blood of hollow lies.
Rise my brother.
Take hold of my hand.
Hear me calling.
I'm your savior.
Awaken the fire. Awaken the horde.
Time to break the wall of silence.
Raise your voice and spread the word:
Burn the priest, fuck the church.
Awaken the fire. Awaken the horde.
Enslaved
A slave of your own fear.
A silent scream ignites my heart.
Hear my word: Your god is dead.

The Blacksmith

Can you hear the beating noise?
From the house across the yard?
It's the blacksmith's shop where he will execute forgotten crafts.
All alone in his back chamber.
Dust and sweat pearl off his face.
The eyes obssessed with one intention.
The hammer moves at quickened pace.
All hail to the blacksmith as the enemy trembles with fear.
The passion, the glory of stainless steel in our hands This is victory!
Can you see the hammer falling?
Answering the warriors calling.
Light the forge and feel the heat.
His products of essential need.
When the time of war begins.
When the marching army sings.
His sense of life is emphasized.
His work was once more worth the prize.
All hail to the blacksmith as the enemy trembles with fear.
The passion, the glory of stainless steel in our hands This is victory!
We march across the bloody fields.
In search of our foe.
My heart beats ev'ry step I take.
The calm before the storm.
In the midst of battle heat.
Remember what he said.
Your will is crucial to their fall.
Crush their lifes forevermore.
Now it's time for us to fight.
Our power is at rise.
Show no fear of dying.
And trust the steel thats in your hand.
All hail to the blacksmith as the enemy trembles with fear.
The passion, the glory of stainless steel in our hands This is victory!

Des Winters Tod

Es ist soweit, die Zeit ist da.
Die Welt erwacht erneut.
Der Winter zieht sich nun zurück.
Und gibt das Leben frei.
Lange Zeit verbarg ich mich.
Mein Blut ward eiseskalt.
Drum trifft der erste Sonnenstrahl.
Tief in mein Herz hinein.
Die Welt erstrahlt in neuem Glanz.
Die Kälte stirbt im Farbentanz.
Seht was sich darbot: Der Winter ist tot!
Und so zieh ich meine Kreise.
Spende euch mein Licht.
Bringe euch das Leben nah.
Erhell die Finsternis.
Doch jährt sich auch der Winter bald.
Vergesst nur dieses nicht:
Das End' des einen bringt den
Neuanfang des andren mit.
Ein letztes mal.
So soll es geschehn.
Der Himmel blutrot.
Die Wolken verglühn.
Die Sonne versinkt.
Und wird untergehn.
Doch denket daran:
Wir werden uns wiedersehn.

Maelstrom

This is the story of a journey's cruel end.
The tale's been told by restless souls who rot in their descent.
We did not see this twist of fate from mother natures burning hate.
So hear these words and shall be warned: Your rotten souls will not be mourned.
Fire from the sky
Darkness blackens the world.
Our time has come.
This is our time – to die!
We had no chance to get away with nature's force unleashed.
A monster of unholy birth, a gawning abyss, lifeless beast.
The ship went down in depths unknown, through thunderstorm and rain.
A blackened hand not of this world grabbed our souls: You shall remain!
Fire from the sky
Darkness blackens the world.
Our time has come.
This is our time – to die!
Maelstrom - the end is nigh!
Fire from the sky
Darkness blackens the world.
Our time has come.
This is our time – to die!
Darkness falls across the sea
And leads us to our destiny
There is no way to break these chains
We are going down!

Till The Sun Rises

Far from home, from distant lands, we return.
For homeland we yearn!
A last breath, a final glimpse.
Before we are scattered to all the four winds!
Now abandon your ways, feel the power of night, there's no chance for us to deny.
It is time for you all to follow our path: Till the sun rises up in the sky!
To benumb the senses, our target was clear.
Discov'ring a tavern of wenches and beer.
The men fell for all those sweetest delights.
But being at home connects us tonight.
Now abandon your ways, feel the power of night, there's no chance for us to deny.
It is time for you all to drink up with us: Till the sun rises up in the sky!
Time to let this chapter close.
Our bond shall remain.
Mind our stories
Till we meet again!
Now abandon your ways, feel the power of night, there's no chance for us to deny.
It is time for you all to sing out with us: Till the sun rises up in the sky!

As far as Viking atmosphere goes in metal, I doubt there is a better band than Havamal. Their name suits them. The album keeps boosting the euphoria and ends off with one of the best tracks on it. Never lets go. The only natural thing to do is to set it on LOOP and go through the adventure again. Obligatory gym playlist material.
