Valkyrie! Flying onward! Leading the fallen home Valkyrie! Flying onward! Towards the gates of Odin's hall Valkyrie! Defenders of the throne Valkyrie! Majestic goddess of war Valkyrie's taking flight Riding with all their might Shield maidens ride! Seeking throughout the earth The fallen who died with worth Their spirit's they guide! Honor and bravery Is the nature of whom they seek Shield maidens with their war cries! Hymns of battle they sing Eclipsing the sky with their wings Ride valkyrie ride! Accepting the slain Those with courage and might The ones who may live And the ones who may die They lift up their spears They're warriors taking flight They ride with their shields held high Valkyrie! Riding by Odin's side! Valkyrie! Riding by Odin's side! Valkyrie! Flying onward! Leading the fallen home Valkyrie! Flying onward! Towards the gates of Odin's hall Valkyrie! Defenders of the throne Valkyrie! Majestic goddess of war Valkyrie's taking flight Riding with all their might Shield maidens ride! Seeking throughout the earth The fallen who died with worth Their spirit's they guide! Honor and bravery Is the nature of whom they seek Shield maidens with their war cries! Hymns of battle they sing Eclipsing the sky with their wings Ride valkyrie ride!
2.	A Clash of Gods 05:01	lyrics	buy track
Aesir! Vanir! War! The war of the gods! Odin sees the witch Freya, Gullveig She boasts about her lust for gold He loathes her avarice The Aesir become enraged Odin can't forgive Hatred grows within their heart For this she cannot live Aesir! Vanir! War! The war of the gods! They cast her in the flames The fires of Odin's hall Death became of her three times Three times she was reborn They could not kill the witch The Vanir's trust befalls The beginning of the world's first war The war to end all wars! Aesir! Vanir! War! The war of the gods! The battle rages on Then a truce is called upon The Aesir gods and Vanir gods Pay tribute to them all But Hoenir was a fool The Vanir are enraged They cut the head of Mimir And send it back to Odin Aesir! Vanir! War! The war of the gods!

Born in this world His fate is in the runes Vali, son of Odin Born to avenge Baldur He is the avenger! This is his fate He'll hunt down Hodr Vali, son of Odin Born to avenge Baldur He is the avenger!

Born in this world His fate is in the runes Vali, son of Odin Born to avenge Baldur He is the avenger! This is his fate He'll hunt down Hodr Vali, son of Odin Born to avenge Baldur He is the avenger! Rindr will bare Vali In the great hall Vali, son of Odin Will know his purpose at one night old Born with the courage A marksman with his bow Hodr's to be slain The giant soon will fall Born in this world His fate is in the runes Vali, son of Odin Born to avenge Baldur He is the avenger! This is his fate He'll hunt down Hodr Vali, son of Odin Born to avenge Baldur He is the avenger! Born in this world His fate is in the runes Vali, son of Odin Born to avenge Baldur He is the avenger! This is his fate He'll hunt down Hodr Vali, son of Odin Born to avenge Baldur He is the avenger!
4.	Hearts of Steel 04:46	lyrics	buy track
Charge towards the battlefield Odin guide's our history With hearts of steel our tales are told Of how we ride towards destiny! Swords to the sky Shields held up high Those ready to die will hear our battle cry Thunder strikes with piercing hail With Thor's help we cannot fail! Despair grips their fearful eyes! Charge towards the battlefield Odin guide's our history With hearts of steel our tales are told Of how we ride towards destiny! Swords to the sky Shields held up high Those ready to die will hear our battle cry We answer the call to arms With blood and sweat our brothers fall Their final voyage is the great hall! Charge towards the battlefield Odin guide's our history With hearts of steel our tales are told Of how we ride towards destiny! Swords to the sky Shields held up high Those ready to die will hear our battle cry A thousand men on mounted steeds The spirits of our forebears lead For ancient gods our foes will bleed!
5.	Into the Yawning Void 06:14	lyrics	buy track
Darkness and silence uninterrupted Before the birth of the cosmos Between the elements of fire and ice Fall into the nothingness Infinite darkness, spiraling descent Into the Ginnungagap! Never to see the light again Into the Ginnungagap! Infinite darkness, spiraling descent Into the Ginnungagap! This is the age where nothing was; No earth, no sea, no cold, No snow, no sky no light Into the Yawning Void! This is the age where nothing was; Only darkness in sight Endless depths eclipsed by night Into the Yawning Void! This is the age where nothing was; No earth, no sea, no cold, No snow, no sky no light Into the Yawning Void! This is the age where nothing was; Only darkness in sight Endless depths eclipsed by night Into the yawning Void! Eons pass where time stands still Fire burns from Muspelheim The ice forms in Niflheim Then Ymir is born Bringing life within the abyss! Into the Ginnungagap! Jotun rise! Life within! Into the Ginnungagap! Jotun rise! Life within! Into the Ginnungagap! This is the age where nothing was; No earth, no sea, no cold, No snow, no sky no light Into the Yawning Void! This is the age where nothing was; Only darkness in sight Endless depths eclipsed by night Into the yawning Void! This is the age where nothing was; No earth, no sea, no cold, No snow, no sky no light Into the Yawning Void! This is the age where nothing was; Only darkness in sight Endless depths eclipsed by night Into the yawning Void! Into the yawning void! Into the Ginnungagap!
6.	Wings of the Blood Eagle 04:08	lyrics	buy track
A king brought to his knees before his captors Defeated by the raiders of the north Begging for his life with his neck pressed on the knife No mercy, no remorse! Only vengeance for our fallen! Blood eagle! Soaring high on crimson wings Blood eagle! Death is the only escape Blood eagle! Terror grips with searing pain! On the wings of the blood Eagle! Blood eagle! Soaring high on crimson wings Blood eagle! Death is the only escape Blood eagle! Terror grips with searing pain! On the wings of the blood Eagle! The axe strikes hard on the naked back As they crack through flesh and bone they pull the lungs out He looks to the sky with horror stricken eyes Ask yourself...Where is your god? Blood eagle! Soaring high on crimson wings Blood eagle! Death is the only escape Blood eagle! Terror grips with searing pain! On the wings of the blood Eagle! Vengeance! On the wings of the blood eagle! Vengeance! Soaring high on crimson wings! Vengeance! On the wings of the blood eagle! Vengeance! On crimson wings he flies! Lead to demise On crimson wings he flies!
7.	Sacred Runes 06:18	lyrics	buy track
At the center of the cosmos Home of the gods The world tree Yggdrasil stands tall. At the roots of this mighty tree From the well of Urd The Norns shape all worldly fate. Carving the sacred runes From his throne in Asgard, Odin watches from afar Envious of their wisdom Hungry for knowledge of the stars He pierced himself with his spear. He hung himself from the world tree. Falling deeper into the abyss Death not be feared With his life slipping on the edge of death Wisdom will be his soon! Hanging there for nine whole days and nine whole nights He calls out to the runes! Odin's sacrifice! Unto himself From the depths of the cosmos These runes are ours to use. A gift for all mankind From the All fathers sacrifice! Oppression's grip is doomed. Behold the sacred runes! Through the suffering near the end The runes appear before him. His sacrifice well met Elated he shouts with glory In his moments near death He truly grew and thrived. From a word to a word The All father's sacrifice! Equipped with the knowledge of the cosmos Power is his reward. With the secrets of the runes Odin's strength and knowledge grew. He gave himself to himself. Through pain and agony To understand through strife and will How his mind can be set free! Odin's sacrifice! Unto himself From the depths of the cosmos These runes are ours to use. A gift for all mankind From the All fathers sacrifice! Oppression's grip is doomed. Behold the sacred runes!
8.	The Binding of Loki 03:48	lyrics	buy track
Loki fled to the mountains far Towards the snow covered plains Far away from Asgard The Aesir search far and wide There he hid beneath the waterfalls But Odin's eye see's all He tried to escape From their sight He crawls into the waters Thor pursues the deceiver Loki's now enthralled Captured by the thunder god! Loki bound! Retribution and justice For all he's done! He'll answer to the gods Cast out from Asgard Loki's kin stand before him Transformed to the wolf his entrails ripped open With his guts he's bound Deep in the cavernous cave Bound to the rocks he cannot escape Skadi places the poisonous snake high above him Midgard trembles as the venom falls on his skin Sigyn, his faithful wife at the deceiver's side She shields his face from the venom One bowl at a time From this day he'll swear revenge With the aid of Jotunheim! He'll take on vengeance! Asgard will crumble Bringing forth Ragnarok! He'll bring forth Ragnarok! He'll bring forth Ragnarok! Loki bound! Retribution and justice For all he's done! He'll answer to the gods Cast out from Asgard Loki bound Loki bound Loki bound Loki bound
9.	Tyrfing 04:12	lyrics	buy track
Tyrfing! The cursed sword of kings! Powerful and sharp with a bright golden hilt The cursed sword of kings! The fate of it's holder is death! A sword forged and cursed by two captive dwarves The great sword Tyrfing! Dvalinn and Durinn are threatened with death Against their will they forge the greatest of swords A sword for a king Tyrfing! The cursed sword of kings! Powerful and sharp with a bright golden hilt The cursed sword of kings! The fate of it's holder is death! A sword forged and cursed by two captive dwarves The great sword Tyrfing! In an act of revenge a curse is brought forth Tyrfing brings death to it's possessor Three kings will wield the greatest of swords Bringing them glory in battle with victories won Then three kings will die! Tyrfing! The cursed sword of kings! Powerful and sharp with a bright golden hilt The cursed sword of kings! The fate of it's holder is death! A sword forged and cursed by two captive dwarves The great sword Tyrfing! Tyrfing!
10.	Defenders of Yore 05:41	lyrics	buy track
Masters of war Our oath to the king we swore That 'Until the death we'll defend' As our journey nears it's end We are the old guard of yore Legends of time Men who've long past their prime Yet our fire burns bright Forged from valor and might! We are the old guard of yore The defenders of yore! From the days of long ago Proud warriors of the north Countless battles they've won Now they're fleeting with age Soon their work is done Hand me my sword We'll mount our steeds once more! Hand me my shield Glory awaits on the battlefield Legends of old Their tales of courage be told Broken aged and beaten down They've long defended the crown A grateful king stands proud They'll fire the burning arrows Towards the long ships Through the night the fires glow Ready the gates of Valhalla For the defenders of yore! The defenders of yore! From the days of long ago Proud warriors of the north Countless battles they've won Now fleeting with age Soon their work is done Hand me my sword We'll mount our steeds once more! Hand me my shield Glory awaits on the battlefield!
