Battle Born 04:10
lyrics

Battle ships have struck the land The enemies stand ahead Armed with our swords and shields We'll paint a sea of red! Thunder strikes as weapons clash As we charge over the hills One thousand vikings strong at heart Hungry for the kill! Rain falling down, blood in my eyes Ready to stand alone if my brothers die! Forebears of the past, guide us to the fight Bloodlust soars high, battle born am I! The thunder storm is raging hard Lightning fills the skies All opposing men stand jarred Thor is on our side! With every clash of steel on steel His hammer strikes the earth! If the enemy rather die than kneel We'll test their sense of worth! Rain falling down, blood in my eyes Ready to stand alone if my brothers die! Forebears of the past, guide us to the fight Bloodlust soars high, battle born am I! Blood and sweat, face to face Two warriors stand alone A glorious battle to take place Their fate is set in stone! One must live, one must die They'll fight with all their might! For one, Valhalla's gates unfold The other will live to fight! Rain falling down, blood in my eyes Ready to stand alone if my brothers die! Forebears of the past, guide us to the fight Bloodlust soars high, battle born am I!

Thunder God Arise 05:00

Crashing through the violent waves The world eater has emerged Midgard’s best cannot defend From Jormungandr’s scourge One by one, the heroes fall With none left to take arms One by one, the beast consumes A hero heeds the call! Raise your swords! Raise them high! Here comes the thunder god soaring through the skies From Asgard to Midgard He is Thor, Odin’s son! Champion of the gods! The Midgard beast rises high Poison fills the skies Striking hard, the thunder god Unleashes Mjolnir’s might With every clash the serpent yields Falling down below Gaining strength, the serpent strikes A fearsome clash of foes! Raise your swords! Raise them high! Here comes the thunder god soaring through the skies From Asgard to Midgard He is Thor, Odin’s son! Champion of the gods! Venom strikes! Venom strikes! The sky! The world serpent will not relent! The Fight! Lightning strikes! Lightning strikes! The sky! Odin’s son! Carry on! Thunder god arise! Jormungandr writhes in pain From Mjolnir’s deadly blows With lightning speed the serpent strikes Weakness in Thor will not show Venom courses through his veins Decreasing his mighty will Determination seen in his eyes Thunder god arise! Raise your swords! Raise them high! Here comes the thunder god soaring through the skies From Asgard to Midgard He is Thor, Odin’s son! Champion of the gods! He's the Champion of the gods! Champion of the gods! He's the Champion of the gods! Champion of the gods!

The Hand of Tyr 04:37
lyrics

There he stands in the shadows! The dreadful beast and son of the deceiver The wolf known as Fenrir There he stands in the shadows! Striking fear in the gods Only one god stands tall He has taken the task Of binding the beast in its tracks For honor, for glory, for justice! The courage and valor of Tyr! The wolf grants his trust to the god But not without sacrifice! Tyr offers his hand to lay in the jaws of the beast There he stands in the shadows! As the gods lay binds to the beast The wolf has been betrayed From fury and rage comes a growl! He devours the hand of Tyr! For honor, for glory, for justice! The courage and valor of Tyr! For honor For glory For justice! The hand of Tyr! For honor, for glory, for justice! The courage and valor of Tyr!

Beneath the cold winter depths of Niflheim Lies a realm of darkness and fog My son Hermod, take this steed of mine Sleipnir is willing and strong! You must meet face to face with the godess of death Please reason with her, my son! The whole world weeps for him and what Loke’s done! Bring back the brother we’ve lost! Sleipnir ride! Ride through the ice and fog Baldur’s cries are heard from far Bring him back! Into the aesir’s arms Loke must pay! For what he’s done! The journey’s hard and long towards the gates of hel But Hermod’s spirit holds strong! All that’s seen for miles are souls of the damned Tortured cries now their songs Icy blue flames exuding the coldest winds Lighting the pillars from far There she sits up high on the Throne of Ice! Baldur in chains at her side Sleipnir ride! Ride through the ice and fog Baldur’s cries are heard from far Bring him back! Into the aesir’s arms Loke must pay! For what he’s done! Goddess of death! I have traveled far I have but one request. To grant life back to Baldur The aesir’s grieve for him The world weeps for his loss This treachery would come undone Please hel heed this call! Welcome Hermod! Indeed you’ve traveled far If what you say is true to be then Baldur shall return Only if the world truly weeps for him All the living and the dead Only then can Baldur return from death Only then will his soul be free! Sleipnir ride! Ride through the ice and fog Baldur’s cries are heard from far Bring him back! Into the aesir’s arms Loke must pay! For what he’s done! Sleipnir ride! Ride through the ice and fog Baldur’s cries are heard from far Bring him back! Into the aesir’s arms Loke must pay! For what he’s done!

Jotun! of the fire realm Born of fire and rage The answer to this plague Forging since the dawn of time A weapon to destroy mankind Unleashing his primal hate His destiny awaits! Nothing will live! No one survives! From Muspelheim he will arrive! Furious wrath, none left alive! Vengeance and fire, vengeance and fire! Nothing will live! No one survives! From Muspelheim he will arrive! Furious wrath, none left alive! Vengeance and fire! Scorcher! of the cosmos As the world tree falls A universe is enthralled All will be reborn as fire His flaming sword brings fate that’s dire Unleashing his primal hate His destiny awaits! Nothing will live! No one survives! From Muspelheim he will arrive! Furious wrath, none left alive! Vengeance and fire, vengeance and fire! Nothing will live! No one survives! From Muspelheim he will arrive! Furious wrath, none left alive! Vengeance and fire! Surtur rise! Drive your flaming sword into the heart of Asgard! All will die! The gods shall fall! The universe is set ablaze! Chaos throughout all nine realms Surtur’s fury overwhelms Ragnarok is now at hand Blackened remnants of their last stand Unleashing his primal hate His destiny awaits! Nothing will live! No one survives! From Muspelheim he will arrive! Furious wrath, none left alive! Vengeance and fire, vengeance and fire! Nothing will live! No one survives! From Muspelheim he will arrive! Furious wrath, none left alive! Vengeance and fire! All there will be, all there ever was… …Is vengeance and fire! Vengeance and fire!

Wolf and Raven 05:33
lyrics

Nights ago these visions entered my dreams There he sat upon the oaken throne The one-eyed wanderer and father of man Surrounded by forest and runic stone I stood before him as he showed me the way His visions soon came to be mine there I see through the ravens eyes the wild hunt has begun! Blackbirds fly! On the path of alluring skies! Wolves unite! On the cries of the ravens high! Blackbirds fly! On the path of alluring skies! Wolves unite! On the cries of the ravens high! Blackbirds fly! On the path of alluring skies! Wolves unite! On the cries of the ravens high! Blackbirds fly! On the path of alluring skies! Wolves unite! On the cries of the ravens high! The ravens fly on pitch black wings The wolves begin their pursuit The moonlit skies echo the howl’s on high The blackbirds answer with their cries Swiftly they tread on the winter’s breath The wild hunt unites them strong The hunter hunts while the seeker seeks The wolf and the raven are one! Blackbirds fly! On the path of alluring skies! Wolves unite! On the cries of the ravens high! Blackbirds fly! On the path of alluring skies! Wolves unite! On the cries of the ravens high!

In the Name of Revenge 06:04
lyrics

During the dead of night On a cold winters embrace They rode in strong on horseback At a swift and deadly pace Armour clad, weapons high and torches set ablaze These raiders plundered without remorse All in the name of their king. They killed my wife! They killed my kin! A village set on fire! No man left alive, our people lost to time Through the chaos, smoke and ash One man stands alone His hunt begins to the ends of the earth Through the pain he's made his own On this day, we ride for revenge! The blood we spill, is on their hands! In the name of revenge! Years and years gone by His strength growing with strife An anger burns within This pain cannot subside For the men who did him wrong He searches far and wide With every strike of his blade His legacy grows in time His name now known by all A name that's bound with death With this fate his foes have dealt They've sealed their final breath The only solace to come Is cold blade to their throat! They will see into my eyes They were marked dead long ago! On this day, we ride for revenge! The blood we spill, is on their hands! In the name of revenge! During the dead of night On a cold winters embrace We've reached the stronghold of our foes To meet them face to face! We breach the fortress tall To slaughter all in our way There he sits on his throne Bewildered that we came Begging for his life, a proud and noble king! I grip his head firm and tight and bring him to his knees unsheathe my Iron sword and raise it high above Smash it down through his skull! Now my work is done! On this day, we ride for revenge! The blood we spill, is on their hands! In the name of revenge!

Return to the North 06:44

Return to the North! Return to the North! Return to the North! Return to the North! Our beaten ships search for shores They carry many dead The battles past were long and fierce Fought bravely until the end Now they see Valhalla’s gates A rest that’s well deserved We sail back now to our homeland Were the heroes shall return Victory is ours! Under the northern star Our spirits free to roam Now we head back home! Return to the North! Return to the North! Return to the North! Return to the North! As we port on northern piers Lays a vision all too grand Forests vast and mountain sides We trek through the woodlands Our victors march on Odin’s path Where mother nature dwells Bloodstained swords and broken shields With many stories to tell Victory is ours! Under the northern star Our spirits free to roam Now we head back home! Frost and hail cloak these trails Now we part by the northern star. Victory is ours! Under the northern star Our spirits free to roam Now we head back home! Return to the North! Return to the North! Return to the North! Return to the North!
