Bloodline Of The Berserk
04:29
|
|||
|
Out of the crypt of a thousand pains hears a scream. It echoes out to every man who’s worthy the deed: ”In the bloodline of the berserk runs the genes of Odin. Gather all in the halls now, drink his holy mead” ja-a!
Fight for the right: adventures of the great one. Fight with might against all that is wicked. Hear his calling, serve your master. He is here now to solve the disasters.
Berserk! x4
Cleanse the land from the undead, your enemy eternal. It goes out to you, now, you’re worthy the deed. In the pain of a thousand souls you have suffered. So hold aloft your Viking mead horn now and drink, yeah!
From the unreal through metal dreams comes the truth. Odin’s wish, Runelord’s heed dictates to you. You are the berserk, it’s all in you. With power and glory you’ll crush the untrue.
Stare them straight in the eyes: the duty of the hero. Fight the night against the wicked ones. Hear his calling, serve your master. He is here now to solve the disasters.
He is here now to solve the disasters. Fight with might!

Purified Hatred
03:54
|

|
He’s the man… X3
He’s the man of purified hatred. Who will slay or be slain. In the very end of time of righteousness, he’ll call upon his father’s reign.
Who will strike them with lightnings…
Yaa, yaa. yaaaaooo!
Son of the sky walks the earth seared by sin and pain. He walks towards the final war.
The war: man against the hordes of beast-men. Alone he gazes the sky for guidance, no!
And yet he knows no desolation. He knows it’s his final day. The rune of death, grave and salvation… he’d write upon the face of fallen friends.
When I call my fathers name I open up the righteous rune of bane
And unleased his power on the beastmen who died, and stayed dead
Upon calling his father’s very name… he’d open up the righteous rune of bane! And unleash its power upon the beast-men. Who will die and forever stay… dead!
He will return to breed and prosper. Once again the land would rise
No signs of threat left down here will remain . But left is still the war of death and vain
Who will strike them with lightnings…
Yaa, yaa. yaaaaooo!
”Son, read runes gaze into them, you who’d slay or be slain. In the very end of time of righteousness, hide your blood in a cave.”

The Wisdom Of Steel
03:42
|
|||
|
I dress in armor. With demonic being that’s the way you deal. As I enter the crypt to collect the wisdom of the steel.
With my mace I crushed the re-animated skeleton… to get the key to enter Runelord’s dominion.
Die! Die! Die!
Mace no shield – the wisdom of the steel…
I take on the burden to save the world. No false wisdom rules. I hear the calling from Runelord’s realm. I must possess them… the runes of all that is real.
I dress in armor. With demonic being that’s the way you deal. As I enter the crypt to collect the wisdom of the steel.
And with my axe, I chopped the clay golem… who guard the gold – now mine For prosper and fortune
Axe no shield – the wisdom of the steel…
And with my sword… I stabbed the necromancer ghoul… in the heart, to get to the inner sanctum.
Sword no shield – the wisdom of the steel...
I found the runes, to read them not steal. In my mind, I possess the wisdom of the steel!
Runes no yield – wisdom of steel…

Heathen Religion
05:07
|
|||
|
Obey!
Warrior of the good… armor up… once again for you next intermezzo.
You are a man not of the crowd. A man built by holy true vital power
Above the vast bulk of zealots with rotten souls – you must now dictate:
”Down on your knees, don’t think obey me.
Down on your knees, submit the supreme
the heathen religion, heathen religion.
obey!
Through the stream of ignorance a few stand on cliffs in waves of twisted minds. It has always been, will forever be, it’s the way of the heathen leaders... obey!
You are the gold of this world; you have to lead the way , leading humanity. Into the hall of protection!
It’s behind ideology, religions and political pleadings.
do you do it for the greater good or do you do it for evil?
Heathen of good or… heathen of evil?
Heathen of good or… heathen of evil? (choir)
Heathen of good or… heathen of evil?
Heathen of good or… heathen of evil? (choir)

War All Against All
04:02
|
|||
|
You think you have a chance in alliance with the mad
Madness of the beast warlocks – all sick in their head
But you’ll perish in flames with all that is bad
As youre watching your fate fade away... Warlock, you are mad…
War all against all
Through veils of plague and pestilence comes a message from the past.
It tells what will proceed, it tells what will last:
the Universe is built on the law of the war: its to rule or be ruled you or me. And you are mad!
When you and I stand eye to eye
in the infernal war:
Warlocks burning everywhere
all against all
That is why all my kind raises their fist in the air
and punches the sky, and hailing through the eons yelling:
die, die, die, die

Valkyries Eternal Winter

|

|
Valkyries, women of steel. they have arrived with the holy blessing of peace, straight from the sky
Executed with the sage of the polar rotations, just a few will survive.
Holy men deals with the hate (extreme)
And the army of Fenris will always survive
to taint Odin’s children, forever spread lies
From within slaughter and kill!
Valkyries, valkyries, valkyries eternal winter!
They control the bitter winter, they control the fate of man. They control the winter darkness that will fall upon man. Fair ladies, they’re angry that women are raped and enslaved. You will hear their rage in the thunder before our final fate.
And the army of Fenris will always survive
to taint Odin’s children, forever spread lies
From within slaughter and kill!
Valkyries, valkyries, valkyries eternal winter!
The angels of the north, they willl bury civilizations in their blizzard of hate. eternal winter of the valkyries, twenty generations awaits, 700 years of gruesome hate.
Valkyries, fair beings of ease, will follow the order of Odin: to kill them marked by the Beast.
KILL THEM ALL marked by the Beast! KILL THEM ALL marked by the Beast! KILL THEM ALL marked by the Beast!

Valhalla Within

We walk like machines. No illusions in our brains. And the fate of the world are in our fists of steel
lead by metal dreams, you will fall once again dark enemy. Because, we are:
Free from sin, We live the ideal
Blood from the righteou s kin,
suppliers of pain separate the pure from the rest.
Recognize the Beast, consume the holy feast
pork and beef, beer and mead. Execute Runelord’s deed
We’re the holy saviors of man,
Valhalla within, Valhalla within! X2
Free from sin, We live the ideal
cunning of runes of real.
Legion of possessed you’re all on the list. Bringers of good arrives!
Victory! Thats the way it will be
Victory! because that is the way we tell.
You, with demons in your souls, beware our path. We walk the desert world, the Valley of death. You might notice just before we strike a sonic blast, the blast of thunder, of Thor – the destructor. Or if not, you’re on gods’ side with Valhalla within!
Remember that shields are made for cowards, it’s the wisdom of steel. The best of protection is always to attack! That is the way we are – we’re god-men – we’re Valhalla, and we walk like machines.

Terror In The Dungeons
04:11
|
|||
|
The inhabitants in the Dungeon of death were about to begin their ritual.
A kidnapped maiden was tied by her hands to a blood stained altar.
Gathered around her, a crowd urging for pleasure,
and to sacrifice her remnants to their sickening false god.
To be sent on a mission: to enter their dungeon, show no mercy at all
lighting and thunder – revenge for the last tribe’s asunder.
Now – scream: ah-ah, aah, ah, ah-argh! Aaargh!
No mercy will be shown until… they fall...
In the dungeons deep below, an army of the undead arise again
Maiden and undeads awaits – rescue, merciless – they await counter-terror
The last war was raging a long time ago…
But again grows an army of undead, we must fight
A gang of the bravest: We, shaman spirits.
To a place of unreal
To be sent on a mission: to enter their dungeon, show no mercy at all
Back then: lighting and thunder – revenge for the last tribe’s asunder.
Now – scream: ah-ah, aah, ah, ah-argh! Aaargh!
No mercy will be shown until… they fall...
In the dungeons deep below, an army of the undead arise again
Maiden and undeads awaits – rescue, merciless – they await counter-terror
To show no mercy at all – is the coming of who we are… ah, ah.

A Message From The Past
03:41

|
A message from the past we received
It tells the thing that ever lasts
From far beyond till here theres something for the mer ones!
And in the past the future is written, it tells us all:
” the evolution of man is the killing, the killing. Gods… we left behind and people are villains,
the hands of Odin supreme – cosmic being.”
Heathen – the heathen call. - Runelord is calling!
”Be the heathen which you are, be more, be free.”
Through veils of plague and pestilence comes a message from the past.
It tells what will proceed it tells the things that everlasts
And in the past the future is written, it tells us all:
” the evolution of man is the killing, the killing. Gods… we left behind and people are villains,
the hands of Odin supreme – cosmic being.”
Heathen – the heathen call. - Runelord is calling!
”Be the heathen which you are, be more, be free.”
It tells the thing that ever lasts: the heathen call. [The scream of a thousand pains] It calls out forever.

Beyond The Epos
05:45
|
|||
|
On dragon-ships we sail across the endless seas of eternal sorrow.
Viking-men of fame deserts landscapes of filth for a land of higher hope.
Worship the rune of righteousness…
Over the edge of Middle-earth to a higher ground in the azure sky
at the top of creation world tree, we sing the anthem of Runelore:
On green plains we strand as Odin welcomes us. In the halls we feast a last time, and prepare for the final war: Fenris the Beast, Hel’s mental slaves and witchcraft of Loki and Gullweig .
Both sides will perish in hate, we survive the death
Beyond the epos x2
”Every day is the recreation, death, grave and salvation!...” X4
An epos that repeats itself, every day we take a stand against the legion of possessed. This is the end of unrighteousness... Beyond...
”Every day is the recreation, death, grave and salvation!...” X4
We… fall down and worship the rune of righteousness…!
With the wind in our hair and courageous deeds in our past
We ride our ships into the open gate - we're finally there at last!
