Brothers Of Metal - Prophecy Of Ragnarök lyrics



Tracks



01. The Death Of The God Of Light

Out on the fields where the lonely horizons lies
So cold to the touch, every valley is made of ice
Fairest of gods, he was forced to be put on trials
Facing his end staring in to the tricksters eyes

Metal and steel, fire and ice
Was thrown at his naked brow
They all were repelled no matter the might
Nothing could harm him now

God of light so wise and strong
The fairest of them all
His downfall was a mistletoe
Now hope is bound to fall

Loki’s plan so evil and so vicious in its way
Now only tears can save the worlds
From Ragnarök’s dismay

In search for the truth he came up with a grand disguise
One conversation that lit up his evil eyes
For Loki, the envy was too much for him to bear
A secret revealed of a flower with skills so rare

Metal and steel, fire and ice
Was thrown at his naked brow
They all were repelled no matter the might
Nothing could harm him now

God of light so wise and strong
The fairest of them all
His downfall was a mistletoe
Now hope is bound to fall

Loki’s plan so evil and so vicious in its way
Now only tears can save the worlds
From Ragnarök’s dismay

02. Son Of Odin

I am the son of Odin
I bring lighting from the sky
With my hammer Mjölnir
I was born to die

Brother of deception
Leaves me with no choice
I want to scream my heart out
But I have lost my voice

Thursday bears my name
Shameless I’m still the same
All father of wind and rain
Thunder I am your bane

I believe in honour
And my fist made of steel
Loki is my brother, he has no sex appeal

Fire, blood and magic
Leaves me with a thirst
I want to ride to battle
But I have lost my horse

Thursday bears my name
Shameless I’m still the same
All father of wind and rain
Thunder I am your bane

Our warriors, we come riding from beyond
Oh the bravest few we look for you
Who are worthy of hearing our song
We will carry every broken heart and bone
Fall asleep and by Odin be reborn

Thursday bears my name
Shameless I’m still the same
All father of wind and rain
Thunder I am your bane

03. Prophecy Of Ragnarök

Prophecy of Ragnarök, twilight of the gods
No escaping destiny when Balder’s gone
Snow and ice will freeze the world, mountains crack
Fenrir’s fetters is no more, the sky is turning black

Prophecy of Ragnarök, legend of our death
Time to be corroded by the serpent’s breath
Riding through the wastelands, there’s fire everywhere
The gods won’t be around to hear our final prayer

Axe-time, sword-time – gods go under
Wind-time, wolf-time – death to all
Axe-time, sword-time – shields are sundered
Wind-time, wolf-time – worlds will fall

Titans of justice – fearless we stand
Odin, all father are we blessed by your hand?
Together we rise, together we fight
We ride in to battle and in to the night

The giants are raging, the gods meet their fate
The heaves crack open, thunder fall through the land
Guardian of bifrost is blowing his horn
We ride into battle and into the storm

Brothers they e fighting together, side by side
Valkyries assembling as Aegir brings the tide
In Odin’s hall we gather, champions from the past
Warriors of Valhalla – we will die last!

Everything’s devoured by the rushing of waves
The bottom of the ocean will be our graves
Mountains clash together, under Yggdrasil
Crumbling to pieces and sink into the sea

Axe-time, sword-time – gods go under
Wind-time, wolf-time – death to all
Axe-time, sword-time – shields are sundered
Wind-time, wolf-time – worlds will fall

Titans of justice – fearless we stand
Odin, all father are we blessed by your hand?
Together we rise, together we fight
We ride in to battle and in to the night

The giants are raging, the gods meet their fate
The heaves crack open, thunder fall through the land
Guardian of bifrost is blowing his horn
We ride into battle and into the storm

A perfect darkness follows all
A perfect silence to end the war
Oh Ginnungagap, oh bottomless abyss
It’s the ultimate nothingness where death is bliss

Warriors of Valhalla
Hear my final words
This is our purpose
This is our end

04. Defenders Of Valhalla

They can take away our lives
But they van never take our metal

This is a tale of warriors
Questing far and wide
A tale so true and glorious
It will turn the tide

Those who have seen us
Either fled or died
And those who tell you otherwise
Know that they have lied

We’re siblings of the north
Eight we’re standing strong
Adventuring across the realms
To write this awesome song

On our quest for might and glory
Foes will fall
Filling up our inventory
A potion of strength for all

We are warriors of the world
In our hearts we know what’s right
We will stand up for the weak
And bring the flames of courage into the fight

Champions
Defenders of Valhall, with glory we ride
Together, side by side
We strike down on evil with all our might
Guardians of light
With hammers of justice we will win the fight
Brothers and sisters unite
We will rise

Nidhögg the dragon
Gnawing at our tree
Defenders of Valhalla
We will banish thee

Sture the storm born
Quick as one can be
Catching every squirrel
And crush them with his knee

Agnar has fallen
He fought like a beast
If we all shall die today
Tomorrow we will feast

Snorre, son of Sturla
The greatest skald he be
Telling tales of ancients
The future he could see

Champions
Defenders of Valhall, with glory we ride
Together, side by side
We strike down on evil with all our might
Guardians of light
With hammers of justice we will win the fight
Brothers and sisters unite
We will rise

05. Concerning Norns

There stands an ash called Yggdrasil
A might tree, showered in white hail
From there come the dews that fall in the valleys
It stands evergreen above Urd’s well

From there come maidens, very wise
Three from the lake that lies beneath the pole

One is called Urd, she’s the weaver of faith
Another Verdande who’s forever present
Skuld is the third, the future lives within her

Together they carve into the tree
The lives and destinies of children, men and gods

To them, the all-knowing, we pay our dues this day
As we bring you our hymn, Yggdrasil

06. Yggdrasil

Rising up from a day of plunder
The ale of yesterday has gone down under
The battlefield awaits my soul to Odin – for whom I wait
Thor guide me through my battles
Lead me home to Asgard
The victorious will rise to the glory of the gods

Rise above the mountains
Light a fire in the sky
For the blood is running still
From the roots of Yggdrasil
Rise above the mountains
Light a fire in the sky
Carry me to the hill
To the top of Yggdrasil

In the hour of final judgement all father, lead my way
When the fire of war reign I will watch my brothers fall
Our names will be long forgotten we live on forever
The victorious will rise to the glory of the gods

Rise above the mountains
Light a fire in the sky
For the blood is running still
From the roots of Yggdrasil
Rise above the mountains
Light a fire in the sky
Carry me to the hill
To the top of Yggdrasil

In the dust I swore my hatred
From seeing unborn children die
The mothers weeping wakes my sword for vengeance
I thirst for blood

I ride into infinity and as if all I rise in Asgard
The victorious will rise to the glory of the gods

Rise above the mountains
Light a fire in the sky
For the blood is running still
From the roots of Yggdrasil
Rise above the mountains
Light a fire in the sky
Carry me to the hill
To the top of Yggdrasil

07. Tyr

One arm, one fist
One battle in the night
So pale, so stiff
Defeated by Tyr and his might

The raging thunder strikes
May gods be with us
My sword of doom is wet
Around me – blood, tears and death

My god of justice - Revenge in you name
Guide me to victory - Victory and pain
Remember the fallen - The wicked brave
Make it your day

For Tuesday
It’s Tuesday
It’s Tyr

My arm, his feast
Great jaws of fire
So brute, this beast
Blood he desires

In moonlight Fenrir cries
I stole his freedom
Now Gleipner holds him tight
Made out of beard, spit and breath

My god of justice - Revenge in you name
Guide me to victory - Victory and pain
Remember the fallen - The wicked brave
Make it your day

For Tuesday
It’s Tuesday
It’s Tyr

08. Siblings Of Metal

Gods of war
May your hammer be mighty!

Fire, blood and steel
The wrath of the gods is all we feel
Metal that is real

Thunder and lightning strikes
As we ride in to the night
Hammers and gods of might

We’re chasing freedom with ultimate steel
An epic journey begins
Across the wastelands, over the seven seas
We are the brothers of metal

Raves are crossing the sky
When a Viking is questing arrows fly
Fighting until we die
Hammer and sword held high
We’re spreading fear with our battle cry
Reaching for the sky

On our way to victory we fight for certain death
Forever we are one and we are glorious

We’re chasing freedom with ultimate steel
An epic journey begins
Across the wastelands, over the seven seas
We are the brothers of metal

09. Gods Of War

So now we have gathered, with mead in our veins
We drink and we gamble we’re screaming your names
Filling our horns for the gods and their rein
We’re warriors of Valhalla, we’ll rise again
The tavern is shaking, the barrels are drained
We’re brothers of metal

We’re fucking, we’re fighting, we bleed
And we’re never gonna fail before the sons of Odin

All hail gods of war – war
All hail gods of war – hail my brothers
All hail gods of war – war
All hail gods of war – brothers of metal

As brothers arrive they are joining the feast
All brought from the battle by the Valkyries
And Saerimnir feeds every man, every beast
In life we would suffer, but here we are pleased
So drink brother, drink for the living deceased
We’re brothers of metal

We’re fucking, we’re fighting, we bleed
And we’re never gonna fail before the sons of Odin

All hail gods of war – war
All hail gods of war – hail my brothers
All hail gods of war – war
All hail gods of war – brothers of metal

10. Freya

There’s a goddess, love is her mark
She breathes life into all
She’s the master of death of lust and war
And her beauty known wide and far

Queen of the Valkyries
The fiercest of cavalries – for death, a legion
Into the night she rides
As the northern lights

With her band of sisters
She will conquer all
All her enemies will fall
Within the darkness, comfort find
When in sorrow your heart bound
In her tears of red gold

Her lover, gone
Through night and through dawn
Missing, far at sea

In a feathered robe
She ventures forth, her beloved to set free

Gods of Alfheim awaits a sign of the highborn child
Gone for years, searching for her one and only one
As the fields, plagued by death rot away

Found at last, lost at sea
Forever he will haunt her dreams
A tear of gold is shed by the priestess so true

With her band of sisters
She will conquer all
All her enemies will fall
Within the darkness, comfort find
When in sorrow your heart bound
In her tears of red gold

Her lover, gone
Through night and through dawn
Missing, far at sea

In a feathered robe
She ventures forth, her beloved to set free

11. The Mead Song

This is a song about death, mead and a goat
The Einherjars final preparation for Ragnarök
Welcome to the land of no hangovers!

If you are ruthless, in battle so true
If chosen in death there is room for you too
By an army of Valkyries, taken away
To the hall of the fallen
A feast awaits

Mead – another
Into the mist the she-goat will us lead
From Heidrun’s teat the endless stream of mead

Drink brother drink there’s no need to think

We fight until we rise again, we drink until we fall
We kill each other every day ‘til the final battle call
We’re an army of warriors, vicious and strong in the hall of the fallen
The feast goes on

Mead – another
Into the mist the she-goat will us lead
From Heidrun’s teat the endless stream of mead

Pour me another and you’ll be my brothers

When you are thirsty and hungry for fights
There’s no need to worry – there’s mead left and right
We’re an army so wasted, no mead is too strong in the hall of the fallen
Hear our song

Mead – another
Into the mist the she-goat will us lead
From Heidrun’s teat the endless stream of mead

12. Sleipnir

Loki, the greatest magician of all
He’s on a mission, a giant to stall
He seduces, disguised as a mare
And carries out Sleipnir, his womb he would tear

He’s quicker than quicksand and faster than all
He still has no stable, he lives in a hall
Over the mountains and over the seas
Swifter than time, he moves like a breeze

Faster than lightning he rides
Over the mountain so high
Swiftly he flies over land over sea
All father’s pony takes the lead
For he is the ultimate breed
And Sleipnir is his name

He carries all father from his might hall
From battle to battle, he’s stronger than all
Like the wind he rides to the north
Eight legs of fire venturing fourth

A slippery charger, no one is his match
A god among horses – he strikes and attacks
Hoofs made of steel, like war drums so loud
Run Sleipnir, run, show us the meaning of haste

Faster than lightning he rides
Over the mountain so high
Swiftly he flies over land over sea
All father’s pony takes the lead
For he is the ultimate breed
And Sleipnir is his name

13. Fire Blood And Steel

We are the sons of Odin
Fire, blood and steel
Kings of heavy metal
Fire, blood and steel
We’re brave, we raid, we’re mad men
Brothers of heavy metal
Guardians of war

On the battlefield we are but one
Side by side, blood by blood
Dual-wield, armour so strong
Crushing the enemy down to the ground

Every man, woman, child and unborn
Hear my roar, feel my wrath
Fuck you all, we will prevail
We will splinter your skulls
Into toothpicks an grains

We will fuck you up
Cause we’re brothers of metal

We are the sons of Odin
Fire, blood and steel
Kings of heavy metal
Fire, blood and steel
We’re brave, we raid, we’re mad men
Brothers of heavy metal
Guardians of war

On your deathbed you’ll cry out in pain
Steal your steel, stole your steel
Swing your axe, swing every sword
In my eyes there’s no fear to be found

Burning down everything in our path
No regrets, no remorse
Our steel will never get cold
For raging and raiding will never grow old

We are the sons of Odin
Fire, blood and steel
Kings of heavy metal
Fire, blood and steel
We’re brave, we raid, we’re mad men
Brothers of heavy metal
Guardians of war

14. We Believe In Metal

Wimps and posers beware
For true metal is here
Brothers and sisters you fear
For true warriors are everywhere

We forge our metal with pride
And honour the brave that die by our side
Together we stand in a fight
Heed our call
Warriors unite

We believe in metal
An army of warriors who fight by our side
All you need is metal
United in battle we reach for the sky

What we accomplish tonight
Shall echo in ages, in taverns they shout
The trial of the gods has brought us here
We know the ascension to Valhalla is near

We forge our metal with pride
And honour the brave that die by our side
Together we stand in a fight
Heed our call
Warriors unite

We believe in metal
An army of warriors who fight by our side
All you need is metal
United in battle we reach for the sky
