In every hallway there's a hidden door
You will it into existence, you think it open
Inside Silence rules supreme
Within the laws of absolute Darkness
Two stars, too far for travel
Now her eyes a home for all beauty and grace
The open sea, the seafarer's lonely tomb
Now her soul a haven for the believer
The thousand deaths of fire and ice
Now her skin as the New World
The tormented screams of those who could not remember
Now; a whisper from her lips of harvest and sleep
Once the Navigator is revealed
Will you have noticed the seal?
Or did you enter blindly
And didn't even see her leave?

Let me become the other
Who is also myself

Behind layers and layers of ice
Muted and long forgotten
I am leaving this body behind
I am leaving this body to die
Why is it we never notice the distance
Before it's too late?
I am leaving these songs behind
I am leaving our songs to die

Mistook the voices of others
For my inner guide to the stars
I am leaving these dreams behind
I am leaving my dreams to die
I've been the one who listens
Now I'll be the father of wars
I left my body behind
I left myself to die

Given and screaming
As the times have come
When the seed un-plants itself
And the trees have no fathers

Those few golden, undying
Hearts are those of secret sons
And the secrets of the sun
Are those of daughters asking to

In the time before time, I was fighting
The desperation, the grief, and the pain

The weapon of time I was yielding
So the kin wouldn't vanish in vain

I held out my hand, befriended the slave
He gave me hospitality and trust
Blind to the ways of the flickering kind
His reward was my treacherous lust
The soldier bid me welcome, I bowed in awe
I told him the ways of my house
He behеld the son of sense and lust
In thе morning the awareness aroused
Smugly I entered the realm of the king
As a herald of time and of space
We carved the runes, we drank and sang
To mankind, to gods and their grace

The tree set ablaze at the end of my days
Awaiting my deserved death yell
Long forgotten, no one whispers my name
In the mountains and the forests, I'll dwell

Kingdom
The pieces fit
Your eyes can't flux, your heart can't fly

Interference, atoms hum
The order of all
The oldest of dreams
Archaic summations, primeval vibrations
He misses fears
Destruction to the East
In Ether, all laws remain
Formation to the West

Kingdom
The pieces fit
Your eyes can't flux, your heart can't fly
The pieces fit

The fog and the promise
Of a most distant of days
When the panic-stricken Mage
And the drowsy Loner

Taste their words as they mutate
And their worlds implode
And it all made sense
As both sides became
All and Naught
Together and further now
In visions of stone

We carry memories
Of mass disembarkment
From Spirit-ships
Thoughts of the past
The Fall of The Explorer
The Tears of the Seamen
We dream of what is coming
Fading shapes will be rewritten
Endless Light from peaceful sleep
Thoughts of what is to come
The stars who shone when we broke
Will be our beacons
Let us take you over limbic waters
On winds who still speak
The tongues of old blue yonders
Let us be your craft
Sails unfolded outside of time
Beyond the reach of our brethren's demise
We are of the waters
Carrying the Countless Names
Above, below, absorbed and besung
We are of the Eternal Sea
Crossing to wander in shadows
To walk among
Sow
Reconquer
Reconquer
To walk among
Sow
Reconquer
Reconquer

Blinded by greed
Imprisoned by the distance
Thralls to the idol-self
Scream in fear of the end

Gifted sight
Rejected chains
Freedom gained
Endless spin of the wheel
[Bridge]
Esoteric navigation
Through the astral storms
Odin!

The fires of strife lost their colours
When corruption took hold
Claiming the kingmaker's seat
In the maddened court's ruins

Our stories died on their journeys
As the fools all spoke their minds
Buried under rotting leaves
From rootless too-young trees

Thе Tribes of Sense and Earth
Caravans of thе Shadow-Circle

The Warrior turns her back
On the ignoble battle
A sword-arm put to better use
Raising sails towards the Outer Worlds
Odin!

Ifrå heimen han sette i gamal tid
Mot frådande bylgjer i nord
Med augo og hjarta etne av strid
Med von om ei grøderik jord
I løynda han sigla, med volve-brud
I nordluten skulle han ferda
Ei skinande viv i måne-skrud
So skulle ljoset nå verda
Det gnog i mast, det knaka i skott
På reisa over land og flod
Dei knela djupt, både trælar og drott
Då ferdafolk i tunet stod
I myrket, sine trådar volva spann
Dei reiste hallar og hov
Med blod og tårer til sola rann
Leidangen hevda hans lov
Sæmingen stupte og skalden kvad
Om kvelden vart himmelen raud
Nidingen kua seg ned og bad
Yngve-Frøys hovding var daud
Med spjut i hand, i stamnen han stod
Ein konung av gjætord er kjend
Eit heljaga andlet so lyste av ro
I skuggjane framleis han stend

The walls are trembling
As the serpent guards his lair
The madman beholds
Seduction in bloom
Seek out to reconnect
Build the temples with blood

Ominous
Disquiet
Abnormal
Luminous

Let the storms fertilize the fields
Heal the poisoned soil
Invoke the winds of war

(Linger)
Linger in the shadows of the past
(Dance)
Dance in the crimson rain
(Carve)
Carve the runic epitaph

Brought here by sorrow
Raised in depths of fear

Consuming sanity
Feasting on the joy of May

Surrounding the trembling mind
Surrounding the troubled soul
Strength failed to tame the serpent
The offspring of laughter and sadness
Saved by the power of its kin
Obeying the whispering chaos
Pulsating underneath your skin
Fasting 'till the end of time

Denying all peace within
Fearing the freedom it never feels

Bounded by allegiance
To long gone sanity

It lurks deep below

Emerge at the last step

Genome of the secret being
Residing in the Shadow-half
Hidden words of creation
Sought out by the light-bearer

Eternal whispers
Drops from the Gap
An open hand into the Ether
Peeling Downwards in Holy Layers
Finding the sequence there
It opens it all

A divine phrase buried deep
In cosmic ramblings
Cyclic thought patterns
Backwards bent cold logic

Does not matter
If you're Tail or Mouth
All Serpent - Chasing the end
Chasing the beginning

Blood-drawn walls, quantum songs

Ecstatic dual peaj, dead-stare distants
Animal thirst and Shaman sight
War-moon and atom souls
Finding the sequence here
Opening it all
A keep drawn deep within
The Chaotic lines of History

It is not a secre
Being kept from man
It is a poem dwelling
Within thousand-fold screaming choirs
Scaled down and spoken softly
The sequence unfolds
Utilized for will and power
Kept within our hearts and songs

Blinded by greed
Imprisoned by the distance
Thralls to the idol-self
Scream in fear of the end

Gifted sight
Rejected chains
Freedom gained
Endless spin of the wheel

"Dei for ifra nord
Mot ei anna tid
Bak låg brende ord
Framfor dei ei ny strid

Dei såg såg stormar i det fjerne
Men haldt fram og beint
Inn mot jordas kjerne
Frå tidleg mot seint"

I see a darkness overwhelming
I see that there is no light for me
I don’t care if it leaves me blind
I don’t care if I’m left behind

I see a white horse’s head
I see it’s dead stare fixed at me
I do not fear its eyes
Curse myself, return it twice

I see walls to high to climb
I see nothing on the other side
I should have roamed another space
I should have been another place

"Dei daue gror opp av havet og ropar så sårt mot land. Dei ropar bak alle skuter, som kavar seg tungt forbi"

I am among ghosts when I should rest
I cannot tell the worlds apart
I do not heed the words they say
There is no dream of another day

I hear a silence, deafening
Drowning the deserts, that is my destiny
I no longer wish to see
The threads they’ve spun for me.

"Dei for ifra nord
Mot ei anna tid
Bak låg brende ord
Framfor dei ei ny strid

Dei såg såg stormar i det fjerne
Men haldt fram og beint
Inn mot jordas kjerne
Frå tidleg mot seint"

Strokes from oars could be heard,
beautiful ships gushed through the sea
Like a wind from the north,
our ancestors reached the shore
Men from Hordaland, Rogaland and Adger
gathered for battle in common
Proud men with no fear
Strokes from the sword crushed the skull of the christian

A long time we ruled, kings of the north
Many battles we won, at the shores of Midgard
But, betrayed by our own brothers
we were forced down on our knees
Now when the wind once again is howling
the thoughts finally goes towards home
We shall rise in our glory
The white horde will for sure shiver

"We died like men
Therefore we never vanished
Weak is the one the enemy loves
Never betray your origin"

It was me on that road
But you couldn't see me
Too many lights out, but nowhere near here
It was me on that road
Still you couldn't see me
And then flash lights and explosions

Road's end getting nearer
We cover distance, but not together
I am the storm and I am the wonder
And the flashlights, nightmares
And sudden explosions

I don't know what more to ask for
I was given just one wish

It's about you and the sun
A morning run
The story of my maker
What I have and what I ache for
I've got a golden ear
I cut and I spear
But what else is there?
Roads and getting nearer
We cover distance, still not together

If I am the storm, if I am the wonder
Will I have flashlights, nightmares
And sudden explosion?
There's no room where I can go and
You've got secrets too

I don't know what more to ask for
I was given just one wish

I saw a man-shape
Within the bone-dome
Went to ask who ’twas
From the ether-mouth
Was told 'twas myself
In shape of Mannaz
And that it was not quiet
But came through in waves
These waves can only be seen
By the eye-third
From the below
When the above broke

Go stand by the edge
The mouth spoke out
And separate the words
From the noise-stream

So many words I saw
From earth and the other-world
Of the sun, of the Sea
Of the Blood and Seed

Hindsight into the present
The twos of time in harmony
The bear dreaming while
Hunting prey-flesh while dreaming

The sacred knot is tied
The mind-knot will hold
The shadow bound for ever more
Beast and beast, fish and fish

I waded out into the stream
From both sides
The water was space
We were time
We are time
We became again
We are once more
We will be again
