We'll slay and we'll destroy and we'll feel no guilt
Haphazardly we'll do as we do please We will act on instinct, our minds know not compassion Unimpeded by corrupt restraints This is the way it should be And in natural chaos we are free With laws and morals cast away We'll violate, obliterate to fuel our will On impulse act without any regret Survival of the strong will be the only rule Disorder is and will be evolution A time when life is pure And justice is our blades When being is unspoiled And gone are all restraints 03. Deep Into Time
They came from other lands to change our views
They said to worship their god or we would die Eras on I yearn to reveal our ways again To unveil ancient wisdom gained through generations I dig deep into time To bring back ancient ways Before they clawed them down Their reign is failing now Our forefathers resisted all they could To save the traditions olden But they destroyed them and stole our children's minds And now we shall restore forgotten honour and pride Pure blood, unpoisoned water Passed from father to son An age now long since gone Is there time to revert 04. Immortal Wisdom
The winds sweep across the raging skies of our tormented domain
All around I heat the ghostly chants of generations gone can't they the howls of the Old Ones great coming with the storms? Cries of betrayal and destroyed will over ages passed I hear the winds of immortal wisdom sing Nature is yet to breath its last breath They blindly go about their ways, forget what is real A fantasy turned to legacy, a spiral of doom Can't they hear the howls of the Old Ones great coming with the winds? The warnings fall on stubborn minds and on deaf ears 05. Visions Of Elders
Somewhere we lie in a circle of time
Where ages of elders have passed the land by Somewhere we lie in a circle of time Where those ancient mortals will not ever die Taught in the valleys and forests of home Devoted to ways of old Sometime we'll lie in a circle of time Where we are the fathers who told I live by the distant sun of the earth And hills that have branded my name Visions of elders are all that I see Alive on my elders' plains Onward the fyrd's men, together we go Chanting songs of victory We will always live Like the fathers once did dream Guided by that which is known to us all And means all of living to me Somewhere we lie in a circle of time Where reason of old is the key The sun and the moon hold the key To how the ways of life should be Free of ruler, we will see On a journey deep in ancestry 06. Dusk To Dawn
The sky begins to darken gradually
As the sun descends to the horizon Making the trees look grim And the atmosphere feel dormant Chinks of light break the layers of dark As the sun ascends the sky Making the trees look benign And the atmosphere feel awake 07. Ancient Voice
The winds of wisdom lash my face
As I hail this open space Under the burning midday sun I sense the power that makes us one This stretch of land before I see Lies symbolic of history An Angleman, I am of many I am of their spirit, I am of them I hear their ancient voice The storms of knowledge pound the skies As I praise this sight before my eyes Through the mist beyond the sea I see the past that calls to me We are one Heathen son As I stand above your graves We are one Heathen son As I see the world in flames 08. The Ornamented Sword
"The ornamented sword, forged on the anvil,
The razor sharp blade stained with blood, Shears through the boar-crested helmets of the enemy. We shielded our heads in the fight., When soldiers clashed on foot, slashed at boar-crests. And his head was guarded by the gleaming helmet Which was to explore the churning waters, stir their depths; Gold decorated it, and it was hung around with chains As the weapon-smith had wrought it long before, Wondrously shaped it and beset it with boar images, So that afterwards no battle-blade could do it damage" |
