01. Njord

Music by Alexander Krull, Thosten Bauer, Mathias Röderer
Lyrics by Liv Kristine Espenæs Krull
The God of Storms will you hear me
The shore is close but I fear it
Njord

The God of Storms will you hear me
The shore is close but I fear it
Njord
I am lost on my course to Gardarike
Caught in a fiery temper

Njord
When you touch the earth
With golden sun rays
Njord
Your white palace embraced in gold
Vanir God, I am Njord
Send me waves
Like silk from the East
Njord
And skin of a maiden's cheeks
Nine wave maidens arise

The ruler of winds will you save me
My hopes are strong but you guide me
I am lost on my course to Gardarike
Caught in a stormy weather

Njord
When you touch the earth
With golden sun rays
Njord
Your white palace embraced in gold
Vanir God, I am Njord
Send me waves
Like silk from the East
Njord
And skin of a maiden's cheeks
Nine wave maidens arise

Storm lay down your sword
Silence your breath
Allay your tempest now
Ægir be aware
Be aware

Sea be calm and clear tonight
Silence your waves
Njord

Njord
When you touch the earth
With golden sun rays
Njord
Your white palace embraced in gold
Vanir God, I am Njord
Send me waves
Like silk from the East
Njord
And skin of a maiden's cheeks
Nine wave maidens arise

Becalm your anger now
Storm lay down your sword
Ægir be aware
Be aware

02. My Destiny

Music by Alexander Krull, Thosten Bauer, Mathias Röderer
Lyrics by Liv Kristine Espenæs Krull
My destiny
I made a promise I couldn't keep
I left my love on northern ground
My destiny
My destiny...

I'm so lost, I am damned
In this grey lonely valley (I'm damned)
Starless night, so vast and so black
My prayers slowly sink to a whisper
I see your smile, but then I see your eyes
Through the mist of tears

I'm falling into the deep
I'm falling
Drowning in memories (my destiny)
I made a promise
A promise
I'm drowning in destiny (my destiny)
My destiny
My destiny...

All my hopes
Fearless pride
Drowned in smoke and ash (and ash)
A color red
Forsaken blood on ice
The evening dance on me
And do you care
Where I sleep
Do you mind my destiny?

I'm falling into the deep
I'm falling
Drowning in memories (my destiny)
I made a promise
A promise
I'm drowning in destiny (my destiny)
My destiny
My destiny...

The color red
Blood on ice
The evening dance on me
Do you care
Where I sleep
Do you mind my destiny?

I'm falling into the deep
I'm falling, falling
Drowning in memories (my destiny)
I made a promise
A promise
I'm drowning in destiny (my destiny)
My destiny
My destiny...

My destiny (it's my destiny)
My destiny (my destiny)
My destiny

Lyrics by Liv Kristine Espenæs Krull
Iathghlas Oileán i mo chroi

Emerald Island

I turn around
I watch her disappearing
My path my life and soul
The ground of all my hopes
Stay with me

Emerald Island

Emerald Island
Can you hear me mourning

Hardly dare I to behold
The shore is turning small
She's fairer than the sun
Lovelier than any crown
Stay with me
Stay with me

04. Take The Devil In Me

Music by Alexander Krull, Thosten Bauer, Mathias Röderer
Lyrics by Liv Kristine Espenæs Krull
I am drifting away
I've counted my last days
Between my lips a silent cry

I swore to the Gods
I will let grace win
The battle of my heart

I cry for angels to save me
Take the devil in me
Save me for I've been mistaken
Save one moment of my life
Take the devil in me

A mind at peace with every spirit
Before I leave I shall forgive

I cry for angels to save me
Take the devil in me
Save me for I've been mistaken
Save one moment of my life
Take the devil in me

My heart stops beating
It makes me see how bright life could have been

I cry for angels to save me
Take the devil in me
Save me for I've been mistaken
Save one moment of my life
Take the devil in me

05. Scarborough Fair

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
He once was a true love of mine

Tell him to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seams nor needle work
Then he'll be a true love of mine

Tell her to find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the salt water and the sea strand
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
He once was a true love of mine

Tell him to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And gather it all in a bunch of heather
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Then he'll be a true love of mine

06. Through Our Veins

Music by Alexander Krull, Thosten Bauer, Mathias Röderer
Lyrics by Liv Kristine Espenæs Krull
When nothing was
No sky no sea
But endless space within and around
No earth no sun no sound
Only silence to be found
Break the silence with your divine breath
Let the blood...

Run through our veins
Do you feel desire to arise
Will you be fire I'll be ice
Into the void we shall unite
Will you be day I will be night
Let the blood run through our veins

In distant times
When nothing flowered
Beneath the sun in soothing rain
No sand no ground no mountain
Only darkness to be found
End the silence with your divine breath
Let the blood...

Run through our veins
Do you feel desire to arise
Will you be fire I'll be ice
Into the void we shall unite
Will you be day I will be night
Let the blood run through our veins

End the silence with your divine breath
Let the blood...

Run through our veins
Do you feel desire to arise
Will you be fire I'll be ice
Into the void we shall unite
Will you be day I will be night
Let the blood run through our veins

07. Irish Rain

Music by Alexander Krull, Thosten Bauer, Mathias Röderer
Lyrics by Liv Kristine Espenæs Krull
Let the rain kiss you
Wash away my pain
A minute to keep silence
Time to think and time to weep

Irish rain
It's the only thing I share with you tonight
Irish rain lullaby

Let the dark embrace you
Like a feather-bed
A moment to seek silence
Time to pray for inner peace

Let the moon enlighten you
Like a midnight star
Is there a heaven great enough
To spread my holy love for you

Irish rain
It's the only thing I share with you tonight
Irish rain lullaby

08. Northbound

Music by Alexander Krull, Thosten Bauer, Mathias Röderer
Lyrics by Liv Kristine Espenæs Krull
I have come by the sea-way home
I'm returning to where I belong
I travelled through countries of foreign belief
I've tasted the wine of the youth
But I am...

Northbound
Each day I am without you
Is like daylight without sun
Each night I rest without you
Is a king without his crown
In her eyes burns a light that will guide my way
Northbound I can only rely on my will to go
North again

There's a silence that comforts my ears
There's a purity streaming out in the wind

Northbound
Each day I am without you
Is like daylight without sun
Each night I rest without you
Is a king without his crown
In her eyes burns a light that will guide my way
Northbound I can only rely on my will to go
North again

I will be home

Northbound
Each day I am without you
Is like daylight without sun
Each night I rest without you
Is a king without his crown
In her eyes burns a light that will guide my way
Northbound I can only rely on my will to go
North again

Northbound
Fortnight since I saw her
Wonders never appear half-heartedly
Fortnight since I touched her
I am home
I am home

09. Ragnarok

Music by Alexander Krull, Thosten Bauer, Mathias Röderer
Lyrics by Liv Kristine Espenæs Krull
Chariots are leaving
I see the leaves falling
Winter and coldness
Freezing the rain

Fimbulvetr
Savage winter
Wolves chasing the sun and the moon

Heimdall blow your horn
Ragnarok will end us all

Gods awaiting the end of the world
The end of all
Ragnarok
The voices of chaos screaming
Through the halls of Åsgård
Gods awaiting the end of the world
The end of all

Life stops breathing
I watch the flowers wither
Tyr fighting in vain
Groaning with pain

Nidhug dragon
Gnawing at the roots of Yggdrasil

Heimdall blow your horn
Loki's army shatters all

Gods awaiting the end of the world
The end of all
Ragnarok
The throes of pain screaming
Through the plains of Vigrid
Gods awaiting the end of the world
The end of all

Downfall of the gods
World serpent raises into the waves
Ragnarok will end us all
Evil calls, crushes all
Last army rides

Wintres worma Þonne won cymeð
Norðan onsendð

Gods awaiting the end of the world
The end of all
Ragnarok
The voices of chaos screaming
Through the halls of Åsgård
Gods awaiting the end of the world
The end of all

Blackness strangles the daybreak
Winter shouting with thunder
Bloodshed, murderers, ruins
Gods and goddesses plunder
The end of everyone and everything

10. Morgenland

Music by Alexander Krull, Thosten Bauer, Mathias Röderer
Lyrics by Liv Kristine Espenæs Krull
La min sjel sveve med din vind
Sveve
Over havet i bølgesang
Seile

Morgenland
Morgenland

Vask meg ren i tåkens slør
Leve
La meg finne mitt morgenland
Leve

Morgenland
Morgenland

La mitt haap sveve i ditt lys
Sveve
Gjennom daler av ordets klang
Synge

Morgenland
Morgenland

11. The Holy Bond

Music by Alexander Krull, Thosten Bauer, Mathias Röderer
Lyrics by Liv Kristine Espenæs Krull
There's a holy bond between us no one can erase
Like silken thread it holds us fast
It's unbreakable

Because there's hope enough to drown my fears
There is faith enough to dry my tears
These memories I cling to
There's a holy bond between me and you
Between me and you

There's a magic bond between us no one can replace
When I call your name I can sense you are here
In my horizon

Because there's hope enough to drown my fears
There is faith enough to dry my tears
These memories I cling to
There's a holy bond between me and you
Between me and you

Dypt i mitt indre har farenes makt, i mitt indre
Bitt seg til rette, en truende pakt

There's a magic bond between us which never can be torn
Like silken thread it holds us fast forever

Because there's hope enough to drown my fears
There is faith enough to dry my tears
These memories I cling to
There's a holy bond between me and you
Between me and you

Dypt i mitt indre, mitt indre, farenes makt

12. Forya's Theme

Music by Alexander Krull, Thosten Bauer, Mathias Röderer
Lyrics by Liv Kristine Espenæs Krull
Frøya
Blue her eyes
Gold of hair
A maiden so fair

Her skin so pure
Splendid and slim
Goddess of love
Brightened and white
Goddess of love
Brightened and white

Eigandi valfalls
Home of the slain
Eigandi valfalls
Home of the slain
Gave her heart to the sun
To the sun

Wandering eyes... of a man
Leaving her... beauty counts
A journey of... no return
To the ends... of the worlds

Tears running across her face
Turning oh so pale
Red teardrops striking the earth
Like stones of gold

Lost in despair
I'm drowning in sorrow
She casts a shadow upon the earth
Showing no fear
Never ending fire
She will haunt across the worlds

Wandering eyes... of a man
Leaving her... beauty counts
A journey of... no return
To the ends... of the worlds

Tears running across her face
Turning oh so pale
Red teardrops striking the earth
Like stones of gold

Frøya
Sore her eyes
Of golden tears
A heart so torn

Aching to find... her sun
Leaving her... tear behind
A journey of... the heart
To the ends... of the worlds

Tears running across her face
Turning bright like pearls
There she found him under a tree
They rose as one

Like the phoenix
Out of the ashes
She casts a shadow upon the earth
Endlessly waiting
His goddess appeared
They rose as one into her halls

13. Landscape Of The Dead

Darkness all around me
The water seems so deep
All is dead and icy
Landscape of the dead

Oh, I long to be called
The master of my mind
I'm falling into timeless fears
What is real?
I am flying through the spaceless void

Darkness all around me
The water seems so deep
All is dead and icy
Landscape of the dead

Send me an angel
I'm scared of the night
Blackness sourrounds me
I hear you sigh

Landscape of the dead
Bothering my head
Just let my soul in peace
I'm not going yet

Darkness all around me
The water seems so deep
All is dead and icy
Landscape of the dead

Loneliness around me
Lurking like a beast
I wish I had a clue
And someone next to me

Darkness all around me
The water seems so deep
All is dead and icy
Landscape of the dead

Dressed like an enemy
It scares me to death
I sense you before me
So heavy on my chest

I'm looking for someone
Searching to something
To touch and feel
I'm hoping that someone
Could offer me something
To give me relief

Darkness all around me
The water seems so deep
All is dead and icy
Landscape of the dead

Loneliness around me
Lurking like a beast
I wish I had a clue
Someone next to me, next to me

14. Les Champs De Lavande

Tu est l'odeur de mes sens
Tu est l'odeur de la passion
Tu est douce et tendre
Tu va remplir mes sens, tu va remplir mon âme

You are the scent of my senses
(Mes sens, mes sens, mes sens)
You are the scent of passion
(Passion)
You are sweet and tender
(Ton odeur à toi, mon amour, mon amour)
You fill my senses, you fill my soul
Oh, my soul, oh, my soul

Des ombres de bleu et de violet
Shades of blue, shades of purple
Des ombres de bleu et de violet
Shades of blue, shades of purple

Les champs de lavande
Ton odeur à toi, mon amour
Est l'odeur de lavande
Est l'odeur de lavande

18. The Battle Of Maldon

Low tide river near Blackwater
Leaving a bridge for us
Three thousand men behind their shields
Warriors of the North
Of the North

I'm not afraid
My weapon is raised
To slay the first man standing in my way
And if I fall, I know where I go

Battle of Maldon

Hear you seafarer this is our ground
Leaving no choice for us
We will defend what we have build
From the warriors of the north
Of the North

I'm not afraid
My weapon is raised
To slay the first man standing in my way
And if I fall, I know where I go

Battle of Maldon

We're not afraid
Our weapons are raised
To slay every man standing in our way
Then if we fall, we know where we go

Battle of Maldon

20. Nine Wave Maidens

Nine wave maidens
Giant beauties
Soundly asleep on Midgard sands

Someone is walking
Hungry eyes gazing
The guard of the sky beholding their pride

Calling the waves
Playing in the shallows
What will they want
A seafarer's heart
Come rain, come shine
The patience's never breaking
Oh how they blind a traveler's heart

Atla, Sindur, Egia, Ulfrun
Never profound
Never alone

Heimdall born was he of mother's nine
Heimdall son is he of sisters nine

Calling the waves
Playing in the shallows
What will they want
A seafarer's heart
Come rain, come shine
The patience's unbreakable
Oh how they blind a traveler's eyes

Calling nine waves
Singing in the shadows
What else do they haunt than a lonely man's heart
