1. The Eye Of OdenUp there on the mountain, above all fire,the fields down there and the ravine belowWhere the elements feast in reckless desireA raven is seatedWhere the sun cannot reach,only teriffic storms prevailIn a thunderin' havoc they ruthlessly roarMy heart it beats the pulse of ancient timesThe countless rythem, the rattling stonesMy weapon cleanse the filth of all bonesTender are the havenswich remain on the open plainsThe shadow crawlsupon the resort of the remnaintsEven toward the hills lie shattered shieldsThe winter it hunts all their hearts in fearAnd the river drifts with the resolution of thunderInfernal are the storms in wich our shelter standTheir strongest grip of fear, and our shelter tearUp there on the mountain, above all fire,the fields down there and the ravine belowHe beholds a kingdom of grace, savage yet fair2. The WinterdayAwakened by the hands of AutumnThe hands which made me sleepWas a shadow vague yet deepA creature, spine of the essenceDrifting in the wind, clad as SinThe force behind my causeThe hands that fold me withinAwakened beneath a restless skyBy mountains which darken the dayShadows, spiritual dust of my fathers- The heart and soul of my way -A creature, spine of the essenceDrifting in the wind, clad as SinThe force behind my causeGrim token of the path withinThe WinterwayLeads us through the coldest nightThe WinterwayTo be walked by all men of mightBehold the ice on the big seasThe summits and the naked treesAshore the bay through the rough Winterway3. Om Hundredeaareralting Glemt4. A Tale Of Pagan TongueThe sun descended to the groundBehind the mountains, in the seaA one-eyed man wanders sullen to the highest hillThere he will survey over those surviving willThe flaming shores are yet unseenIn spite of dawn, the horizon sleepsThe sea gleams with lethal coldWitness yourself here, alone yet boldThe night is born, the christlings thornThe sun seems dead and somehow forlornAnd the moon lurks aboveThe beasts they howl her songTold to be unchained at the day of doomTheir random laws, taught by the GodsAre to be redeemed when He sets sailThere will forever be this ancient toungePrimal wisdom from natures own longueCount the shores of the utter coastAnd fear peace forever mostWhen time is ripe to revive the pastLet us see who stands triumphantThe echoes of cosmic strifeBorne to the one-eyed manBy the ravens of reminiscence5. The Mountains RoveI came from the utter fieldsCarving shame on the tender shieldsOn my path I wandered highAcknowledged beneath the skyThe hate I carried, recalling why!I walked towards the rising AutumnAnd cursed the summerwith the promis of a WinterWhere my foes will quiver in frostA circeling saga, not forever lostI came from the utter fieldsCarving shame on the tender shieldsOn my path I wandered highDeclaring war beneath the skyThe hate I carried, boiling within!I mounted all the hills my eyes could countAnd roved wherever the sun escaped sightI drifted from the deepest tarnTill I saw my saw my name in aruinic signGraven soo deep in the crystal barkOf a lodge I sojourned years agoCrying war beneath the sky6. Grimland DomainThe silence was utter, the sleep was longA torment for even the bravePeals of thunder even did not forsakeThe lifeless soil of this eternal-white landA domain of no mercy - White, so brightAs a day of calm, flawless mightBeware the coming of nightThe shade of essential ingenuityAcknowledge the darkness, link of dawnThe branches hung lowSoftly covered by snowEven the strongest willRecoil beneath their silent chillSee the plains so eternally whiteBright, in spite of even the nightTo be where the eagles flyWith a haughty hunters eyeFeel the kiss of the silver draped frostYour age-old toil, haunted and lostHigh up there, where His ravens once flewThe lightning strikes - even deep in the snow"You have to wake, wipe the ice from your eyes"7. Ascension Of Our Fathers8. The Dawn Of The EndPale like the skull of the sunThe way of the hunting moonO storms that reign supremeThe breeze comes whisperin' soonStrike the flowers' last gleamIn spite of desperate fight, their powerLeave no shores where the torrents streamMountains highest hillsFragments, beheaded formationsThe cosmic rivers curseDenial of all recreationWind, Water, Earth, Fire - Invincible!Autumn-twice, Winter-thriceRiver and RockA new kingdom riseI close my eyes
