The bright light of the fire burns my eyes
Like the sting of the thorn once burned
Sweat covers a lacerated and tired body
Emptiness fills a desecrated mind, a soul torn in two...
Like a thousand years, in the cold sleep of death
I return from...Soul Death
A vault of leaves above the tree trunks
This place, so well-known to me
Like the pillared hall of the North
That I once left
Like a thousand years, in the cold sleep of death
I return from...Soul Death
Vague images of dreams
Winding depths, obscure words
The sleep of insanity
As if poisoned once again...
Do you remember my voice, you son of the North...
Once stung by the thorn's tooth
Doomed was the blood, doomed was the soul...
You came to me in the name of the wolf thorn
A dark phantom beyond the light of the fire
Quietly watching in its wolf guise
After his long journey home
The Old One was here once more
Like a thousand years, in the cold sleep of death
I return from...Soul Death
Gazed up into the night
Stricken and driven to the ground
Dazed, filled with bitterness
Could not see clearly
Fumbled among thoughts
My soul pursued
My brother-half compelled
Heard the children of the night
Heard the children of the night... My children
As the rain fell cool
A song of despair echoed
Over a fallen father
Grief soon turned to wrath
Caught in the fire
No way out
Cuts, blows and taunts
They bound a soul, my wolf brother
My wolf brother... Brother in blood
Fallen again
Into billowing seas
The gloom of the mind
Timelessly mocking
Voices of treachery
Resounding incantations
From the mouths of vandals
Excruciating pains
Separated, bound
A vague recollection
Of being lifted up
In faraway gloom
The faint sound of fire
The answers are few
By the beat of the drum
Your mind shall wander
Seek above
Seek below
Seek in the nine worlds
Steer with Reid in the prow
Call upon the Fey
Answers you shall find there
Travel light and fast
For time is running short
The beat of the drum gives you strength...
Following the root of the tree, to the worlds below
Hear me, Fey Creatures of the nine worlds
I seek answers, in the three wells
Beings of Below
Wisdom and counsel I found
Through the nine worlds
From Nifel to Muspel
Reid leads the way...In the web of Urd
Runes shall soon crack
The time of retribution
Following the branch of the tree
To the worlds above
Hear me, Fey Creatures
Of the nine worlds
I seek answers, from Ases and Vanir
Beings of Above
Healing power and counsel I found
Through the nine worlds
From Nifel to Muspel
Reid leads the way...
In the web of Urd
Runes shall soon crack
The time of retribution
Sweeping over the plains of Midgaard
From the worlds above
Gazing over debris, after the atrocities of serpent tongues
Pursued and fallen kindred
Flayed with fire and steel
Places filled with memories
Bloodstained, in ruins
Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
Blood Eagle shall be my name
Runes shall crack
The Shackled One free
When I once again rule
When I am once again whole
Runes…shall crack
Vengeance!
The first snow of winter falls to my hand.
Gazing up at the grey sky.
Many moons have passed.
Long anticipation for the time of ice.
Feeling the breath of the forest.
Breathing filled with ancient power.
The raven calls me to show me the way to the halls of my fate.
A farewell, a promise in blood.
To meet once again when the ice breaks up.
Beginning the journey to the halls of Aegir.
One last look at my resting place.
Down below time stands still.
Up above the depths are black.
In the East you will be bound... by agony.
In the West the gate stands heavy.
In the South you will be blinded.
In the North you will find answers.
Land meets the sea, night meets the day.
Ice meets earth, questions meet answers.
The glow of stars falls on ice, reflects the black surface.
Leaves the snow covered rim of the shore.
Where ocean meets earth, frozen ground.
Beyond the scarred mirror in the distance.
My shackled soul brother calls me.
Over the frozen halls of Aegir.
Leads the path to my being whole...
Nine are the waves, nine are the visions,
nine are the sufferings of the nights,
nine are the pains, nine are the victims,
nine is the number of life.
Dark is the night in spite of the light of stars.
Heavy and tired soul and body.
The wind chases over the ice.
So bitter and cold.
Memories surface, forgotten days.
A pain petrifies my body.
The night is illuminated with a blinding light.
Falling to my knees, the din of voices.
Faces twisted in strange grimaces.
Shapes run past. Dreamlike figures with wings of blood.
Dance across the ground.
Sword song and horn sound.
Tramping of hooves and animal roaring.
Incantations and rune song. Sacrifice and offerings unto Grimnir.
Wolf grin and bear's paw.
The fury of a Berserk. Shadowlike souls with fire turned blue.
The Wolf let loose in the light of the moon...
Sword song and horn sound.
Tramping of hooves and animal roaring.
Incantations and rune song. Sacrifice and offerings unto Grimnir.
Land meets the sea.
Night meets the day. Ice meets earth.
Questions meet answers.
Fragments of answers come into view.
Obscure in their clarity...
Back again to the chill of the night.
Blinded by the images.
A flash of what shall come to pass.
Or ancient memoreis from the depths of the sea.
My thoughts wander, hard to see.
Yet more questions without answers.
Remember our journey in the wind of the night
The time of loneliness after the sting of the thorn
A journey for birth to ourselves
One-Eye's fighter, a proud Ulvhede
Hidden knowledge, the power of runes
Wisdom through sacrifice in the halls of the mountain
Created by dwarves, a labyrinth of death
Knowledge and power in its centre
Enter the depths where time stands still
Hark for the Iron Tooth that etches outrage
Through the brush by the foot of the Skull Mountain
The portal to dwelling depths
Stone cracked by Elivagar
Ways found in the bones of Ymer
A cold breeze, an aroma of death
Slowly rises from below
Chills from memories
In the Underworld...
Once more I descend
Down, down, towards winding depths
Brooding shadows, the embrace of insanity
Down, down, in timeless space
The spirits of the mountain, the power of perdition
Will o' the Wisps flash in the crannies of the mind
Feeble cries from the depths of tunnels
Follow the weak glow of runes
In the Underworld...
Carved in walls cold and grey
Enter a mountain vault
Murmuring waters resound
Shimmering walls of faded colour
Images carved by many a hand
Quench my thirst
Wash my body
Rest in the arms of the chamber
Careful, watchful, the tooth of the thorn
Listen to the song of the mountain
The restful haze of the water
Mellow notes from the deep
The wisdom from the song of Ymer
The pale images of the walls
Clearly blend together
Shimmer turns into bright light
Like the golden rays of Sunna
The speak of the depths
And those who bide there
Speak of the nine ways
And runes for power
In the Underworld...
Glittering eyes in the deep...
Glittering eyes in the dark, like rock-crystal
The rumbling symphony of the mountain wells from its gap
Nails that tear skin burrow down
Uplifted in the flesh
The water of life flows
A shimmer of pain
Shows its face
Beautiful but terrible
The Queen of the mountain
Look into her eyes
The light fills my mind
A swift torrent of images
Veils the world
Blood sputtered stone
Cries of kin
Blood-winged phantoms
Under the eye of the night
Compelled by hunger
Retaliation
Sacrifice for victory
Ulfhednar, the time of the wolf
Nine days, nine nights, in the grip of the nightmare
Nine days, nine nights, a sacrifice for life
Nine days, nine nights, the twisted dance of the Huldra
Nine days, nine nights, a gift from the grave
Venom in a swift flow along the walls
Eyes of serpents glow in the depths
The gaze of betrayal in the gaping hole
A stinking breath from toothless gaps
From the tongues of serpent mouths
Venomous speech...
A thunder awakes my senses
All is once more black
Gone is the tunnel that brought me here
Spirited away into the deep
No way out
Bound and captive
Is this my ending...
Light falls slowly over the cesspools of the desert
Sunna rises slowly in the cold morning
A flame of hope to the power of the Gift Stone
To unfetter heavy shackles
In this night
Faint is the power of my Fylgja
A cold taste of iron
Follows its weak song
That resounds billowing in the wind
Falling down at the stones foot
Glowing runes that bind
In the carved body of the dragon
The blood red trace of the iron tooth
The hateful deeds of vandals, wrath rises again
Body without a soul, soul without a body
Collecting thought and mind
Awaiting the falling of the sun
A cleansing fire in the crystal of the mountain
Under the light of the Northern Star
A son of the earth of the North
Calls the Gods by their names
Call beings of above in six directions
Call beings of below
Spirits of my forefathers, stand by me
Runes from the web of Urd
Ancient vibrating power
Four runes from nine worlds
From the tree in the centre of the world
I call upon Reid for protection
Fire, Air, Water and Earth
Upon Gifu for sacrifice and gift
In the deep of the mountain
Algiz for the power of Fylgjas
The power of the Wolf, my brother-half
Ken the devastating fire
For cleansing and broken bonds
The light of the crystal blinded my sight
A vibrating rumble filled the world
The fire of Surt was stricken from the earth
Glowing runes were scorched out
A rumbling abysmal roar
Ancient power released
The glittering eye of Odin
Delivered from the Wolf Stone
Union of the soul...
The cleansing of souls in fire
Joined together in the web of destiny
The cleansing of souls in fire...
Carried on black wings over the land of Midgaard
With tidings of the day and the falls of serpent tongues
Tooth of wolf and bear's paw, fire and steel, broken promises,
Poisoned land, bloody wings cast their shadow over the ground,
Slowly the hand of Hel closes
Calls bear foot and wolf leg
Sworn together in an oath
Sons and daughters of the North
Sprung from the same soil
Once again assembled for sacrifice
Offering and praise unto Grimner
Let the spear be conquered in the hand of its carrier
Tooth of wolf and bear's paw, fire and steel, broken promises,
Poisoned land, bloody wings cast their shadow over the ground,
Slowly the hand of Hel closes
Victory to those of the lore
For the root of Yggdrasil
Victory to the children of Midgaard
Against the hate of vandals
The hammer falls with a boom
Horns blow a song
Blood Eagle is carved for evil deed
The time of Retaliation
Wolf coats in the rage of the battle
Bloody shields lie broken
Winged serpents, the time of the Blood Eagle
The time of Retaliation
Victory of the hammer, time of the heathen
The time of Retaliation...
Fallen is the serpent, descended into the deep
Fettered in shackles forged by its own hatred
Imps spawned from its venom
On bloody wings fallen
The fire of cleansing flames
Over land and sea...
The rain falls over Midgaard
Venom is rinsed away
Washed holy stones
Cleanses the ground of holy groves
The sun's rays awakens life
In the scarred soil of the heart
The dying embers
Flame up again...
The fire of purification burns over land and sea
In every man and woman's soul, a cleansing fire...
Once again we stand here
at the foot of the tree
Groves and halls
In their splendour of old
Yield and peace
Strong bonds
The band of the Wolf wanders once more, in the silent night...
The fire of purification
Burns over land and sea
In every man and woman's soul, a cleansing fire...

02. From soul death
The bright light of the fire burns my eyes
Like the sting of the thorn once burned
Sweat covers a lacerated and tired body
Emptiness fills a desecrated mind, a soul torn in two...
Like a thousand years, in the cold sleep of death
I return from...Soul Death
A vault of leaves above the tree trunks
This place, so well-known to me

Like a thousand years, in the cold sleep of death

Vague images of dreams

Doomed was the blood, doomed was the soul...

After his long journey home
The Old One was here once more

03. A fallen father
Gazed up into the night
Stricken and driven to the ground
Dazed, filled with bitterness
Could not see clearly
Fumbled among thoughts
My soul pursued
My brother-half compelled
Heard the children of the night
Heard the children of the night... My children
As the rain fell cool
A song of despair echoed
Over a fallen father
Grief soon turned to wrath
Caught in the fire
No way out
Cuts, blows and taunts
They bound a soul, my wolf brother
My wolf brother... Brother in blood
Fallen again
Into billowing seas
The gloom of the mind
Timelessly mocking
Voices of treachery
Resounding incantations
From the mouths of vandals
Excruciating pains
Separated, bound
A vague recollection
Of being lifted up
In faraway gloom
The faint sound of fire
04. The old one speaks
The answers are few
By the beat of the drum
Your mind shall wander
Seek above
Seek below
Seek in the nine worlds
Steer with Reid in the prow
Call upon the Fey
Answers you shall find there
Travel light and fast
For time is running short
The beat of the drum gives you strength...
05. Through the nine worlds
Following the root of the tree, to the worlds below
Hear me, Fey Creatures of the nine worlds
I seek answers, in the three wells
Beings of Below
Wisdom and counsel I found
Through the nine worlds
From Nifel to Muspel
Reid leads the way...In the web of Urd
Runes shall soon crack
The time of retribution
Following the branch of the tree
To the worlds above
Hear me, Fey Creatures
Of the nine worlds
I seek answers, from Ases and Vanir
Beings of Above
Healing power and counsel I found
Through the nine worlds
From Nifel to Muspel
Reid leads the way...
In the web of Urd
Runes shall soon crack
The time of retribution
Sweeping over the plains of Midgaard
From the worlds above
Gazing over debris, after the atrocities of serpent tongues
Pursued and fallen kindred
Flayed with fire and steel
Places filled with memories
Bloodstained, in ruins
Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
Blood Eagle shall be my name
Runes shall crack
The Shackled One free
When I once again rule
When I am once again whole
Runes…shall crack
Vengeance!

The Wolf let loose in the light of the moon...

Night meets the day. Ice meets earth.

07. The wolf brother speaks
Remember our journey in the wind of the night
The time of loneliness after the sting of the thorn
A journey for birth to ourselves
One-Eye's fighter, a proud Ulvhede
Hidden knowledge, the power of runes
Wisdom through sacrifice in the halls of the mountain
Created by dwarves, a labyrinth of death
Knowledge and power in its centre
Enter the depths where time stands still
Hark for the Iron Tooth that etches outrage
08. In the under world
Through the brush by the foot of the Skull Mountain
The portal to dwelling depths
Stone cracked by Elivagar
Ways found in the bones of Ymer
A cold breeze, an aroma of death
Slowly rises from below
Chills from memories
In the Underworld...
Once more I descend
Down, down, towards winding depths
Brooding shadows, the embrace of insanity
Down, down, in timeless space
The spirits of the mountain, the power of perdition
Will o' the Wisps flash in the crannies of the mind
Feeble cries from the depths of tunnels
Follow the weak glow of runes

Carved in walls cold and grey
Enter a mountain vault
Murmuring waters resound
Shimmering walls of faded colour
Images carved by many a hand

Speak of the nine ways
And runes for power
In the Underworld...
Glittering eyes in the deep...
09. Nine days, Nine nights
Glittering eyes in the dark, like rock-crystal
The rumbling symphony of the mountain wells from its gap
Nails that tear skin burrow down
Uplifted in the flesh
The water of life flows
A shimmer of pain
Shows its face
Beautiful but terrible
The Queen of the mountain
Look into her eyes
The light fills my mind
A swift torrent of images
Veils the world
Blood sputtered stone
Cries of kin
Blood-winged phantoms
Under the eye of the night
Compelled by hunger
Retaliation
Sacrifice for victory
Ulfhednar, the time of the wolf
Nine days, nine nights, in the grip of the nightmare
Nine days, nine nights, a sacrifice for life
Nine days, nine nights, the twisted dance of the Huldra
Nine days, nine nights, a gift from the grave
Venom in a swift flow along the walls
Eyes of serpents glow in the depths
The gaze of betrayal in the gaping hole
A stinking breath from toothless gaps
From the tongues of serpent mouths
Venomous speech...
A thunder awakes my senses
All is once more black
Gone is the tunnel that brought me here
Spirited away into the deep
No way out
Bound and captive
Is this my ending...
10. The Wolf Stone
Light falls slowly over the cesspools of the desert
Sunna rises slowly in the cold morning
A flame of hope to the power of the Gift Stone
To unfetter heavy shackles
In this night
Faint is the power of my Fylgja
A cold taste of iron
Follows its weak song
That resounds billowing in the wind
Falling down at the stones foot
Glowing runes that bind
In the carved body of the dragon
The blood red trace of the iron tooth
The hateful deeds of vandals, wrath rises again
Body without a soul, soul without a body
Collecting thought and mind
Awaiting the falling of the sun
A cleansing fire in the crystal of the mountain
Under the light of the Northern Star
A son of the earth of the North
Calls the Gods by their names
Call beings of above in six directions
Call beings of below
Spirits of my forefathers, stand by me
Runes from the web of Urd
Ancient vibrating power
Four runes from nine worlds
From the tree in the centre of the world
I call upon Reid for protection
Fire, Air, Water and Earth
Upon Gifu for sacrifice and gift
In the deep of the mountain
Algiz for the power of Fylgjas
The power of the Wolf, my brother-half
Ken the devastating fire
For cleansing and broken bonds
The light of the crystal blinded my sight
A vibrating rumble filled the world
The fire of Surt was stricken from the earth
Glowing runes were scorched out
A rumbling abysmal roar
Ancient power released
The glittering eye of Odin
Delivered from the Wolf Stone
Union of the soul...
The cleansing of souls in fire
Joined together in the web of destiny
The cleansing of souls in fire...
11. Time of retaliation
Carried on black wings over the land of Midgaard
With tidings of the day and the falls of serpent tongues
Tooth of wolf and bear's paw, fire and steel, broken promises,
Poisoned land, bloody wings cast their shadow over the ground,
Slowly the hand of Hel closes
Calls bear foot and wolf leg
Sworn together in an oath
Sons and daughters of the North
Sprung from the same soil
Once again assembled for sacrifice
Offering and praise unto Grimner
Let the spear be conquered in the hand of its carrier
Tooth of wolf and bear's paw, fire and steel, broken promises,
Poisoned land, bloody wings cast their shadow over the ground,
Slowly the hand of Hel closes
Victory to those of the lore
For the root of Yggdrasil
Victory to the children of Midgaard
Against the hate of vandals
The hammer falls with a boom
Horns blow a song
Blood Eagle is carved for evil deed
The time of Retaliation
Wolf coats in the rage of the battle
Bloody shields lie broken
Winged serpents, the time of the Blood Eagle
The time of Retaliation
Victory of the hammer, time of the heathen
The time of Retaliation...
12. Fire
Fallen is the serpent, descended into the deep
Fettered in shackles forged by its own hatred
Imps spawned from its venom
On bloody wings fallen
The fire of cleansing flames
Over land and sea...
The rain falls over Midgaard
Venom is rinsed away
Washed holy stones
Cleanses the ground of holy groves
The sun's rays awakens life
In the scarred soil of the heart
The dying embers
Flame up again...
The fire of purification burns over land and sea
In every man and woman's soul, a cleansing fire...
Once again we stand here
at the foot of the tree
Groves and halls
In their splendour of old
Yield and peace
Strong bonds
The band of the Wolf wanders once more, in the silent night...
The fire of purification
Burns over land and sea
In every man and woman's soul, a cleansing fire...
