02. Kromlek

Deep within the northernmost swamps

There’s slumbering the stronghold of the trollish hordes

Veiled by fog, gnawn away by the ravages of time

And yet Bonifazius did fail

A sacred circle of granite stone

Shall forsooth be a symbol of eternity

Once raised by the ancestors on this very place

Where since the beginning of time primal forces do pond

Clubs polished, blades sharpened

Soon the clergy scum will be chivied to the KromleK

O’ then they shall hang, a sacrifice in blood

‘cause our troll lord demands his toll tonite

Make haste, siblings! Quick, pony up the horns

Each one shall feast as much as one can

The troll deity’s ritual may not run dry

Thus keep pouring the horns, a second time - skål!

Stronghold KromleK

Trollfont KromleK

Dark and powerful it is towering

where once our tribe lost its innocence,

at the site where wargods dwell

no one would ever negotiate with Jehova

They keep swarming from the south

invading our north

They’ll bring us peace?

We shall slay them all

So take to heart what you’ve learned not long since

At our place one’s doomed if one’s insubordinate

These woods and swamps are marked by our law

and if you’re disobedient the consequence is pain

All that has been is meant to persist

Those ancient monoliths never shall weather

‘cause in our realm in the outermost north

We’ve become our own stronghold within ourselves

03. The Drakkar Approach

Drakkar

From the north coast - heading southwards

Like a greedy wolf pack

Shores

Unsuspecting - approaching longboats

Out of the dim

Stormwhips

Every row pull - urges us nearer

On our brutal journey

Ægir!

Lead our plunder - calm the ocean

Let us take the stormlead

Strandhagg!

Raging pagans – devastation!

Begging monks around us

Assault

Inflammation – false believers

All their prayers grew silent

Odin!

One-eyed warlord - our master

Bless our sacrifice

Norsemen

That we were - that we are

And that we’ll always be

Windlord! Swell our sails! Guide our trails… to fearful shores

Warlord! Bless our blades! Grant us grades… in thy hall up high

Strandhagg is (the) beginning of the end. 

04. Ode to the God of Fire

Fire runs through each vein

Eyes like a desert cyclone

Breath like a sandstorm

Even hotter than Surtur’s throne

Bare on solid rock

Tortured by colubrid venom

The dark sun still flickers

until the chain will break

The bond will burst at the rim of time

Midgard rumbles by ettin wrath

The army of Surt - is standing by

Too late Heimdall blows Gjallarhorn

Blaze god Loke

Spawn of flames

A heart like desert

In a fervour chest

Sea of flames

Blazing host

World’s set alight

From your hand

06. Fist of the Swamp

Mighty god of trolls

Thou who abides on the overgrown throne

Grant us power, grant us bravery

For our crusade against alien spawn

Charmed by fungal magic we rise

Like a rockfall of wrath we slide

out of the northern lands

Wild boars and wolves mounted

Lunar eclipse - world’s decay

Fist of the swamp

we who tasted blood

Fist of the swamp

we who reconquer our ancient realm

A primal sign flickers out of the dim

Blinding Christian fiend’s erroneous views

We who breed in the darkest caverns

We who are called homeless

We who wage war against all

We who fight with claw and fang

“We who bear the true north at heart…”
