lyrics

Procemium/A Viking Belief:
(MMII)

In the midst of the fog wanders the misanthropic spirits of the ancient times
It’s filled of prowess, it’s filled of pride, it’s filled of hate…

A long time ago in Scandinavia there was a Viking belief
About Valhalla – The golden hall in the skies, destiny that all man pleaded
Besieged in Asgard, had five hundred and forty doors,
protected with an unending roof of shields, was the home for a warriors core

Odin – The paramount god, master of Berserks and father of all
Tor – The mighty one, Mjollnir’s owner, killer of giants
Valkyries – Choosers of death, horsewomen armed with Gungnirs
Freyr – God of fertility, the son of Nord – Lord of the seas. (Adage # I)

Then arrived the Ragnarok – The twilight of the gods
A cataclysm that after three winters, left the world absorded to the evil lords
The Muspell bonfires wasted all the creation
Odin and Tor thus died, only their sons survived to extermination

Loky – Naughty and fickle, free from chains at the final battle
Nidhogg – Dragon of Niflheim, men’s devouring, tormentor of Yggdrasil
Jormundgand – The world’s serpent, poison and damn of Midgard
Fenrir – The feral wolf, released from Gleipnir, swallowed the sun(Adage # II)

”Three roots opened three ways below the ash Yggdrasil.
Hel is under the first one, the giants of cold are under the second one
and mankind is under the last.“ – The lay of Grimnir (popular)

”Amongst the forest’s singing trees, ferocious flames lick the funeral pyre.
Their song makes bones freeze, a pale face stares against the moon…

…The golden hall in the skies, in Valhalla Odin and Tor are waiting.
Blood runs red across the sword, before the Armageddon, forever, the Goblins’ song…

Amongst the forest’s singing trees, ferocious flames lick the funeral pyre
blood runs red across the sword, before the Armageddon, forever the Goblins’ song.”
(words of Istar)

A heritage remain, in the northern winds of tragedies
The vagrant spirit of Normand Drakkars, shall forever terrify the seas
Bygone amazement, permanent on folklore and mythology

They fought for pagan prosperity…

(Adage # I/II)
