Darkness flees the rising sun The village lies ahead It will wake to a new day soon Soon they all be dead We came in cover of moonless night Fifty men at arms Now at first morning light The church bell sounds the alarm Sacrifice to Gods of old Bleed them of their lives Fresh blood on our swords Gods of War arise Sacrifice to Gods of old Bleed them of their lives Fresh blood on our swords Gods of War arise Hear the tortured screams Shattering the air They awake from soothing dreams Into their worst nightmare Fire sweeps their homes They feel the dragon's breath Consuming and destructive flames Agonizing death Some seek shelter in the church A refuge for those with faith But we know how to smoke them out A pyre will be raised But those who choose to stand and fight Will die with dignity For the unfortunate few who survive Waits a life in slavery The day draws to an end The night comes dark and cold We return to our ships With silver, slaves and gold We gave them agony As they fell and die The Gods have granted victory For our sacrifice The day draws to an end The night comes dark and cold We return to our ships With silver, slaves and gold We gave them agony As they fell and die The Gods have granted victory For our sacrifice

Feelin' like it's all over, feelin' like there's no love Feelin' like it's not easy, breathin' life in the dust On a countdown to zero take a ride on the nightmare machine There ain't gonna be heroes, there ain't gonna be anything Here it comes, here comes the night Here it comes, hell in the night Here it comes, here comes the night When we all fall down When we walk into silence, when we shadow the sun When we surrender to violence, then the damage is done Put away that gun I don't wanna be there, I don't wanna be anywhere Here it comes, here comes the night Here it comes, hell in the night Here it comes, here comes the night That's right We're fightin' for the gods of war But what the hell we fightin' for? We're fightin' with the gods of war But I'm a rebel And I ain't gonna fight no more, no way On a countdown to zero, take a ride on the nightmare machine There ain't gonna be heroes, there ain't gonna be anything Here it comes, here comes the night Here it comes, hell in the night Here it comes, here comes the night Don't ya know that's right We're fightin' for the gods of war But what the hell we fightin' for? We're fightin' with the gods of war And I ain't gonna fight no more Stop fightin' for the gods of war (Yeah what the hell we fightin' for?) What in the hell we fightin' for?

As the first light touched the waves And the ravens cawed across the bay A mighty fleet with red white sails Three hundred Viking ships were On their way War! With thirst for blood and all-out war A thirst that's aching through our hearts and bones We're heading west to distant shores To avenge our father and to win the throne They think their God will save their skin But all resistance will be in vain We stare at death with crimson grins With Odin's help we cannot fail We hold our heads up to the sky And know that we will never die As long as we stand side by side As long as we can see the ravens fly! Ravens fly! Ravens fly! War! Heading to Northumbraland Come what may we won't back down When horns of war begin to sound Aella's head will lose its crown Come what may, we hold our heads Up to the sky And know that we will never die As long as Odin's on our side We hold our heads up to the sky And know that we will never die As long as we stand side by side As long as we can see the ravens fly! Ravens fly! Ravens fly! We hold our heads up to the sky And know that we will never die As long as we stand side by side As long as we can see the ravens fly! We hold our heads up to the sky And know that we will never die As long as we stand side by side As long as we can see the ravens fly! Ravens fly! See the ravens fly!

Outside these walls an army awaits But in these halls we feel safe Countless attacks we have repelled They won't turn back, they cannot be quelled Supplies are running low Starvation now awaits Reinforcements will not show The day is much too late Broken and weak, never give in Prospects are bleak, we can't win There is no hope, no time for lament End of the rope, our lives are spent We have held out for months Hoping for relief Our fortress now our tomb And salvation now our grief We have held out for months Waiting for relief Our fortune's now our own This is destiny Supplies are running low Starvation now awaits Reinforcements never showed As the daylight starts to fade There's nothing left to lose We have run out of time There's nothing left to choose Except how we shall die Open the gates, now we attack Ride into fate, no turning back Stand by the king, to glory we ride Weapons and shield, together we die All is lost now, show no fear now All the world shall know our bravery All is lost now, show no fear now Let's charge for death or victory

The blade I swing is black as night Black as my soulless heart It bears the burden of many lives But I don't feel remorse I lent my sword to anyone Willing to pay the price No regrets for what I've done A mercenary's life But there I was on battleground Until I felt the jaws of death cut into my flesh Defending old and weak But I did not retreat Now, here I lie in my own blood And strangers cry for me I'm prepared to meet the gods I wished they'd let me be I don't deserve their sympathy I know who I am My soul is death and misery I am an evil man I rest in my blood Soon I will face the gods Strangers cry for me I wish they'd let me be Show no sympathy Shed no tears for me I know who I am I am an evil man I know who I am I am an evil man I know who I am I am an evil man I know who I am I am an evil man I know who I am I am an evil man

Here's to a life of roaming around Where there's a feast we can be found Travelling far, over sea, over land For glory and fame and a drink in our hand There's no dread in our hearts, no remorse in our soul Pillage the world for silver and gold It's the path we have chosen, the creed of our kind Standing together, leave no one behind Hail the dead and the goat that gives us mead On the roof, she's gnawing Lärad's leaves Fills the vat with a drink that is so sweet Worthy of fame Heidrun is her name This life it is not for everyone The grind of travel can wear you down Our grave may be waiting around the bend But we'll keep fighting to whatever end And when we are done roaming around There is a feast where we will be found To Valhalla, with hearts full of pride A drink in our hand and a girl on our side Hail the dead and the goat that gives us mead On the roof, she's gnawing Lärad's leaves Fills the vat to the brim with a drink so sweet Worthy of fame Heidrun is her name Hail the dead and the goat that gives us mead On the rooftop gnawing Lärad's leaves Fills the vat with a drink that's oh so sweet One and the same Heidrun is her name Over the ocean and over land After all the tours We have earned our seats in Oden's glorious hall Here we sit at the feast A cold drink in our horns Heidrun's the one that gives the mead To the battle worn She stands on Valhalla's roof Filling the vat with the sweetest mead She is one and the same Heidrun is her name Who's the goat? Who's the goat? (Heidrun, Heidrun) Who's the goat? Who's the goat? (Heidrun, Heidrun) Who's the goat? Who's the goat? (Heidrun, Heidrun) Who's the goat? Who's the goat?

Since I was born they have kept me down They have forced me to conform I will tear down Their holy crown in a vengeful thunder storm I loathe their bloody righteous ways It fills me with despise Fuelling flames of violent rage I will be their world's demise Asgard's always been my home But I'm of different blood I will overthrow the throne Deceiver, deceiver of the gods All this rage, and all this hate It burns me deep inside And still it is the only thing keeping me alive Dark ambition within my heart And it's aching to break free The one true nature of my soul The giant lives in me (Kneel) You all shall kneel to me Or death will set you free You all shall kneel to me (Fall) You all shall fall to me Vengeance will be sweet You all shall fall to me Asgard's always been my home But I'm of different blood I will overthrow the throne Deceiver of the gods Asgard's always been my home I'm born of different blood I've come to overthrow the throne Deceiver, deceiver of the gods Deceiver of the gods
