lyrics

Fight ye now ye perilous heroes
Bear to battlefield honor and sword
Come ye now ye warriors of Oden
Come now claim your reward
Come now claim your reward

Join all, brethren tonight we will feast
When sun gleams in morn we shall stand
on battlegrounds
Heretic scorn advance to be slain
May arms glide swift that fate them to Hel

The clashing of steel, a wonderous song of echoes
Woes of brotherly deaths I will carry in heart that grants strength to the swing of my blade

(Raise thine sword) Should it be a sight which break our foes aghast
(Take their lives) Hearken to breath that thoust may discern their last

Steady are my hands
Honed is my skill
Battle to die and die to battle

Odes of her beauty, war, she is free
Conquering lands and ravaging seas
If this day be my final, perhaps I would see
That good lady war might smile upon me

The spilling of blood, an alluring painting for eyes to behold
Those who don the cross shall feel the merciless sting of pagan steel

The ground sets masked with bodies by masses
Lain trampled ‘neath forces of followers to a false god
Thor's will runs course as lightning in veins
As I charge forth with haste to face my demise

(Heresy) The gods have forged the path I trod
(Blasphemy) Norse knees shant be bent to the bastard god

Steady are my hands
honed is my skill
battle to die and die to battle

Odes of her beauty, war, she is free
Conquering lands and ravaging seas
If this day be my final, perhaps I would see
That good lady war might smile upon me
Enemies besiege, ‘twas my skill to attract
I shall stand grim on dealt wretched attack
Blood lust is quenched and sight dims to black
Before I cross realms, to her, I will smile back

Cries throughout Midgard, would ye sing of my praise
Whilst body is drawn and put to the flame
As ash grasps with wind and dances in plains
Remember my name, remember my name

[Aaron Solo]

(Valhalla) That I would feast and battle once again
(Glorious) Shall be my death as I will see my end
