The Ascension
"Power of the Universe had sired a Son 
He was baptized by Fire Water Earth and Sky 
From darkness he rose up in Triumph 
To ascend the Throne of Light 
And He Alone shall forever be known 
As the King of Kings" 

I entered this World born under a sign of Infinite Light 
and here I shall dwell 
I now understand all that I am 
Shall live in Thy command


King of Kings
Voices of Victory 
All Shout and proclaim 
The Kingdom of Glory is mine 
The Raise of the will our prophecy filled 

I'm the lord of the day and the night 
I've nothing to sell but the power of hell 
My Armies of fire awaits 
I'm here to be paid for the pact that was made 
My payment can never be late 

[Chorus:] 
Crack the Earth, Gods of Thunder 
Man and beast will be torn asunder 
Into the Fight I own the right 
To be the King of kings 

My Enemies rise and look to the skies 
They Pray I will never appear 
The Life has no meaning 
Awake they are dreaming 
They live in a castle of fear 

I summon the demons that live in the wind 
As my Chariot drives in the Storm 
With the hot blood of Battle 
I wait in my saddle 
I live and I'll die by the sword 

[Chorus:] 
Crack the Earth, Gods of Thunder 
Man and beast will be torn asunder 
Into the Fight I own the right 
To be the King of kings 

All the days of his live 
He walked without fear 
All who's lives he touched 
Were made better for knowing him 
As he returned goodness with good 
So true is justice and retribution were unfailling 

As my sword is my soul 
Then let all who stand before me know 
I bring a storm and Magic wind 
The Kingdom of the Kings.. 

I summon the demons that live in the wind 
As my Chariot drives in the Storm 
With the hot blood of Battle 
I wait in my saddle 
I live and I'll die by the sword 

[Chorus x3] 

King of kings!!! 
King of kings!!! 

King of... 

Of Kings!


Army of the Dead, Part I
Raise thy weapons on this day 
Ye shall not die alone 

Fight and die let valkyries fly 
For they shall take thee home 

I promise thee that on this night 
Ye shall be by my side 

Asgard's halls await with heroes 
Brothers that have died 

For thee we wait at asgard's gates 
Come join us by our side 

Valhalla waits so choose thy fate 
For all of us must die!


Sleipnir
He is descended from giants. His father loki, 
God of fire, is the sworn blood brother to 
Odin himself. He rides across land, sea and air 
From the land of the living, to the land of 
The dead. This eight legged steed crosses eight 
Points of the compass, from eight directions 
Into eight dimensions. He is bringer of the 
Valiant dead from the battlefield to valhalla! 

Carry we who die in battle 
Over land and sea 
Across the rainbow bridge to valhalla 
Odin's waiting for me 

He was born of giants 
His icy coat is grey 
At night he rides into the world of death 
The living by day 

One day on his back I shall ride 
From the battlefield into the sky 
Borne by valkyries we valiant dead 
Into the hall of heroes shall be led 

Ride down from asgard 
To the battlefield 
Bringer of the valiant dead 
Who died but never yielded 

Carry we who die in battle 
Over land and sea 
Across the rainbow bridge to valhalla 
Odin's waiting for me 

Faster then the fastest horse alive 
The living son of fire rides 
From the halls of across the sky 
To the world of gods and men 

Eight legs and magic runes 
Carved upon his teeth 
Thunder and lightning 
Sound beneath his feet 
On his back the war god odin rides 
Sword and magic spear held high 

Ride down from asgard 
To the battlefield 
Bringer of the valiant dead 
Who died but never yielded 

Carry we who die in battle 
Over land and sea 
Across the rainbow bridge to valhalla 
Odin's waiting for me


Loki God of Fire
The son of giants 
Walks across the sky 
To the gods a friend 
Fathered beast and men 

As a falcon he did fly 
Far across the sky 
To take back the hammer 
Of thor his friend 

He lives between the worlds 
The world of gods and men 

He is the god of fire 
Burning higher 
God of fire 
Into the sky 

The father of a wolf 
And the serpent of the sea 
The ruler of hell 
A giant is he 

To Odin he's a brother 
A brother who is sly 
One who changes shape 
Who walks across the sky 

He lives between the worlds 
The world of gods and men 

He is the god of fire 
Burning higher 
God of fire 
Into the sky 

God of fire 
Burning higher 
God of fire 
Into the sky 

Brother to thor 
And odin god of war 
LokI god of fire 
Reigns for evermore 

The father of a wolf 
And the serpent of the sea 
The ruler of hell 
A giant is he 

To odin he's a brother 
A brother who is sly 
One who changes shape 
Who walks across the sky 
God of fire 

Burning higher 
God of fire 
Into the sky


Blood Brothers
When the world turns you away 
A friend will not say no 
There is strength that we all have 
It's not the strength we show 

And in your darkest hour 
In your darkest nights 
Whatever life will do 
I am here for you 

Think of me wherever you are 
When it seems like you're reaching the end 
Call on me, know in your heart 
On one you can always depend 
I am thy friend 

Though we're far away 
The stars above are the same 
And when you feel alone 
There's one who shares your pain 

A true friend has no price 
There is none to pay 
I remember you stood by me 
I'm with you all the way 

Think of me wherever you are 
When it seems like you're reaching the end 
Call on me, know in your heart 
One who will always defend 
I am thy friend 

Think of me wherever you are 
When it seems like you're reaching the end 
Call on me, know in your heart 
On one you can always depend 
I am thy friend 

Think of me wherever you are 
When it seems like you're reaching the end 
Call on me, know in your heart 
One who will always defend 
I am thy friend


The Blood of Odin
Upon his shoulders perch two ravens, huginn and muninn. They circle the earth by 
Day seeing all, at night they report to him the world's tidings. He wears a golden 
Helmet and a golden ring, at his side sit two wolves. His weapons a magic sword 
And a spear called gungnir, they are carved with runes. His eight legged horse sleipnir 
Carries him over land sea and air, the bringer of the valiant dead, the einherjar, from 
The battlefield across the rainbow bridge to valhalla. 

For a single drink of the enchanted water he paid with one eye, he was granted 
Supreme wisdom. He is the god of poetry, sorcery, and death. Wounded, pierced by 
A spear he hung upside down for nine days. Fasting and agony he made of himself 
A sacrifice to himself. Given no bread nor mead he looked down, and with a loud 
Cry fell screaming from the world tree. In a flash of insight the secret magic of the 
Runes was revealed to him. He took up the runes and mastered them, eighteen powerful 
Charms for protection, success in battle, lovemaking, healing and the power to bring 
Back the dead. 

His sacred blood mixed with black wind and rain wept down from the world tree 
Deep into the earth. He commanded the earth to crack open and to spew forth the 
Strongest of the strong! 

On this day he did bestow unto the world the sons of odin!


The Sons of Odin
Here to the blaze 
I wander 
Through this black night 
I pounder 
The edge of our mighty swords 
Did clash 
Fallen by our axes 
Helmets smash 

Glory and fame 
Blood is our name 
Souls full of thunder 
Hearts of steel 
Killers of men 
Of warriors friend 
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers 
To the end 

One day too 
I may fall 
I will enter Odin's Hall 
I will die sword in hand 
My name and my deeds will 
Scorch the land 

Glory and fame 
Blood is our name 
Soul full of thunder 
Hearts of steel 
Killers of men 
Of warriors friend 
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers 

Sons of the gods today we shall die 
Open Valhalla's door 
Let the battle begin with swords in the wind 
Hail Gods of War 

[Solo] 

Sons of Odin we for 
By the hammer of Thor 
Ride down from the sky 
Another is born 
Another shall fall 
This day bent will die 

(oh) Glory and fame 
(oh) Blood is our name 
(oh) Souls full of thunder 
(oh) Hearts of steel 
(oh) Killers of men 
(oh) Of warriors friend 
(oh) Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers 

(oh) Sons of the gods today we shall die 
(oh) Open Valhalla's door

(oh) Hail Gods of War 

(oh) Let the battle begin with swords in the wind 
(oh) Hail 
(oh) Gods 
(oh) of War!!! 

[Onward into the heart of battle 
Fought the sons of Odin 
Outnumbered many times 
Still - they fought on 
Blood poured forth from their wounds 
Deep into the earth 
Vultures waited for the broken shells 
That once were bodies 
Thus Odin alone would choose the day 
They would enter Valhalla 
And in their hour of need 
He sent forth onto them The Berserker Rage 
Now gods embed 
They grows up from the ground 
Screaming like wild animals 
Such is the gift of absolute power 
No blade or weapon would hurt them 
They killed them and horses alike 
And all who stood before them died that day 
Hail Gods Of War]


Glory Majesty Unity
Deep into the heart of the battle they fought. Covered on 
All sides as all converged on them, until the four could 
No longer be seen. As time passed I feared them lost, then 
Slowly the armies separated, many were dead. I saw the four 
Each down on one knee, all stopped to watch and gaze 
Upon them with a smile of victory before sending them into 
The ground. 

Then they rose together to make a final stand. With their 
Last bit of strength they raised their arms into the air pointing 
Blood stained weapons to the sky. They called upon the god 
Of war and made ready to die. But odin would not call 
Them this day to valhalla, instead he sent thunder and 
Lightning to strike the ground, bestowing upon them the 
One gift every warrior lives in hope of - the berserker rage! 

Now filled with that strength, the power of a thousand 
Men was given them. No longer mortal they were touched 
By the gods. This time when they took up the attack, men fell 
Not by tens, but by hundreds, by thousands. And when the 
Smoke did clear, the four spoke the words and the masses 
Answered the response of the warrior's prayer. 

Gods of war I call you 
My sword is by my side 
I seek a life of honor 
Free from all false pride 

I will crack the whip 
With a bold mighty hail 
Cover me with death 
If I should ever fail 

Glory, majesty, unity 
Hail! Hail! Hail!


Gods of War
Father on bended knee 
I ask thee 
Raise thy hand 
We the sons of Odin 
Await thy command 
Born under the sign 
Of the hammer we stand 
And here we all may die 
Our blood on the ground 
The battle horns sound 
Let thy valkyries fly 

Down from the sky 
Into the fight 
Hearts full of rage 
Full of thunder and glory 
Swords in the wind 
Crossing the sky 
Lords of doom 
Bring an end to their story 

Today is the day 
We die in the fight 
None shall remain 
To pass one more night 
Now Valhalla's calling us 
Immortal 
We are gods of war 
Immortal 
We are gods of war 

Odin here the fallen wait 
To join thee by thy side 
Let Valhalla's gates open wide 
Born under the sign 
Of the hammer they lived 
And here they fought and died 
Their blood on the ground 
The battle horns sound 
Let thy valkyries fly 

Down from the sky 
Into the fight 
Hearts full of rage 
Full of thunder and glory 
Swords in the wind 
Crossing the sky 
Lords of doom 
Bring an end to their story 

Today is the day 
We die in the fight 
None shall remain 
To pass one more night 
Now Valhalla's calling us 
Immortal 
We are gods of war 
Immortal 
We are gods of war 

Down from the sky 
Into the fight 
Hearts full of rage 
Full of thunder and glory 
Swords in the wind 
Crossing the sky 
Lords of doom 
Bring an end to their story


Army of the Dead, Part II
Raise thy weapons on this day 
Ye shall not die alone 

Fight and die let valkyries fly 
For they shall take thee home 

I promise thee that on this night 
Ye shall be by my side 

Asgard's halls await with heroes 
Brothers that have died 

For thee we wait at asgard's gates 
Come join us by our side 

Valhalla waits so choose thy fate 
For all of us must die!


Odin
In the hall of the slain 
Valkyries and heroes attend me 
Ravens and wolves at my side 
Forever they did befriend me 

I paid an eye for a drink of mead 
And was given wisdom supreme 
Granted to me the secrets 
Of magic, of life and death 

Aaah.. Speared hung upside down 
Nine days and nights no food nor mead 
The will to be a sacrifice 
Of myself unto myself 

Wisdom and rhyme 
Sorcery, death living inside me 
Of life and death I am king 
For both do I bring by sword and spear and ring 

Raise thy weapons on this day 
Ye shall not die alone 

Fight and die let valkyries fly 
For they shall take thee home 

I promise thee that on this night 
Ye shall be by my side 

Asgard's halls await with hero's 
Brothers that have died 

For thee we wait at asgard's gates 
Come join us by our side 

Valhalla waits so choose thy fate 
For all of us must die!


Hymn of the Immortal Warriors
A hero was he 
Touching all our lives 
As if he lived and died 
In a single moment 

Great were his deeds 
All his words were true 
He lived and died 
A man of honor 

He paid with his life 
For his life was the price 
To pass the gates immortal 

Thy journey begins 
With sword in the wind 
Stay thy hand rest thy command 
For odin's call was heard above them all 
Thy name shall never die! 

Long shall we remember 
He who walked the road of danger 
Master of revenge 
Death's no stranger 

Blood and death lived on his sword 
The god of war his only lord 
Into the depths of hell 
Go all he fell 

Take thy shield take thy sword 
All thy weapons to the sky 
Ye shall need them when odin bid thee rise 

For none but the brave 
Shall rise up from the grave 
To see the valkyries fly 

And so it was by the hand of odin 
Did the immortal warrior pass through 
The gates of valhalla and into legend. 

Rise brother rise pass valhalla's gates 
Here great warriors await 

Reborn from thy steel 
All thy wounds be healed 

From the earth to the sky 
Now the son of odin rise! 

Take thy place among the kings 
For thy soul shall never die!


Die For Metal (bonus track)
They can't stop us 
Let 'em try 
For Heavy Metal 
We will die! 

Quit my job this morning sad forever 
I would hold my head up high 
Cause I need Metal in my life 
Just like an eagle needs to fly 

So I walked outside into the street 
From a hall I heard thunder and screams 
I walked inside so I could hear 
And the guy beside me gave me a beer 

He had his fist up in the air 
And called me brother said my friends 
Are over there 

They call themselves Immortals 
They're the truest of the true 
And in that very moment 
I was born again like you 

They said hold your head up high 
Raise your fist up in the air 
Play Metal louder than Hell 
Louder than Hell 

They can't stop us 
Let 'em try 
For Heavy Metal 
We will die! 

Brothers stand beside me, there's a battle on 
Know my words are true 
There's a battle for true Metal 
They're marching; they're marching on 
Me and you 

Ten thousand strong are here tonight 
With twenty thousand fist up in the air 
The power of true Metal's calling you 
It's everywhere 

Hold your head up high 
Raise your fist up in the air 
Play Metal louder than Hell 
Louder than Hell 

They can't stop us 
Let 'em try 
For Heavy Metal 
We would die!
