2. The Ascencion
Powers of the universe did sire 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 enter 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!
3. King Of Kings
Voices of victory all shout and proclaim
The kingdom of glory is mine
The rays of the will are a 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 await
I'm here to be paid for the pact that was made
My payment can never be late
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
Their 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
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 life he walked without fear.
All whose lives he touched were made better for
Knowing him. As he returned goodness with good,
So too his justice and retribution were unfailing.
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 [narration]
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 the saddle, I live and i'll die by the sword
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
4. 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!
5. 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
6. 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
7. 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
8. Overture To Odin
(инструментал)
9. 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!
10. The Sons Of Odin
Near to the blaze I wander
Through this black night I ponder
The edge of our mighty swords did clash
Fallen by our axes helmets smashed
Glory and fame blood is our name
Souls full of thunder hearts of steel
Killers of men a warrior's 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
Souls full of thunder hearts of steel
Killers of men a warrior's 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!
Sons of odin we four
By the hammer of thor
Ride down from the sky
Another is born another shall fall
This day men will die
Glory and fame blood is our name
Souls full of thunder hearts of steel
Killers of men a warrior's 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!
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!
Let the battle begin
With swords in the wind
Hail gods of war!
Onward into the heart of the 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. But odin
Alone would choose the day they would enter
Valhalla, and in their hour of need
He sent forth unto them the berserker rage!
Now gods and men they rose up from the ground
Screaming like wild animals,
Such is the gift of absolute power! No blade or
Weapon could harm them; they killed men and
Horses alike, and all who stood before them
Died that day!
Hail gods of war!
11. 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!
12. 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
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 waits
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

Full of thunder and glory
Swords in the wind
Crossing the sky
Lords of doom
Bring an end to their story
13. 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

14. 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!
15. 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!
16. Die For Metal
(бонус)
They can't stop us
Let 'em try
For heavy metal
We will die!
Quit my job this morning said 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 would 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 fists 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!
