Since I was born they have kept me down
They have forced me to conform
I will tear down the holy crown
In a vengeful thunderstorm

I loathe their bloody righteous ways
It feels me with despise
Fuelling flames of violent rage
I will be their world's demise

Asgård'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

Asgård's always been my home
But I'm of different blood
I will overthrow the throne
Deceiver! Deceiver of the Gods

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

Asgård's always been my home
But I'm of different blood
I will overthrow the throne
Deceiver of the Gods

Asgård'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

Heimdal gazes east
A sail has caught his eye
He lifts his hand and sounds the horn
The undead army has arrived

Here comes Nagelfar
With Laufey's son on board
He brings chaos, hate and wrath
He bring the war to end all wars

Heimdal knows his fate
The end of all nine worlds
It's what the vala has foreseen
He knows that everything shall burn

Facing Lopt's deceit
Now they finally meet
The champion and his enemy
On Vigrid's plains they'll find defeat

Their swords meet in a mighty clash
War cries sound, horns they blast
Their eager weapons whip and thrash
This day when all shall end

The lords of war are equal strong
This battle frantic and forlorn
The blades sings a macabre song
This day when all shall end

Heimdal's blade bites burning sharp
As it cuts through flesh and bone
Blood comes cushing from the wound
As Loki's head falls tumbling
Rolling to the burning ground

So he found the heart in barren land
It was beating, still alive
He held it gently in his hand
And looked up to the sky

With evil thoughts of vicious kind
And sinister disdain
His thought of bringing back to life
The witch that died in flames

Serpent's kin
Born of sin
Dark within
Father of the Wolf
Serpent's kin
Born of sin
Dark within
Father of the Wolf

He then devoured Gullveig's heart
And she was born again
They brought to life an evil force
A beast that can't be tamed

With dark deception in his soul
Betrayal of the gods
The bane of Oden now is born
Born of evil blood

Serpent's kin
Born of sin
Dark within
Father of the Wolf
Serpent's kin
Born of sin
Dark within
Father of the Wolf

They brought to life a malicious force
A vile beast that cannot be tamed
Fimbultyr's nemesis now is born
A vile beast that can't be restrained

Dark deception in his soul!
Betrayal of the gods!
Oden's bane is born!
Born of evil blood!

Serpent's kin
Born of sin
Dark within

Serpent's kin
Born of sin
Dark within
Father of the Wolf

Born of sin

I was born of Giant's blood
Raised in Asgård, the home of Gods
I am the master of disguise
For this trait I've gained your prise

Fast in thought, quicker tongue
Brawl with me and you'll get stung
I am the master of deceit
My words bind or set you free

I am the walker on the wind
The shape shifter
Two-faced words and a lying grin
The shape shifter

You call me evil, curse my name
But you only have yourselves to blame
Order needs its anarchy
Balance through calamity

We mixed our blood in olden days
Now I wander like a stray
We were brothers, now enstranged
I will have my sweet revenge

My words are poison to your ears
I say the words you fear
Still you know it is the truth you hear
Ragnarök is drawning near

There you sit in Aegir's hall
Waiting for the coming fall
Council of the now condemned
Twilight of both gods and men

Face the fact; you're old and weak
Empty words are all you speak
No escape, there's no return
The universe shall bleed and burn

I am the eagle in the sky
The shape shifter
Vicious wolf, howling in the night
The shape shifter
I am the walker on the wind
The shape shifter
Two-faced words and a lying grin
The shape shifter

I am the eagle in the sky
The vicious wolf, howling in the night
I am the walker on the wind
Lying words, with an honest grin
The shape shifter

Ouside 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 runing 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 loose
We have run out of time
There is nothing left to choose
Except how we shall die

Open the gates!
Now we attack!
Ride into fate!

Look to my burning eyes
Plead for your worthless life
All remorse I had has died
And all I have is hate inside

You took my soul from me
You took my family
You killed them all ferociously
Now this is what I give to thee

Carved upon your naked back
Blood eagle!
Skinned alive, your ribs are cracked
Blood eagle!
Still alive, you gasp for air
As panic strikes your eyes they stare
Terror grips your dying heart
Blood eagle!

Helpless on the ground
Hands and feet tightly bound
In my eyes no mercy found
My sharp knife starts to carve around

Penetrate your naked skin
Rip flesh and dig within
With a pleased and twisted grin
I spread your lungs like eagle's wings

The burning grief is tormenting me
The hate I feel is destroying me
Only vengeance will give me peace
Only vengeance will set my spirit free

Carved upon your naked back
Blood eagle!
Skinned alive, your ribs will crack
Blood eagle!
Still alive, you gasp for air
As panic strikes your eyes will stare
Slow death grips your tortured heart
Blood eagle!

Blood! Blood eagle!

Sword and spear
Wall of shields
Standing strong
On this their chosen battlefield

Form the lines
Shield by shield
Side by side
We're marching into destiny

March as one
Don't look back
Oden's sons
Attack!

Unleash hell! Do not repend!
Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear
This is no place for fear

Hold the lines! Move as one!
In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Fear will not pierce our hearts
Though swords and arrows will
Victory is our reward
For all the blood we spill

We didn't come to waste our lives
Like pawns in a savage game
Our spirits, spears and shields are linked
In a much stronger chain

March as one
Don't look back
Oden's sons
Attack!

All are one
And one is all
Side by side
The battle calls
All are one
And one is all
Shield by shield
We'll never fall

All are one
And one is all
Side by side
The battle calls
All are one
And one is all
Shield by shield
We'll never fall

Unleash hell! Do not repent!
Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear
This is no place for fear

Charge with force! Break their ranks!
No remorse, curse their flanks!
Pulverize their human wall!
We shall destroy!

Welcome to my humble home
Your soul is mine to keep
There are no walls of rock and stone
Yet no one ever leaves

Those who die of age and plague
Are welcomed in my court
Murderers, miscreants
Will linger here and rot

Those who die inglorious
And those who die in shame
They are all sent to my dark halls
They shall all fear my name

Here hunger is your plate
Here famine is your knife
Here you will forever dwell
I welcome you to Hel

I welcome you to Hel

Now here you are in my cold realm
You are my honoured guest
At the banguette of the dead
Your soul will never rest

Your soul is mine to keep
And you'll never leave

Here sickness is your bed
Here ruin is your fell
Here you will forever dwell
I welcome you to

Here hunger is your plate
Here famine is your knife
Here you will forever dwell
I welcome you to Hel

Racing 'cross the arctic lands
A mounted legion under my command
We're a brutal force no men can withstand
Total havoc is at hand

See the black crows circle high
Waiting for brave men to die
They sense the coming of the tide
When opposition 's swept aside

The fateful message reached us months ago
That our home was under siege
And since that day we've been heading north
Our kindsmen needed our relief

As we near our fortress walls
Black smoke is rising to the sky
Burnt black ruins of our father's halls
And corpses greet tired eyes

What madness lead them to attack
Victory could not be won
They must've known there was no turning back
And now they all are gone
No woman, child or man was spared
Their bodies lying where they fall
Suffering, anguish and despair
As they went through living hell

So now we're on the ride again
And vengeance is our newfound path
We draw our strength from grief and pain
These bastard shall know our endless wrath

See the black crows circle high
Waiting for brave men to die
This is the coming of the tide
When opposition 's swept aside

We are warriors of the North
Notorious and brave
We'd never lost a fight in war
We feared not the grave

The ruler of this northern court
My brother, lord, king
He always had our loyal swords
But we would feel his sting

The ageing king had no descendants
No heir to take his throne
It filled his soul with fear transcendent
That next in line was my first-born

The king's heart grew
Full of dark deception
Full of foul conspiracy
That was when dark days
Had their inception
And we fell to his vile deceit

Robbed of arms, robbed of pride
But he spared our lives
The fear he had of Oden's wrath
Held his vengeful knife

With hearts so cold we left our homes
Banished from our land
A life in shame, a life in grief
Until we rise again

Winters gone, winters pass
Twenty wasted years
We're ageing men, our youth is gone
We will shed no tears

Winters gone and winters pass
Twenty years have gone
Like a dream we fade away
Into oblivion

We are the warriors of the North
Notorious and brave
We're old but strong as before
And we don't fear the grave

From the south an army rises
They ride under cross of gold
From the shades we're called in a time of crisis
To defend the king, now weak and old

As the flames of warfare rage higher
We feel our destiny's embrace
We are ageing men of an old empire
Now we can see Valhalla's gates

We!
March again
First in line
To reach Valhalla's mighty gates

We
March again
March to fight
To reach Valhala's mighty

We
March again
Give our lives
To reach Valhalla's mighty royal gates

Rising up to reek havoc on this land
A beast straight from hell with burning steel in hand
White heat, blinding light as the molten lava flows
Total devastation as the power hammer blows

Burning anvil of steel
Cast by demons that dwell
Burning anvil of steel
Forged in the furnace of hell

Hammered down, a crushing force of weight
Razor sharp feel the metal penetrate
Grinding pain, the spaks that rip and blind
As Armageddon is brought upon mankind

Burning anvil of steel
Cast by demons that dwell
Burning anvil of steel
Forged in the furnace of hell

Burning!
Burning!
Burning anvil of steel!
Burning!
Burning!
Burning anvil of steel!

Burning anvil of steel
Cast by demons that dwell
Burning anvil of steel
Forged in the furnace of hell

In the deep and darkest forest
Night has reached it's final hour
Pagans dance 'round brimstone fires
Lucifer comes to call

Evil rites are getting higher
Spinning fast hands to the sky
Unholy chants around the pyre
Heathens call, "Satan" they cry

Sacrificial rites
From the trees a blood-rain's falling
The end of all mankind
Satan stirs; he's heard their calling

From the underworld
Comes the bear ariding
Demons gather to behold
From the shadows Satan's Rising

Life is just a lottery
No matter how you choose
But that has never bothered me
'cause I was born to lose

It doesn't matter what the cost
You know I won't give in
And I don't care about the odds
Because I play to win

You know I am a gambling man
And I have paid the price
Luck has never graced my hand
When I roll the dice
Snake eyes!

I trust the way I live my life
The choices that I make
To the rolling of the dice
No matter what's at stake

Some will call me fatalist
And some will call me freak
But hidden in my throwing fist
The fortune that I seek

You know I am a gambling man
And I have paid the price
Luck has never graced my hand
When I roll the dice
Snake eyes!

I caught your eye in a New York bar
You were looking down at me
An angel in black measuring in
At just over seven feet

Some fallas like their woman short
Some fellas like 'em round
But me I like the kind of girl
That makes me stand up to go down!

Stand up! To go down!
No man will throw her around
Stand up! To go down!
When we make out I can't reach the ground

We took a cab, you got in the back
But the front seat had to come out
The car shook, the car bounced
As you ground me pound by pound
But back at your place you took the reins
And saddled up, you rode me around
And just as I reached the finish line
You made me stand up to go down!

Stand up! To go down!
No man will throw her around
Stand up! To go down!
When we make out I can't reach the ground

Stand up! To go down!
I'm going down but I'm upward bound
Stand up! To go down!
In a crowd she's easily found
Stand up! To go down!
No man is gonna throw her around
Stand up! To go down!
When we make out I can't reach the ground
