Out here in the barren north Where our town lies Men are used to clash their swords To show off their might Many a village has tried To press claim on our land But all of them met their fate Were crushed by our hand After long conflict their towns Finally we held Taken all possessions now We must search for new wealth Where will we raid for lots of gold? Out on the eastern road Watch our adventure now unfold Out on the eastern road We travel to unknown regions Never seen before We met bands of wild savages All with their own lore They worship different gods and In small huts they live They are primitive people So what can they give? Where will we raid for lots of gold? Out on the eastern road Watch our adventure now unfold Out on the eastern road Where will we raid for lots of gold? Out on the eastern road Watch our adventure now unfold Out on the eastern road Keep an eye out for tales untold Out on the eastern road For all their riches we now hold Out on the eastern road

Darkened woods Tranquil Wolf-sea Flax was spun by a lovely hand Soothing breeze Reassuring As tender hands of maiden clasped For seven winters they were longing For seven winters they had stayed Till the call of the Darkwood Forest Parted them for a different fate Golden ring Was her last gift Before fading into the dusk And this gift He had treasured Hoping she would one day return But the king had heard of this craftsman Sent his riders, both tall and fierce He was seized under waning moonlight And alas they would his ring steal Here I am Once free man Now I'm trapped I will have my revenge Right where I stand Don't expect I'll be kept Till my death 'cause I'll have my revenge This I swear Crashing waves Lonesome Sea-place Forced to work at the king's command Prove his skill At the anvil Where he shows off his finest craft Brightest blade by the king was taken To his daughter he gave the ring And the smith, he was ordered hamstrung To prevent him from escaping None perceived That the blacksmith Had been working long on a plan To escape This horrid island And get his revenge upon the king And as such he had asked the king's sons Come tomorrow, you two alone If you want gold, it shall be given Tell not the maidens or household folk And so the blacksmith watched his plan unfold For no one could now still his vengeance withhold Here I am Once free man Now I'm trapped I will have my revenge Right where I stand Don't expect I'll be kept Till my death 'cause I'll have my revenge This I swear From your sons endless juice will flow I bestow this gift upon thee great king By my craft their bare skulls will last As goblets they will stand within thine great halls For thy wife, gems have I devised So that she will look always in their eyes Teeth thee shall find, perfectly aligned On a golden pin as a gift to thy daughter Mocked with shame she will live to her last days Oh can't you see this was done by your harsh ways? For now you know the agony that I have felt You suffer now as by your hand woe was dealt Heed my words Here I am Once free man Now I'm trapped I will have my revenge Right where I stand Don't expect I'll be kept Till my death 'cause I'll have my revenge This I swear

I got two strong arms Blessings of Babylon Time to carry on and try For sins and false alarms So to America the brave Wise men save Near a tree by a river There's a hole in the ground Where an old man of Aran Goes around and around And his mind is a beacon In the veil of the night For a strange kind of fashion There's a wrong and a right But he'll never, never fight over you I got plans for us Nights in the scullery And days instead of me I only know what to discuss Oh, for anything but light Wise men fighting over you It's not me you see Pieces of valentine And just a song of mine To keep from burning history Seasons of gasoline and gold Wise men fold Near a tree by a river There's a hole in the ground Where an old man of Aran Goes around and around And his mind is a beacon In the veil of the night For a strange kind of fashion There's a wrong and a right But he'll never, never fight over you I got time to kill Sly looks in corridors Without a plan of yours A blackbird sings on bluebird hill Thanks to the calling of the wild Wise men's child Near a tree by a river There's a hole in the ground Where an old man of Aran Goes around and around And his mind is a beacon In the veil of the night For a strange kind of fashion There's a wrong and a right But he'll never, never fight Near a tree by a river There's a hole in the ground Where an old man of Aran Goes around and around And his mind is a beacon In the veil of the night For a strange kind of fashion There's a wrong and a right But he'll never, never fight over you No he'll never, never fight over you

Kut! Waar is mijn bier? Kijk wat ik heb Vers bier in mijn hand Ik kreeg het net van die man Een gulzige blik Stond op mijn gezicht Toen ik net dit glas aannam Wat ik niet wist Hier in het publiek Een moshpit start om mij heen Ik word gebeukt Net had ik nog bier Maar nu heb ik er geen Dus ik zeg Kut! Waar is mijn bier? Kut! Waar is mijn bier? Op naar de bar Het is een heel eind Maar mijn lichaam snakt naar meer Ik kom daar aan Het bier staat al klaar Ik pak het en ga snel weer Nu nog terug Ik zie mijn plek al Maar dan wordt het plots weer ruig Bier uit mijn hand Door een zwiep van haar Van dat headbangend tuig Dus ik zeg Kut! Waar is mijn bier? Kut! Waar is mijn bier? Ik ben het zat Nu wil ik mijn drank Ik vecht mijn weg naar de tap "Luister barman Wees stil en geef mij De drank die ik wil, en rap!" Ik drink mijn bier Bestel nog wat meer Zie twee bier in plaats van een Grijp naar mijn glas Beland op de grond En waar is mijn bier heen? Dus ik zeg Bier! Waar is mijn kut? Bier! Waar is mijn kut? Kut! Waar is mijn bier? Kut! Waar is mijn bier? Hé jij! Geef bier! Geef mij bier!

Four Winds 04:50
Legend of a land far north Wants artefacts so great I cannot forge what you ask of me But I will find a way Ilmarinen, great forger in heavens up high Smiting the mighty anvil with pride He keeps going strong, working deep in the night Until the metal will rise The blacksmith travelled to Pohjola He met the maiden fair A great forge was built in three days straight Great treasures created there A crossbow, golden, claims lives each day Its spirit will impale A metal ship rows from the flames To battle it will sail Cattle, strong, blessed by the sun Ill-tempered, became its end A plow, so fine, but it was flawed It destroyed both seeds and land Ilmarinen, great forger in heavens up high Smiting the mighty anvil with pride He keeps going strong, working deep in the night Until the metal will rise The metal seemed cursed As flames reached out high to the skies You cannot give up now You have to keep trying Just lift up your hammer and smite Ilmarinen, great forger in heavens up high Smiting the mighty anvil with pride He keeps going strong, working deep in the night Until the metal will rise Four winds Four winds Four winds Four winds Four winds are conjured to feed the great flames Angered by lack of success Ilmarinen commands the skies For three days straight the winds blew on Till Sampo was designed Ilmarinen, great forger in heavens up high Smiting the mighty anvil with pride He keeps going strong, working deep in the night Until the metal will rise Ilmarinen, great forger in heavens up high Smiting the mighty anvil with pride He keeps going strong, working deep in the night Until the metal will rise

Blood Eagle 03:35
King Liar You now stand trial You are found guilty of warcrimes By the son of great Ragnar You will pay For your foul act Let's see how long you can hold out With an eagle on your back Spread your wings You will take flight It draws near Hear the crimson bird cry You will soar Into the skies Blood eagle End of your life First we'll cut open your flesh Into your ribs an axe will smash We'll break your bones, make bloodstained wings A suiting end for tyrant kings Your lungs pulled out, right through the wound And you must make no single sound Deep in the cut we'll sprinkle salt Till to the torment you fall Time has come (Blood eagle) For revenge (Blood eagle) Slice by slice your death draws near And soon you will meet your end Crack of bone (Blood eagle) Scream of dread (Blood eagle) Twist of lungs, a final gasp On the floor gushing streams of red Spread your wings You will take flight It draws near Hear the crimson bird cry You will soar Into the skies Blood eagle End of your life What you have done to deserve this Is from my father's blood you sipped Right from my chest my heart was ripped And from my thoughts remorse was stripped My hatred burns forever more I'll have revenge is what I swore I won't be stopped until the floor Is painted by the blood you pour First we'll cut open your flesh Into your ribs an axe will smash We'll break your bones, make bloodstained wings A suiting end for tyrant kings Your lungs pulled out, right through the wound And you must make no single sound Deep in the cut we'll sprinkle salt Till to the torment you fall

Raging war on the battlefield When suddenly a great ache appeared Out in the plains on the dirt did I fall Then great wings brought me here to Sigtyr's halls At the great feast at Glasir The mead of Heidrun is consumed Spend no thought on future battles Drink now while the Glasir blooms One by one my brothers arrive They all appear worn down from the fight We welcome them: 'Grab a bite, rest your feet. Come settle down, have a drink of this mead.' At the great feast at Glasir The mead of Heidrun is consumed Spend no thought on future battles Drink now while the Glasir blooms
