A Call For Battle

[Music by Ted Sjulmark; Lyrics by Ted Sjulmark]

Verse 1
I have seen the cruelest of deaths
And I’ve died and come back to life
Slaying my enemies with no remorse
To hear their screams brings a smile to my face
With sword in hand, I fight without fear
Nothing weakens my heart
I hear the trampling of hooves on the ground
I stand prepared for war

Bridge
Of death I am not afraid
To die in battle is my call
To be in the presence of the Allfather

Chorus
As I see the light
Coming from the sky
The axes are cutting deep
Into flesh
My name will live on
I shall drink with the great in Valhall
But as long as there is a call for battle
I shall continue to be victorious

Verse 2
I stand here, on the battlefield
Thousands of foes in sight
Coming to fight us, to destroy our land
My people, my army, outnumbered
But as long as I am alive
Many of them will die
If they try to fight me back
They will walk into a nightmare

Bridge
I’ll slaughter them all
Put them to rest
Make them suffer a horrible fate
They will scream as I cut through their skin
And send them off to the kingdom of death

We’re victorious today, once again
Against all odds we sent them to their deaths
But many wars are yet to be fought, so I rest
Until the day comes when my last battleshout will sound

Chorus
As I see the light
Coming from the sky
The axes are cutting deep
Into flesh
Now I am here
In the hall of fallen warriors
But I can still hear the call for battle
The horn of Heimdall sounding through the sky

Eldvärldens Härskare / Lord Of The Fireworld

[Music by Ted Sjulmark; Lyrics by Ted Sjulmark]

Vers 1
Med sitt svärd av lågor
Är han Jordens baneman
Surt, den svarte stiger vid början på Ragnarök
På sin tron i Muspelheim
Sitter han och väntar
På den dag då elden skall släcka alla liv

Ref
Surt skall slåss i den sista striden
Frej skall han dräpa utan nåd
Med Muspelsönerna bakom sig
När Jordens tid är förbi
Surt skall slåss i den sista striden
Segrande går han ur slagets eld
Då skall slutet firas
Och världarna nio sätts i brand

Vers 2
Av gudar är han fruktad
Han som kan ge död till allt
Jätten som är mäktigast av alla varelser
Hans hem det står i ständig brand
En överjordlig hetta
Bara eld kan överleva i hans Muspelheim

Bridge
Nu är slutet nära
Surt förbereder sig
Att med sitt kära svärd
Bränna allt till aska

Verse 1
With his sword of flames
Is he the bane of Earth
Surt, the black is rising in the beginning of Ragnarök
On his throne in Muspelheim
He sits and waits
On the day the fire shall extinguish all life

Chorus
Surt shall fight in the last battle
Frej shall be killed without mercy
With the sons of Muspel behind him
When the time of Earth is past
Surt shall fight in the last battle
Victorious he goes from the fire of the battle
Then the end shall be celebrated
And the nine worlds are set to fire

Verse 2
By gods he is feared
He who can bring death to all
The giant who is the mightiest of all creatures
His home is on perpetual fire
An unearthly heat
Only fire can survive in his Muspelheim

Bridge
The end is now nigh
Surt is preparing
To with his beloved sword
Burn everything to ashes

Into The Night We Drink

[Music by Ted Sjulmark; Lyrics by Ted Sjulmark]

Verse 1
A feast to praise the glory of
The Allfather and his sons
Mead is served in pints and we sing
Hymns of heroic conquests

Bridge
Telling the tales of our forefathers
Of gods, battles and victory
In a great hall, where songs are to be sung
Merrily dancing upon the tables

Chorus
In the evening cold
We dance, sing and fight
Drinking mead as if Ragnarok
Is closing in
Into the night we drink
We dance, sing and fight
Until the sunrise
It has only begun

Verse 2
The feast goes to an end in the morning
All of us have grown tired
But this hall will be lit up again
And we’ll sing and dance by the fire

Bridge
Telling the tales of our forefathers
Of gods, battles and victory
In a great hall, where songs are to be sung
Merrily dancing upon the tables

Chorus
In the evening cold
We dance, sing and fight
Drinking mead as if Ragnarok
Is closing in
Into the night we drink
We dance, sing and fight
Until the sunrise
It has only begun

Tale Of A Broken Man

[Music by Ted Sjulmark; Lyrics by Ted Sjulmark]

Verse 1
Accused of a crime that he did not commit
The king to him said: “You are not one of us”
They called him a murderer, in exile he was cast
Sent out on his own, to become food for the wolves
And so he wandered alone

Chorus
Many winternights
He has slept under the stars
Darkness is his only friend
And frozen to his soul
Many wintermoons
Hopelessness fills his heart
And his nights are filled with dreams
Of coming home again

Verse 2
Once he was a great warrior
A hero in everyone’s eyes
But then he was framed
Dishonored and shamed
For taking the life
Of another villager
And so he was cast out in the winter cold

Verse 3
But then, after some years, he turned back to his home
Where his wife sat alone in the freezing night
That’s what he thought, as he opened the door
And saw her, with his best friend and his son

Bridge
He could not believe his eyes
They both stood paralyzed
And that’s when he swore to leave forever

Chorus
Many winternights
He has slept under the stars
Darkness still his only friend
And frozen to his soul
His time is almost done
With crushed dreams in his heart
He has wandered to the edge
And fallen into the sea
