1. Det Nye Riket

Vårt hat skal vinne.
Vår ondskap skal gro.
A feste seg i unge sjeler.

Den siste krig skal vi vinne,
Og de godes blod skal falle som regn.
Deres korte sjeler skal samles.

Vi skal rå de over kaos og evig natt.
Vi skal glemme de kvinnelig vikante mødre,
Og utslette alt.

Et rike skal reiset seg,
I asken av brennte hjem,
Det er kun en herre hersker,
Vi heller deg Satan de sterkes konge.

Din tid er kommet.

[English translation:]

[The New Kingdom]

Our hate shall win
Our evil shall grow
To fix itself in young souls
The final war shall we win
And the blood of the good shall fall as rain
Their short souls shall be gathered together
We shall reign over chaos and everlasting night.
We shall forget the womanly weak small mother
And end all
A kingdom shall raise itself
In the ash of burned homeland
There is only one master ruler
We pay tribute to you Satan the king of the strong
Your time is has come


2. Under Korpens Vinger



3. Over Bieknede Blåner Till Dommedag

Langt om lenge det stormens blest
Slår tidevannets sprekninger
Slår hav på en skatt
Har snart alle skogstjern frosset
Og snøen dekker en fjelltopp

Stripels kriger traust han var
Som satte sitt mot i gammel tid
Vandrer hen til dodoy skar etter sin bane
Storgildt strid

Bleser bleknede blåners land
Overforlatt og dunkel jord
Og bra for fedre som har seiret
Norskehavets skumrings fjord

Reisen gjennom dimmen er grå
For meg er den et skall av forfars liv

Blesne blekne blåner fjell
Inn i en gråvendt natt
Jeg reiser over bleknede blåners fjell
Og her i mørket er jeg forlatt

Snart har snø tynget hver en grend
Snart har kong vinter beseiret jord
Her hvor en gang de gamle falt i marken
For å legge den øde øy
Og gjøre den ren

Over bleknede blåners fjell
Jeg drar i dens dunkle mørkmanns ord
Over land hvor fedres kamp har seiret
Hvor vikingsverd satte tydelig spor

[English translation:]

[Over Fading Blue-Horizon Until Judgement Day]

Long in length the storm's blast wind
Strikes tidewaters' ??
Strikes ocean over a treasure
Has quickly all forest-ponds frozen
And the snow covers a mountaintop
Soldier strong he was
Who sat unafraid in old days
Wanders to death-island chasm after his pure honourable conflict
Faded blue-horizon's land
Deserted and black earth
And good for forefathers who have ruled
The Norwegian ocean's dusk's fjord
The trip through dusk is grey
For me is it a shell of forefathers' lives
Fade blue mountains on the horizon
Into a turned-grey night
Travel over fading blue-horizon's mountains
And here in darkness I am deserted
Quickly has snow oppressed every bough
Quickly has king winter conquered earth
Here where once the old fell in the field in battle
In order to lay the island to waste
And make it clean
Over fading blue-horizon's mountain
T avel in its dark dark-man's word
Over land where forefathers' battle has conquered
Where Viking-sword sat plainly in sight


4. Stien

Svunne tider pajotuns vei
Der over hoye klipper og fjell
Har merket den med stov og aske
Fra dengang alders hirder
Vandret pa disse kanter

Her gandviks bergtroll trampet frem
I ondt og strrt et tussefolge
Hvor ferdafolk fant stor en visdom
Om landets skogsliv og morke sider
Her pa stien som bukter seg uendelig frem
Mellom berg hvor de vanskelig fremdeles
Kan oynes i horisonten

Sa storslatt det ma ha v?rt
Og speide ut over alt dette
Og a vandre sa alene og fri
En hostkveld i en kald og lett take
Slik som mange for meg har opplevd
Og som mange for meg ha verdsatt

Men minner blir glemt av tidens gang
Og lite er her som det engang var
Her som ellers har blader visnet
Men falt ned pa en forfallen jord
Hvor drommer og liv har dodd ut

Men kanskje bak en stien
Eller bak en gammel busk
Sitter fortsatt..... hmm
Og venter?

[English translation:]

Forgotten times on Jotuns path
There over high cliffs and mountains
Has marked it with dust and ashes
From when Alders' herds wandered these grounds.
Here Gandviks Cave trolls stamped forth
In an evil and large goblin-herd
Where rangers found a big wisdom
About the lands forest-life and dark sides
Here on the path who creeps eternally forth
Between banks where they difficult still
Can be seen in the horizon
So great it must have been
To look out over all this
And to wander so alone and free
An autumn evening in cold and light mist
Like many before me have experienced
And many before me have appreciated
But memories are forgotten as time passes by
And little is here that once were
Here like elsewhere leaves have wizened
But fallen down on a collapsed earth
Where dreams and lives have passed away
But maybe between a rock
Or behind an old buch
Sits still...
And waiting

6. For All Tid

Hver en tåre er frosset,
Vår sjel er lenket,
Vårt hat er blodig.

All glede er svunnet,
All latter er forsvunnet,
Alt liv skal ende i død.

I et kalt og øde landskap,
Skal den sorte horde tre frem,
Vår herre skal stige
Opp for all tid, reise sitt rike igjen.

Vår kamp skal belønnes,
Våre nav skal prises,
Våre sinn skal dra den grene,
Og hans kjærlighet skal evig gå tapt.
All moral skal forkastes,
Du vil men du dør av skam.

Nå er tiden kommet,
Ja knus de godes ord,
La oss for alltid bli herskere på denne jord.

[English translation:]

[For All Time]

Every tear is frozen
Our soul is linked
Our hate is bloody
All happiness is gone away
All laughter is gone away
All life shall end in death
In a cold and deserted landscape
Shall the black horde step from
Our lord shall rise
Up for all time, rise his kingdom again
Our struggle shall be rewarded
Our names shall be written
Our minds shall pull the bough
All morality shall be cast away
You want but you die of shame
Now is the time come
Yes break the word of the good
Let us for all time become rulers on this earth


7. Hunnerkongens Sorgsvarte Ferd Over Steppene

Endeløst du kriget på steppene
Nådeløst du herjet i fjellene
Du tok dine seire med storm
Knuste fienden ved din hånd

Oh, Attila!
Gjør meg til din tjener
Oh, Attila
Ta meg til din her

Du levde i mørke
Du vandret i sorg
Du plyndret med stål til hest
En stolt og stridig konge
Som erobret hver en borg
For så å heise fanen til fest

Attila, hunnernes konge
Krigenes herre, vår far
Du hentet din styrke fra mørke
Og på tokt med deg jeg nå drar

[English translation:]

[The King of the Huns' Sorrow Black Journey Over The Steppes]

Endlessly you fought on the steppes
Unmercifuly you ravaged in the montains
You took you victories with storm
Cruched your enemies with your hand
Oh, Attila!
Make me your servant
Oh, Attila!
Take me into your army
You lived in the darkness
You wandered in greif
You plundered with steel on horse
A proud and stubborn king
Which conquered each fortress
To so hoist the banner to feast
Attila, king of the Huns
King of warriors, our father
You gathered your strength from the darkness
And on plundering I now with you go


8. Raabjørn Speiler Draugheims Skodde

Langt... der borte i mørket
Gjennom tretopper der månelys driver
Langt... der borte i all tåke
Inn gjennom min sjel den sorte angst river

På de mosegrodde steiner de seg viser
Når nattemørket har senket seg over
Ekkoene... fra deres grufulle jamring
Endeløst... du kan høre

I horisonten langt vekk
Skimtes den sigende skodde
Horder av ild rider månelyset i flokk
Ved daggry de samles ved en bortgjemt odde

Den iskalde snoen
Har kommet
Denne gang
I evig fokk

[English translation:]

[Raabjorn Reflect Ghost-Ship's Mist]

Long... there away in darkness
Through treetops there moonlight shines
Long... there away in all mist
Inside my soul the black anxiety tears
On the moss-grown stones they show themselves
When night-darkness has fallen
Echoes... from their horror-full moanings
Endless... you can hear
In the horizon far away
Is glimpsed the talking mist
Hordes of fire ride in a flock
By daybreak they gather by a hidden-away headland
The ice-cold snow
Has come
This time
In everlasting snowfall

1. Allegience

Cuddled through a cold womb he was
Pitch black and without sunshine rays
Hell patiently awaiting him on blood spilled soil
A noble grief stirred heart, always ready to die

In sinister systematisation, submission is golden
As an apprentice to violence, slaughter and bloodshed
He was like an object that is being processed
A force-fed destructor ready for abomination

The vast solitude in him witnessed it all
Those self afflicting eyes
And their fear painted faces
Made out of utter discipline, failure unacceptable
Hosts to oblivion
Exploring the darkest of places
Stench of rotten flesh breathing down his neck

Every day seemed like an endless night
When would he ever wake from this void
No other voice than his own will ever tell
What was real and where he had been
What he had done

Did you bleed for the cause
Like the rest of his men
Did you capture the euphoria
How it was like to kill
Such a necromantic force behind it all
They sure did battle till the end

But when came all the glory
And who got spared to carry his body
Just pure death and too profound to be shared
Was it all a fabricated vision in his memory
To serve the wastelands of insanity
At the front

Life forever lost its innocence
Never to see the light of day again
He pondered his last few steps
Into the realms of death
With his hands bloodstained

Courage and consistency
Bravery and valor
Honor and pride
For what was it all worth
[repeat]

[Music by Shagrath/Galder/Mustis]
[Lyrics by Silenoz]


2. Progenies Of The Great Apocalypse

The battle raged on and on
Fuelled by the venom of hatred for man
Consistently, without the eyes to see
By those who revel in sewer equally

We, the prosperity of the future seal
Cloaked by the thunders of the north wind
Born to capture the essence of
The trails of our kind

Zero tolerance must be issued forth
Behind the enemy's line
So it shall be written
And so it shall be done

[repeat 1st and 2nd verse]

Discover and conceive the secret wealth
And pass it unto your breed
Become your own congregation
Measure the sovereignty of it's invigoration

We, who not deny the animal of our nature
We, who yearn to preserve our liberation
We, who face darkness in our hearts with a solemn fire
We, who aspire to the truth and pursue it's strength

Are we not the undisputed prodigy of warfare
Fearing all the mediocrity that they possess
Should we not hunt the bastards down with our might
Reinforce and claim the throne that is rightfully ours

Consider the god we could be without the grace
Once and for all
Diminish the sub principle and leave it's toxic trace
Once and for all

[Music by Mustis]
[Lyrics by Silenoz]


3. Lepers Among Us

Annihilate!
The commotion breeding the perverse
For bloodbath is on your doorstep
A mass impending threat
The perfection of religion
Becoming our death

Do not respond blindly
To growing gardens in decay
Stand guard when visitors fall silent
Blow the candles out, end the road here

No solace will be found
Within elements of the tribe
When covered with filth from all sides
Compassion will fail

Their promises are honored
In a mind controlled state
The absence of reality, reason and logic
Prove failure of faith

Enriched by the presence of it's clarity
Darkness descends, everyone dies

[repeat 3rd and 4th verse]

For wisdom aligns in our favor
Illuminated before our eyes

Uncover!
A new beginning, the inevitable dawn
Justice will be given where justice is due
And guide the righteous ones
Back to the final resting ground
To perceive the truly hellbound

Demonstrate superiority
A grand gesture of liberation need no judge or jury
Demons rate inferiority
Scatter the remains of the prey

[repeat 2nd and 7th verse]

[Music by Galder/Silenoz/Shagrath]
[Lyrics by Silenoz]


4. Vredesbyrd

Reis deg opp
La oss bestride
Den tanke fra vår lend

Og dyrk
På en forbannet jord
En smertens ætt

For så og tynge
De barmhjertiges skjød
Som har tiltro til
Den sjeleløses brød

For den tro du besitter
Er intet annet enn avsmak og hovmod
Og din nøden etter viten
Er en overflod av hån og skjend

Smerten i mitt hjerte er ikke tørste
Etter himmelsk legeme

Ei er det sviktende søken etter englemakt
Det er ilden og den brenner
Det er bare det at du
Skjemmer for den

Ta del i skyldens skygge
Behag din sjel med syndens under
For hvor er vel du
Når lampen slukkes

Men døden kommer ei
Med vårt bud
Gjenklang fra den prektiges arv
Vil innfri det endelige forderv

[repeat 1st, 2nd and 4rd verse]

Bring dom over andre en ditt eget hode
Der du gjemmer din skam i lovsang
Så skal du få smake frukten
Av din egen bortgang

Som en flokk av helveds opphav
Og forvaltere av foraktens sønn
Parerer vi deres list med avskyens prakt
Med beviset på vår tunge byrde
Ligger deres sinn i åndenød
Skamfert tilbake uten makt

[repeat 1st, 2nd and 3rd verse]

[Music by Mustis/Shagrath/Silenoz]
[Lyrics by Silenoz]

[English translation:]

[Burden of Wrath]

Rise up
Let us fight
The thought away from our backs

And seed
On a cursed land
A lineage of pain

Then to burden
The of the merciful
Who believe in
The bread of the soulless

For the faith you posses
Is nothing but disgust and arrogance
And your need for knowledge
Is an abundance of mockery and desecration

The pain in my heart is not thirst
For a heavenly body

Nor is the failing search for angelic power
It is the fire and it burns
It's just that you
Are in its way

Take part in the shadow of guilt
Please your soul with the wonders of sin
For where will you be
When the lamp is extinguished

But death comes not
With our message
Reverberations from the splendid inheritance
Will redeem the eternal corruption

[repeat 1st, 2nd and 4th verse]

Bring judgement over heads other than your own
Where you hide your shame in songs of praise
Then you shall taste the fruit
Of your own passing away

Like a flock of hellspawns
And stewards of the son of despite
We parry their guile with the magnificence of disgust
By the evidence of our heavy burden
Lies their mind drowning
Left dessicated without power

[repeat 1st, 2nd and 3rd verse]


5. For The World To Dictate Our Death

Let us sit by and watch
Death and destruction's devotees revel
Let us sit back and witness
Innocent semen being poured

Into the arms of Armageddon
Let it pour, more and more
Pure fucking Armageddon
Let it pour more and more

Reason faithfully defiles
On bloodstained hands
Where graceful motion
Are lost arts

There are only battles to be lost
In the kingdoms of the blind
For those who seek salvation
In the dust of the earth
Will only find wrath
In the sands of time

Engulfed by the desert
We taste death in the dry heat
T
