Lyrics:
Death is the Way of the Ancient Times
To die under the watching eye
With honor and pride! With flesh and blood!
Destroy and conquer pleasing the Gods!
Make your way through men and stone
Letting go of the place you once called home
In the End there'll be only one,
one alone!
Hail thee, Mighty! Hold me,
Embrace me!
The cage of this creation
Is soon to be no more
New holy form of life
Is born
Raiding them all, riding them down
Those hopeless fools, burn them to the ground!
He falls in battle yet rises again
With a smile on his face
With a grin on his chin
In the name of God they came they say
In the name of his own he makes them pay
Longing for the place where true Heroes lie
Dying to fight, fighting to die!
Rise to the stars
Rise and dine with the Gods
Across the wastelands, across the sea
In the great halls of Odin one's true home shall be!
Rise to the stars
Tonight you shall drink with the Gods
Across the mountains, across the sky
To the Golden fields of Asgard
The Home of Kings and Might!
Hail thee! Mighty!
Hold me, embrace me!
The cage of this creation
The bars of damnation
Are soon to be forgotten
New holy form of life
From the ashes he rises
Through the flames he rides
Storm of Death, Vengeance in the night
Set for one purpose only
Solid in heart and mind
Weeping sky, oceans raging and boiling!
Thor! Forsake me not!
Hear me!!
Bless me or die!
The waves caress them as it reaches the shore
Torn to pieces but surviving once more
Looking around there's no one alive
Except him, the loner, the fire of a warrior
in his eye!
In the Age of mystic might
In the everlasting sky
when hope is fading away
When no one feels the day
In warm embrace of the stars
In the great white halls of the Gods
Death will set us free
Feel the taste of victory
Rise to the stars
Rise and dine with the Gods
Across the wastelands, across the sea
In the great halls of Odin one's true home shall be!
Rise to the stars
Tonight you shall drink with the Gods
Across the mountains, across the sky
To the Golden fields of Asgard
The Home of Kings and Might!
