Pagan Prophecies
1. Pagan Prophecies
Brothers and sons
Fathers and gods
Creators of time and space
The vision of our people
Who foresaw humanity
Fallen from grace
In the void, a primitive being
Was spawned in the chaos of fire and ice
The antonym elements, forcing existence
Yet struggling towards self demise
From this very beginning
Empires were built
Upon blood and bones of the fallen
In pursuit of structured domination
Towards the ancient
Sunless shores
I traveled through the worshiped skies
To where my fathers strived
To leave monuments of strength and pride
...All in vain
Tyrant demigods still reign with bottomless hunger
A black hole, pressuring upon destruction
As the elements of life and death collide
We are the children of murderer sons
Legacy of the deceitful ones
Like vultures feeding on the dead
Ones death is another's bread
So as foretold
The world grows weary and old
And the tree of life shall fall
As the fire becomes enraged
Turning from servant to God
...Burning the idols of war
Sisters and daughters
Mothers and whores
Defiled by their very own kin
The pagan prophecies
Show us the broken path
Of what might have been
We are the children of murderer sons
Struggling towards self demise
2. Spirit of the North
God of wisdom and triumph in war
The ancient flames burn beneath our soil
The heathen blood boils
Shadows have crept over once sacred lands
The white one that no mortal man comprehends
Pride is lost
His wisdom comes with fallacious pride
Of not only one, but both of your eyes
Set my spirit free before it withers and dies
Let blind sheep choke on their Shepherd lies
Lies!
I carry the flame
To burn in your name
3. Electric Horizon
This is the future to come
Holy empires fall
Chaotic, electric horizon
Where men become the gods
The blood red crescent moon rises
Inbred demons spread
Build upon enemy soil
Gates to Hel stand open
Pigs in your family's blood shall bathe
Feed on your kindness, the Christian faith
Battlefields show no remorse to your God
The one you replaced for the proud heathen blood
Tolerant fools, fed upon lies
You are the ones they're taught to despise
Tainted bloodlines of armies are bred
For war of the gods who already are dead
There is no trust, no faith in my kind
Who welcomes the enemy naive and blind
Misanthropic, hateful mind
Catastrophic humankind
Chemical clouds shall cover the air
Leaving all life in pain and despair
Acid rain falling down from the sky
Cursing the organic life form to die
Fire and smoke will cover the ground
Industrial wastelands of mechanic sound
This is the future, as seen long before
Resources drained in a desperate war
Tainted bloodlines of armies are bred
For war of the gods who already are dead
There is no trust, no faith in my kind
Who welcomes the enemy naive and blind
Misanthropic, hateful mind
Catastrophic humankind
This is the future to come
This is no future at all
Chaotic, electric horizon
Where all men will fall
4. Lesser Sons of Greater Fathers
Trees that grew here once
Have lost their roots
They're gone forever after
The grass, once fair and green
Grows no more in this black and lonely desert
Birds are playing with the dead
Until they're buried in the sand
Death is roaming ground
And reaches for the air
Some still struggle on
Pale and dry
No sun or rain will grace them
The wind will carry them away
Singing songs of fragile life and past existence
Lesser sons of greater fathers
Lesser sons of greater fathers
Lesser sons of greater fathers
Lesser sons of greater fathers
5. Sun Turns Black
Unwanted misfit
Brought to existence, motherless
Grim and fierce rebel
No chains shall ever hold me
Slayer of gods
Slayer of gods
Through my bloodline
Hate is growing strong
Untamed and violent
Revenge be laid upon you!
Slayer of gods
Slayer of gods
Sun turns black
For summers to come
I shall hunt
And swallow the sun
They say that I was born in shame
But soon all worlds shall know my name
Fear me!
Sun turns black
For summers to come
I shall hunt
And swallow the sun
6. Ad Handan
Dim dagar
Myrkad nœtur
Ég man ei lengur hvenœr sólin hvarf
Himinn og jörð renna saman í eitt
Hér stend ég í myrkrinu og bíð hans
Á milli heims og helju
Og hugsanir mínar prá frið
Á milli heims og helju
Að handan
Svört vídd
Leiðin út
Birtist mér í svefni
Sem vegur að handan
Fyrr en grár morgunn
Gekk í garð
Og reif mig úr kviði dauðans
Þar stóð ég í myrkrinu og beið hans
Fjarri ókyrrð og óreiðu heimsins
En hér fá hugsanir mínar engan frið
Og þögnin fœrir ykkur nœr
7. Endalok
Margur hefur maðurinn
Gengið þessa leið
Fyrr en kaldur veturinn
Landið okkar sveið
Sefur líf í myrkrinu
Sígur fold í mar
Horfnar eru minningar
Um allt sem eitt sinn var
