VANIR LYRICS

1. Væringjar

Under banneret fra kejseren i syd
Spydspids, for kejserens trone
Brave mænd, af styrke og mod
Beskyttere, af kejserens krone

For ære og guld, vort sværd drages syd
Hver en mønt, betales med blod
Under banneret, af Konstantinopel
Dannes mænd af frygtløst mod

Stolte krigere fra Konstantinopel
Edsvorne krigere fra nord
Leje svende fra Konstantinopel
Væringer sikrer krone og jord

Stolte krigere fra Konstantinopel
Edsvorne krigere fra nord
Leje svende fra Konstantinopel
Væringer sikrer krone og jord

Væring garden, rygrad og næve
Overlegende, krigere fra nord
Dødbringe våben, I kejserens hænder
Plyndre og hærger for ære og guld

Troskabsed, til Miklagårds trone
Vort våben værget, af fyrster for guld
Et folk af krigere sikre hans trone
Onde mænd, fra det nordiske muld

Stolte krigere fra Konstantinopel
Edsvorne krigere fra nord
Leje svende fra Konstantinopel
Væringer sikrer krone og jord

Stolte krigere fra Konstantinopel
Edsvorne krigere fra nord
Leje svende fra Konstantinopel

2. Svoldir

Blodet flyder fra skibets stavn
Fra hav til iskolde fjorde
Det mørke hav sluger alt
Omfavner vor faldne broder

Skåret fra vølvernes bånd
Synker du mod havets bund
En nordisk konge rejser sig
Fra Ormen hin Lange

Forenet nord skal hugges ud
I kødet fra den norske konge
Deres hovmod skal knækkes brat
Mens flammer omgiver din trone

Nordiske brødre forenes nu
Under vore daner konge
Et samlet nord skal rejse sig
En nordisk hærsker skal komme

Skåret fra vølvernes bånd
Synker du mod havets bund
En nordisk konge rejser sig
Fra Ormen hin Lange

3. The Final Stand

Today we meet our destiny
Where the earth meets the sky
Where all who lives will prosper
And all who don't shall die
Sacrifice of blood and gore
Rewards of coin and flesh
As we join the ranks eiherhers
This our proudest crest

We fight as one tonight
We take our final stand
Where men becomes legends and gods
And God becomes a man

As he lays on the ground eyes fixed at the sky
Flesh wound bleeding from his back
As he bleed out and die
My legacy my home I owe
For my family I long
There is no place for regret.

We fight as one tonight
As we take our final stand
When a man becomes a legend and gods
And God becomes a man

Our banners raised high in the wind
Trembling hands holding the hilts
As the ground beneath us shakes
Courage, honor becomes our will

Every man or woman
Must carve their own destiny
They must take what is rightfully theirs
Then their deeds shall pave the way

If one shall fall
Fighting for what is right
Then a seat will await them
At the table in Odin's hall

We fight as one tonight
As we take our final stand
When a man becomes a legend and gods
And God becomes a man

4. Ironside

Son of Ragnar, Ironside
Fierce and strong, he arrives
Sails set to conquer eastern shores
All will know and fear this heathen Force

Hear my voice roar to the sky
I bow foe no man
Fear the name Ironside
I bow for no man

Faithful blinded
By glory to God
As a an act of faith became
A ritual of death and blood
Keep your axe high
In the air
A grin on your face
Blood in your hair

Shield wall up ready the spear
Have no regret, know no fear
For we are strong steady the course
All will know and fear this heathen force

Hear my voice roar to the sky
I bow foe no man
Fear the name Ironside
I bow for no man

Strength and iron
Will form our lines
Cunning and brutal
We end their lives

Years of war
Made us strong
Impenetrable walls
We proved them wrong

Blinded fouls falls to ground, no one will escape
Open gates unleash hell, their walls will fall and brake
Answer pleas with brutal strength, cut down every man
The Iron King will carve his name, in every foreign land
From the shadow of a seaming death, Hastein will appear
With sword and axe against the cross, they will learn to fear
As warriors storm the streets, and blood paint the stone
In the midst of glory all still lost, he didn't conquer Rome

[Solo]

None shall stop us, as we march
For the glory of Thor
They will know to fear our kind
We seeking blood and gore

Thor will give me all his strength
Like so, many times before
I fear no God, fear no pain
As we march, on to war

Hear my voice roar to the sky
I bow foe no man
Fear the name Ironside
I bow for no man
Faithful blinded
By glory to God
As a christening became
A ritual of death and blood
As Luna fall
Fire consumes
The streets run red
With Christian blood

5. Shield Wall

6. Fejd

Et kongedømme brast
Stormænd i foragt
Nye skikke de har bragt
Et rige under korsets magt

Korset truer den gamle skik
En ny tid vi komme
Haralds drømme ændrede alt
Fra rom til Jelling komme

Hør mig krigere af nordisk jord
Sorte vinger spredes sig
Kvinder og mænd fra stolte nord
Ravnebanneret kalder dig

Hør mig krigere af nordisk jord
Sorte vinger spredes sig
Kvinder og mænd fra stolte nord
Ravnebanneret kalder dig

Under Tveskægs banner står
Et forenet nordisk rige
Et oprør knuser Blåtands magt
Hans søn til evig tid ham tie
Korset truer den gamle skik
En ny tid vi komme
Haralds drømme ændrede alt
Fra rom til Jelling komme

Hør mig krigere af nordisk jord
Sorte vinger spredes sig
Kvinder og mænd fra stolte nord
Ravnebanneret kalder dig

Hør mig krigere af nordisk jord
Sorte vinger spredes sig
Kvinder og mænd fra stolte nord
Ravnebanneret kalder dig

Fra land til sø der spredes død
Fra bondemand til konge
Vi står fast om vores jord
Vor tid er ikke omme

Intet truer Tveskægs magt
Et land under én konge
Fra høje nord til lave fjord
Til ragnarok vil komme

Hør mig krigere af nordisk jord
Sorte vinger spredes sig
Kvinder og mænd fra stolte nord
Ravnebanneret kalder dig

7. Thor - The Powerhead

[originally by Manowar]

Black clouds on the horizon
Great thunder and burning rain
His chariot pounding, I heard the heavens scream his name

I watched as he shouted
To the giants that died that day
He held up his hammer high and called Odin for a sign

Thor the mighty, Thor the brave
Crush the infidels in your way
By your hammer let none be saved
Live to die on that final day
Gods, monsters and men
We'll die together in the end

God of thunder, God of rain
Earth shaker who feels no pain
The powerhead of the universe
Now send your never ending curse

I watched as he shouted
To the giants that died that day
He held up his hammer high and called Odin for a sign

Thor the mighty, Thor the brave
Crush the infidels in your way
By your hammer let none be saved
Live to die on that final day
Gods, monsters and men
We'll die together in the end

Swing your hammer to crack the sky
Lift your cape so that you might fly
Back to Odin and gods on high
And leave this mortal world

Thor the mighty, Thor the brave
Crush the infidels in your way
By your hammer let none be saved
Live to die on that final day
Gods, monsters and men
We'll die together in the end
Odin

8. Bearer of the Word

9. Ulfhednar

Fiery eyes glow, as battle breaks
As the screams of men, who fear and aches

I am the one who seeks death
I am the one who seeks my death

I am born a wolf
I am born a wolf

Blood is spilled, in the name of Odin
We are his wolf skinned warriors
With, wolf pelt and a spear
Spreading death and fear

We are
More beast than man
We live for the kill
We die for the kill

We are
More beast than man
We live for the kill
We die for the kill

I am
A frenzied killer
I am
Berserker
I am
A beast within
I am
Born of wolves

I am
A frenzied killer
I am
Berserker
I am
A beast within
I am
Born of wolves

[Solo]

I am born a wolf
I am born a wolf

We are
More beast than man
We live for the kill
We die for the kill

We are
More beast than man
We live for the kill
We die for the kill

I am
A frenzied killer
I am
Berserker
I am
A beast within
I am
Born of wolves

I am
A frenzied killer
I am
Berserker
I am
A beast within
I am
Born of wolves

10. Einherjer

Rise your swords
Brave men of Odin
This is our
Day to rejoice

We stand tall
Victorious now
Brave men fell
In the fires of war

We will gather
Around the pyre
Voices filled
With fiery hearts

Lift your horns
Drink 'til sunrise
Remember those
Whose flame went out

Hail to all, who bleed for this day
Hail to all who answered the call
Hail to those who died and passed on
Well see you again in Odin's hall

Let us drink
To our kinsmen
Who we stood
Proud amongst

Warriors/Vikings
All brave men
Einherjer skoal
For your bravery

We are the living
Who lives to fight on
We are the swords
That answered the call

A life lost
In midst of battle
A life well lived
In the heart of war

Hail to all, who bleed for this day
Hail to all who answered the call
Hail to those who died and passed on
Well see you again in Odin's hall

We will gather
Around the pyre
Voices filled
With fiery hearts

Lift your horns
Drink 'til sunrise
Remember those
Whose flame went out

Hail to all, who bleed for this day
Hail to all who answered the call
Hail to those who died and passed on
Well see you again in Odin's hall

11. Gravfærd

En verden, underlagt
Vort blod, gøder jorden
En brav konge æt
Erobrede hele norden

Som Vølvers tråd, nu ebber ud
En konges tid, er omme
Hil svend, hans frænders blod
Til Valhalla De komme

Et kongeskib
En skygge bragt
Over Englands trone
Gundhild harald-datters liv
Bragt dom for for Englands krone

Som Vølvers tråd, nu ebber ud
En konges tid, er omme
Hil svend, hans frænders blod
Til Valhalla De komme

En mand af mod og taktisk snu
nordens overherre
Svend tveskæg af haraldblod
Vi skåler til din ære

[Solo]

Som Vølvers tråd, nu ebber ud
En konges tid, er omme
Hil svend, hans frænders blod
Til Valhalla De komme
Som flammerne de tager dig
Afsted til odins rige
En buldren høres over sund
Din hær i agt vil skrige

Som Vølvers tråd, nu ebber ud
En konges tid, er omme
Hil svend, hans frænders blod
Til Valhalla De komme
Som flammerne de tager dig
Afsted til odins rige
En buldren høres over sund
Din hær i agt vil skrige
