Power of the Warlock
[Lyrics by Xavier Boonen]
[Music by Valgard]

Bringer of death is my name
I wield shadow and flame
Compassion and mercy I do feel
With a heart of stone and a soul of steel

My lust for power is unknown
I turn my enemies to stone
With my magic I tap they're life force
For my evil and corruption, I feel no remorse

Brainwashed minions I control
I will steal your soul
The oath I sworn on the black rock 
Gave me the power of the warlock

I am in league with the gods of darkness
The power at my fingers is limitless
With the lords of the underworld I have a pact
My soul for their aid in my demonic act

The ancient wisdom I have written and told
My touch is like a disease and deadly cold
On the bones of my enemies I'll raise my throne
And reign over this realm, hard and alone

Brainwashed minions I control
I will steal your soul
The oath I sworn on the black rock 
Gave me the power of the warlock

Before the Battle
[Lyrics by Boonen Xavier]
[Music by Valgard]

The sun rises on this ice cold morning
Clouds fill the sky with darkness
Battle cries are forging
Our troops are marching relentless

We are ready to meet our foe on field
The Irish warriors have gathered
They are not about to yield
But with our weapons they'll be battered

Raise your war-cry
we are the dogs of war
this is where they die
and Odin will call for more

we face them against all odds
he who runs, runs not only away from honor
but he runs from the gods
From the hall of the Einherjar

I am the one to lead
The devastating attack
The first one to bleed
The enemy's bones will crack

I raise my spear
The fury is born
Our purpose is clear
And I blow the battle horn

Raise your war-cry
we are the dogs of war
this is where they die
and Odin will call for more

Beowulf
[Lyrics by Xavier Boonen]
[Music by Valgard]

A great warrior from the north
His ship faces wind and rains
Butt they must sail forth
To aid the king of the Deans

Thor protects us all
Yet he can not save the souls in this hall
Trolls are hard to kill
And only Beowulf has the strength and will

The deans sleep with slaughter
For a creature creeps out of his hole
Yet he spares son and daughter
Only brave men will feed the troll

Thor protects us all
Yet he can not save the souls in this hall
Trolls are hard to kill
And only Beowulf has the strength and will

When I have him in my grip
I hear the muscle and bone rip

He dies and his mother is furious
But her vengeance does not last long
For Beowulf is victorious
His Pagan blood makes him strong

Thor protects us all
Yet he can not save the souls in this hall
Trolls are hard to kill
And only Beowulf has the strength and will

Blinded By The Sun
[Music by Valgard]
[Lyrics by Xavier Boonen]

I am vengeance
I am your worst nightmare
the dreadful justice
that comes your way

the avenger of the innocent
anger in its rurest form
I will take your sawaty
and turn it into pain

I rule in your mind with the power of the sun
blinding you with fear, I've only just begon
Time has come to pay for your evil crimes
I'll torture you untill the end of times

Time to die, no need to cry
it's to late, you sealed your fate
the reaper has come
you've been blinded by the sun

I'm the spirit in your head
I will never rest again
showing visions of pain
to remind you of your sins

I'm the shadow in your dreams
I took part in all your screams
I will haunt you forever
until you take your own life

I rule in your mind with the power of the sun
blinding you with fear, I've only just begun
Time has come to pay for your evil crimes
I'll torture you untill the end of times

Time to die, no need to cry
it's to late, you sealed your fate
the reaper has come
you've been blinded by the sun

The bullet blasts through your head
will you find peace with the dead
you await the final judgement
salvation or eternal torment
the reaper smiles at the gates
you know what you awaits

Elements
[Music by Valgard]
[Lyrics by Xavier Boonen]

Storm, wind and thunder
From the sky you will fall
Earth, water, fire
Hear your masters call

I call thee to my aid
Bring death and demise
give these demons their fate
From my spirit you will rise

Brave men at my side
Will cleave their forces wide
To the battleground we ride
Setting the sky alight

Lightning crashes down
The earth begins to shake
The wizards of the crown
And the shamans of the lake

The fight is almost done
The elements and black magic
To the mighty they will come
For the enemy, the fight ends tragic

My warrior queen
[Music by Valgard]
[Lyrics by Xavier Boonen]

I soar trough the sky
For it was my time to die
Now the valkyries carry me
For a einherjar I Will be
Across the rainbow bridge we ride
Walhalla's gates are open wide
Yet I feel a grief when I enter the door
For I will see my loved one no more

A warrior queen she was to me
We knew that in battle we'd fall
But death only came to me
Now I sit alone in Odin's hall

Our love was forged in the heat of battle
We fought with hearts of metal
She stood beside me on the battle field
 Together we would never yield
But overrun by the enemy's men
I knew I would not see her again
for death, I have no shame
and when I died, I screamed her name

A warrior queen she was to me
We knew that in battle we'd fall
But death only came to me
Now I sit alone in Odin's hall

Now I am living all warriors dreams
Nothing to me it means
For I am overcome with sadness
My mind is playing with madness
And of all the valkyries I have seen
Will never match the beauty of my queen
To be with her she has to die
And come to the palace high in the sky

A warrior queen she was to me
We knew that in battle we'd fall
But death only came to me
Now I sit alone in Odin's hall

Final stand
[Lyrics by Xavier Boonen]
[Music by Valgard]

A desperate situation
Surrounded and outnumbered
Our backs against the rock face
And the christian hounds close in

We prepare to defend
Shield against shield
Our hearts beat with rage
We will not be made slaves

We will die before we surrender
Because this is our final stand
We die for our gods of war
Because our deaths are close at hand

The soldiers clash against my men
Their first line is crushed in the impact
They try to push forward
But my brothers keep them back

The outer ring defends with shield and spear
Piecing the unbeliever's flesh
From the centre the archers shoot with fire
But the arrows are running low

We will die before we surrender
Because this is our final stand
We die for our gods of war
Because our death's are close at hand

The enemy breaks trough our lines
I lead the final attack
My sword cleaves many skulls
We will not die without taking some of them with us

An axe rips through my chest
As my comrades die at my side
I fall to the ground
Tonight I will feast in Odin's hall

By Odin's name
[Music by Valgard]
[Lyrics by Xavier Boonen]

I am the allfather
Wisest of all
Supreme god of Asgard
Those who deny me will fall

Honor me and I will offer victory
Call to me for the berserker's rage
Sacrifice to me to gain my favor
Pray to me for a glories death

'By Odin's name'
Let us find our way home'
'Bring us victory'
God of War'
'Allfather'
Greet me at Walhalla's door'

At Mimir's well of wisdom
I gave my eye for a drink
I pierced myself to Yggdrasil
For the runes are mine to take

I know all that is or is to be
My ravens tell me all they see
In Walhalla my throne stands high
I greet those, who with honor died.

'By Odin's name'
Let us find our way home'
'God of war'
Bring us victory'
'Allfather'
Greet me at Walhalla's door'

God of Thunder
[Music by Valgard]
[Lyrics by Xavier Boonen]

From Asgard he rides
In his rumbling chariot
Pulled by two fearsome goats
Lightning leads the way

With the might of his father
The great Odin
He is the strongest of the gods
Walhalla is his home

Hail
Mighty son of the Allfather
Hail Thor
With mjolnir in hand
Lightning rains from the sky
God of Thunder

When stormclouds gather
The ice giants tremble with fear
They know that he rides
To bring death to Jotunheim

When our people are in danger
We call to him
Help us in battle
Help defend us God of Thunder

Hail
Mighty son of the Allfather
Hail Thor
With mjolnir in hand
Lightning rains from the sky
God of Thunder

And when Ragnarök comes
He will fight at his father's side
Jurmungand will poison him with his venom
But not before mjolnir crushes the midgardsnake

Offerings at Uppsala
[Music by Valgard]
[Lyrics by Xavier Boonen]

It's been nine years since the last gathering,
The Midwinter feast is at hand and the praise of Odin will begin.
The great warlords and warriors come from far and wide to Uppsala, and they have brought their gifts to Odin.
99 christian slaves: Celts, Franks and Romans, al will die tonight.
To sacrifice to the mighty God of War,

They're skulls will pave the path of Sleipner,
mighty steed of the gods.
As Odin makes his decent to Midgard,
to witness the slaughter in his name.

Some meet the end on a spear, to bleed on a stake.
They pray to their god, but he will not help them.
In our holly orchard we hang the the priests.
They call themselves martyrs, but we call them fools.
We pagans kneel to no one. To honor our gods,
we will sacrifice your worthless lives.

They're skulls will pave the path of Sleipner,
mighty steed of the gods.
As Odin makes his decent to Midgard,
to witness the slaughter in his name.

Reapers call
[Music by Valgard]
[Lyrics by Wouter Baens]

Condemned I stand before thee.
Hangman awaits.
I see the reaper smiling,
Down at the gates.

Time will slowly pass you.
But you've been told.
That death will always find you.
You won't get old.

But I won't burn forever.
My final sigh,
Shall be on your last nightfall.
When you will die.

Now you see daylight fading.
And see darkness fall.
You'll know I'm right beside you.
The reapers call.

But I won't burn forever.
My final sigh,
Shall be on your last nightfall.
When you will die.

Hear the reapers call'.
Hear the reapers call'.
Hear the reapers call'.

I have sworn revenge
[Music by Valgard]
[Lyrics by Xavier Boonen]

I have been away for six years
On a campaign with my brothers
I came back for my family
But found only pain

My home village burnt to dust
My kinsmen slaughtered
I see crosses in the distance
My heart skips a beat

I find my family upon those crosses
A shooting fear and pain releases
It turns into anger
I will make the ones who did this pay

I move in the mist
Like a shadow of hate
I have sworn revenge
And with vengeance I slay

A survivor tells me of an army
 Christians on a mission to convert us
Those who would not be baptized
Met their end on a cross

I gather my brothers in arms
We start the hunt
We catch up quickly in the night
None of them will see the daylight

I move in the mist
Like a shadow of hate
I have sworn revenge
And with vengeance I slay

They're skulls crack under the hooves
My spear runs trough their flesh
We capture the survivors
They will wish for death before the end

Some are hanged, some decapitated
 Others will bleed slowly to death
But none will be spared
For I have sworn revenge

I moved trough the mist
I was a shadow of hate
We sacrificed them to Odin
And I had my bloody revenge

To drink in Walhalla
[Music by Valgard]
[Lyrics by Xavier Boonen]

Come my brothers; hear you not the horns'
They call to us. War is drawing near.
Sharp your axe, grab your shield.
With spear in hand, the gods lead us into battle.

I stand on the front line, I see my enemy
All of us realize this battle might be our last.
Greatly outnumbered, but eager to kill.
The war-drums pound, as we start our charge.
A deadly rain of a thousand arrows falls over my kin.
But that wont stop us, we came for blood.

Pray to Odin, Pray to Thor.
And pray to Tyr, to win this War.
We will crush them in this fight,
or drink in Walhalla tonight.

We greet the bastards with steel in hand.
Blood and tears flow in to the land.
A bowman pierces my shoulder, I feel the mighty blow.
My axe swings in violent rage and brings many to their knees
Their lines are broken and many lie at our feet.
My brothers rip through them like they're made of dust.

 Pray to Odin, Pray to Thor.
And pray to Tyr, to win this War.
We will crush them in this fight,
or drink in Walhalla tonight.

Men are cut down when my axe sings its blood song.
Severed limbs and shred organs litter the field.
 Victory is close at hand, our pagan blood makes us strong.
I cry to the Gods as a spear is pinned through my chest
I pray to Odin to bring me my death when I take my last breath.
And the valkyries take me away from Midgard.

Pray to Odin, Pray to Thor.
And pray to Tyr, to win this War.
We will crush them in this fight,
or drink in Walhalla tonight

Vengeance of the vikings
[Music by Valgard]
[Lyrics by Xavier Boonen]

A thousand years ago
A storm came over Europe
From the north they came
The Viking invasion had begun

It began at lindfarne
And soon Britannia was lost
The whole world was at their feet
And the European mainland held their breath

Tongeren and luik where victims
Of the Norseman's fury
And they left their legacy
Viking blood runs through my veins

But a danger came
Greater than the greatest army
christianity was forced upon us
And our pagan pride was banished

"in mijn aderen loopt het heidens bloed"
"dat men heeft willen verbannen"
"door de kerk die u leugens voedt"
"hoed u voor de wraak van de noormannen"

Now in the new millennium
The world will once again be in terror
The vengeance of the Vikings
Is coming for all of you

We will rise and stop for nothing
After a thousand years of plundering, murder and rape
The christian rule is at an end
And the ancient law will prevail

"in mijn aderen loopt het heidens bloed"
"dat men heeft willen verbannen"
"door de kerk die u leugens voedt"
"hoed u voor de wraak van de noormannen"
