Uprising

Warsaw Rise!

Do you remember when, when the Nazis forced their rule on Poland 1939 and the allies turned away

From the underground rose a hope of freedom as a whisper

City in despair, but they never lost their faith

Women, men and children fight

they were dying side by side

And the blood they shed upon the streets

was a sacrifice willingly paid

Warsaw city at war

Voices from underground

whispers of freedom

1944 help that never came

Calling Warsaw city at war

Voices from underground

whispers of freedom

Rise up and hear the call

History calling to you

'Warszawo, walcz!'

Spirit soul and heart

in accordance with the old traditions

1944 still the allies turn away

Fighting street to street

in a time of hope and desperation

Did it on their own and they never lost their faith

Women, men and children fight

they were dying side by side

And the blood they shed upon the streets

was a sacrifice willingly paid

Warsaw city at war

Voices from underground

whispers of freedom

1944 help that never came

Calling Warsaw city at war

Voices from underground

whispers of freedom

Rise up and hear the call

History calling to you

'Warszawo, walcz!'

[Solo – Oskar & Rikard]

[2x]

All the streetlights in the city

broken many years ago

Break the curfew, hide in sewers

Warsaw it's time to rise now

Warsaw city at war

Voices from underground

whispers of freedom

1944 help that never came

Calling Warsaw city at war

Voices from underground

whispers of freedom

Rise up and hear the call

History calling to you

'Warszawa, walcz!'

Union (Slopes Of St. Benedict)

As a turn of the tide

It is our turn to rise

The force of a union at war

March over the mountains

On our way to the north

On the road that will lead us to Rome

Our way will not be easy

It will take us through hardship and pain

Hill after hill breaking their line of defense

Head at north

Mile after mile our march carries on

No army may stop our approach

Fight side by side

Many nations unite

At the shadow of Monte Cassino

We fight and die together

As we head for the valley of death

Destiny calls

We'll not surrender or fail

To arms!

Under one banner

As a unit we stand

And united we fall -

As one fighting together

Bringing the end to the slaughter

Winds are changing

Head at north!

Unbreakable

It's under crimson skies hell's horizon

Our trap will spring

Unaware of our presence they'll be marching

Straight to their doom

We are prepared for war ready to fire

Stand by to charge

Counting down as they march into destruction

Their time has come

They'll never know we give no warning

We set a trap they took the bait

Leading them straight into hell

They will not live to tell the tale

We'll strike at dusk and fight 'til dawn

Tonight our foe is bound to fail

Our time is now all ready at arms

Upon our chosen ground dead men marching

No sign of hope

Victory will be ours before the dawn breaks

Tonight we charge

Chaos and disorder sound of the attack

Charging down the mountain frontal assault

Guns light up the darkness mortars rip the ground

Like a force of nature shaking the field

They'll never know we give no warning

We set a trap they took the bait

Cut off retreat

Released

Unleashed

The beast within berserker rage is

Released

Unleashed

A storm a force unbreakable warmachine

Victims of the ambush

Stains the ground with blood

Fields of execution murderous plan

Soldiers turn to madmen in the dead of night

Fighting with a fury fiery eyes

11.1.11

Under The Northern Star

The icy winter is creeping near

Dark skies above us

Biting frost in the air

Darkness surrounds us

The cold piercing autumn breeze

Fills the longships sail

Soon the lakes and seas will freeze

And snow will lay its veil

Many years we've been away

Many oceans we have roamed

Now the North star guides us on our way

As we are heading home

The many hardships we've endured

Have brought us rich reward

Now the North star guides us home

With cargo full of gold

Many friends died on the way

Only few of us survived

But I would gladly take their place

In Oden’s hall up high

[Solo: Söderberg]

The icy winter is creeping near

Dark skies above us

Biting frost in the air

Darkness surrounds us

Soon the lakes and seas will freeze

And snow will lay its veil

And we will long for the summer breeze

Where we can set our sails

Under The Grayclouded Winter Sky

Grey clouds - cover the winter sky

Cold snow - falls like autumn leaves to the ground

The icy wind

Pierces the skin of waiting warriors

Like spears

Will pierce their bodies in battle

Frosted

Beards on pale grey faces

Eyes of death

Are burning with rage

Glancing across the fields of Tyr

In the early morning light

Grey clouds - cover the winter sky

Cold snow - falls like autumn leaves to the ground

The icy wind

Pierces the skin of waiting warriors

Like spears

Will pierce their bodies in battle

War cries break the silent wait

Charging warriors rush to kill

Swords are swung in the air

The gods of war are called

Vikings with fire in soul

Clash on the open field

Slaying with powerful strokes

The snow is turning red

Hooves gallop the plains

Warlords on horsebacks

Ride into battle

With a thunderous roar

The storm wind of death

Blows across the field

Sweeping with it

Everything in its way

So the battle settles

Alone stands just one man

Under the grey-clouded winter sky - alone. . .

Understanding (Wash It All Away)

"You hold the answers deep within your own mind.

Consciously, you've forgotten it.

That's the way the human mind works.

Whenever something is too unpleasant, to shameful for us

to entertain, we reject it.

We erase it from our memories.

But the imprint is always there."

(Can't wash it all away)

(Can't Wish it all away)

(Can't hope it all away)

(Can't cry it all away)

The pain that grips you

The fear that binds you

Releases life in me

In our mutual

Shame we hide our eyes

To blind them from the truth

That finds a way from who we are

Please don't be afraid

When the darkness fades away

The dawn will break the silence

Screaming in our hearts

My love for you still grows

This I do for you

Before I try to fight the truth my final time

"We're supposed to try and be real.

And I feel alone, and we're not together. And that is real."

Can't wash it all away

Can't wish it all away

Can't cry it all away

Can't scratch it all away

Lying beside you

Listening to you breathe

The life that flows inside of you

Burns inside of me

Hold and speak to me

Of love without a sound

Tell me you will live through this

And I will die for you

Cast me not away

Say you'll be with me

For I know I cannot

Bear it all alone

"You're not alone, honey."

"Never... Never."

Can't fight it all away

Can't hope it all away

Can't scream it all away

It just won't fade away, No

Can't wash it all away

Can't wish it all away

Can't cry it all away

Can't scratch it all away

(Can't fight it all away)

(Can't hope it all away)

Can't scream it all away

Ooh, it all away

"But the imprint is always there. Nothing is ever really forgotten."

"God, please don't hate me"

"Because I'll die if you do."

9.1.11

Uncreation

[Music: Archaon, Ravn, Lyrics: Destroyer]

Upon the powdered joints of human bones,

In grim chambers and unhallowed ground,

Tied down with ropes from skin and flesh,

Here lies only ruin and damnation,

The dead holler... endless and toneless

Rites of the miserable turned to dust,

Your maggot-ridden hearts still beating,

Fleshless, bricked up, and left to rot...

Uncreation,

Unspeakable Rituals,

Into my rotten soul they wail,

Clandestine Writing,

Hacked from human bones,

Whispered in the eldest ways,

Casket movements,

Through Cascades of towering limbs,

Behind a leathered masque of hate.

Out from a permanent nothingness,

Beyond the black cloak of death,

Ancient, Rot-browned inhuman ways,

Buried in disintegrating flesh.

Uncreation,

Diabolic Blight,

Enter with pride Necropolis,

No sanctum,

Here lies only infernal death,

Buried in ash and angel's dust,

Casket movements,

As worms on gangrene-flesh,

Like drones through necromantic galleries,

Howling through mounds of teeth and hair,

Imprisoned behind a wall of corpses,

Necrotic skin peel from yellow bones,

Licking the envenomed blades of evil.
