Adflictio Passio Discordia Insidia Virtus Animus Gloria Laetitia Great is the pain That resides in our hearts It shall burn forever In our souls, burn our glory Snow is now falling Down on the city ruins All is frozen, all is enslaved Through Lothar’s power Everyone’s prisoner of the dark lord Frozen are all the trees, their leaves are gone They now stand still, like dead, they can’t dance Into the warm wind that used to blow On summer nights long ago Frozen are all the rivers and all the streams That used to flow singing their melodies and their life Out through the fields And through all the woods and hills Frozen is now the valley All life is gone but our own We are enslaved to serve a master Even more cruel than our king, now slain Strong has now grown Our thirst for revenge We will not rest nor retreat Until defeat takes down Magnaroth There are no chains, yet we are enslaved We can’t lift our swords nor bend our bows Our hands are like frozen, our limbs cold like stone Iced is the valley yet boiling is our blood There is no prophecy, there is no sign There is no promise that we shall survive Yet there is life, still there is light There is hope in our hearts There is no prophecy, there is no sign But there is a promise to save our souls Long shall we fight when our strength shall be back We shall win or die, we don’t care anymore Frozen are all the rivers and all the streams That used to flow singing their melodies and their life Out through the fields And through all the woods and hills Frozen is now the valley All life is gone but our own We are enslaved to serve a master Even more cruel than our king, now slain Strong has now grown Our thirst for revenge We will not rest nor retreat Until defeat takes down Magnaroth Adflictio Passio Discordia Insidia Virtus Animus Gloria Laetitia

The Sorcerer 05:11
Up went the waves though there was no wind Lifting up the ship of Asger, asleep Out of the water came a man, all black Long cloak, tall hat, he shouted out aloud: “Beware, stranger, you lost your way Turn around whilst there’s still time Ahead there’s void, there’s nothing that you seek Steer around or fall into the Abyss” “Leave, old man I will not listen (to) your words I know ahead there is the Other Land” “Don’t, believe what they tell Their eyes are blind their mouths, like viper’s If you go on, your fate you’ll meet Your ship will sink, your life... lost!” “Slave of your lies, your words can’t reach me Nor your poison hurt me, your evil is wasted Great Magic protects my ship, shifts the winds in my sails Shields my life from the evil you try to unleash" Dark clouds covered the moon and the stars Thousand bats flew round and round Tongues of fire shot out of the water But the winds kept pushing Asger to the Other Land Taller and taller the old man kept growing His feet high above the waves His eyes gleaming with anger and rage His arms stretched out, his face distorted “How dare you insult me How dare you defy me? Never did I hear such insolence In thousand years of traveling these lands The Magic that you trust, you cannot see The friends that sent you here want your death I’ll give you one last chance to survive turn your ship and I’ll spare you my wrath” “Leave, old man I will not listen (to) your words I know ahead there is the Other Land” “How can you blindly follow a path you can’t see A God you can’t hear, can’t feel How can you foolishly believe that he cares for your soul That he cares for you life, for he knows no love” “Listen to me, old man, you tempt me in vain I can see my path, I can feel my God’s love Take a look at yourself, you’re living in fear Eat’n by lies or by spear, you cannot trick my soul”

“From high in the sky, I come Fall like the hail, I crush Hot like magma, I burn… and burn I will! Wings like an eagle, I soar From up in the sky, I watch you Run in misery, and fear Short you will last, I promise Now, where is courage gone when you Know who is your enemy: Elsorth? Now, do you fear the tales that you were told As a child Fear, I can see the fear deep in your eyes I’ll feast upon your lives later Rage: now you know how powerless you are Face to my fire Flee from me, ride Flee from me or fight! Long I’ve been waiting for this battle Long I’ve been craving for your gold Long I’ve been looking to this day Tonight I will feast in glory Dragon fire you still did not taste Watch it burn all into ashes Feel its cold bite onto your skin Wait in pain ‘till I fly down Now, where is courage gone when you Know who is your enemy: Elsorth? Now, do you fear the tales that you were told As a child Fear, I can see the fear deep in your eyes I’ll feast upon your lives later Rage: now you know how powerless you are Face to my fire Flee from me, ride Flee from me or fight!” “Elsorth! Elsorth!” “Red is the sun and like gold I shine Enjoy the sight for soon it will rain Rain of fire and clouds of ash Hell for all life but Heaven for me I am so glad that you came to fight Inside your homes I know hide your wives What if I burn down the city first? Leave you the agony to see it all Now, where is courage gone when you Know who is your enemy: Elsorth? Now, do you fear the tales that you were told As a child Fear, I can see the fear deep in your eyes I’ll feast upon your lives later Rage: now you know how powerless you are Face to my fire Flee from me, ride Flee from me or fight!”

Sirens' Song 06:11
The sun rises Over the clouds And far You can see The seagulls fly High There is land Somewhere ahead Yes, there are reefs You can hear the sound of water Crashing against… Helplessly drawn Asger comes close He knows not why What for… Sitting on the rocks are the Most beautiful girls He ever saw He never imagined to hear Such enchanting voices Sing the sweetest Melodies on earth… Sweet… So sweet they sing: “Closer, come closer Handsome strong man on your ship Are you at war, do you have ennemies Do you have time, listen to our melodies They are so sweet you know you like them Closer, come closer Handsome strong man on your ship Are you at war, why wear a sword Are you afraid, look, we have no weapons We’re girls, so harmless we are” “Hide away, I don’t want to hear your music anymore though it’s sweet, like poison it kills me Hide away, I’m on a long journey And I do not want to fail so close to land” “Stranger, are you afraid, warrior what do you fear See, we are only girls, see, we now only sing Hearken our music Stranger, are you afraid, warrior what do you fear See, we are only girls, see, we now only sing Hearken our music” “Yes, you know I’m afraid for I know you are sirens You want to sink my boat, you want to take my life I will not listen I have travelled so far, I have met a sorcerer I did go through storms, I did go through fog I don’t want to fail now” “Closer, come closer Handsome strong man on your ship Are you at war, do you have ennemies Do you have time, listen to our melodies They are so sweet you know you like them Closer, come closer Handsome strong man on your ship Are you at war, why wear a sword Are you afraid, look, we have no weapons We’re girls, so harmless we are” “Stranger, are you afraid, warrior what do you fear See, we are only girls, see, we now only sing Hearken our music Stranger, are you afraid, warrior what do you fear See, we are only girls, see, we now only sing Hearken our music” “Sirens, why do you tempt me Sirens, what do you want There is no gold aboard, My life is not worth much See, I am no King Sirens, why do yo tempt me sirens, what do you want this is just a war ship I am just a warrior going to the Other Land" “Closer, come closer Handsome strong man on your ship Are you at war, do you have ennemies Do you have time, listen to our melodies They are so sweet you know you like them Closer, come closer Handsome strong man on your ship Are you at war, why wear a sword Are you afraid, look, we have no weapons We’re girls, so harmless we are”

(Dedrick) “I will show you my power I will show you my wrath I will humble your pride I will make you all mine I will drink your rain You will regret your doings You will swallow your words You will remember my anger You will beg at my feet I shall teach you pain Death you chose willingly Come and take it now I will give it to you What did you think you would get By challenging me? I will tear you apart Orrick, eldest tree Why choose to die You knew The wolf is stronger than you are Orrick, fairest tree Why fight, why die? You could have lived Had you chosen to bear these heavy chains” (Orrick) “Don’t tempt me With your lies You can kill me But you can’t hide the truth Begone Stay away I won’t take it I won’t eat of your bread” (Dedrick) “Watch me I’ll take you apart Watch now How he will burn Watch me My anger rises Wait now Your turn will come I will show you my power I will show you my wrath I will humble your pride I will make you all mine I will drink your rain You will regret your doings You will swallow your words You will remember my anger You will beg at my feet I shall teach you pain Eldest tree I will take you home I will show you The house of your Father” (Orrick) “Black wolf You can burn my bark You can take me apart But you can’t reach my soul” (Dedrick) “Watch me I’ll take you apart Watch now How he will burn Watch me My anger rises Wait now Your turn will come I will show you my power I will show you my wrath I will humble your pride I will make you all mine I will drink your rain You will regret your doings You will swallow your words You will remember my anger You will beg at my feet I shall teach you pain”

Once upon a time There was a valley along a river so Clear, and meadows so green and fresh Trees had grown so tall and so old In forests so deep, the rain never reached the Ground, so still you could sleep forever Summer was warm and rain didn’t lack Wind always blew softly through the Oaks’ leaves Birds always sang their sweet songs of joy while Water ran swiftly in clear stone-clad streams Summer was warm and rain didn’t lack Wind always blew softly through the Oaks’ leaves Birds always sang their sweet songs of joy while Water ran swiftly in clear stone-clad streams Yet, people lived in misery, misery Yet, people lived in misery, misery Yet, people lived in misery, misery A shameless king reigned on the valley He lived of his lust of his hunger for sin In his castle he did feast on the spoils of his wars On his throne he rejoiced for the Gold he did steal “Shameless king your time will come Shameless king your time will come” shouted the crowd His army was strong, protected his castle Not from the enemy, but from his own kingdom “Death for the king” shouted women and men Yet they wouldn’t leave this valley so green for like Heaven it looked, like heaven it felt Oh, how could they dwell far away from this bliss The soldiers of the king were afraid of their master They feared for their lives, for their wives and their children They did not dare disobey the king’s orders For cruelly did he punish any attempt of rebellion Late at night, the villagers met They wanted rebellion, they wanted a new king Young men had swords, lumberjacks axes Old men had anger but the castle was too strong A shameless king reigned on the valley He lived of his lust of his hunger for sin In his castle he did feast on the spoils of his wars On his throne he rejoiced for the Gold he did steal “Shameless king your time will come Shameless king your time will come” shouted the crowd A shameless king reigned on the valley He lived of his lust of his hunger for sin In his castle he did feast on the spoils of his wars On his throne he rejoiced for the Gold he did steal “Shameless king your time will come Shameless king your time will come” shouted the crowd

Where did she go when she fell down the edge Is she lost? Where did she go when the dragon rolled over Is she lost? We can now see that the writings were true We can now see that the prophecy’s right She will shine, again she’ll rise Bright she will shine From story to legend she has now come Again she’ll shine Into the abyss she vanished from sight One day she’ll rise Angris, from story to Legend Angris, from story to Legend Angris, from story to Legend Angris, from story to Legend One day she’ll rise again, no one will know One day she’ll shine again white light One day her bright glow will light up the sky One day she’ll light the dawn in red She’ll shine again Forged by the skillful hands of Ingur smiths Long time ago Bearing the light of salvation She shone into the dark We can now see that the writings were true We can now see that the prophecy’s right She will shine, again she’ll rise Bright she will shine - Born from the stone and the fire of Ingur From naught she rose Gifted with light and the fate to save men Like moonlight she shone Angris, from story to Legend Angris, from story to Legend Angris, from story to Legend Angris, from story to Legend One day she’ll rise again, no one will know One day she’ll shine again white light One day her bright glow will light up the sky One day she’ll light the dawn in red She’ll shine again One day she’ll rise again, no one will know One day she’ll shine again white light One day her bright glow will light up the sky One day she’ll light the dawn in red She’ll shine again!

Don’t come back here Cursed you are Night will take you Black like your souls Light has changed all The wolf and fox lost I am King here You shall be thrown in the dark Of the night so cold How dare you fly back to here After you left all How say you this forest is yours You know I made it all Short is life, eternal is love You knew it all before Choice is made, you took your side You can’t come back now I can feel the flowers grow Honey glow, water flow I can hear the wind in the trees Humming of bees, singing of leaves I can hear the calling of the crow Nesting far below, dancing of the fawn I can see the stars up in the sky Eagles flying high, growing of the light From far you came Forgot your shame Far you’ll go Remember pain Home you left To linger here First you were To flee away Banished into night I gave you all though it was not yours I gave you love I gave you hope when there was none I gave you shelter Did you care about my love About your brothers Did you love The One who gives eternity? No! Banished into night Don’t come back here Cursed you are Night will take you Black like your souls Light has changed all The wolf and Fox lost I am King here You shall be thrown In the Dark of the Night so Cold Dark is night, you knew it before The cold won’t stop soon You chose pain, you chose to sin You gave up honour Blind is greed, foolish is pride You knew it all before Sweet is love, a passion so pure Why throw it away? I can feel the flowers grow Honey glow, water flow I can hear the wind in the trees Humming of bees, singing of leaves I can hear the calling of the crow Nesting far below, dancing of the fawn I can see the stars up in the sky Eagles flying high, growing of the light From far you came Forgot your shame Far you’ll go Remember pain Banished into night

Mammon 05:47
Mammon, Lord of money Mammon, King of covetousness Exalt your disciples, up to heaven Wait for the end They shall be brought down to Hell Blinded by thirst They lust to starvation Hungered and deaf They run into oblivion Why do they follow The paths and ways of the dead Why deny The love of their Creator In darkness and fear They stumbled upon you Reached down to feel Your crumbling fortune You, made of gold Gave them a new strength Used it for their sins They knew you would take them down Like it, hate it They know they’re going down Deny Him, curse Him No one can hear their sound Say it, cry it Water up to their neck Deny You, curse You They know there’s no way back! They Were Given A Last chance They Were Given A Last chance They only care about All your treasures They regard nothing else But your pleasures Don’t they worry Once their lives end They shall go down Into fire Shining like moonlight Stained and dripping with blood Your gold, now red Is resting into their hands Pitiless, you strike Bring down your disciples Their light is gone Your darkness surrounds all They could turn back They could still repent They could give up Your quest for power But they are blind Blinded by your lust But they are deaf Deafened by your own thirst Like it, hate it They know they’re going down Deny Him, curse Him No one can hear their sound Say it, cry it Water up to their neck Deny You, curse You They know there’s no way back! Calling and crying You hear that I’m dying Why don’t take me away? I’m your brother calling You know that I’m drowning Why don’t you turn and come back? Calling and crying You hear that I’m dying Why don’t take me away? I’m your brother calling You know that I’m drowning Why don’t you turn and come back? Like it, hate it They know they’re going down Deny Him, curse Him No one can hear their sound Say it, cry it Water up to their neck Deny You, curse You They know there’s no way back! Like it, hate it They know they’re going down Deny Him, curse Him No one can hear their sound Say it, cry it Water up to their neck Deny You, curse You They know there’s no way back!
