Immortal - Sons Of Northern Darkness (2002)

Riding through the blackfires of endless time
The icy dawn lifts with an horizon like nordens on fire
Still peace breathes through the realm
This ride will be the one

The morning sun, gleam upon these peaceful plains
Far beyond realms of fire and ice
Legions marches on
Now blow the mighty horns of war

Fly throughout the sky, set fire to the land
Fly throughout the sky, sons of northern darkness

Anger rideth with the one that know no fear
Whose eyes like fire, whose heart's like ice
And spirit rideth with the ones that know no fear
They were the sons, the sons of northern darkness
Wisdom rideth with the ones that know no fear
As old as the northern wind blow, blow over grim moors

Come on!

Gathered we all storm the land
Sound of triumph in the air
Legions marches on
Now hear the mighty battleblast

Fly throughout the sky, set fire to the land
Fly throughout the sky, sons of northern darkness Открыть страницу с текстом

Gaping in the horizon, entire continent cloached on ice
Giant ice sheets constantly on the move
Seas of this continent so cold and invincible
Where icebergs move as monuments towards a dry damned earth

Behind the gates and mighty portal
Of the arctic polar circle
Builds the frozen, frozen layers of snow
Perfect platform to grow against the seasons

Towering in the horizon
An entire continent cloached on ice
With giant ice sheets floating nearer
With its tide and icy waves
Waves

The snowbelts of Antarctica rise
With its dark polar winterstorms
Shadow of Antarctica spreads
With its masses of permafrost...

The climate shifts colder for the older age
Glacier stretches far, washing everything away
The darkest face of ice
The coldest place of all
The massive and unconquerable
Its drama will unfold Открыть страницу с текстом

On many ships I have sailed
Far beyond the North waves
On the high northern seas
We have found our way
The shadowing voices of our gods
Singing on the calling wind
Where the cold waves
And longboats brought us far
The saga of the warriors from Northland
Speak of greatness and strength
The saga of the warriors from Northland
Are the saga of many greater men

On seas against the open
We travelled on and on
Through the raging winds and storms
We arrived
The shadowing voices of our gods
Singing on the calling wind
Where the cold waves
And longboats brought us far
With sword in hand I now stand
On my enemies' land
And my northern heart, I will fight
Until the day I die
Die!

My time will be remembered
My time, it will be known
By my sons, by my tribe
And by the sun, the sea and moon

For he who battle for his land
His pride and for his men
Shall be remembered
And stand eternally named in the legends of our land
In the legends of our land!

Breathing in winds
From the essence of a roaring horizon
Breathing in winds
From the cold sea call the shores of the North Открыть страницу с текстом

Black upon the throne forever
Devilish to be
Haunting in the voids
Somewhere only demons breathe

Black upon the throne forever
Demonic to be
With eyes that possesses
Dare you to connect us
Communing with spirits
And souls of the beyond
Cursed in black
Summoned here within

Black upon the throne forever
Never to return
Lurking in the caves
Blacker than darkness itself
Face us
By the damned in black you fall
Speeding with death's wind
Through the gates of the beyond

Red mark us pure and evil
Black spirits haunt from here
The frozen squad descend
Demonium, the flame burn within
Death rides on demonwings
Black spirits haunt from here
The frozen squad descend
Demonium, demons until the end
Until the end Открыть страницу с текстом

Forth after dark, a time I do know
In my kingdom I enter to my own world
Open the gate of mountain of dark
Rising with the shadows, a dark world made for me

Black my mind, black my heart
In my kingdom I enter to my own world
Open the gate of a mountain of black
Rising with the shadows, a black world made for me

In my kingdom cold
At the mountains of madness
Unending grimness
On these mountains which I heart
In my kingdom cold
At the mountains of madness
Unending grimness
This kingdom is mine

Frozen and cold, an existence I do know
In my kingdom cold I enter this condition
Open the gate, that's a mountain of ice
Rising with the shadows, a cold world made for me
Cold world made for me

Forth after dark, a time I do know
In my kingdom I enter to my own world
Open the gate of a mountain of dark
Rising with the shadows, a world truly made for me...

And here we go again

In my kingdom cold
At the mountains of madness
Unending grimness
On these mountains which I heart
In my kingdom cold!
At the mountains of madness!
Unending grimness!
This kingdom is mine!
This kingdom is mine! Открыть страницу с текстом

Aeons ago the legends tell we rode onward
Led astray by the northern chaos gods
Calm before the storm, we came from the north
Horses roamed in the open landscapes
Scald sang to their kings, only he who battle wins
Scald sang to their kings, let the battle be fought to be won

Tremble with fear for the banner of our kings
War now calls heed to the battle
Hear our swords clinging in the wind
Men cast from their saddles, horses roar and scream

Descendants of wrath and the kingdom of fear
The might we possess burn like fire
The will remain in our northern hearts
More scalps to be won — an eye for an eye

Aeons ago the legends tell we rode onward
Led astray by the northern chaos gods
One by one by the northern tribe you fall
One by one, die by the strongest of them all
Still there's only greatness sung to those who fell
Who battled strong to win these wars, one by one we took your lives

Gray mist swirl across the meadows
Where battle once ruled the steps
Where the ancient armours of bronze
Are buried and corroded by time

Strong were those who won the war
And the legends tell only of wrath
As brothers of the northern tribes
They guarded the borders of chaos
We leave these battlefield ground
Red were the rivers of blood
Unforgotten by the ones
Born of strength and glory

Tremble with fear for the banner of our kings
War now calls heed to the battle
Hear our swords clinging in the wind
Men cast from their saddles, horses roar and scream Открыть страницу с текстом

Armored horses, gloves of steel
Silver blades, time to reveal
We're the tyrants that guard the land
Proud upon our gilded thrones
Servants of the great ancestors
Who guarded the gates to infinity
Once kings of shadows on these blackened fields
All might and domination ruled the realms of the above

Inconquerable walls, weapon of might
Splendor and nobility, barbaric times
We're the tyrants that guard the land
Proud upon our gilded thrones
The kings at hold at their throne
Immortal, invincible, the might lives on
Armies hoovered accross the land, here roll the rivers of red
Beyond that has no man been

We're the tyrants
We're the tyrants

Armored horses, gloves of steel
Siilver blades, time to reveal
We're the tyrants that guard the land
Proud upon our gilded thrones
Moments of time roll deep within the mind
Thoughts roam free and endless
Remembering the tyrants' time

We're the tyrants
War!
We're the tyrants Открыть страницу с текстом

Dark night landscapes and only me
Seas and rivers high, deeps and waterfalls
Massive mountains, powerful mountains, only me
Where bergs and peeks throne, cold beneath the moon

The dark night's horizons and only me
The shunning moonlit lights, paths to forest wild
Massive sky, powerful sky and only me
Epic and diabolic, swallowing the gloom

At the works of my gods I glaze my heart to be
The nature of dark, awake my soul to see
At the works of my gods I glaze my heart to be
With an evil mind, flamed my heart will be

My quest reverses time within the dark mind
Strength in it I find within the dark mind

The dark mind, landscapes and only me
Walls of time benight, a world I realized
Massive thoughts, powerful thoughts, still only me
A deepening of a shadow by the dimmening of the sun

At the works of my gods I glaze my heart to be
With an evil mind, flamed my heart will be
My quest reverses time within the dark mind
Strength in it I find within the dark mind! Открыть страницу с текстом
