Bathory - To Enter Your Mountain

O, so it is written son
When all waters and land you see
All around came to birth
Man and beast was one
And the gods of the sky
Walked the face of the earth

Few free and innocent
Man strolled paths next to those
Of beasts seeing no signs
But stars in the sky
Knowing of day and night
Of rain and winds, hunger and fright
But not of death nor of life

While all was at ease with all
Living creatures and beast
And the gods of the sky enjoyed the lavish
Riches of this world
Giants rose out of their caves and took to the
Skies challenging the gods for the power of the universe
Only when the great halls of Valhalla
Stood aflame lighting up the worlds all around
Did the gods wake up from their drunken sleep
To speed through the heavens
And clash with the giants in the greatest battle ever seen
Heads arms and legs of both giant and god
Fell down upon the earth
And... The weapons... The swords of shining metal...
And those who found them
And took these shining blades in hand were only men
Now man was the master of this world

The story tells of raging winds
Black clouds gathered up high
And of lightning striking
From a burning bloodred sky

The mountains crumbled to the seas
Earth shook the worlds collide
Ending the age of gods
Giving birth to our time
And man lived and man learned
The secret of steel

Ore of earth - fire of sky
Forged is blade of gods

Blood and iron
Blood and iron
Blood and iron
Blood and iron
Blood and iron
Blood and iron
Blood and iron
Blood and iron

So the age to learn and to teach
For man begins, the power to know
The blood and iron discipline
And tell the story of how man was granted
These shining blades of steel

Knowing of the past she will know of the tomorrow
And man shall reign, yes even conquer other worlds
And she will set sails on her starships
Sailing across the seas of black space
And become the new gods of the skies
The skies
The skies
The skies
The skies
The skies
The skies
The skies

Father who art in the sky
Hold thy hand above me
Mighty is the raging waves
On which I ride

Mother who awaits me ashore
Let your golden hair down
It will shine and guide me
Through the raging storm

Heading north after long a journey
We have sailed for so very long
Heavy seas endless sky above us
Heading north going home

Brother who fell in foreign land
Blessed thy soul a warriors
Living on through your sword
Now in my hand

Sister who for my return sings
Shed no more tears for my well
I can hear your voice clear now
In the wind

Heading north after long a journey
We have sailed for so very long
Heavy seas endless sky above us
Heading north going home

Heading north after long a journey
We have sailed for so very long
Heavy seas endless sky above us
Heading north going home

Now that the wind called my name
And my star had faded, now hardly a glimpse up in the empty space
And the wise one-eyed great father in the sky stilled my flame

For the ones who stood me near
And you few who were me dear
I ask of thee to have no doubts and no fears

For when the great clouds fills the air
And the thunder roars from oh so far away up in the sky
Then for sure you will know that I've reached the joyous hall up high

With my blood brothers at side
All sons of father with one eye
We were all born in the land of the blood on ice

And now you all who may hear my song
Brought to you by the northern wind, have no fears
Though the night may seem so everlasting and forever dark

There will come a golden dawn
At ends of nights for all ye
On whom upon the north star always shines

The vast gates to hall up high
Shall stand open wide and welcome you
With all its within
And Oden shall hail us bearers of a pounding

Blind fools who see only what they tell you to
Open up your eyes, you might see it too
See there is a lot to see within you too
Don't be like the rest and let them take it from you

Dumb fools who say only what they tell you to
Speak up and find that there is more truth within you than you knew
Somewhere someday you will stand before it too
Trust me, there's a never ending mountainside to climb for you too

To enter your mountain
Go into your mountainside
To enter one's mountainside will take its man
Who enters his mountain
With or without sword in hand
Who enters his mountainside, he will learn

Deaf fools who hears only what they tell you to
Open up your ears, you might hear it too
Listen, there's a wild storm within you too
Burst out, use its powers, don't be a

Damn fool, how can you follow paths not made by nor for you?
The only way you will ever need to walk is right there for you
Somewhere someday you will stand before it too
Trust me, there's a never ending mountainside to climb for you too

To enter your mountain
Go into your mountainside
To enter one's mountainside will take its man
Who enters his mountain
With or without sword in hand
Who enters his mountainside, he will learn

Mountain
He who enters his mountain
He who enters his mountain
He who enters his mountain
He who enters his mountain
He who enters his mountain

There is a serpent in every Eden
Slick as grease and cold as ice
There is a lie in every meaning
Rest assured to fool you twice

In this age of utter madness
We maintain we are in control
And ending life before deliverance
While countries are both bought and sold

Holy writings hocus-pocus
Blaze of glory and crucifix
Prepriced costly credit salvations
TV-preachers and dirty tricks

Don't trust nobody
It will cost you much too much
Beware of the dagger
It caress you at first touch
O, all small creatures
It is the Twilight Of The Gods

When the foundations to our existence
Begins to crumble one by one
And legislations protects its breakers
And he who was wrong but paid the most won

Even the gods of countless religions
Holds no powers against this tide
Of degeneration because we have now found
That there is no thrones up there in the sky

Run from this fire
It will burn your very soul
Its flames reaching higher
Come this far there is no hold
O, all small creatures
It is the Twilight Of The Gods

In great numbers we advance before dawn
By the great hail this great fight is born
Among the clouds now our black wings fills the air
No more frontlines the holy battle is everywhere

Though death may await me on the battlefield
I die to go on but by the great hail I will go
I am marching Under The Runes

Countless victories we fight side by side
Deep down in the oceans on land and way up in the sky
Comed this far now there is no way back or return
If we do withdraw the horizon will seem to burn

Though death now is closing in on me
I die to go on but by the great hail I will go
I am fighting Under The Runes

Standing here now amidst the hell we have made
All signs of a wonder or to survive now seems to fade
But I am a fighter and I still have my pride
They are gonna have to kill, by my own hand I refuse to die

Though now death is all that awaits me
I die to go on but by the great hail I will go
I am dying Under The Runes Открыть страницу с текстом

For as long as the grass grows
For as long as the stream flows
And the sun shines down unto us
Only they who walks the clouds knows
For how long the wind blows
And the sky is blue above us

I am a man and I hold in my hand my fate
Free as the wind as if even I had wings that carried me
Still in the middle of the night even I will need light to guide me
So I turn my face to the sky from where he with one eye is watching over me

My father's gods, I ride for you
My father's gods, I fight for you
My father's gods, I die for you
My father's gods, I am coming through to you
My father's gods, I am yours
Through blood by thunder

Sound of wings in the air and his ravens fly near to lead me
So I will not fail to ride down the trail long time destined for me
Long before I was born

O, can't you see it is all carved in the tree of fate
That a son of the north must fulfill his destined course to follow the bond of blood?
