This hate inside me
It is constantly growing
Years of hollow lies
Made pagan hatred rise

They came with their troops
Destroying land and roots
Abominations under the sun
They and their poisoned truth

One by one my people fell
Under their deceptive spell
How many sons of the
North had to fall?

Before our eyes could see
This isn’t how it should be!

“Under the Northern star

We shed our blood
With the call of a battle horn
We raise our swords

Behind the fields of blood
There’s a haven for us
Deep in the woods of the North
Rises the Heathen Throne”

Under the Northern star

We shed our blood
With the call of a battle horn
We raise our swords

“Under the Northern star

We shed our blood
With the call of a battle horn
We raise our swords

Behind the fields of blood
There’s a haven for us
Deep in the woods of the North
Rises the Heathen Throne”

Upholder of the skies
For too long has your name been despised
Give us your strength and courage
When we meet our nemesis
On the shores that used to be
The place we called home

Our land and faith are raped
Somehow they’re going to pay

Grant us your revenge
We are not afraid of death
Let none of them ever more, ever more
Lay a hopeful gaze upon the sky…upon the sky!

“Under the Northern star

We shed our blood
With the call of a battle horn
We raise our swords

Behind the fields of blood
There’s a haven for us
Deep in the woods of the North
Rises the Heathen Throne”

Yllä harmaan korven korpit laulaa
Hurme tämän kansan roudan sulattaa
Katso kuinka hohkaa kansi taivaan
Kutsuu se meitä Tumman Virran Taa
Heikot vaipuu kuohuun sysimustaan
Sankarit kun astuu joen rantaan
Halki iäisyyden laulu raikaa
Kutsuu se veljiä Tumman Virran Taa

Could my ruin have come
My day of trouble have arrived
In these tuonele cabins

These abodes of the dead land?

Far beyond the dark stream pagan souls will

Roam those cold lands wild and free
Wait for the sign; a blood red sky
Then beyond the dark stream we will ride

The path of mortals
So narrow and brutal
Only bravest of them all

Will find true valor

Decaying souls of men
Who trust in false omens
Will drown in the stream

With their untrue beliefs

He’s been drifting

For so long
Searching for the land
Where heroes roam

In the horizon
The last ray of light
A breeze from the other side
Before he dies

Dividing walls of stone
Eternal Heathen Throne
Beneath the cold starlight
Revealed for the purest sight

Through constant affliction

Towards alleviations
When a searing star is near
Carry on, you’re almost here

Far beyond the dark stream we’ll meet again

Across the wilderness and we will be home
Gather your strength, don’t be afraid
Far beyond the dark stream, we’ll meet again

The Longest Journey of them all
Has to be made all alone

A flame in the skyline reaching the stars

Guiding the seeker through the night!

Far beyond the dark stream we’ll meet again

Across the wilderness and we will be home
Gather your strength, don’t be afraid
Far beyond the dark stream, we’ll meet again

Not just for victory,
not just to crush your enemy

Not just for heir to be,
but for this moment and to fight the injustice…

It was written long ago

This is what I’ve been told
An army came across the sea
To conquer this low land

They lured with their lies

Shouting “Peasants, kneel or die!”

Outnumbered, undaunted
War cry rose to the skies

On the homeland of the raven
Where the eagles scream at daybreak
And the clang and clash of armies
Beautiful the strife for conquest

Rain…came over to the north
Flood of lies…to drown the old gods
A storm rose…within the hearts of enslaved
Ode…for My Ancestors’ Blood

The seer foresaw
The curse from above
Like a roar of approaching giant horde
In the moors and in the marshes
On the borders of the woodlands
They marched like approaching giant horde

When I yield my life forever

Bravely will I fall in battle

Fall upon the field of glory

Beautiful to die in armor

Rain…came over to the north
Flood of lies…to drown the old gods
A storm rose…within the hearts of enslaved
Ode…for My Ancestors’ Blood

…

The darkest hour, the hopeless time

Is always before the rise of the dawn

Find your courage to stand against a stream

The fairest they speak when the falsest they think

When mouths of men speak the words of gods
The truth will never be enough for anyone

When you reach the peak of the highest mountain

Proudly plant the flag of the heathen Defiance

When mouths of men speak the words of gods
The truth will never be enough for anyone

When you reach the peak of the highest mountain

Proudly plant the flag of the heathen Defiance

Wielded lashes, pyres flame, gloomy gallows

Tormented ones, brave and free

Screams echo in time

Not one unjust deed goes unpunished

No blood is shed in vain under the reborn thunder sign

I know we will

Claim the throne and kill

They asked for war so we will give them one
The one to end it all

Reckoning with blood

Stop the madness that’s gone on for centuries

From the ashes of the ancient blood and wisdom

The children of thunder will rise again

From the ashes of the ancient blood and wisdom

The children of thunder will rise again

In a storm of obloquy, my sons stand strong

Marshall the forces, gather up weapons for the last war to come

Who is so righteous, un-corrupted, to condemn and Dominate

With truth and not with illusions

Not driven by the greed to be enthroned and rule?

Havoc no more

The reign of men

From the ashes of the ancient blood and wisdom

The children of thunder will rise again

From the ashes of the ancient blood and wisdom

The children of thunder will rise again

When mouths of men speak the words of gods
The truth will never be enough for anyone

When you reach the peak of the highest mountain

Proudly plant the flag of the heathen Defiance
