amon amarth - twilight of the thunder god

There comes Fenris´ twin
His jaws are open wide
The serpent rises from the waves

Jormungandr twists and turns
Mighty in his wrath
The eyes are full of primal hate

Thor! Odin's son
Protector of mankind
Ride to meet your fate
Your destiny awaits
Thor! Hlödyn's son
Protector of mankind
Ride to meet your fate

Vingtor rise to face
The snake with hammer high
At the edge of the world

Bolts of lightning fills the air
as Mjölnir does it's work
the dreadfull serpent roars in pain

Thor! Odin's son
Protector of mankind
Ride to meet your fate
Your destiny awaits
Thor! Hlödyn's son
Protector of mankind
Ride to meet your fate

Mighty Thor grips the snake
Firmly by its tongue
Lifts his hammer high to strike
Soon his work is done

Bleeding to the depth
Twilight of the thundergod
Ragnarök awaits
Twilight of the thunder god
Twilight of the thunder god
Twilight of the thunder god
Twilight of the thunder god

amon amarth - north sea storm

Above my heads mighty men battle
Flashing blades rip through the air
Cracking shields with rumbling thunder
Rolling over the waves

Blood pours like rain onto the sea
As it wind-whipped foams
Warlords in shining helmets
Send men screaming to their death

Clouds of black cover the sea
Day turns into night
Infinite darkness beckons me
No more sun, no more light

Ships tied stern to stern
A battle on the north sea waves
Hearts of braves brightly burn
Berserks swing their metal-blades

Battle hammers hit with force
Crushing helmet coveres heads
Dying men tumble over board
Foaming waves colored red

Memories invade my mind
As my harness brings me down

My bodie's getting cold and numb
As the ocean pulls me down

Above my head my brave friends battle
Their flashing blades rip through the air
Sending men screaming to join me
As I die in these cold north sea waves

amon amarth - viking christmas

Most of the year we are but heathens
Sailing, fighting, plundering and crushing skulls
We confess to fight for odin, we pretend to be his horde
But when the year draws to an end things get kind of bizarre
Chorus: When it's christmas, viking christmas, I have tears in my eyes
When I remember my childhood days and all those christmas eves

A sparkling tree, marveling eyes and all those presents
I can still smell the roast and gingerbread
Nobody can escape the magic of christmas
Raw meat and wild berries, goat milk and sticky mead
Are the viking's culinary desires
But when christmas is drawing near
We switch to a very different diet

Chorus: When it's christmas, viking christmas, I have tears in my eyes
When I remember my childhood days and all those christmas eves
A sparkling tree, marveling eyes and all those presents
I can still smell the roast and gingerbread
Nobody can escape the magic of christmas

Bridge: Viking christmas, it's viking christmas
Officially we despise any of those christian customs
But in secrecy we can't flee the christmas spell
I bet you can't imagine how sentimental we can be
Bearded vikings reenact the nativity scene

Chrous: When it's christmas, viking christmas, I have tears in my eyes
When I remember my childhood days and all those christmas eves
A sparkling tree, marveling eyes and all those presents
I can still smell the roast and gingerbread
Nobody can escape the magic of christmas

amon amarth - wrath of the norsemen

My head hurts like hell
Can't open my eyes
My clothes are all wet
And i'm freezing right through

Don't know where i am
Or how to get home
My arms feel so numb
And it's hard to get up

My muscles they ache
With every move
I stand on my feet
But my knees fell so weak

Somebody wake me!
From this horrible dream!
Somebody save me!
From this terror i feel!

I stumble around
On the soft muddy ground
I call out the name
Of the friends i can't find

But only the wind
And the ravens reply
With every gasp
With every breath

Smoke fills my lungs
And my intestines wrench
With every gasp
The sweet taste of death

The air is full of a thick
Pungent stench
So comes the rain
It's colder than ice

I wash off my face
And open my eyes
And then i see
But wish i were blind

They are all dead
There's blood everywhere
The norsemen they left
Only death and despair

A stench of flesh
That fills the autumn air
Somebody wake me!
From this horrible dream!

Somebody save me!
From this terror i feel!
No one can save me!
From this horrible dream!

No one can hear me!
Or my heartrending
Screams!

amon amarth - arson

They came riding at first light
Fifty men armed to the teeth
The sounding horn called us out to fight
We went to meet them in the fields

Outnumbered yet we fought
But soon we were overrun
We took refuge in our home
Our downfall had just begun

They attacked our home, we kept them out
Defending ourselves with spear and bow
We took them out one by one
As the rising autumn sun glowed

There was twenty dead on each side
When we first smelled something burn
We heard them laughing from outside
Taunting us with spiteful words

They set the house on fire
In order to smoke us out
Only five of us was still alive
And our time was running out

Raging flames surrounded us all
Our home was under siege
Crumbling roof and burning walls
There was no way to break free

As we were all about to die
We swore a sacred oath
Revenge would be claimed if someone survived
And we sealed the oath in blood

The roof caved in and cleared a path
A way out of the flames
It was decided that I'd go first
As we made for our escaped

Suddenly the walls came down
And trapped the rest inside
My closest friends died that day
Only I made it out alive

amon amarth - death in fire

The wait is soon at end
Always charge never bend
Morning is here, make your stand
Live for honor, glory, death in fire!

Total war is here
Face it without fear
Age of sword, age of spear
Fight for honor, glory, death in fire!

See the fire rise
Flames are raging high
Soon all will burn and die
Burn for honor, glory, death in fire!

Storm of lethal flames
Only death remains
RagnarÔk is our fate
Die for honor, glory, death in fire!

Forces of chaos are on the move
Everyone, choose your side
And know the day is coming soon
The day for all to die

The day is here when Bifrost breaks
Nor sun or moon will rise
When the dead rise from their graves
and Surtur spreads his fire

All you know will wither away
And sink in to the sea
A new world will be born one day
Where everyone is free

[Lead SÔderberg]

Total war is here, face it without fear
Age of sword, age of spear
Fight for honor, glory, death in fire!

Storm of lethal flames
Only death remains - RagnarÔk is our fate
Die for honor, die for glory
Die, death in fire!

amon amarth - one thousand burning arrows

They bring him to the shore
His shop is ready made
He will not see them anymore
Here he cannot stay

The brotherhood is gathered
Their faces hard as stone
They have come to take farewell
In silence they mourn

"Our king has left our ranks
a wise and noble man
We owe him loyalty and thanks
He ruled with a steady hand

He will be missed by all
His heart has now been stilled
Tonight he'll dine in Odin's Hall
There he'll drink his fill"

The ship glides gently on the waves
As day turns into night
One thousand burning arrows
Fill the starlit sky

Two ravens on the longship
They spread their pitch-black wings
And lift up to the burning sky
A send-off for a king!

Into flames! The longship burst into flames!
Black smoke is rising high
To the eternal night

Into flames! The whole world burst into flames!
Nothing will be the same
Things will forever change

The flames are raging higher
They gnaw at wood and flesh
Soon the ship will break apart
And sink into the depth

This night we wait in silence
And when the morning breaks
Our king has left this world to walk
Through Valhalla's gates

amon amarth - the arrival of the fimbul winter

The bleak fimbul winter arrived
Raging across the world
With a fury that defied the memory of man
Terrible wars were fought,
The like has never been seen
Men slew without a thought
The ties of kinship were no more

Skoll and Hati, the ravenous wolves
Arose and devoured the son and the moon
Darkness descended upon the earth
And the stars fell from the skies
Loud blows Heimdall's horne in the air
Odin quests the head of Mim
Now shakes the holy ash where it stands
The ancient tree moans, Fenris breaks free

How are the Aesir?
How are the Alves?
Loud sounds Jotunheim
Aesir comspire
By the stonedoors dwarves are moaning
The mountains wise men
Know you now or not?

With his shield in hand
Hrym travels from the east
The serpent is turning, enormous in rage

The serpent breakes the waves
The eagle screams
Nidhogg's tearing corpses
Free comes Naglfar

Loke leads the legions of the dead
In holy war
Against the law made by Aesir

amon amarth - guardians of asgaard

Standing firm against all odds
Guarding the most sacred home
We protect the realm of gods
Our destiny is carved in stone

Three evil giants
Of the south
Are constantly on the attack

With lies and fire
From their mouths
But we always send them back

We are brothers
Of the north
Who are sharing the all father's blood

Marching down the left hand path
We are spawned by asagods
'Cause we are!

We're the guardians

amon amarth - god his son and holy whore

Serpent tongue speaks to me
Of a man from southern land
How ancient Gods are enemies
But I don't understand

Hippocritic voice of love talks of peace and christ
Blasphemer of Gods above
One thousand years of lies

They hold their swords to out throats
And force-feed us with faith
'Bout god, his son and holy whore
But now we retaliate

Prophets of a false believe talk with tongue of ice
Threaten us with hell beneath
Now we retaliate

Turn the blade around, put the oppressors down

Free yourselves from the chains
Of lies that hold you down
Arise to be free again
We'll fight till we have won

Priests of hippocratic love talk of peace and christ
Power is their only goal
Now they all shall die

Turn the blade around, put the oppressors down

Mess with us and you will feel
A pain so true yet so unreal

Yeah, use your hate, uncreate
Christian state will mee its fate

God, his son and holy whore
Now you will meet your fate

amon amarth - versus the world

One we were scum of the Earth
Now we've cleared our names
In Nifelheim came rebirth
Baptized in Mount Doom's flames
A decade now we've fought this war
Never yielding from our path
Our journeys take us to foreign shores
Where we let our metal blast
We've been battered and left for dead
We've been beaten and we have bled
But we always made it through - Vs the world
This may be our last quest
Before we're put to rest
The end is coming soon - Vs the world
Warriors of the grave tooks us south
Hell bent on genocide
They made us face the brutal truth
This would be no easy ride
Grotesque creatues of the sky
Met with us on winter fields
Christian god cast aside - Massacre of hallowed eve
We've been battered and left for dead
We've been beaten and we have bled
But we always made it through - Vs the world
This may be our last quest
Before we're put to rest
The end is coming soon - Vs the world
Persian demons brought us south
On merciless campaign
We've raided the western shores
Always going against the grain
All these years we've fought to win
And sometimes almost died
I tell you now we won't give in
Without a vicious fight
We've been battered and left for dead
We've been beaten and we have bled
Versus the world

amon amarth - abandoned

They came riding down the slopes
Five fearless men prepared to fight
We heard with fear the rumbling earth
In the mid-day light

Surprised we saw all terrified
The brave northmen's run
The fearless five with power ride
Attacking us in the mid-day sun

Their charge was fast, no alarm was sound
They broke right through our lines
I felt the cut it threw me to the ground
And now I feel has come my time

I lie here in my blood
And see my family get killed
I feel abandoned by my god
I fear death's chill

I see Hel's gates
Towering high
And dark are they
I don't want to die

Oh no! I was wrong
Denied the true Gods
And now I'm doomed
I trusted foreign men
And their god's son
But now when I need them
They are gone

I see Hel's gates
Towering high
And dark are they
I die!

They ride across the planes
And punish those of false belief
All resistance is in vain
As they caress them with cold steel

They are the punishers
And they will never bend
They are power the five of them
From Asgard they are sent

The power they have in all they do
The Christians non will feel
No one can escape them no
Them will make them kneel

Their fight is through, they must return
No one here survived
And as the blood red sky begins to burn
To Valhall they will ride

amon amarth - back on northern shores

A thick fog lies ahead
The ocean's deadly calm
Their ship glides on the silent waves
Into the unknown
He cannot turn around
For him it's much too late
He puts his back into the oar
And rows towards his fate

The ship cuts through
The milk white mist
Through the blind they clearly hear
The oar strokes of their mighty fleet
Battle's drawing near
His heart pounds loud and wild
He's waited for this day
Then suddenly a dragon's head
Appears out of the haze

Back on the Northern shores
Just as he once swore
He vowed to return
And to make them burn

Then a Northern wind picks up
It sweeps the mist away
A might viking fleet appears
Patiently they wait
"Death or victory!"
Words by which they stand
No turning back! In for the kill!
Led by thy command!

"All men grab your swords and shields
The enemies lay ahead!
We'll make this bay our battlefield
and fill the waves with dead!"
Darkness then descends
Day turns into night
A massive cloud of thousand arrows
Fills the misty sky

With violent force
The two fleets crash
The battle now begins
Cries of war as weapons clash
Uncertain who will win

Thunder rolls 'cross the waves
Lightning cracks the sky
Clouds release hail big as grapes
As arrows are let fly

Hear the berserks roar!
They call to mighty Thor!
The fury in their raging eyes
Will burn forever more
Hear the weapons sing!
Feel the arrows sting!
They climb onto the Earl's great ship
And begin to swing

The fight is fierce as they attack
With sword and axe, no guts, no glory!
Arrow pierced, they won't back down
They battle on with heart and fury
Then it turns
The flanking ships give way
And soon they are embattled
Standing firm! Fight 'til death!
They refuse to die like cattle

Fighting for his life
No holds barred
So close to revenge
Close but yet so far

Then he stands before him
It's like the battle fades
He sees his father's eyes
As he's struck into the waves

Back on Northern shores
Just as he once sword
He has met his fate
In these cold dark waves

He looks to clouds up high
A dead and distant stare
She comes out of the light
See the chariot flare
Standing on the shore
He hears her silent call
Freja leads him through the door
Into the great hall

amon amarth - live without regrets

From birth we're taught
How to survive
We're taught how war is waged

And there are no men now alive
Who stops our wild rampage
Light at heart we bide our bane
Whatever death await

Norsemen live without regrets
We accept our woven fate
So fearlessly we charge ahead
There is no time to hesitate

Don't despair, show no fear
Live you life without regrets
Don't despair and show no fear
In the face of a certain death!

A coward thinks he'll always live
If he keeps himself from strife;
Old age leaves no rest in peace
Though spears may spare his life

We don't mourn
A friend that fell
Or dread the day
We'll fall ourselves

Warriors don't go to hell
'Cause we know
Ygg will greet us well
So fearlessly we charge ahead

There is no time to hesitate
Don't despair, show no fear
Live you life without regrets
Don't despair and show no fear

In the face of a certain death!
So raise your horns
To those who died
Let's drink to

Fallen friends tonight
Let's celebrate their glory life
We'll meet again in Valhall...
...when we die!
