Immortal Lyrics: "Sons Of Northern Darkness" (2002)
One By One
Aeons ago the legends tell we rode onward
Led astray by the northern chaos god
Calm before the storm we came from the north...
Horses roamed in the open landscapes
The scald sang to their kings
Only he who battle wins
The 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 kingdoms of fear...
The might we possesses 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 god
One by one by the northern tribe you fall
One by one... die by the strongest of them all
Still there's only greatness sunged to those who fell
Who battled strong to win these wars...
One by one we took your lives
Grey mist swirl across the meadows...
Where battles once ruled the steps
Where the ancient armors of bronce...
Are buried and corroded by time
Strong where 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 this Battlefields ground...
Red where the rivers of blood
Unforgotten by the ones...
Born of strength and glory
Sons Of Northern Darkness
Riding through the blackfires of endless time
The icy dawn lifts with an horizon like nordens on fire
Still peace breathes throughout the realm...
This ride will be the one...
The morning sun gleam upon these peaceful plains...
Far beyond the realms of fire and ice
The 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 knows no fear
Who's eyes like fire - who's hearts like ice
Spirit rideth with the ones that knows no fear
They are the Sons of northern darkness
Wisdom rideth with the ones that knows no fear
As old as the northern wind blow
Blow over grim moors...
Gathered we all storm the land...
The sound of triumph in the air
The legions marches on...
Now hear the mighty battleblasts
Fly throughout the sky... set fire to the land
Fly throughout the sky... Sons of northern darkness
Tyrants
Armored horses gloves of steel
Silverblades... time to reveal
We're the tyrants that guard the land
Proud upon our gilded thrones
Servants of... our 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
Unconquerable 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... on their thrones
Immortal and invincible... the might lives on
Armies hovered across the lands
Here rolls the rivers of red
Beyond that has no man been
Armored horses gloves of steel
Silverblades... 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
Demonium
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 deaths wind through gates of the beyond
Red mark us pure and evil...
Black spirits hurt from here
The frozen squad descend...
The flame burn within
Death rides on demonwings...
Black spirits haunt from here
The frozen squad descend...
Demons until the end
Within The Dark Mind
The dark nights landscapes and only me
Seas and rivers high
Deeps and waterfalls
Massive mountains
Powerful mountains
Still only me
Where bergs and peaks throne
Cold beneath the moon
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 reverse the time... within the dark mind
Strength in it I find... within the dark mind
The dark nights horizons and only me
The shunning moonlit lights
The paths to forests wild
Massive sky powerful sky
Still 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
Within an evil mind
...flamed my heart will be
The dark minds 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 dimming of the sun
In My Kingdom Cold
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 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
Frozen and cold... an existence I do know...
In my kingdom cold I enter this condition
Open the gate... of a mountain of ice
Rising with the shadows... a 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
In my kingdom cold...
At the mountains of madness
Unending grimness...
These mountains which I heart
In my kingdom cold...
At the mountains of madness
Unending grimness this kingdom it is mine...
Antarctica
Gaping in the horizon
An entire continent cloached on ice
With giant icesheets constantly on the move
Seas of this continent so cold and invisible
Where icebergs move as monuments
Towards a dry damned earth
Behind the gates and mighty portals
Of the arctic polar circle
Builds the frozen layers of snow
A perfect platform to grow against the seasons
The snowbelts of Antarctica rise
With its dark polar winterstorms
Towering in the horizon
An entire continent cloached on ice
With giant icesheets constantly on the move
Floating nearer with its tide and icy waves
The shadow of Antarctica spreads
With its masses of permafrost
The clima shifts so colder for the icier age
Glaciers stretches for washing everything away
Antarctica... the darkest face of ice
Antarctica... the coldest place of all
Antarctica... massive and unconquerable
Its drama will unfold
Beyond The North Waves
On many ships we have sailed
Far beyond the north waves
On the high northern seas
We have found our way
The shadowing voiced of our gods
Signing on the calling wind...
Where the cold waves and the longboats brought us far
The saga of the warriors from northland
Speaks of greatness and strength
The saga of the warriors from northland
Are the saga of many great man
On seas against the open
We traveled on and on
Through the raging winds
And storms we arrived
The shadowing voices of our gods
Signing on the calling wind...
Where the cold waves and the longboats brought us far
With sword in hand I now stand
On my enemies land
With a northern heart
I will fight until the day I 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
Breathing in winds...
From the essence of roaring horizon
Breathing in winds...
From the cold sea call the shores of the north
