I raise my axe to the sky Praise the northern gods We prepare; Hundred or more For the coming fight Us the men from Asa Bay Land of Blood on Ice On we charge into hell there will be no end Men around me fall like leaves nothing can be done still we fight with surtur’s flame They shall die I fear nothing , fight 'till death Odin’s might is guarding me I may die but my soul will live on Odin’s might is guiding me With the strength of one thousand men I crush them with my steel I see the fear in their eyes I feel so alive I’ve been stabbed in the back It’s a mortal wound I say farewell without fear and kill another man I lay here on this cold wet sand I know what will become I have no fears, or regrets I have lived a long life I see the Valkyries coming from the sky Odin’s might has guided me all of my life I raise to the hall up high, and see my fallen kin Odin’s might has led me to Valhalla

In a time of blood and fire Before the break of dawn Mighty swords were held to the sky In a land that rules by darkness Of evil and fire spawned Damnation now eclipsed the sun Black horsemen rode along with Death upon their side So the scene of death rose the winds In black blood they shall baptise And under a black star the demon will rise In a time of blood and fire They rode across the lands In a time of blood and fire Under wings of yore they shelter A thousand years have passed now Oh, so grim and dark Now men must laude the demon's mark Servants of unholy powers In darkness must confide To the abyss in the darkness they descend Black horsemen rode along with Death upon their side So the scene of death rose the winds In black blood they shall baptise And under a black star the demon will rise In a time of blood and fire They rode across the lands In a time of blood and fire Under wings of yore they shelter Black horsemen rode along with Death upon their side So the scene of death rose the winds In black blood they shall baptise And under a black star the demon will rise In a time of blood and fire They rode across the lands In a time of blood and fire Under wings of yore they shelter

A land which angels dare to tread I have been left for dead Forsaken by my god in this land My pain shall never end Fallen angels of doom surround me, Tormenting my soul Bleak and scorched earth, fill my view A desolate place for my end. A figure in the distance Approaches me Cold, endless frost covers this ground, Griping to my very life Chaos; a portent to my doom as the world seems decayed. My life has been to the point of this damnation cast upon my soul

Asa Land 07:19
New day breaks over this land, The sun from the east Rises high, illuminates All of Asa Bay Men in great numbers call Up to Odens Hall Today they sail to strange lands Oden watch them all The long ships sail across The cold blackened sea Midsummer has passed us by Odens ravens shall fly We are with out our men, The greatest swordsman seen The chief’s son and I a smith 12 men behind Our father quest shall bring Great riches for our homes Conquest of Greenland Settling a new land Ten moons pass, since men have sailed And Asa is under siege An attack from the east A Slavic planned assault I rally the men which we have left Hoping to put up fight Asator fight with us, Protect our Nordic clan With mjolnir around my neck I smash their heads in two The clash of steel, on this field Fallen fathers proud Outnumbered we will be If they continue towards Strength of Thor, Might of Oden, Will guide our steel The Slavic’s push with countless men, Determined to take this land We are down, two to one But we will never yield The bastards fall by my blade By tens in front of me All father give me strength Fight till I fall I charge forward straight into The eye of the storm My battle cry freezes men, Dead in their path Back they fall to their ships Running for their lives I feel the strength of asator Running through my blood Many men, were lost today In a glory fight We shall see that they recieve Burials fit for kings Tonight, we celebrate A costly victory Countless, bards will sing Of attack on Asa Bay

Freedom 07:20
Scottish men united under one common flag Fighting for the freedom of this land Now, arise Men of Scotland We shall stand till our freedoms won Our true king alongside us killing English men The bastards stand opposed to us at Bannockburn. We, have been oppressed for far too long, Now we stand together 'till death I draw my sword and pierce the skin, straight through the heart The Scottish steel penetrates that bastard Englishman The bastards blood covers my blade, it’s a darkened red I turn around and force it through the head of a man Now, arise. Men of Scotland We shall fight for our freedom Countless men will fall here, but we shall never fear. Wallace is in our hearts, we won’t lose this fight. We must protect our king, from those damn riding men. Raise our shields up high, to block their spear attacks. You have bled with Wallace, Now bleed with me. I drop the sword and shield, and grab my steel claymore. Swinging with all my might, I cut men in two. When they turn and run, our freedom will be won. The highlands time is now, England will never rule. You have bled with Wallace, Now bleed with me.
