Victory Songs lyrics by Ensiferum

1. Ad Victoriam

2. Blood Is The Price Of Glory

Before the grimmest enemy Cold rain whipping those proud faces Warriors raising their spirits Despising death as they rush forward Blood of the brothers drains to the ground stirring up rage, giving them power Trampling the enemy with their feet Without fear they fight Can you hear the call of the North Star? Feel its longing in your heart This bond is eternal sworn through blood At the end we will stand as one! Even if the daylight dies Our horde marches on and on If we should fall down to the ground We'll rise again and never give up! But for some it's all too much This honorable battle and bloodshed They feel like a swarm of craven rats Leaving their brothers to a certain death The last furious men They didn't fear death or pain They held up their swords and shields As winners they stood on the battlefield Can you hear the call of the North Star? Feel its longing in your heart This bond is eternal sworn through blood At the end we will stand as one! Even if the daylight dies Our horde marches on and on If we should fall down to the ground We'll rise again and never give up! Run away, you cowards, we turn our backs on you, The shame that now tains your name will only brighten our glory Those who fight till their last breath and fall with honour Their names and deeds shall live forever Never to be forgotten "No axe stayed in your weak hand No shield protected you from the blows of enemies Get out of our sight The war has no need for traitors" Can you hear the call of the North Star? Feel its longing in your heart This bond is eternal sworn through blood At the end we will stand as one! Even if the daylight dies Our horde marches on and on If we should fall down to the ground We'll rise again and never give up!

3. Deathbringer From The Sky

High above the ground Beyond the thunderclouds A black shade is flying alone Once so feared among men Now the legend is becoming too old But finally the horrifying truth is about to unfold Death bringer from the sky Hunting victims in the night Feel the terror, as flames are burning bright There is no tower as high or cave so deep That can save you from its endless spite So bow down and face your wretched destiny A den filled with treasures and gold No longer calms his spirit so cold Again it s time to spread the wings of doom A growl shakes the ground Flames blind men and smoke covers the stars As he rises towards an ancient sky The era of total chaos will arrive Men shall flee in fear My name will haunt their mortal souls I'll burn their flesh and I'll crush their bones Your screams can't make me feel pity or regret I only feel furious hatred With fire my domination is gained Shall burn away and let my kind rule the world again

4. Ahti

At the time of sundown Nature bathes in colours In silence it waits For the approaching force In the halls of Ainola The true king of dark waters Lurks with his mistress Under the waves of a blue lake Dwells the mighty Ahti! Sailors praise the glorious name The ruler of tides: Ahti! At the shores of a northern land Pray mortal men Destruction for the arrogant fools A reward for humble souls The great lurker of the seas Is pleased of the sacrifice The waters are calm Today no storm shall rise! Under the waves of a blue lake Dwells the mighty Ahti! Sailors praise the glorious name The ruler of tides: Ahti! Foreign ship filled with infidels They didn't listen to the northern men From a dead calm storm will rise And they'll face the wrath of the sea Take care that your heir Don't turn out too proud Or your bloodline will drown into a vast ocean Under the waves of a blue lake Dwells the mighty Ahti! Sailors praise the glorious name The ruler of tides: Ahti!

5. One More Magic Potion

Once when we were returning from a battle We got lost in a gloomy forest in the middle of the woods we saw an old house with tired minds we knocked the door very loudly Old woman opened the wooden door She asked us to come in with kind words From her pot arose a scent so weird Stunning and bitter but very summoning Bring me a magic potion it will heal my aching wounds A taste so bitter that makes my bleeding soul feel so good It will make us sing and dance in our endless feast Or it might even unleash the beast in me She filled out pints with that devils beverage And served another round with an hideous grin The world was spinning in a new light I saw everything and everyone was singing this song With nature, trolls and the spirits of the forest We are one; let our singing rise up into the stars The witch's magic drum was still beating hard When a goblin brought me a new pint and together we roared Drink and dance! People of the forest sing with us! Who wants to brawl with me? Who can shape a kantele from a pike's jaw? Like the great one once did Close your eyes Calm your mind and drift away from the pain Beyond dreams Into the depths of the cauldron Like a rain it falls And mirrors nature's healing powers Surrender this time And relief you shall find Catcher of souls hunter of spirits Grant us the final frop of the life's elixir I want to drown all my misery Into the green trolls blood And brown swamp drink Fight against diminishing time Burden of a solitary warrior's life Bring me a magic potion it will heal my aching wounds A taste so bitter that makes my bleeding soul feel so good It will make us sing and dance in our endless feast Or it might even unleash the beast in me

6. Wanderer

In time bleeding wounds will heal Unlike some which are too deep to see Like scars in a nomad's soul Their mending is so slow Not the shout of a hundred enemies Can make me feel fear inside me But when sun sets and the cold arrives With crushing solitude in the darkness of night He will ride across land and time To find a way through this endless night There's a storm in his heart and the fire burns his soul But the wanderer's part is to ride alone With bare hands he has taken many lives He's had a hundred women by his side From tending woods through the freezing north He's known on every sea and far beyond As the moon grows and the circle is complete He lies down and waits for sleep But there's always a scenery in his mind Of all the beauty he once left behind He will ride across land and time To find a way through this endless night There's a storm in his heart and the fire burns his soul But the wanderer's part is to ride alone

7. Raised By The Sword

Oh, who is raised by the sword can't be beaten Who is toughened by the fire can't be burned Awaited by immortality Are the ones sacrificing their lives To blood, to victory, to the truth As ye sow, as shall ye reap We will turn your fields into death shining Our blades smash all down Guidance of cold winds We complete the ancient rule Each of us was created to kill Hail the wisest ones You have walked the severe and harsh path To the almighty crown Soon the lost riddles will be solved Once and for all As the ageless earth praises your sword As ye sow, as shall ye reap We will turn your fields into death shining Our blades smash all down Guidance of cold winds We complete the ancient rule Each of us was created to kill Oh, raise the wind Oh, open up earth Oh, wild waters flood And flames burn the ruins they own Burn all and everything they own Now let your prayers fade The weak ones will meet their gruesome fate Loyal minds will not break The bold people of war Have raised to get their victory You depend on our mercy Who is raised by the sword can t be beaten Who is toughened by the fire can t be burned Await the final challenges Our everlasting loyalty Will never break The bold people of war Have raised their swords

8. The New Dawn

Through the storm and the wind we ride Leaving it all far behind Another war is straight ahead This fight will give us all None shall live they all will fall When the new dawn arises, we stand tall Fight! For a new dawn Ride! And kill them all Fight! For a new dawn Rise! Now is the dawn Feel your strength and let it rise Hear the call of their demise Let them feel your steel Have faith my friend, this is not the end Our time is near, we feel your fear 'Cause we will... Fight! For a new dawn Ride! And kill them all Fight! For a new dawn Rise! Now is the dawn Nothing can stop us now As we march towards the final fight And we shall see the light Our swords are taking lives Giving us what is ours Now the new dawn arises And we all... Fight! For a new dawn Ride! And kill them all Fight! For a new dawn Rise! And we stand tall

9. Victory Song

The plan of invasion and evil deception Was made in the halls of the dark kingdom To steal their riches to slay them all To make them kneel for a new god The guard woke up the sleeping men With a sound of a bronze horn The enemy is getting closer So brace yourselves for assault Swords in their hands they killed each and every man Who dared to invade their sacred land Victory songs are rising in the night Telling all of their undying strength and might Arrows are raining from the sky As brothers fight side by side We, we were outnumbered But your destiny is to win Fight, fight with the rage of a bear.... Defend, our homeland... Crush, crush every enemy.... And seal, our victory.... Swords in their hands they killed each and every man Who dared to invade their sacred land Victory songs are rising in the night Telling all of their undying strength and might Ei urhot kaukaisen pohjolan Uhan eessä taipuneet Jälleen pauhaa kansi taivahan Veri valuu maahan lumiseen Moni nähdä ei saa enää huomista Moni jää heitä kaipaamaan Jälkipolville jää maa rauhaisa Voiton laulut soi ainiaan Voiton laulut soi ainiaan! Swords in their hands they killed each and every man Who dared to invade their sacred land Victory songs are rising in the night Telling all of their undying strength and might Telling all of their undying strength and might
