Like snowstorms veiled the mountainside time has buried my soul

Darkness all around my heart yawns from eyes like empty holes

No candle lights up this lonely way through the seas of frozen tears

Forgotten gods I call to you from the dawn of my years

Of glorious times long gone whispered the chilly northern breeze

I felt the surge inside my veins as I walked between these trees

Cryptic symbols cut by ancient ones hidden in their shadow's night

Led me back to where my soul once lived, I understood their might

Sleeping priest deep in the tomb, thy wisdom I seek

By thunders voice now raise and seal our eternal league

Reconsecrate that sacrificial stone, traitors shall atone

Their blood may be my gift up to the gods, the sun will bleach their bones

Lend me, Thonar, the might I need by the amulet I wear

Hold your strong hand above my tribe and those ones who me dear

The winds take to the sky my calls of the prayers which I spoke

Flying up to my king's bright hall with the sacrificial smoke

Where our sanctuaries stood one day, more than thousand years ago

I almost hear the silent words from the gravemounds below

When time has drunk all thy brothers blood and fimbulwinter eats our land

One blazing will be seen on high, the ancestors' descent

Ghostlike horsemen, stormy winds and clatter of steel

Holy secrets kept by them for you will reveal

The day will come we will join as one in his kingdom across the sea

When I leave my carnal gaol and this world of blasphemy

Black clouds grow from my sacrifice that I have burned in hallowed place

Fly, smoke, where the eagles reign by the sun's last golden rays

Fly, smoke, where the eagles reign by the sun's last golden rays
