REPER (Baldr's dreams)
Music and lyrics by Drakhen for BLOODSHED WALHALLA
Together were the esir
all in council,
and the femas
all in conference,
and they consulted,
the mighty gods,
why Balder had
oppressive dreams.
Fire and wickedness in my thoughts. Premonitory dreams of death.
Prisoner within the walls of my mind. The gods are deciding for me.
In the night he assails me, At night she kills me.
Please save my soul, father of all, mother awaken my dreams!
Nobody will touch the son of war, beings and creatures of the nine worlds.
You all have to promise, water and fire, iron and metals and with them all the stones.
All beasts with their poison and all existing things, gather in a circle of fire.
My son is a God, he is not afraid of death. Have fun with him in a circle in the woods!
Reper reaper reaper, reaper in the silence of the night!
Raper reaper reaper, reaper of the silence of my soul!
In the halls of heaven. Crows are flying up high.
The Aesir were in a circle. every creature was there!
The God was in the middle. Everyone threw something at hihim.
In the middle of te night, in the house of the gods, the oath had been established by all!
Wrath and hatred were hidden in the hall.
Lies and deceptions like the fire of hell.
Someone has not sworn an oath
Something had betrayed.
Loki the god of lies found him in the hall.
Liar and traitor, you killed my son.
Reper reaper reaper, reaper in the silence of the night!
Raper reaper reaper, reaper of the silence of my soul!
Uprose Odin
lord of men
and on Sleipnir
he the saddle laid;
rode thence down
to Niflhome.
A dog he met,
from Helhome coming.
Bloody he was
on his breast before,
at the father of magic
he howled from afar;
forward rode Odin,
the earth resounded
till the house so high
of Hel he reached.
You all cry for me, I'm dead.
For my honor and revenge it will be done.
You all cry for me in the nine worlds.
For my honor and revenge it will be done.
In my dreams there is darkness,
in my thoughts only death.
This silence kills my mind. And you see it ...
Mother of all Gods only you can save me from this suffering.
Only you can help me in the dark.
Only the dark, only the death, only the madness.
Only the flames, only the silence, and you will see ...
You will cry for me, only the glory, after death.
Only the dark and only the silence and you will see ...
He was blind under the ground
and I walked on the ashes of the warriors and horses of my race.
The snake crawled on my bare feet,
I could hear its hissing in my head.
He called me and killed me, I slowly died.
Only the dark, only the death, only the madness.
Only the flames, only the silence, and you will see ...
You will cry for me, only the glory, after death.
Only the dark and only the silence and you will see ...
We are gathered here in the great hall of the gods.
Fire and Ice come together in the skies.
Swords and hammers, spears will be thrown at you.
You will not feel any pain on your skin.
Father of all, bless your son and his life!
You all cry for me, I'm dead.
For my honor and revenge it will be done.
You all cry for me in the nine worlds.
For my honor and revenge it will be done.
I will rise to be reborn.
We will sit on the golden throne.
We will toast and fight again for our land.
My sword and your mighty spear will rise.
For our glory and revenge it will be done.
Only the dark. Only death. In his sacred dreams.
Only the voice, only the tears, can save him from Hell.
Only one Life had not sworn to the Goddess Frigg.
The deceiver was there, hidden in the dark, in the profound wickedness of his mind.
Sadness and cruelty. Envy and falsehood.
The sun was high in the sky and the God Baldr sat quietly on the clouds.
The world revolved around him, and everything took on a shape in the hall!
And they threw weapons and stones, large sticks and hammers, and he did not blink.
Above his head and on his legs, on his bare chest. And they threw fire and ice.
Fire and ice. Gold and stones. The mistletoe has not sworn!
The seer was awakened from her black grave.
Odin cunningly questioned her three more times.
The blind god will kill your beloved son. Under the black world. Sits with his bride!
Loki god of lies made the tip of a spear with the treacherous plant.
Hodr, the blind god, victim of fate, threw it on the naked body of the good God
The God fell dead. His body was laid and burned in the sea with his bride.
The storm darkens the sky and everyone cried. Fire and ice again joined in the sky..
Fire and ice. Gold and stones. The mistletoe has not sworn!
Only the dark, only the death, only the madness.
Only the flames, only the silence, and you will see ...
You will cry for me, only the glory, after death.
Only the dark and only the silence and you will see ...
You will cry for me, only the glory, in the day after death.
Sleipnir rode as fast as the wind to the black lands of Hel.
He leapt over the nine gates. Hermóðr was his faithful guide.
The dog was there, at the entrance to Éljúðnir. Bloody.
Queen of the underworld, I ask you to grant life to the dead God.
Thunder and rain after the dance of black death.
Everyone wept for God. At the behest of the Queen of Hel.
Legend says that only one being did not obey.
And the prophecy come true.
Reper reaper reaper, reaper in the silence of the night!
Raper reaper reaper, reaper of the silence of my soul!
Men and beasts of all creation will die.
Trees and stones will burn for a long time.
I will never be able to be born again.
Only dark in these my dreams of death
Fathet, put your hand on my head. Save me from her and from this hell.
Mother, untie your golden hair on me. Save me from her and from this hell.
Brother, I am with you and with your sword. Save me from her and from this hell.
Sister, let me hear your sweet voice. Save me from her and from this hell.
Save me from her and from this hell.
Only in the dark, only for death, only this madness.
Only the flames, only in the silence and you will see ...
You will cry for me, only the glory, on the day after death.
Only in the dark and only in the silence and you will see ...
You will cry for me after my death, after this madness.
You will cry for me and me for you, after my death.
Only in the dark, only the flames, only the Hell.

HERMÒDR
Music and Lyric by Drakhen for BLOODSHED WALHALLA
He rode for nine long nights without seeing daylight.
Until tired he arrived on the golden bridge.
Tell me why you're going to black Hel
I'm riding on this path that leads to the land of the dead.
I can find there the son of Odin. Tell me if you've seen him in this lands.
He passed through here and headed to the north.
And he rode the gray horse day and night.
For dark and deep valleys in the fog.
As the wind blew over Hel's nine gates.
Tall and proud he stood before the door.
There his brother was sitting.
Above a throne of white bones.
His royal bride by his side.
Now they were son of the death.
The night was cold in those lands, but he fell asleep.
The following morning he appeared before the black queen.
Let him go back to his home with this gray horse.
Let him go back to his people in his homeland.
I ask you queen of tears and of the dead.
The night does not end in the land of Hel.
Wandering souls and warriors who lied.
The night does not end in the land of Hel.
The misty paths of gloomy and dying light.
The night does not end in the land of Hel.
Dwelling of the dead. Hidden in the dark twilight.
The night does not end in the land of Hel.
You will cry the queen in this night.
I am the queen of the night and you will listen to me here within these bare walls.
If the God Baldr is truly loved as you say, everyone will have to cry.
Fire and ice, metals and all stones, Trees and beasts must cry and then pray.
Bring this message to your world, son of Odin and never go back to these lands.
Get out. Never go back to this land again.
Hermóðr son of the one who walks the world.
He hugged his brother and wife and left. Odin's horse whinnied and flew away.
He returned to Asgard and told the Gods everything he had seen and heard down there in those lands.
The night does not end in the land of Hel.
Wandering souls and warriors who lied.
The night does not end in the land of Hel.
The misty paths of gloomy and dying light.
The night does not end in the land of Hel.
Dwelling of the dead. Hidden in the dark twilight.
The night does not end in the land of Hel.
You will cry the queen in this night.
The messengers went to every corner of the world.
All living and should not have mourned the dead God.
Everyone did it, in the world, in the sea and in the sky.
Fire and mountain stones mourned the God.
The Men, the beasts, fire, metals and stones.
Fire, metals and stones.
The trees, the snow, the north wind.
Dry tears will be shed. Þǫkk will cry on the pyre of the dead God.
Neither in life nor in death gave he me gladness. Let Hel keep what she has!
The giantess refused to cry for the God.
It is said that she was Loki. With cunning and lie.
He will be punished for his crimes and cunning lies.
Then he fled and hid in the mountains, in his silence.
The god Baldr remained forever in the black Hel.
In that silence he remained forever.
And in the dark he ended forever.
In silence and darkness of Hel.

THE PREY
Music and Lyric by Drakhen for BLOODSHED WALHALLA
In those sad days, in their heads. The gods were crying and drinking wine.
The clouds were dark and fall to the ground. The hammer pounded like a tunderstruck
All men were praying to the dying good God. Beasts and fire, plants and stones.
Their scream of pain was lacerating. The world was wrapped in a storm.
The Gods were angry. Loki was waiting, he had to be punished. It had to be done.
He fled far away, into the woods, he fled to a mountain, and built a house there.
He built four doors there, one on each side, so he could see out everywhere.
He knew how to see through the waters of the river. Very far into the woods.
The mountain was snowy everywhere.
He thought about how they could find him there.
The gods were now close. And he knew it.
In those sad days, in their heads. The gods were crying and drinking wine.
The clouds were dark and fall to the ground. The hammer pounded like a tunderstruck
All men were praying to the dying good God. Beasts and fire, plants and stones.
Their scream of pain was lacerating. The world was wrapped in a storm.
One day he was sitting in the house on the mountain and the thoughts were as dark as nightmares at night.
The fire was lit in the stone fireplace. The snow fell copiously and whitened the peaks.
When he realized that he was being hunted, he fled to the river and dived.
The gods were deceived and went to the shore. They were finally close to their prey.
He came from the north, the God of Thunder, to catch the black layer. To stop the great dark.
They surrounded the prey, down to the sea. But Loki was shrewd. He slipped away
Let's split into two groups,
me in the north and you in the south,
let's use our strength this time. Let's catch the prey now.
This is what we want.
Avenge the god Baldr.
Death to the reaper.
Let's catch the prey now.
The mountain was snowy everywhere.
He thought about how they could find him there.
The gods were now close. And he knew it.
In those sad days, in their heads. The gods were crying and drinking wine.
The clouds were dark and fall to the ground. The hammer pounded like a tunderstruck
All men were praying to the dying good God. Beasts and fire, plants and stones.
Their scream of pain was lacerating. The world was wrapped in a storm.
He ran away again. He fled to the sea. But the sky is now far away.
Thor grabbed him by the tail, and didn't let him get away. So Loki the liar was imprisoned by the Gods.
He was taken to a cave.
The Asir walled it with three stones.
Each large stone had a hole.
He was tied with Narfi's guts to the three stones.
The guts became like of iron and stone.
Then they took a poisonous snake.
They tied him over his head.
So the poison dripped on his face
making him scream in pain.
The liar screamed and squirmed in pain. In his eternal pain.
He was imprisoned in a cave. In his eternal pain.
The poison fell on the face. In his eternal pain.
He was chained to three stones. In his eternal pain.
A violent earthquake broke out.
Victims of fate and black death.
Iron and gold melt in swords.
He will remain in the cave until that day arrives.
The prophecy of Ragnarok will come.
The day of destruction will come.
The prophecy of Ragnarok will come.
The day of destruction will come.
The history of the world will be told.
He will free himself on that dark day.

AFTHER THE END
Music and Lyric by Drakhen for BLOODSHED WALHALLA
Questions, everyone asks them and wants the truth.
Lies or truths, only the gods can know. But if you want to believe, you must have faith.
After the end of everything, the fallen land will emerge from the sea and return green and shining as before.
The fields will be lush of trees and fruit. In all lands. Many will return from the ashes of the final battle in the great halls of sky.
Great halls await us.
Good and bad great halls in the sky.
They are adorned with red gold.
Only fearless men dwell there.
Other homes are horrible.
With the giant doors facing north.
They are built with poisonous snake bones
Intertwined like canes of huts.
This hall is far from the sun.
Its giant gates facing north.
Drops of poison fall.
Home to murderers and liars.
After the end of everything, the fallen land will emerge from the sea and return green and shining as before.
The fields will be lush of trees and fruit. In all lands. Many will return from the ashes of the final battle in the great halls of sky.
Someone asks questions.
Will any good God survive?
Will there be a land and a sky?
Will there be a sequel to the days?
Will there be the sea and the stars?
Will there still be mountains and great woods?
All the beasts and all the stones.
Will there be all that was there before?
What will be after the end?
Will men see the stars again?
There will be many legends
and many will be told.
From the great war, the sons of the god of thunder will return to the heavenly lands.
Móði and Magni will bring the hammer back, and the sky will thunder again.
Baldr and Hǫðr will also return from the dark and fallen kingdom of Hel.
Everyone will sit on the thrones up high. The runes will speak again.
On the throne up high
After the end
When the runes will tell...again
After the end of everything, the fallen land will emerge from the sea and return green and shining as before.
The fields will be lush of trees and fruit. In all lands. Many will return from the ashes of the final battle in the great halls of sky.
After the end I will ride in the sky. On the clouds and on the sun to the ends of the world.
After the end, I will blow the horn. I will sit in the sky with my fathers on the thrones of the Gods.
After the end, many legends will be told.
Of giants and liars of the father of all
Everyone will tell about the end of the gods.
How all creation was swallowed up from hell.
The clouds are gathering in the sky. Blood will be shed tonight.
The hordes of Muspell are now close to the battlefield. They go to the bridge.
They ride and destroy, in the twilight of blood. At the end of the storm
Heimdall the guardian with the power of his golden horn rises mighty in the sky
Odin is now in the jaws of the wolf and will never return.
The clouds are gathering in the sky. Blood will be shed tonight.
After the end I will ride in the sky. On the clouds and on the sun to the ends of the world.
After the end, I will blow the horn. I will sit in the sky with the Gods!
Giants and serpents, creatures of Hel.
Long tongues of fire envelop the woods.
Great lost ruins now dissolved in ash.
Sharp wind like so many swords of bones of the shattered dead.
After the end I will ride far from here.
Above the mountains and boundaries of the earth.
I will fly through the dark lands in search of revenge
Without remorse, i will march on the victims of Hel.
The clouds are gathering in the sky. Blood will be shed tonight.
After the end I will ride in the sky. On the clouds and on the sun to the ends of the world.
After the end, I will blow the horn. I will sit in the sky with my fathers on the thrones of the Gods.
After the end I will ride in the sky. On the clouds and on the sun to the ends of the world.
After the end, I will blow the horn. I will sit in the sky with the Gods!
After the end of the gods.
Nobody will have to doubt the gods.
Everyone will give a name to their Gods.
The gods of the runes and of war.
Everyone will give a name to their Gods.
The gods of the runes and of war.
GODS OF WAR

This band captures a rare Viking magic that Ensiferum had on their first album and only recently recaptured. Every bit of the runtime is filled with energy and interest, making the 60 minutes fly by like half that. No going through the motions here, only passion. They deserve a spot in the big leagues of pagan/Viking metal.
