| 1. Dragons Of The North
As blood for wolves for riches and lust
Onward with hammers to chest
Villages burn, burn citys to dust
And for fun they tortue the rest
Cold, blue steel through a nice day's breast
An avalanche of heathnes set sail
To show to the world of which men is beast
To con |

Daragons Of The North является классическим образчиком Viking Metall'a, сохраняющим эпичность стиля, атмосферность музыки и брутальность северных битв. На данный момент это лучший альбом Einherjer'a, во всяком случае мне кажется именно так.
Компакт открывает длиннющая песня Dragon Of The North в общих чертах воспевающая боевой путь викингов, несущихся на драккарах через северные волны. Собственно живописание викингской жизни и составляет костяк данного CD. Например вторая песня - Dreamstorm повествует о воине, медленно дрейфующем через вековые туманы к воротам Валгаллы. Третья - Conqueror о великом завоевателе и т.д. и т.п, что должна ориентировать современных Норвежцев на повторение жизненного пути знаменитых предков.
Dragons Of The North содержит в себе несколько потрясающе атмосферных треков, после которых хочется немедленно отправиться на великие подвиги, или учинить тотальное берсерчество. Данному настроению способствует не только эпическая мелодия, выводимая Frode Glesnes'ом сотоварищи на гитарах, но и злобный вокал, воим видимо воют разные бестии в царстве богини Хель.
Вообщем занятная штука, в результате чего я ставлю ей... |

Odin is working to eagerly form
A great heathen fist from the north
Pray for your life when there's signs of a storm
But praying won't help when the dragons com forth
Roaming the bow, the berserks, the fierce
They know not fear of pain
Women and children are swimming in tears
While the berserks are going insane
Scholared embodies by blood and the mound
The clink of sword sound death chord
Bearslough and wolfslough are shaking the ground
Embraced by might, great northern horde
Odin, great warlord, I greed you with hail
This new god is weaker of class
Grant me thy powers, your secrets unveil
And I'll kick this christ right in the ass
2. Dreamstorm
For ages I have drifted
Through storms & mists of grey
With knowledge I've been gifted
path to lead me way
Alone in realms of shadows
My solitude I seek
I poison therefore my arrow
aim it at the weak
Silently I welcome
The glorious mis of dreams
Time to send the heroes home
Their end justify my means
Dawn of death, tears of chaos
Echoes in my mind
It pleased me, I am satisfied
Closing in on death's desire
Through I am not alone
With me comes my fear & fire
a destiny unknown
My twilight affects me
Drifting still in dreams
A gate appears in front of me
Weary visions floats in streams
Come my winds - My Dreamstorm
Soon shall I forever sleep
Pale have I become
Who shall for my fading weep
For faded I have done
3. The Forever Empire
I still dream of paradise
I still wake up crying
I've seen the sun, of tomorrow rise
I felt like I was dying
I still dream of forever
I still see me wave
From the deepest pits of never
Another soul to save
I still long for the sun to rise
I still fear the dark
I've seen the signs of our last goodbyes
Another submerging ark
In bitterness I've tasted my tears
A burnt out soul of emptiness
I loneliness I've touched my fears
closed my eyes for hopelessness
Sail the waves of lunacy
Bring my presence out of never
The forever waves of my time to be
I set my sails for forever
Sail the waves of silent sea
In empty winds under rainbow fire
The forever winds won't let me be
Wake me up from my forever empire
I am my paradise
Through my damnation you'll fall
I am the wise
In my eternity I am all
You ask of me my sanity
Divided you shall fall
Your soul shall burn most certainly
Below me you will crawl
I am my own eternity
My creations will not fall
Dream or not it's real to me
Your becoming I prevail
From my fists burns my fire
The emperor of my empire
Butt where will be a better day
Even I am doomed to fade away
Sail the waves of lunacy
Bring my presence out of never
The forever waves of my time to be
I set my sails for forever
Sail the waves of silent sea
In empty winds under rainbow fire
The forever winds has left me
I am fading through the stars, my desire
4. The Conquerer
Waiting for the morning
For the sun to climb the mountains
For the wind & the waves to answer my call
My sword lays beside me
My ship lays ashore
But few to fight by my side
The snow is slowly falling
And gently caress my skin
Where the steel ripped my flesh
Mu quest is now ended
My home for my awaits
Where she prays for my return
When the winds are calling me
I raise my sword with pride
Full of hate & agony
Through the storms I ride
Fear is not yet known me
Fight me & you'll see
The vikingblood is strong in me
The conqueror I'll be
Rans web is avoided
Tall mountains salute me
Home is home again to me
I know by now
What matters to me
And those involved knows to...
Thunderstorms are raging
Across the churningsea
Towards the northern sky
Awaits the northern stars
The four winds are gathered
Legions of pride awaits me
As I hail the land of frost
5. The Fimbul Winter
On the other side we'll stand
We're the strong
In another world we'll meet
You'll be suffering one
On the other side we'll fight
With swords of steel
In another world we'll win
You'll worship us and kneel
You'll be the suffering one
On the other side we'll fight
With swords of steel
Then a storm shall arise
Turning the skies black
Send up a howling wind
Across the churning sea
That's just the beginning of
What awaits us all
The next three years shall be
Without summer or joy to man
The sign shall be - The blazing sky
The sign shall be - The grimmest cold
The sign shall be - The freezing winds of frost
The sign shall be - The Fimbul Winter
On the other side you'll meet
Blades of steel
In another world you'll meet
Axes swung by hatred strong
On the other side you'll fight
The gods alliged
In another world you'll fall
Our wrath will find you all
Axes swung by hatred strong
On the other side you'll fight
The gods alliged
With fire and frost
We'll tear your limbs apart
With hammers and swords
We'll crush your warrior
With wisdom and strength
We'll conquer your troops
With hunger and pain
You will remember us
Bright shall shine the sun divine
And unsowed field shall grow
Trees shall grow and rivers flow
Through woods as green as man
Has ever seen
Brighter every day she'll shine
The Mother of our lives
Though I don't want to live to see
The day Ragnarok take our lives away
6. Storms Of The Elder
Awaken thou one eyed God
Rise again from the slumber!
Give us a touch of the elder strenght
Flowing in your veins
And give us again the courage to crush
The embers of the faded ones
A lightning ripped the sky
The signs of ancient beliefs enlighten
The inner chambers
Of forbidden knowledge
Oh, rise the storm of elder
Let again Gungnir fly
Into the chests of Giants,
And release again thte power
Of your eight-leggend horse
Ride again in front of the Oskorei
And lead fear into hearts of men
Enlighten the path for those of the elder spirit
And quide them into glory
We entered a long gone and forgotten valley
It's habitants flames of lie long gone
Ceased by a dark and ancient plague
In the heart of this forbitten place
We awakened the spirit of the past
And we entered the dawn
Of the slumbering one
Odin opened his eye
And looked out into the world
He lifted his arms to the sky
And called for he other gods
And commanded them to awaken
From their ages of slumber
Again their rose from the ground
For there where still embers
Of the lost faith of them
In the halls of Valhalla
7. Slagel Ved Hatrsjord
Hørte du i Hafrsfjord hvor hardt de sloss der,
Storaettet konge og Kjotve den rike?
Knarrer kom øsfra, lystne på kapplek,
Med qapende kjefter og krot på staunen
De var lastet med haermenn og hvite skjold
Med vestrøne lanser og velske sverd
Berserker remjet der striden raste,
Ulvhedner ulte og jernvåpen skalv
De fristet den framdjerve, han laerte dem flykte,
Østmenns storkonge, som utstein bor
Da strid var i vente, snudde han havhstene,
på skjold det hamret, før Haklang falt
Lei av å verge landet for Luva,
Den halsdigre kongen tok holmen til skjold
De drog seg under setene, de som var såret,
Satte stjerten til vaers, stakk hodet i kjolen
På baken lot de blinke blanke skjoldtak,
De tenksomme segger, da steinene slo dem;
Austkylvene aste avsted over Jaeren,
Hjem fra Hafrsfjord - husket på mjøddrikken
8. The Ballad Of The Swords
Across the moor
We Norsemen rode
& skalds to us sung
That days of glory
Soon should be
When swords bloodred were swung
"One-eyed father
Give us the strength
My brave kinsmen & I
In Valhalla I
Your mighty men will meet
If in this battle I die
From the sky
Your ravens watching me
Both of them I see
Thank you father
For letting me know
You watch over me"
At the moor
The ravens spoke to me
While skalds did their song
A bitter loss
Was soon to come
For those I were among
Across the moor
We Norsemen rode
& skalds to us sung
That days of glory
Soon should be
When swords bloodred were swung
I say to you I ask you to
For once be your own lord
Come with me
Be part of my
Ballad of the swords
A sudden clash
Where swords were drawn
Was the beginning of my end
With a norsemans pride
& courage I fought
I would to Hel them send
Instead I felt
Cold chilling steel
Stab me from behind
A cravens deed
Indeed it was
Peace he should not find
Faded I did
Strange beauty I met
The dream for me came true
Brought up I were
Bifrost I saw
My mortal life were through
Your mortal life
With children & wife
Wouldn't have no value
If you knew as I
About life up here
You would die to be here forever
