Raven's Hammer

Lyrics

[Intro – Ancient Nordic Ritual] [Absolute Silence] [Deep Male Whisper – Enormous Hall Reverb] From the shadows... From the storm... The ancient gods are calling. [Female Valkyrie Chant – Ethereal, Distant] Aaaaaah... Aaaaaah... [Deep Male Voice – Slow, Menacing] The ravens circle. The mountains wake. Tonight the earth... And heavens shake. [Low Viking War Chant] ODIN! ODIN! HEAR OUR CALL! [Verse 1 – Gritty Male Vocals] Born in the darkness, forged in the flame, Blood on the battlefield, carved in our name. Thunder is rising, the cold winds roar, We are the storm at the gods' own door. No fear in our hearts, no chains on our souls, We march through the fire where the black raven calls. The ground starts to tremble, the skies split apart, The hammer of thunder beats deep in our hearts. [Pre-Chorus – Slow, Heavy Groove] Hear the mountains... Hear the sea... Ancient spirits... Awaken in me! [Female Valkyrie Vocals – Huge Hall Echo] Aaaaaah... The gods are calling... [Chorus – Massive Viking War Chants] CALL OF VALHALLA! LET THE HEAVENS SHAKE! CALL OF VALHALLA! LET THE OLD WORLD BREAK! [Deep Male Choir – Call And Response] WHO ARE WE?! [Full Male Choir] SONS OF THE STORM! [Deep Male Choir] WHERE DO WE GO?! [Full Male Choir] WHERE HEROES ARE BORN! [Chorus – Full Band, Maximum Power] CALL OF VALHALLA! OUR SPIRITS NEVER DIE! CALL OF VALHALLA! WE RISE AGAINST THE SKY! [Instrumental – Crushing Groove] [Heavy Syncopated Guitar Riffs] [Thunderous Bass Guitar] [Double-Kick Drums] [Short Explosive Guitar Solo] [Verse 2 – More Aggressive] Black iron beneath us, red fire above, We carry the fury, we carry no love For those who would bind us, for those who would kneel, Our oath is the thunder, our fate forged in steel. The wolf is awakened, the raven takes flight, The old gods are watching from beyond the night. Let the weak hear the war drums roll, Let the fire of the north consume our souls! [Breakdown – Half-Time, Extremely Heavy] [All Instruments Stop] [Three Heartbeats Of Silence] [Deep Male Whisper – Massive Hall Reverb] Do you hear them? [Female Valkyrie – Distant, Haunting] They are coming... [Deep Male Choir – Slowly Building] RAG... NAR... ROIT! [Full Band – Explosive Impact] RAGNARROIT! [Heavy Guitar And Bass Breakdown] [Slow, Crushing Half-Time Drums] [Deep Male War Chant] NO FEAR! NO CHAINS! NO MERCY! NO SHAME! [Female Valkyrie Chant – Echoing Above The Band] Aaaaaah! Aaaaaah! [Bridge – Dark, Mystical, Ritualistic] [Low Droning Guitar And Bass] [Deep Male Whispers Panning Left And Right] The fire remembers... The stone remembers... The blood remembers... WE REMEMBER! [Massive Silence] [Final Chorus – Maximum Viking Power] CALL OF VALHALLA! LET THE HEAVENS SHAKE! CALL OF VALHALLA! LET THE OLD WORLD BREAK! [Deep Male Choir – Full Power] WE FEAR NO DEATH! WE FEAR NO GOD! WE WALK THROUGH FIRE! WE SHAKE THE WORLD! [Female Valkyrie – Soaring, Mystical Echo] Aaaaaah... VALHALLA CALLS! [Outro – Slow, Crushing Final Riff] [Deep Male Choir – Distant Hall Echo] RAGNARROIT... RAGNARROIT... [One Final Massive Guitar And Drum Hit] [Absolute Silence]
