2.	Ragnarok 04:14	lyrics	buy track
The fate of the gods is approaching Faster then an avalanche The end is soon upon us There is no escape Gods will battle, foes of old Until the last drop of blood Gathered on the battlefield The final hour Ragnarok is upon us The gods are calling The end of the world Valhalla, is burning From all the nine worlds Creatures of all kinds gather To participate in the death thrust To make our world shatter The Fenriz wolf, the midgard serpent Beasts of doom and death Earthquakes and fireballs Spreading havoc upon our world Ragnarok is upon us The gods are calling The end of the world Valhalla, is burning Ragnarok!
3.	Misery's Stronghold 11:23	lyrics	buy track
(In Danish) Ude i de kolde nordiske skove, findes der en fæstning, koldere end den koldeste is. Det er elendighedens fæstning, menneskets store prøvelse. I’m lost in darkness The blackening of my mind Eater of northern spirits It ends my life Drowning in a sea of hatred The dystopia intensifies Everything must have an end We will all eventually die Misery’s Stronghold has got a grip on me It blackens what used to be Eraser of decent memories The darkness blinds me, I can’t see These tales of sorrow Is a product of your own self-hate A harsh and brutal destiny Blurs what could be Lost in the winter Your soul wanders to distant mountains To seek redemption You take up the fight Misery’s Stronghold has got a grip on me It blackens what used to be Eraser of decent memories The darkness blinds me, I can’t see Through hell and back Purgatory has been your home Never ending pain Crystal sharp knives, tearing through your soul The vandalism of your mind The fear of the unknown You make your way through endless nights To find shelter from the storm The illusion is shattered No escape, there is to be found The disciples of misery gather They track you down, and they haunt Finally the last drop of blood Hits the cold stone floor Enough is enough You can’t take any more Misery’s Stronghold has got a grip on me It blackens what used to be Eraser of decent memories The darkness blinds me, I can’t see The nights keep growing colder Is this all there is for me? If so I have to surrender To the stronghold of misery
4.	Serpent of Midgaard 03:41	lyrics	buy track
Out of the sea, poison the sky The child of Angrboda and Loki Tossed into the ocean by Odin Along with his siblings Oh, the Midgaard Serpent grew so large That he was able to surround the earth And grasp his own tail The name of Midgard Serpent he received If he ever lets go, our world will end On the final day, he shall face the god of thunder Nine paces shall be walked, before death takes him Being poisoned, by the serpent’s venom His eyes will blacken as the end closes in
5.	Into the Blizzard 04:54	lyrics	buy track
Into the cold nordic mountains Into the blizzard of death and doom Liveless frozen corpses on the ground Consumed by winter, the death of hope Trapped deep in the northern forests There is no way out for you Loneliness is now your only solitude You just wish for your life to be through In the dark cold passages of the north The gods test you, and strips you down Do you have the values to continue? Or are you too weak for these haunted grounds? Struggling through the Norwegian mountains The gods are in Asgaard laughing Only the ones who go to Valhalla, die in battle So get your shit together, and march! You drag your almost lifeless body Through the frozen wastes of the north Dehydrated and frostbitten You finally make it through Odin the king of the gods Seem fit to reward your deeds Heroic, like the Carolean death march You finally got out of the blizzard!

7.	Bewitched Northlands 03:55	lyrics	buy track
Bewitched are the northlands The darkening of the sky Infamous and devastated Above the mountains, the souls fly Here you can find your solitude This is the place to die For the kingdom of salvation Shall come for you The moonlight tear through you As does the cry of the wolf Frostbitten and grim Eternity takes it’s toll on you Bewitched northlands Is the end for you On an unholy throne of ice Your realm you rule Strengthened by your ancestors spirit You expel and repel, all that stands before you Now is the time to claim what’s yours Through blood, sweat and tears And your cold dark soul In the mist and night you find your sanctuary
8.	Cold Hearted 04:11	lyrics	buy track
My heart is frozen, cut up and stolen You steal my time, I cannot let you go Can’t you see what you’re doing You send shivers down my spine Freya guide me, through the mountains I seek the guidance, of the gods Through this disastrous quest Before I am done, I cannot rest You’re so cold hearted, can’t you see what you’re doing to me? Breaking me down, keeping me tight, you won’t let me free My venture leads me forth, it bleeds me Takes the breath from me, but I keep going If I give up now it would all have been a waste Therefore I shall not rest Over the hills, and far far away I blacken the sky, with my own pain Never to return to the one I used to be I march forth, into the unknown destiny You’re so cold hearted, can’t you see what you’re doing to me? Breaking me down, keeping me tight, you won’t let me free You’re so cold hearted, can’t you see what you’re doing to me? Breaking me down, keeping me tight, you won’t let me free I must end the snow, and forget the cold, and dig out of this black hole So I must let go, to keep my self tight, so my heart again can be whole

11.	Taken by the Cold 04:30	lyrics	buy track
I will walk on, frostbitten and mad Wishing my end was near, for my suffering is killing me Praying that there would be an end hodur is watching me Waiting to strike I have been taken by the cold, Abducted by the winds I am buried in the snow and ice Unable to escape, my eternal prison The realm of hodur, my eternal dwelling Feeling nothing except the numbing cold
12.	Cry of the Frostbitten 03:26	lyrics	buy track
I am lost in the cold, frostbitten I cannot walk I feel no warmth in my body anymore There’s no heat in my life Crying for help, in the wastelands No one hears my plea Odin guide me, I am lost It’s the dark ancient powers, that lead me forth Into this mad wilderness, I carry on A farewell to all that I knew The coldness shivers, down your spine It’s the winter that keeps you alive So keep up the fight Cry of the frostbitten, is the sound you make Cry of the frostbitten, is the piece you take Eternity has taken it’s toll on you But keep going, Asgaard will guide you!
13.	Winter Depression 06:17	lyrics	buy track
Outcast by society, left outside in the cold I light the memories in my mind, to stay warm I can’t catch my mind, white is all I see I need to take the leap, to set me free The death has taken my soul, and it’s toll I walk in a world of shadows, totally unaware No heaven nor hell, for me, nobody I am my own worst enemy, it’s all my fault Even though, trapped in darkness I can still see light for me Cold has make me snowblind There is no, source of heat Wolf of death tear through my eyes Storm of winter take me down I need to get through the ice Or I will get buried in snow It will all soon shatter, there’s no escape for me Drowning in my own sins, it has to be Broken and defeat, I surrender to cold May the gods have mercy on my soul
