White Wolves 06:31
Out from the black they stalk Within the white they walk They're here to rend and tear To leave the bones stripped bare Swarm of fangs and eyes Snap down the jaws until it dies Crimson blood flowing forth Beautiful brutality of the North The wind howls and wolves harmonise Eyes fade as it dies Carnage spread all around the place Frozen terror on a lifeless face Blood on the white snow Gore on the ice floe How the cold winds blow White wolves Down from the high hills Out from the deep chills In for the hard kill White wolves Thrashing forms bring it down Sputtering scarlet, the lesser drowns Throat ripped ragged and wide The strong have lived and the weakling died The butchering will continue on Regurgitate entrails for the spawn Masticate steaming viscera Feast on the carcass, Nature's law The wind howls and wolves harmonise Eyes fade as it dies Carnage spread all around the place Frozen terror on a lifeless face Blood on the white snow Gore on the ice floe How the cold winds blow White wolves Down from the high hills Out from the deep chills In for the hard kill White wolves

Snow falls down Upon the taiga and fields Frozen rivers Of the Canadian Shield Winter has woken And has brought starvation Snowsqualls pound the forests Famine and emaciation Within my veins Hunger screams Evil in my brain Cursing my dreams I have to feed It's inside me Cannot fight the need Manitou of gluttony I am wendigo Treading on bloody snow Terror of the North Demon come forth I am wendigo Your saviour, your foe Blackened to the core This is real, not folklore Blood runs hot Melting through the snow Steam rises Where the crimson flows Cut through the flesh Divide the meat Those that I loved Are those that I will eat Within my veins Hunger screams Evil in my brain Cursing my dreams I have to feed It's inside me Cannot fight the need Manitou of gluttony I am wendigo Treading on bloody snow Terror of the North Demon come forth I am wendigo Your saviour, your foe Blackened to the core This is real, not folklore I see them dead Within my head My children and my wife Their blood on my knife I am wendigo Treading on bloody snow Terror of the North Demon come forth I am wendigo Your saviour, your foe Blackened to the core This is real, not folklore I am wendigo I am wendigo I am wendigo Treading on bloody snow I will devour their flesh There will be no one left

Dank wood Black wood Grim fog clings to bark A loss of all that's good Covered by the dark Limbs stretch through the cold Trunks twisted and cruel A thicket vile and old A copse of silent ghouls At midnight they stir Branches transmute to spurs Roots begin to shift The treeline starts to drift They glide on through the peat Ghouls searching for meat The scent of lilac on the breeze As you are eaten by the trees Your eyes freeze Ripped to shreds by the trees Your heart stops Torn apart by the copse Your life ends As your limbs start to transcend Your soul is lost You have joined the cannibal copse Dark wood False wood By the day the trees pretend Hiding where they've stood Branches reach and distend Demons disguised by dark spells Murdered men forced to rise At night is when they dwell They shift their shape, convert their guise At midnight they stir Branches transmute to spurs Roots begin to shift The treeline starts to drift They glide through the peat Ghouls searching for meat The scent of lilac on the breeze As you are eaten by the trees Your eyes freeze Ripped to shreds by the trees Your heart stops Torn apart by the copse Your life ends As your limbs start to transcend Your soul is lost You have joined the cannibal copse

The greatest peril of this life One that entwines and defines Every single thing we eat Could rise and lead to our defeat Once the soul is finally freed Be it man or any beast It will ascend up to the sky Where it's free to live and fly But It can take revenge Spirit death It falls down from the sky Avenge the theft Up your spine Gliding quick Kissing your neck The breath of the Arctic Down your throat Cold and quick Stealing your life The breath of the Arctic Silent wolf or mighty bear Their spirits gather in the air One day you'll arise as well To the realm where all souls dwell The antlers of the caribou Tusk of narwhal, orca too We'll all become part of the breath Become as one after our deaths But It can take revenge Spirit death It falls down from the sky Avenge the theft Up your spine Gliding quick Kissing your neck The breath of the Arctic Down your throat Cold and quick Stealing your life The breath of the Arctic

A heart that's full of flames Burning like fire, an inferno inside her A womb that's full of shade Churning like shadows, the darkness of their woe Her faith is melting the snowfall Prophet and priestess, evil does not rest Preaching the words of her god Breathing confusion, breeding illusions God of fire Lord of the light Stoking his choir Inferno rites God of burning Lord of the right He is returning Our hearts alight A heart that's full of lies She opens her mind, she opens her thighs She's screaming up to the stars Slithering tendrils, wet darkness spills Breathing evil slides into the world A horror outsider, the birth of true terror A silent shadow brought onto the earth Stalking the night time, killing you from behind God of fire Lord of the light Stoking his choir Inferno rites God of burning Lord of the right He is returning Our hearts alight Womb of shadows Womb of shadows

Ice 04:08
Men live and then men die We bleed and we will cry The earth gorged on the dead So simple this endless dread We all end up in the ground No soul to rise or to go down No one to remember you Await the cold hand of doom Down on me Down on you Down through me Down through you End of me End of you End of all Ice will fall Down on me Down on you Down through me Down through you End of me End of you End of all Ice will fall Ice will fall Hills crumble and seas will dry Doves fall and ravens fly Blood thins within the veins Words change and meaning wanes Lower your eyes to the ground Forget the sight and sound Flames burn and we are bred Ice melts and we are dead Down on me Down on you Down through me Down through you End of me End of you End of all Ice will fall Down on me Down on you Down through me Down through you End of me End of you End of all Ice will fall Fall

Beneath a Northern moon Snakes coil in the icy frost Their light's returning soon French Catholicism no longer lost All that's English will forever rot Impaled on the sword of Christ Under the scales of their God Holy serpents of a Christian zeitgeist Your souls, they will steal Strangling coils are so very real Your blood and spirit, they will take Now held in the heart of the snake Les Serpents de Dieu Lances crachant du feu Les Serpents du Ciel Ils sont universels Over a Northern sun Serpents basking in the light of the lord Their fangs are dripping blood Pledge dedication to an idol of gore One of 13 and one that shines Stand alone upon the graves of the old Inject the venom and leave 12 behind Masquerading copper for the gleam of gold Your souls, they will steal Strangling coils are so very real Your blood and spirit, they will take Now held in the heart of the snake Les Serpents de Dieu Lances crachant du feu Les Serpents du Ciel Ils sont universels Empty eyes gazing up at their cross An icon dressed in sorrow and lies A sword thrust so deep in the heart Lilies trampled by the boot stamps of time Icy shores where the river narrows A fortress stands where the Angles fall Cloistered here under their king's watch Locked within their own prison walls Les Serpents de Dieu Lances crachant du feu Les Serpents du Ciel Ils sont universels

Slowly take it apart Inconsistancies in the art Blind in vision, blind in mind Look for answers you'll never find What do you see in the sky? You'll never discover how and why You're a cage of pain and meat Grasping for knowledge you'll never reach And his ghost reached up Placed on my head the crown of nihilism Alone on Earth Crowned the king of solipsism But there are no ghosts No one wears the crown of nihilism Nothing has any worth Empty spheres of solipsism A sign of strength in my heart Symbols and words that never fall apart Minute by minute, hour by hour A weakling seizing the will to power I know you but you can't know me My hands build the shapes you'll never see You tremble as you grasp the air Your eyes betray a mouth that says that you don't care And his ghost reached up Placed on my head the crown of nihilism Alone on Earth Crowned the king of solipsism But there are no ghosts No one wears the crown of nihilism Nothing has any worth Empty spheres of solipsism Your mind is empty, yes, it's plain to see But all stories end, yes even you and me For you see, little girl Inside your head is the entire world The Earth as you think that it should exist Is nothing but a void of emptiness I know you know as you search your head God is dead, yes, your God is dead And his ghost reached up Placed on my head the crown of nihilism Alone on Earth Crowned the king of solipsism But there are no ghosts No one wears the crown of nihilism Nothing has any worth Empty spheres of solipsism Nihilism Solipsism Nihilism Solipsism

It is snowing inside my mind Crystals fall through a slowing of time And the moon is full this night Shining down on all in sight Memories drift from another life And along with pain they arrive It's dark like night inside my mind The tears flow from a glacier inside And they freeze upon my face Icicles slice into place Memories come like a chorus of knives Feel it in my heart, see it in my eyes If I die down here In due course Send me home To the North I can't rest here Bring me home My icy grave Bury me in snow Snow is lying inside my soul It buries me deep, it buries me whole Within the dark of night All is draped in white Shining sheets gleam under the stars And when I reach up it doesn't seem so far I am dying inside my soul Time has stopped by the power of cold The stars fall from the sky I slowly cease to cry Then my last breath is crushed by this ice Forgotten by all, forgotten by time When I die down here All I gave Send me home North of the waves I won't stay here A ghost enslaved Bury me in beauty The snow that covers my grave Your tears lost in the snow that covers my grave Your tears lost in the snow that covers my grave

Amarok 08:06
Weakling, fool A life of mistakes Snowsquall, whiteout Your hope breaks Taiga, forest Run to see the glow Hunter, hunted Warmth you'll never know And then I'm on you And you know you're dead My teeth shredding your flesh You struggle in the white and red You knew I was out here Still you left on your own Now you're dying all the same I will always hunt alone I am the wolf god of the true north Roaming the tundra, a natural force I am the lone wolf who thins the flock Hunting the foolish, I am Amarok Horror, wolf god A feeble attempt to fight Terror, reaper Crushed under my might Darkness, blizzard This is what you chose Broken, bleeding This is how it goes And then I'm on you And you know you're dead My teeth shredding your flesh You struggle in the white and red You knew I was out here Still you left on your own Now you're dying all the same I will always hunt alone I am the wolf god of the true north Roaming the tundra, a natural force I am the lone wolf who thins the flock Hunting the foolish, I am Amarok I am Amarok
