Hold high our banner black, the three flames in red. Brothers and sisters. Hail, proudly raise your heads. Through you we've reached out to just every nation.
[Recorded February 1988. Released on album "Blood Fire Death", October 1988]. [Intro piece, no words].
When I'm gone and my time has come to shut these eyes of mine. No stones must be erected I will leave but ash behind. Tell no tales about me when you gather around your fire.
Land of unforgiving winter. Cold, clad in white, under a dark grey sky. Silent, the wind, it whispers. Pale sun of gold, gazing from far up high. . Endless forests, lakes of water dark and deep.
I'm not made perfect I don't know everything. From time to time my mind is on the virtual brink. I've had my moments when I've prepared for all. I've even failed to have a woman given my number to call.
Trembling soft skin wrapping. shuddering warm flesh. blood pulsating through the veins. . Tool insertion. science not perversion. the end result justifies the pain.
Heil satanic majesty. tonight we sacrifice. We drink our own blood. and blasphemy while. the moon is our only light. . We whisper our sorcery. the acid takes us high.

By lightning conceived was I. The stars above became my eyes. Hvergelmir flows in my veins. My hair the mist across the never ending nameless lake. . By womb of soil, the moist of dew.
One with the light of the stars. Woke Firstborns of Ilvatar. One with the trees and the green. Planted all the first seeds. Hope for the others grief.
Down the vast hills in morning mist cold. Into the peaceful deep valley below. Twothousand stallions foaming with hate. Carrying their masters towards their fate.
I have paced these forests for so long. I don`t know if I am a man or I am beast. I though hold deep within me a quest for revenge. Then I must be a man as much as I can be.
In Finnish:. . Pinnan alla. varjoissa Rhnin. Pohjalla hiekassa. Tumman meren huomassa (hallussa, lhell). Lep voima sankaruuden. Valossa. Kajossa uuden aamun.
Trollshaws. Short way to the East. Trollshaws. The land of the beast. You may hide on the hills. Lurk into the woods. We have already smelt your thrills.
Youngsters prostitute themselves. It's all part of the game. Wwalking up amd down the pavements. That bears both stars and names. . Automatic fire. Sacred amendment guarantees.
Twinkle bright Aldebaran, the star of solitude. Somewhere there is a lake of fire, pity all the fools. Sorry are the desolate, the unfree and obedient.
In the ancient woodland. Meet the oldest man. With a huge smile on his face. For joy and peace he stands. Boundaries of his green kingdom. Shall not be passed by the evil.
Elven underworld. Colours of the stars. Their dens seal the love. That lies above. Elven underworld. So far from the stars. Their dens seal the love. For the night and the skies.
I have drunk my head all weary. I've been wild in search for fun. A lot of dates and names and places. Great deal of women I have known. . But as I sit here and remember all the things that I've been through.
What greater light Shall I obey. Like all immortals I will make my way. I've seen the rifts and heard the songs. I am immortal, must I obey. . I can smell the fire.
