lyrics

Verse 1
The universe is bleeding
The fields are suffocating
Lo! Your temples crumble
while crow and vermin feast
The sacred tome of olden days
collects dust and decays
Know(!) its wisdom would have lead
to a reign that never ceased

Some claim they can see your fates:
the diluvial descension awaits
Lo! You deserve all of this
for mocking effigies
Religion was made clandestine
no one saw eye to eye
Hate(!) for gods that never show
Turns them into enemies

Pre-chorus
They’ll watch from far away
throughout strange aeons of decay and contempt
They won't care for you no more you’re
abandoned by forgotten gods for all time!

Verse 2
Their temples lie beneath the waves
under storms none braves
None(!) could ever hope to see
what their ancient worship fed
Plague will reap the last of you
there’s little faith you can renew
When(!) your pride has you blinded
thinking yourself enlightened

Extending unknown frontiers
could have saved you many years
Now(!) you’re left with worthless scrolls
and decrepit antiquary
Sealed away by a veiled entrance
Dormancy’s their vengeance
Hah! Though they’re withering away
theirs is a pyrrhic victory

Pre-chorus
They’ll watch from far away
throughout strange aeons of decay and contempt
They won't care for you no more you’re
abandoned by forgotten gods for all time!

Chorus
Rotting for many a century
their halls echo with silent prayers
Their world’s a mere penitentiary
a putrid kingdom with no heirs
The warden guards your mortal lives
Fleeing the plague you march onwards
Pillaging the earth where no one survives
Fading away with forgotten gods

Chorus
Rotting for many a century
their halls echo with silent prayers
Their world’s a mere penitentiary
a putrid kingdom with no heirs
The warden guards your mortal lives
Fleeing the plague you march onwards
Pillaging the earth where no one survives
Fading away with forgotten gods

It's hard to choose a favourite track, because all of them are amazing, but I guess I love this song most, just great! Kirsten Stratmann

Finally a well-mixed melodeath band where I don't have to pretend the lyrics don't exist. I am obsessed. sovgoth

Call Of The North
by HAVAMAL

supported by 6 fans who also own “Forgotten Gods”

As far as Viking atmosphere goes in metal, I doubt there is a better band than Havamal. Their name suits them. The album keeps boosting the euphoria and ends off with one of the best tracks on it. Never lets go. The only natural thing to do is to set it on LOOP and go through the adventure again. Obligatory gym playlist material. freefrofru
