Verse 1
The ground shook as the slumbering giants convulsed in pain
The last heirs of an abominable war for a long gone reign
Imprisoned by the gods that they fought in the times they ruled
Dethroned, cast away, forever ridiculed
Bridge
Gods! I’ll tear their walls asunder!
Beasts with roars that rival thunder!
Verse 2
Far have I travelled from my home, from my kingdom
A quest to save humankind, guided by eldritch wisdom
Beyond their gate, lies our hope to survive the coming aeons
Released are the ancient masters of vast and cursed legions
Pre-chorus
Might bestowed upon me beyond mere men
To throw this world into the grip of chaos again
Chorus
Time has come to open the titans’ gate
Fight by my side! Together we can forge our own fate
Face the four horsemen, bow down to no god
Their deaths mark the end of oppression that must be paid with blood
So opens the gateway
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.
