I’ve learned all the lore
I’ve been told all the tales
Ancient legends of war
Are the wind in my sails

The deeds of the brave
Come alive in the rhyme
And the myth is my ship
On the ocean of time

I can feel it is near
I can see it appear!
And at dawn on the

Glittering Heath
I saw it all, gold lay beneath
And the Dragon did meet his bane
And was slain
And at dawn at the

Valkyrie’s Hill
Crossing the fire, acting her will
Was the slayer
And how alive thought it seemed
I was there in my Dreams

Somewhere in time
Deeds of the brave
Became the rhymes
We sing today

Where did we come from?!
And where are we now
Is enough information to say where we’ll go

Wherever we go
We must go there from here
And we carry our load
And we learn all the lore

Glittering Heath
I saw it all, gold lay beneath
And the Dragon did meet his bane
And was slain
And at dawn at the

Valkyrie’s Hill
Crossing the fire, acting her will
Was the slayer
And how alive thought it seemed
I was there in my Dreams

Somewhere in time
Deeds of the brave
Became the rhymes
We sing today

In a way, we have turned
Through the pages of time
In a rhyme
Gone back as far as we may
In a day
We are part of the tales of the brave
As they pave
Ways for descendants in Dreams

Somewhere in time
Deeds of the brave
Will become rhymes
We’ve gone away

I’ve learned all the lore

Týr - Dreams

(I always imagined Sleipnir to be black, but that’s just me)

Tendons and muscles of steel
And the blaze of lightning in it’s eyes
White as the snow on the hills
And it’s reins that I hold, they are mine

This Stallion and Sword in exchange
For my heart and both of my eyes
The ravens of swift wings my sight
Surely now victory must be mine

Eight-legged Stallion of mine
Run with the speed of the winds
Eight-legged Stallion of mine
Run as if you carried wings

Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride!

I paint thee with the blood from my veins
Images of origin long lost
I adorn your white mane and tail
With the stars that fell from the sky

Bathory - The Stallion

Mercy, spare me, I was but jesting
Didn’t mean to cut all her hair off
Listen, I will make the sons of

Iwald forge her, you won’t regret this
New hair, see here
Dwarves are fine craftsmen
Simple, you know, they make let me

Stand by, setting their souls on fire
My my, watching the world

Go through mischief and malice and the woes of war
Still some things are worth fighting for
Let death and destruction stand your foes before
And Midgard is safer the more
Out of the fire of freedom and out of the forge of dwarves
To hold in your hand now and for evermore
I give you the Hammer of Thor

War unlike peace leaves it’s lore
Takes our blood and our gore and never repay us
Once thrown there’s no way back
To the way things were before

Warfare somewhere
Forge now your finest weapons
Worthy of blood of battle
Metal, deadly for these days of

Wartime, war crime
Leave all you loved once safety
Sheltered from foes of freedom
Stardom fortune to the fools who

Stand by, setting their souls on fire
My my, watching the world

At it goes through mischief and malice and the woes of war
Still some things are worth fighting for
Let death and destruction stand your foes before
And Midgard is safer the more
Out of the fire of freedom and out of the forge of dwarves
To hold in your hand now and for evermore
I give you the Hammer of Thor

War marches up to your door
If you don’t stand before the giants of chaos
Once thrown there’s now way back
To the way things were before

Týr - The Hammer of Thor

(finally a Korpiklaani song that has nothing to do with beer. lol. jk)

Growing up with the wild bears
Breathing the smell of burning wood
Rain and clouds my only friends
Sun and moon and stars and light

Now it’s time of a midnight sun
The eternal light and a breathing night
Call the gods with bones and drum
Join in the shaman’s magic

Flames are dancing in the night
The shadows seem to be alive
The forest is calling my name

Midsummer Night

Flames are dancing in the night
The shadows seem to be alive
The forest is calling my name

Midsummer Night

Flames are fading in the dawn
The spirits are back to their world
I’ve seen the future and it’s good

Midsummer Night

Flames are dancing in the night
The shadows seem to be alive
The forest is calling my name

Midsummer Night

Flames are fading in the dawn
The spirits are back to their world
I’ve seen the future and it’s good

Flames are dancing in the night
The shadows seem to be alive
The forest is calling my name
