  1. Sunrise at Visegrad
 
 
 
  2. Call to Arms
  The gods of elements heed our call upon the very day
 Northern winds caressed our sails and sent us on our way
 Descending to your sacred shores beneath a crimson sky
 Bearing gifts of conflict and war under banners flying high
 Hail! 
 Hail!
 Hail! Hail! Hail!
 
 Under the stars and under the sun
 Brothers and sisters unite as one
 Till the battle is fought and won
 This is the call to arms
 
 This is the call � Heed the call!
 This is the call � Heed the call!
 This is the call � Heed the call!
 This is the call to arms!
 
 The pounding hooves of cavalry shake the very earth
 Majestic knights with sword and shield sworn to break the curse
 Breaking the curse of those tyrants, we shall hear their cries
 Impaled upon our avenging spears we laugh as they die
 Hail! 
 Hail!
 Hail! Hail! Hail!
 
 Under the stars and under the sun
 Brothers and sisters unite as one
 Till the battle is fought and won
 This is the call to arms
 
 This is the call � Heed the call!
 This is the call � Heed the call!
 This is the call � Heed the call!
 This is the call to arms!
 
 
 
  3. A Summers Tale
  Went for a walk on summers day 
 Never had a clue what would come my way 
 Into the forest I did stray 
 Only companion was a flag of ale 
 
 Wandering in to the forest deep 
 Weary that I was I collapsed in heap 
 Closing my eyes did I go to sleep 
 Suddenly I froze with a sense of disbelief 
 
 Who was that the standing there 
 Before me a lady with auburn hair 
 Blinded by the mid-sun glare 
 All I could do was gaze and stare 
 
 A SUMMER'S TALE?
 
 Beckoning me with a twinkling eye 
 I rose to my feet I was hypnotized 
 To this very day I don't know why 
 Simply addicted by her enchanting smile 
 
 I was lead down a path to this magic place 
 Her beauty was divine but I can�t recall her face 
 She flavoured well my primal tastes 
 All day long till the sunlight fades 
 
 Sapped my strength till I couldn�t go on 
 Never believed I could last so long 
 A kiss, a goodbye and then she was gone 
 Bewildered, I reflected had done wrong
 
 A SUMMER'S TALE!
 
 I returned to the forest everyday 
 Never told a soul about what came my way 
 The strangest thing of this summers tale 
 Was it reality, or was it just the ale?
 
 
 
  4. Path of the Warrior
  The warrior�s path, for you to decide
 A warrior�s path, a sword by your side
 A warrior�s path, your fate in your hands
 A warrior�s path, to distant lands
 
 The warrior�s path, a hunger for war
 A warrior�s path, a tavern, a whore
 A warrior�s path, life under the skies
 A warrior�s path, who knows when you�ll die
 
 The warrior's path, a damsel to save
 A warrior�s path, a one man crusade
 A warrior�s path, no guilt and no shame
 A warrior�s path, ignoring the pain
 
 The Path of the warrior, nomadic the life
 Path of the warrior, the law of the knife
 Path of the warrior, and warrior�s deeds
 Path of the warrior, to Valhalla it leads
 
 
 
  5. Unearther
  We have been waiting, for so very long 
 During that time, their army's grown strong 
 Even with you, by our side 
 Thoughts of defeat I cannot deny 
 
 When you ran away, on that terrible day 
 Many did say, coward running away from them 
 You should have stayed, OUR PEOPLE THEY PRAYED! 
 Now as Unearther for them, you must repay! 
 
 You knew at that time, we just could not win 
 Though brave our forces, were stretched way too thin 
 To win a war, battles are sometimes lost 
 Y ou gave up yourself to lessen the cost 
 A pact with the gods, you traded your soul 
 And your mortal life, they demanded for toll 
 They granted you, to be more than a man 
 Now unearther unveil your plan
 
 You never ran away, on that strangest of days 
 You never failed, and now its time to prevail for them 
 Sharpen your blade, OUR PEOPLE STILL PRAY 
 Now as Unearther for them, you must repay! 
 
 Show them the Way! 
 Sharpen The Blade! 
 UNEARTHER 
 Free them this day!
 
 
 
  6. Foretelling the Raven Age
  Foretelling the Raven Age 
 Rids my heart of the rage 
 Cleanse the lands of Christian ways 
 Born again the Heathen days 
 
 For countless moons they pound below 
 Hammer of Gods ascend then fall 
 Bringing storm, frost, ice and snow 
 A sign for us to prepare for war 
 
 And then the sun will cease to shine 
 Blackness perpetual, ignites the sky
 All man-made religion dies 
 Upon the hill the Raven Cries
 
 After the war the north winds blow 
 The blankets of ice begins to thaw 
 Those that survived now all know 
 What is a God, the one true force
 
 
 
  7. Night Before Battle
 
 
 
  8. Into Foray
  Onward we march to war 
 Family and friends we are fighting for 
 To face indestructible foes 
 Give me the strength to wield my sword 
 
 We fight together side by side 
 Into the foray nowhere to hide 
 Over the enemy lines we ride 
 The air is filled with deathly cries 
 
 Weary we still advance 
 Behind cold armour, shield and lance 
 Amongst the dying and amongst the dead 
 The battlefield runs a bloody red 
 
 We broke their pride, showed them the way
 Triumphant chants, this glorious day 
 Tomorrow the sun still shines 
 And claim this victory as mine!
 
 
 
  9. Heathen Battlecry
  26th November 2006 you did heed the call to arms 
 And you formed a pagan army to change these tragic times 
 To battle drums we marched together destination unclear 
 But the fire raging within our hearts subsided all our fears 
 
 Off we go,
 We don�t know
 Still we�re sure
 We ready our weapons for war
 
 THE BATTLEFIELD - Beckons us all once again
 THOSE INFIDELS - will die in bloody flames
 OUR FORCE - will conquer all that stand before us
 When we unleash our HEATHEN BATTLECRY!
 
 Music to my ears the infidels scream like a banshees bloody wail
 This does indeed inspire us all to ensure our cause won�t fail 
 Each and everyone one us here would rather fall then taste defeat
 So together our circle won't break within the battle heat
 
 On our way
 To the fray
 We�ll seize the day
 And enter the Heathen Foray
 
 THE BATTLEFIELD - Beckons us all once again
 THOSE INFIDELS - will die in bloody flames
 OUR FORCE - will conquer all that stand before us
 When we unleash our HEATHEN BATTLECRY!
 
 BATLECRIES - Echo in the mountainside
 THOSE INFIDELS - now slaves in living hell
 HEATHEN FORCE � as testament for those who fell beside us
 Honour their deeds with a HEATHEN BATTLECRY!
