1.	Soaked In Blood 07:22	lyrics	buy track
A distant memory, of valiant battle My band could not be rattled Our foes cowered in fear At our berserker persevere Hear our mighty battle cry Thunderous! into the sky! Through the rotten battle crud Reluctantly trudged Soaked in blood! Awokened dazed today, confused in pain Found my comrades scattered in vain Deaths mixed with guts of our foe Alas, how came about this woe Hear our mighty battle cry Thunderous! into the sky! Through the rotten battle crud Reluctantly trudged Soaked in blood! [backing choir: simulque sanguine perfunduntur! mors fit, ubi est valkyrie! Translated: soaked in blood! Death is here. Where is your Valkyrie!] My shieldmaiden, entrails turned inside out Behind her my axe solemnly in their Kings head Pulled the dripping axe looking about As the Truth that befell unraveled thread by thread In the heat of battle, as I (and axe) the King approached My beloved shieldmaiden in front, astonished stood reproached In berserker rage, the axe sang rhapsodically Through her flesh and bones into the King spasmodically I Pulled out my battle axe, grey matter still attached Wiped and sheathed, carcass of my love patched Braced to march down Wyrd's path To Death, my soulmate's aftermath Hauling my betrothed body rot Ineluctably trudged Soaked in blood! Hear my final Decree! Chunderous! Into the Sea!
2.	On The Path To Asgard (Lullaby Version) 03:59	lyrics	buy track
On the Path to Asgard Verse 1 In search of honor in death A band of men a quest commenced frost made pain with each breath Land insight, they tensed Verse 2 And battlegrounds are a plenty With ample defenders, ready to fight A bloody fight, each men twenty Vanguished by our might Chorus We are merely old men weary Seen shares of battle and toil At home it’s far and dreary Longed for blood and spoil To sea with axe and shield! The path to Asgard sealed! Epilogue Bound to victory, Cursed, the men were Tricked by the gods, they’d infer They never entered Asgard The sea, aeonian graveyard
3.	Lif and Lifthrasir 16:15	lyrics	buy track
Lif and Lifthrasir A storm is coming, The horizon turns chaotic and black Two sides assemble, Ready for ragnarok Meanwhile, in midgard, The prophecy of two sole survivors begin loke and surtur lead the assault against the gods, with his monstrous kin, fenris, hel, and serpent, Odin, Thor and Tyr chose their opponents, weapons held high Liv and Livthrasir Tended to the garden when they saw a strange being Ratatusk told them to come with haste, their destinies dawned upon them Liv and Livthasir ran, fast as they could, Giants and gods fought, total destruction, Monsters ravaged the earth Ragnarok will leave midgard scorched, You must hide in hoddmimis holt Ice giants, rocks, and Loki's damned kin, Eager to shatter the world, Asgardians and the vanir, ready to defend midgard The path to destiny was harsh, Fire, steel, claws, and blood filled the path The gods suffered great losses! Livthrasir realized that everything he helt dear, save lif, would be gone, Start over, brand new life, brand new world His gods would die, had to reinvent , how to live, But why him and Liv? It was too heavy a burden, why US! The battle began, fierceful legends against revered monstrosities Odin faced the Fenris wolf, But died before Fenris fell under Vidirs killing blow Lif and Livtrasir glimpsed the mighty battles of Tyr and Garm, The sound of war, thunderous to the ears Killed eachother and died. Mountains mighty crack and splinter Burning trees fly through the sky Limbs of gods and monsters rip apart and blood soaks the soil Rivers run over to wash away the stench of gore of violent past Raknarok! Cleansing the world! Heimdal versus loki , They both refuse to die Until the world is destroyed, Smiles and then he finally dies As they came out The battles had stopped Nidhogg made his final sweep Then the world has been cleaned Has to rebuild a world with peace It was hard to get the horrors out of their minds As they walked the cleansed earth that was once rampaged and soaked in gore They mourned the losses of the heroes of Asgard and Vanir Paid homage to Odin and Thor Paid homage and built them a shrine They walked around this new world They came upon a dungeon where the stones moved Balder came from Hel Liv and Livthrasir rejoiced for this I will help you build a new world Found a new home Balder came from Hell I'm here to help you make a new world Balder and a few surviving asgardians Helped Livthrasir rebuild a better worlds Without the horrors of old. Their offspring spread for many generations to come.
4.	Left in the Dark (To Die) 03:51	lyrics	buy track
In shadows deep, my life does wane, In this abyss, I'll face my final bane. Left stranded, lost in the dark's embrace, Crimson rivers flow, a mournful trace. I sense the agony, a piercing art, As darkness claims my weary heart. Left in the Dark [to die!] Left in the dark, where shadows cling, Blood-soaked earth, where sorrows sing, Pain courses through my veins, a bitter sting. Left in the Dark [to die!]

7.	[Bonus Track] The Terrorist 06:15	lyrics	buy track
The Terrorist [Intro] How dare you? Offend our Kingdom! War! War! It is your civilization against ours! [Verse 1] My son was playing in the fields I watched him laugh, forgot about the war he stepped on a strange device A smile, a laugh, my ears were deaf A flash, I was blind Cluster bomb! blood and gore flew 'the air! his severed leg hit my face! my face was covered by his blood My wife screamed… HATE! [Chorus] Hate... You're going to die I will kill you Bloody Night... And I'll die But so will you... [Verse 2] I felt lost and alone This priest prayed on my weakness Said he had the answer I was too weak to refrain Was sent to a distant camp Full of desperate gents like me Full of hatred! completely brainwashed I did this for my god I’d be a hero, a martyr My wife begged me… STOP! [Chorus] [Passage 1] Die! Martyr, Death!! Die! I am, martyr! [Passage 2] Be afraid, don’t sleep at night Here I come, with a bomb to my chest BOOM! [Passage 3] I will kill you, everyone you love You killed my son! Grrr…. [Passage 4] I will sing to you The lullaby that my wife used to sing Now she is looking for his pieces in the night! HATE! [Solo] [Verse] You are rich and feel, you’re blessed by god You leave your child at a fancy school Oh, you will soon understand You’ll see the real grim ugly world As I have seen and I have grieved It is a harsh and a bloody lesson for you (Push the trigger!) Saw my wife ‘s distorted face Too late. flames burst and soared, and children’s limbs tore apart and splattered the streets The building collapsed [Chorus] Hate... You feel it now? Your Bloody Children In your face! And Im dead But you have learned!

about

Sequoia Grove Odense, Denmark

Influenced by the likes of Bathory, Rotting Christ, and Fleshgod Apocalyse and rooted in folk and symphonic metal, I have transitioned from keyboard compositions to incorporating real stringed instruments and flutes, adding depth and authenticity to the music. It's an innovative metal band, blending folk, symphonic, and gothic elements into their music.
