D. Nashoku - Krigsgaldr: In The Land Of The Slavs

In The Land Of The Slavs is connected with the song "Krigsgaldr: Valhalla" of my first album "Of Gods & Men". It is my reimagining, a concept spread across two songs, how the Vikings and the Slavs met, fought among them and how their cultures and beliefs interconnected and mixed and their resistance towards accepting Christianity at that time.

Lyrics:

- Intro -
In the land of the Slavs
Roma means nothing.

- Verse -
A reverse Pentecost,
death purrs with a sombre lilt,
I watch as the masses
seek a fake salvation,
as I breed annihilation.

- Verse -
The beast is rising,
enwreathed in flame,
the soundtrack bleeds insanity,
sing his name in rapture.

- Verse -
Omnicide, draw the final curtain,
cataclysm close to midnight,
that is certain,
the Angel of Death
slips through the burning leaves,
theatrical, the courted orchestra
plays this wicked little pandemonium.

- Chorus -
In my necrotic birth,
the whole world is my church now,
mountains heave great murmurs,
fires raze the forests black,
the beast is rising,
the úlfhéðnar, a cancer at the core.

- Verse -
Black candles dance to an overture,
sacrifices 'neath the pagan altar,
snatch the lambs of Christ
from where they sleep,
renounce the guilt, ignite the flame,
cast the fetid faith back from where she came.

- Verse -
Slay the non-believers,
at faintest whim
they would impale the sun,
and thus the sheep in me
became the wolf in man,
my thoughts like insects
whoring wounds divine,
behold my bliss profane.

- Chorus -
In my necrotic birth,
the whole world is my church now,
mountains heave great murmurs,
fires raze the forests black,
the beast is rising,
the úlfhéðnar, a cancer at the core.

- Verse -
A pestilential, obsidian sunset
fires raze the forests black.
Invade the Babel's towers
poised to sodomise
a world upon it's knees.
The secret amour
of these archangelic rapes,
pagan brothers of our blood
professing to the majesty of horned evil.

- Verse -
Pagan around the wooden symbols
transmitting the power from hands to hands,
altars were burning with black fire
unholy be thy Winter Kingdom.

- Bridge -
Visit firmaments of pagan nature,
I set the holy fire of Aurora Borealis,
behold Bartzabel paving the way
for the true old gods, Perun and Veles.

Accompanied by Morena,
Lada and Svarog,
abominations to the earthly,
to everything that is simple
and obscure,
the antithesis of the eucharist,
they welcome us.

- Chorus -
In my necrotic birth,
the whole world is my church now,
mountains heave great murmurs,
fires raze the forests black,
the beast is rising,
the úlfhéðnar, a cancer at the core.

- Verse -
Behold the power of Czernobog.
I shall vomit forth the blasphemy,
drowned in empty black,
attempt to embrace my universe.

- Verse -
We worship the sun,
we worship the moon,
exalted above the stars of god,
behold, as Roma burns so do I.

In the land of the Slavs,
Roma means nothing.

- Verse -
So my tongue shall become iron
and my words the mighty roar of war,
revealing my divine anger, strike.

- Bridge -
Wormwood bitter, spat in tongues,
of ancient prophecies
for ghosts all shall become.

- Chorus -
In my necrotic birth,
the whole world is my church now,
mountains heave great murmurs,
fires raze the forests black,
the beast is rising,
the úlfhéðnar, a cancer at the core.

In the land of the Slavs,
Roma means nothing.

Roma burns so do I.
As Roma burns so do I.
