Turisas

We've sailed across the sea Rowed for miles and miles upstream Passed by Aldeigjuborg Seen Lake Ilmen gleam Ingvar took the lead After Holmgard as agreed What the end of Lovat meant Was soon to be seen Dripping with sweat a new day dawn on The ropes...

A peaceful grove, In treetops above the whisper of the wind It echoes over fields, over endless wilderness You close your eyes and there you are Among your ancestors They greet you, Welcomed to enter the war For freedom of their heirs Over the vasted...

I take a look around, The blood of our men has painted the ground There are corpses lying everywhere Some try to pray, some cry in despair As our enemy cuts its way through our lines Desperate thoughts take over our minds Is this to be the end of our day...

A name uttered with fear No smile, no tears They'll crush your skull with a blow And pile them in a row The heart of Turisas was forged by four winds In a smithy high up in the skies On an anvil honour, with a hammer of blood The Four Winds pounded Battle Me...

I see a dark sail on the horizon Set under a black cloud that hides the sun Bring me my broadsword and clear understanding Bring me my cross of gold as a talisman Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing Take women and children and bed them dow...

Curses on thee, cruel iron Curses on the steel thou givest Curses on thee, tongue of evil Cursed be thy life forever! Once thou wert of little value Having neither form nor beauty Neither strength noe great importance When in form of milk thou rested When for...

The time is here Time to be brave, while others fear Fear the stars, the moon and the Holy Ghost It's what lurks in the dark that scares us the most You're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't What tomorrow brings is still the unknown But can you cond...

Bravery As we've all seen on TV Explosions and swords Hot girls in reward And in the games you play You are the hero of the day But outside that land Your head's in the sand And you think you are bold, and you think you are brave When push comes to show, you...

Long is the way we have come Still, nothing changes under the sun The day we lay ahold The wind rocks the fields of gold Zer sum is the name of the game? Gain or lose My win Is your loss Have your cake and eat it too Long is the way we have come Still nothin...

New friends Last night An offer was made Nordbrikt Would leave Five hundred strong Long is the hour when lying awake Sleeping his hard when so much is at stake I've reached my goal, called the final door Behind it- three doors more Lying in my bed Thinking...

This is all for your own good, You will come to see I don't expect you to thank me now, But I do all this for you Tearing down the walls surrounding you Tearing down your world Reach out and take my helping hand, You see, you have to understand, It's...

Thunder and smoke fills the air, A violent breath; The beast has awakened, beware! For it's been cornered again, A leaking dromon, The oarsmen jerking their chains. Greek fire! Ablaze! Burn! Burn! Clandestine operation, Behind heavy doors, A secret compound,...

Full sails ahead, oceans painted red When the soldiers of fortune hunt for pirates No questions asked, we fulfil our task Tones all turn grey after sunset Slaying a man, taking what you can What is right, what is wrong, who can answer? Sailing the seas, we do...

Time to raise a toast to our generous host Jarisleif! Jarisleif! Ruler of the Rus from coast to coast Jarisleif! Jarisleif! May beer flow as long as we can stand on two All the pretty girls, come, keep us warm! Tonight we drink, no room for depressing though...

The sweetest morning call Last marking on the wall Bundled sheets across the floor, Tangled hair galore I'm counting down the time, The sole thought in my mind: Today is the day I leave all of this behind My time here is over The future starts today A new be...

When I look back upon my life It's always with a sense of shame I've always been the one to blame For everything I long to do No matter when or where or who Has one thing in common, too It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin It's a sin Everything I've eve...

In the darkest shadows, under the black rocks And ancient moss Where steam arises from the cracks in the crust of ground The spiteful dwell Fast, fast, fast, fast, faster than the lightning strikes Trying to make it in time Hide, hide, hide, hide, hide from t...

Long have I drifted without a course A rudderless ship I have sailed The Nile just keeps flowing without a source Maybe all the seekers just failed? To Holmgard and beyond In search of a bond Far from home I've come But the road has just begun Breathing hist...

Wine flowed in ashtrays, Mea Culpa we cried, Till the Balkan mob, Took us for a ride. He was stripped by force, 60 miles per hour, Out the window thrown, Fuck That Bird! Broken glass on the floor, Blood was everywhere, Wrong guy punched in the face...

Gathered round the wooden table Same tavern as the nights before I brace myself against the gable Sunlight pushes its way through the gap in the door As the golden sunbeams reach my eyes I stand up and raise my pint up high One more for our brothers who foug...

Peace Peace Peace Peace Peace Peace Peace Peace Piece by piece - slice by slice. A strainless leash - Das Volk enticed- The boiling frog that did not leap, just take one grain, it's still a heap. Of sound and disposing mind, memory and understandi...

As you sit in your quiet home, surrounded by peace, comfort and civilization... Do you, listener, remember those memories... Grand and tearful, which still, after hundreds of years, Remain now radiant with the brightness of sunlight, And now darkening, like in...

"Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey" "Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey" There lived a certain man in Russia long ago He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow Most people looked at him with t...

Cold autumn rain, fields new-plowed A sludgy bane, far from home The time has come, our troops march on A silent hum, a cheerful song Den snöiga nord är vart fädernesland Där sprakar var härd pa den stormiga strand Där växte vid svärdet var seniga arm...

Two lefts and a right, Stay out of sight, It’s been quite a night, Now run Bhang-Eater, run! Run through the goldsmiths’ great hall, Past all the rugs along the wall, The scent of spices on stall, “Quick! In here! Crawl!” Rude awakening, No more bathing, Pub...

Nyt täyttyy mahlainen malja Tuoppeihin virtaa sahti ja kalja Uusi polvi kun päätänsä nostaa Vanha tapa ei kuole koskaan Murtumaan ei kristityn miekkakaan meitä saa Käymme teistoa ainiaan Nyt laulumme jumalille raikaa saa Siis tuoppinne nostakaa! Tumm...

The pouring rain, Sticks my hair to my face, An empty gaze is all I have left, The stars that once lit my way have dimmed, The sky turned grey, The path once so clear Faded away, Blessed are the days when life is intent and clear, No falter or doubt, I know...

I want to reach out And touch the sky I want to touch the sun But I don't need to fly I'm gonna climb up Every mountain on the moon And find the deeds to run Away with the spoon Come on! I've crossed the ocean, turned every bin I found the plastic...

Long is the hour for the waiting man The front line is to be ours, awaiting the command Some sit silently on the floor, bemused and empty-gazed I go through my gear once more, already knowing all is in place And as the bugle call goes blaring We know that thi...

Who will be there when the skies turn grey? - Turisas! You can count on us. Who's gonna push you through heavy days? - Turisas! Rugged and robust. The night was cold, but I kept walking on, I had passed the point of no return Turning back was too late b...

So there it was, the thing we dread the most. Time had caught up with us. The thread ended. I felt betrayed and disappointed. Was that really it? And looking down at myself lying on the ground of Piraeus harbour, snowflakes falling down on me... The night the...

I've sailed the seven seas, I've climbed the mountains high, I've crossed the endless plains, But still the search goes on. I've waited for so long, For my life to begin, I've waited for someone, Something, to make me complete. The sun will shine tomorrow, B...

A terrible noise heard from far away Drowning all other sounds No cry of the birds nor voice of men Just an awful groan Silence fell over the men As the river seemed to end Then... Clouds of spray, Pechenegs prey The Insatiable One is hungry today Avoid the...

Word I bring ‒ from far up North Songs I sing ‒ from you nephew's court Convened Ting ‒ on the death of Harthacnut Proclaimed king ‒ and the Danes salute End you exile ‒ Your claim to the throne is strong Svein's your ally ‒ The Swedes will fight along Norwa...

At the tables of the North Man is used to blizzards and storms Their arms are tempered by the work of their swords Gallantness and faith fills their hearts The heart of Turisas was forged by four winds In a smithy high up in the skies On an anvil of honour, w...

Far away, where the sunshine never fades There lies this land, the greatest of tales A strong golden gate now slowly moves aside In walks a man, exhausted by the tide Finally, I've reached my destiny I've crossed the western sea for the land of hope an glory...

The sun rose over the wasteland As far as the eye can see Sand fills the vast plains of Serkland It's vultures jeering at me But they can circle until they drop dead I have not come this far To end, but to pursue my own thread To join The Varangian Guard Gua...

I saddle my horse as fast as I can "The message is urgent, find the man!" The camp soon vanishes out of my sight As I rush my black steed into the night I am the messenger of fate I spur on my horse, the hour is late I am the herald, I am the sign My only ene...

Once upon a time there was a tavern, Where we used to raise a glass or two. Remember how we laughed away the hours, think of all the great things we would do. Those were the days my friend, We thought they'd never end, We'd sing and dance for-ever and a day,...

Far away, Beyond the bay Rugged hills tower over the woods A fort stands steadfastly on each top No pinewood this enchanting at night, Nor water so blue or bright This is the land of the Fenns Once the trees were as old as the world Whole Tavastia was quiet a...

Far beyond the sea and distant lands Came men with thirty ships Had wanted to reach the Neva by night But the weather was not on their side And as the wind grew stronger and stronger The rain ran down our cheeks The bow was turned towards Gardar The sail flew...

Ladies and gentlemen! The main event of tonight: On chariots of fire! The Greens! The Blues! Open the gates! Dust fills the air, stallions cry under the whip Cars come crashing in the turn Dragged by the reins around the track, of poor man Thundering h...

Roll the dice Name your price Torn asunder Loot and plunder On the ride In the guise The great divider The gap grows wider Pointing fingers laying blame The fight goes on, it's a silly game Choose your side Black or white No hope in sight We a...
