    This was laying on my hard drive for some time, why not show it to everybody.

    This is a testament of how heavy metal rules. Long live Amon Amarth and true viking metal!


     

    Lyrics:
    Amon Amarth – With Oden On Our Side (2006)

    Gods Of War Arise

    Darkness flees the rising sun
    The village lies ahead
    It will wake to a new day soon
    Soon they all be dead

    We came in cover of moonless night
    Fifty man at arms
    Now at first morning light,
    The church bell sound the alarm

    Sacrifice to Gods of old
    Bleed them of their lives
    Fresh blood on our swords
    Gods Of War Arise!

    Sacrifice to Gods of old
    Bleed them of their lives
    Fresh blood on our swords
    Gods Of War Arise!

    Hear the tortured screams
    Shattering the air
    They awake the soothing dreams
    Into their worst nightmare

    Fire sweeps their homes
    They feel the dragon’s breath
    Consuming and destructive flames
    Agonising death

    Some seek shelter in the church
    A refuge for those with faith
    But we know how to smoke them out
    A pyre will be raised

    But those who choose to stand and fight
    Will die with dignity
    For the unfortunate few who survive
    Waits a life in slavery

    The day draws to an end
    The night comes dark and cold
    We return to our ships
    With silver, slaves and gold

    We gave them agony, as they fell and die
    The gods have granted victory
    For our sacrifice

    The day draws to an end
    The night comes dark and cold
    We return to our ships
    With silver, slaves and gold
    We gave them agony
    As they fell and die
    The Gods have granted victory
    For our sacrifice

    1. That was random.


    2. Gods of War?

      Safe in your home, protected by laws and policemen you can talk about war all you wish. It’s abstract.

      But the thing that wonders me is how would you react and what would your attitude be if you’d see a buddy of yours split in half by a mortar round in Iraq. Then again, I wonder what I’d do as well.

      Oh and on a different topic, I’ve read you’re bodybuilding. Do you do any martial arts as well?


    3. Amon amarth are like my favourite band.

      This is one of my favourite songs too 😀


    4. jajajaja nice… i have started listening to amon amarth a few weeks ago, and just today i remembered your blog….
      coincidence or what? jajaj 😛


    5. Anonymous

      haha :)


    6. See now this is better than that Manowar stuff.
      awesome.


    7. Yeah I discovered Amon Amarth like 2 months ago. They are it…

      archont:
      War is an abstract term. You can have a personal war, fighting obstacles that prevent you from achieving your dreams for example.

      lol


    9. lol..
      Amon Amarth is the shit btw. \m/


    10. Makron666

      WTF!!??


    11. Good song…makes me wish I lived back then.
      Medieval combat had so much honor compared to todays.
      I am norweigan and german, I feel the need to battle quite often. I really believe superior combat brutality and sense of adventure are genetically inherent to certain racial groups.
      I have been in dozens of streetfights and love it, that is the time I feel most alive. Maybe because it is in my DNA?

      Viking Power!


    12. “War is an abstract term. You can have a personal war, fighting obstacles that prevent you from achieving your dreams for example.”

      Ahh, very true. I thought you meant it directly – today’s modern warfare of artillery, car bombs, sniping and gunship air support makes killing people much less personal, if not at times similar to a video game.

      Oh here we go…


    14. *I really believe superior combat brutality and sense of adventure are genetically inherent to certain racial groups.*

      That’s just plain stupid, because it’s inherent to all humans, regardless of their genetics or race.


    15. Viking metal is gay.


    16. look at chimpansees man, they battle alot too!!!


    17. Inherent to all humans? That must be why northern europeans conquered almost the entire world at one time or another.


    18. I love Amon Amarth.. They are without a doubt my favorite band.
      Their lyrics are great (And they make sense, unlike so many new upcoming bands)
      Their songs are just so powerful.. The video was weird though..
      Cry of the Blackbirds is my favorite song.
