SOWILO (THE POWERFULL)
Sowilo the holy Sun Wheel, first fireof power,
Includiding Magic and Energy, awakes the life of nature such as The Sun rays,
It supports and stimulates the human force's centers, the Hvel of northern tradition, Like Chakra in the Indù one.
The symbol of physical light that allows the grew of all living beings,
And the spiritual light, for it represents the spirit.
SOWILO, the rune of indomitable fire spreading from the Sun Wheel,
The cycles, the return and the rebeginning, the set free man's symbol,
The terrifying force fault down to the earth,to carry knowledge,
The Ancestral Fire.
The man keepin' Fire he holds power.
And the Fire keeper is a Shaman, the important job of the Vitki,
'Cause SOWILO enforces will, bringing victory in a devasting way,
It's a powerfull energy that breaks barriers.
SOWILO is the bolt bringer of light
SOWILO is the knowledge for human minds
SOWILO is the devasting victory, it harvests countless victims
The uncontrolled power, spreading from fire.

THE ULFHEDNAR
A dark cold night,with a starry still sky
The fire of vitki is the only lighthouse,
In the ocean of shadows, dancing shadows,
Through the vibrating branches of the deep wood.
The naked man,carved by tattoos,standing still with elevated hands
He's at the center of the ceremony, while wolves are crying,
The freezing moon feeds the beasts and the choir is higher,
Contrasting the low sound of the fall.
The beginning... ULFHEDNAR's initiation to be a fighting shaman.
The wolf pelt dressed warrior, the brave and dangerous man,
Immune to fire and iron, the house of the spirit of wolves.
The skillfull soldier,the most feared and respected, terror's dealer.
Odin was his god, berzerkir his cousins,
And war the main orgy in his life,
The wolves are his brothers,
Strength and Magic his shield,
And his arms are supported by the gods
But once,coming from the south like an epidemic.
A plague carryied by the cross, the new creed made of false symbols
without honour, pride and magic, empty from the power of the sun,
And the holy warriors became all “heathendevils...
The outlaw side of pagan humanity.

THE VOYAGE
And we started in the first hours of the dawn,
With a few persons and some motorcycle,
We took the road to the north over the hills of Might,
In the land where eagle fly high and chase the lamb.
The asphalt was cold as a winter's night,
The miles slips under our wheels,
Like the last years of an old man, ill,
And the big sun was rising from our right.
The Almighty Sun Wheel, bringer of light, source of life,
And we felt so loaded and charged by the Multivarse power,
In a sort of all one with animals, nature and mankind,
Penetrated by the rays, the sharp blades, in the name of Sowilo.
The voyage to the end, the northern star did guide us,
But clouds came over and snow fault dawn,
We became prisoners of ice and driving was dangerous.
We stopped, we built the tents...
They were our tombs.
A voyage to death, the instinct was that...
The north called us...
But we died.

THE SEA HAG
The ancient lady who lives in the abyss is the oldest witch never known,
The ground she prefers are the riffs and the strands, where the mariners died,
Pulled by the storms from the north.
Thousands of corpses feed birds and fishes,crabs and snakes,
While sons and wives are still waiting for them;
But they don't return,fathers or husbands,for the sea hag hes taken their
Fear the sea hag who rises from the depths,carrying the rage of Poseidon
Her children are the sharks,her slaves the sirens,and none will survive to
Bringer of death,illness and torment,her skin brights to the sun,
Iced is her blood and the silver haired head, with grey eyes carved,
Freezes your sight... and you're dead/lost.
Riding the waves and blowing the tempest is the demon who scares the fishermen,
But mariners and warriors, too.
She breaks the boats by her fishtail and collects treasures, weapons and bones,
What a terrible shape,a cave is her house, witch her own defense,
Strong is the power and big is her army, none can resist.
The mortal aura of the sea hag,
The hateful ocean spell.
The guardian of Poseidon,
The keeper of ocean hell.
Long nailed hands slaughter your bodies,
Darkness filters your souls,
The ancient skill in dark crafts,
Will rot your own wills.

DEATH IS NOT MY FEAR
I'm gonna keep my targets close,
I play guitar, I write and sing my songs,
I'm gonna keep my targets close;
Never infamy, not even liar,
Brother with bros, enemy with enemies.
Death is not my fear,because I've reached my targets,
My life was always consistent with my own morality.
The concepts in my mind are courage, honor and gratitude,
And the whole of these makes me pride too.
The first law is: never being a traitor man,
Not to put before the interests to the ones of friends;
And all the kinds of spies, they must take the blame.
That's all...
This is me.

THE WHISPERING SATAN
'm stepping on the shards of my dreams,
Along the sharp edge of madness,
Always being on the run, in darkness,
Evil is the closest things I have,
And nothing can ever be exciting.
The Lucipher's brightin' light,
s the only spark at night,
And nothing is more attractive.
Like a moth near the candle,
'm turning around in circles.
Oh great Lucipher whispering,
You're filling my mind with black wisdom.
No more lies,no more tears, no more judgements...
Only my WILL is my own freedom.
The whispering Satan who rises from hell,
The whispering Satan is throwing the Spell.
