Amon Amarth Annihilation of Hammerfest Lyrics
All is lost and foreign kings
Rule the northern realms
Hammerfest, the last outpost
Has fallen to unbearded men
Lords of the b_____ cross
Deceived or murdered all of true faith
Now the temple of Thor, where Mjölner is kept
Is under siege
They fear the power of Mjölner
The hammer of Thor
And all their efforts to destroy it have failed
From deep within the frozen ground
Comes a rumbling sound
Ravens screech and wild wolves howl
Sending shivers down Christian spines
As if from nowhere
Dark and grim he appears
The warlord of the Gods comes with force
To retrieve The Crusher
The first man died with a gurgling sigh
When his head was crushed
Painful surprise within his eyes
As his life was snuffed
With brutal force
The warlord brakes the temple doors
The weak back off in fear
On the altar it lies, he lifts the hammer high
And before it he swears
"Allvise Ygg, Mäktige Härjafader
Gudar av Asars och Vaners ätt
Hör mina ord, när som jag svär
Att om tusen vintrar åter ta vår rätt"
(Rough translation:
"Allwise (allmighty) Ygg. Mighty Herjefather
Gods of Æser's and Vaner's ætt
Hear my words, now as I swear:
That I in 1000 Years Again will Claim our Right")
(solo: Söderberg)
While he speaks his prayer, Mjölner rests in the air
As if holding its breath
Frozen by fear, the gathered stand and stare
And what they see is death
A laughing cry, fills the shivering night
He lets the hammer strike
A bolt of lightning bright, Rips the darkend sky
Fire of doom ignite!
