Píseň: Annihilation Of Hammerfest

Interpret:
Amon Amarth
Album:
The Crusher
All is lost and foreign kings 
Rule the northern realms 
Hammerfest, the last outpost 
Has fallen to unbearded men 


Lords of the bloody cross 
Deceived or murdered all of true faith 
Now the temple of Thor, where Mjolner is kept 
Is under siege 


They fear the power of Mjolner 
The hammer of Thor 
And all their efforts to destroy it have failed 


From deep within the frozen ground 
Comes a rumbling sound 
Ravens fly and wild wolves howl 
Sending shivers down christians' 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 in his eyes 
As his life was snuffed 


With raw and brutal force 
The warlord breaks 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, Maktige Harjafader 
Guda av Asars och vaners att 
Hor mina ord, nar som jag svar 
Att om tusen vintrar ater ta var ratt? 


While he speaky his prayer 
Mjolner rests in the air 
As if holding breath 


Frozen by fear 
They gathered stand and stare 
And what they see is death 


A laughing cry fill the shivering night 
He lets the hammer strike 
A bolt of lightning bright 
Rips the darkened sky 
Fire of doom - Ignite!
