Amon Amarth - Annihilation of Hammerfest

I found out no one had uploaded it so... I did!

This one has to be my favorite from this Amon Amarth album.
Taken from "The Crusher"

Melodic death metal from Sweden.

Lyrics:
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 speaks 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!

@DARKSCOPE001 No problems man, and I agree with you, more swedish in their music would be really nice.

[DARKSCOPE001]

@EaTaesse ah ok thanks man. I got the translation from dark lyrics. Thanks man! I wish AA would speak in this tongue more often it sounds so awesome. 

[EaTaesse]

@DARKSCOPE001 Nah that translation isn't really accurate, it's more like:

"All-knowing/Omniscient Ygg (1) Mighty 'ravage-father' (2) Gods of Aesir and Vanirs kin Hear my words, as I swear That in a thousand years, we will reclaim our right (1: which is one of many names of Odin/Oden) (2:not really accurate, hard to translate)

Pagan pride
