Upon the Altar Songtext
von Among Wolves

Blood-red moon shines, casting dreadful glow
Upon the altar, shadows filter through the light
A vessel for the gods beneath the midnight sun
Breathing his final breaths, the ritual is begun

Geiri and Freiki, wolves of commanding might
Circle the altar, eyes ablaze with lunar light
The pagan′s trembling hands grasp the chains of fate
Embracing sacrifice, trepidation for his end

Steel on bone, the tools of sacrifice
Beneath the moon's caress, lifeblood begins to flow


With each drop of blood spilled, connection to life fades
A bridge to Valhöll built, where spirits are forever laid
Cries cut through the night air, among scents of mugwort
A vermillion stream cascading down, to life-essence-soaked soil
Through agony′s embrace, a vision takes hold
The pagan's trepidation transmuting to acceptance

On Valkyrie wings the spirit takes flight
Ascending to the embrace of Grimnir's might
Blackened skies bear witness, his final cries; the final sacrifice
Blackened skies, his devotion never died

Oooo

On Valkyrie wings the spirit takes flight, Oooo
Ascending to the embrace of Grimnir′s might

Oooo

Ahhh

Blackened skies bear witness, his final acceptant cry
A pagan′s sacrifice, whose devotion never died
In the hallowed mead hall, his spirit now resides
Chattel became warrior immortalized
The winds whisper his name, his spirit rides the gales
Devotee of Fimbulþur, forever carved in ancient honor
