[00:37]Fifteen years have passed
[00:39]Every day the woods have cried
[00:41]the words of vengeance and revenge.
[00:45]The Gods have watched him day and night
[00:48]by the Northern stars bright light.
[00:50]Growing stronger. Coming nearer.
[00:55]Upon a steed as white as snow
[00:58]he is riding through this land of no return
[01:04]His hair blowing in the wind
[01:06]A sword in his hand.
[01:08]And his eyes they burn.
[01:14]Guide me, my Ravens. Find the way
[01:16]through the woods and snow
[01:18]Let your eyes be mine seeking for the valley of death
[01:20]Come this far, I am willing to face the twin-headed beast's breath
[01:27]Let your wings be my heart
[01:28]in the air, black as night.
[01:29]I have steel at side.  Powers of thunder
[01:31]The Gods with me ride
[02:27]I trust in my ravens, watching from above
[02:31]Black as night. Swift as lightning,
[02:34]and graceful as doves.
[02:45]I trust in my Stallion. Borne by the wind,
[02:50]Taking me through the valley
[02:52]where this world ends, and the shadows begin
[03:04]I trust in my sword. Forged in fire and ice.
[03:08]It's sharp blade shall be baptised in blood
[03:11]as I take the Beast's life.
[03:18]Cry, old crow, cry...
[03:55]Come out of the darkness you beast of Hel, face me.
[03:57]Out on this field of moonlit snow.
[03:59]I will not be deterred by your ugliness.
[04:02]Before my sword your two heads will roll.
[04:04]I will not let my sword rest until it's steel
[04:07]has song for your ugly twin heads.
[04:09]I'll wipe the sweat off my face with your bloody scalps
[04:12]and watch your four eyes telling me that you're dead.
[04:32]Gathering speed. Charging forward.
[04:34]collision is close now.
[04:35]The swords are drawn, held high.
[04:36]they flash in the pale blue moonlight.
[04:46]aiming at throats bare. The moment is so near
[04:48]The time seems to halt for a while
[04:49]Even the stars in the sky hold their breath
[05:00]This is the moment of glory or death...
[05:10]The moment to maim or to be put to rest...
[05:21]So close now I almost can hear the black blood
[05:23]in the beast's thick veins pumping.
[05:24]I am swinging my sword. May the Gods be with me.
[07:12]I ride out through the vast portals of Hel.
[07:15]I swing my sword in the air.
[07:16]And the dead beast's two bloody scalps attached to a spear.
[07:31]Now is come the moment for me to set free
[07:33]those, a long time ago, brought far north
[07:35]by the twin-headed beast.
[07:48]On that daybreak when the old crow did cry...
[08:01]That hard winter when I, still a child...
[08:14]By my Father was told of a hall way above the clouds,
[08:18]Gates open wide for the one who dies with sword in hand.
