The Battle of J​ó​rv​í​k (Split)

by Panzerwar

/
1.
2.
Across the deep, in the darkness he fell In far away lands, our hearts broke The king of kings has no more stories to tell Time for revenge and the cold steel of our folk A dying raven caws as the lion begins to purr Ravenous serpents lunge, killing our one Honour and glory kept, a cowardice lure My last breath, my last glance at the sun 
3.
Row you dogs, England Awaits By the call of the Raven, we follow And through Rán’s mist we wade Searching for Þjázi’s wind, we’re on course Memories of our home, memories of our kin Scattered throughout endless days We hold strong, as old Ragnar calls We grip tighter and we sail faster A Raven shouts for land, straight ahead The wind in my face and the Gods on my back England ahead, may Þórr guide my axe
4.
We will take the Northern realm And the hammer will smash the cross We now leave Ælla to the Blood Eagle As our ships landed, our Gods could be heard As you cower on your faithful knees, you will die These shores bring us promise, honour and fortune With the power of the old Gods We shall wield fire like Dragons And the great heathen horde will follow As you cower on your faithful knees, we strike Revenge, but not enough blood to satisfy
5.
Our fathers fell, generation after the next The mightiest of gods will always fall to this earth But when we look back, we must always remember The mountains we’ve climbed, the realms we’ve won This new land, still filled with the kin of the Wanderer The true Anglo-Northmen now rise together as one Old guard of the North, the final soldiers of Óðinn As our blood flows, our flags will fly and our brothers die
6.
Our Blood rules these lands Like our fathers before us No heathen invaders will truly take this land Their hero, lays rotting in a pit of vipers As the tyrant king rules the North. Rumours of a great army swell like the seas which they traverse Hell bent on revenge for a fathers death While civil war rages, a once proud king dethroned. They do not Heed warnings on the winds! Don the armour of their gods. Faith protects the soul But does little against the sword and spear.

York Is Lost 03:32
Longships Land, a great army marches north. Pillaging as they pass, desecration in their wake. While North Kings bicker, York is taken with ease. A great retreat. Fate forces enemies to truce, no heathens can rule the north They know their home, the weak points and passages. Their defences are weak, they cannot hold our home. They flee down streets. All is not as it seems A great army routed. A heathens trap. Great Numbers Of Northumbrians led like cattle to the slaughter. No match for Invaders savagery. York streets run red with the blood of holy men. Death of a king, capture of another. The blood eagle rite begins...
8.
The King is dead I dream of a United England My blood as this soil before me Under one flag I rise As I dream of a United England

about

This album was conceptualized, written, recorded and mastered between December 2020 and March 2021.

Jórvík had been founded as the Roman legionary fortress of Eboracum and was revived as the Anglo-Saxon trading port of Eoforwic. Jórvík was first captured in 866 by Ívarr hinn Beinlaus, leading a large army of Scandinavian warriors, called the Great Heathen Army (Old English: Mycel Hæþen Here/Danish: Store Hedenske Hær). They landed in East Anglia and made their way North. The historical invasion of Northumbria in 866 occurred in retaliation for Ragnarr's execution. According to Ragnarssona þáttr, King Ælla, captured the legendary Vikingr leader, Ragnarr Loðbrók and put him to death in a pit of snakes. Norse sources claim that Ragnarr's sons tortured Ælla to death by the method of the blood eagle.
