2) Our Flags Held High
7:20, lyrics:
We prepare for battle. We prepare for death,
As we march towards the fields, stained with blood of fallen men

We shall not falter. We shall not fear
The forces of our enemies will lay crushed under our feet

To save our ways, we will go forth
To save our children, we will welcome death
The swords are clashing, the wounds go deep
The corpses of our enemies are piled amongst our dead
The day grows weary, the screams grow weak
The sky is stained with blood

To what end do we sacrifice ourselves?
All I see is despair as we gather our dead
The blood of my brethren, spilt for the King
I will honour their memory and welcome death

We chose this life, we chose this death
No one can make us regret the vows we took

To save our ways, we will go forth
To save our children, we will welcome death
The swords are clashing, the wounds go deep
The corpses of our enemies are piled amongst our dead
The day grows weary, the screams grow weak
The sky is stained with blood

This day, we are victorious. We live to tell the tale
We march with our flags held high
Our journey is almost done, we see our home in the distance
And there, we see our flags raised high

3) Painful Lesson
6:38, lyrics:
I hear the rattling of the chains
I hear the crack of the whip. I feel the pain of its lashes, tearing up my flesh

I take a good look inside myself
Through my bleeding wounds, I see the pitch black agony's core,
Caused by my selfish, sinful self

My soul was under siege
The gate was left wide open
Demonic spirits entered in and I... I kept all the keys

Well, I should have locked the gates. I see it clearly now
Now's not the time to regret, being dragged to the whipping post

Excuses ain't worth a crap
Can't break the chain around my neck
A painful lesson to be learned
Before I grow all numb

I hear the rattling of the chains
I hear the crack of the whip. I see Your pain when the lashes are tearing up Your flesh

I take a good look inside myself, through the wounds that You have healed
I humbly repent by this blood-soaked wood, where You suffer the death, meant for me

Now I live by Your resurrection. I'll follow these footprints that left the grave

4) Dödsmarsch
3:14, lyrics:
Darkness is taking my life
My shadow devours my thoughts
My flesh wants to kill and destroy

My chains weigh down my soul
I cannot live this life. I cannot live this death

I cannot do this with my own strength
My King, my Lord, my God, help me kill myself

Dödsmarsch
Dödsmarsch
Dödsmarsch
 
Mörket tar över mitt liv
Min skugga slukar mina tankar
Mitt kött vill mörda och förstöra

Mina kedjor tynger ned min själ
Kan inte leva mitt liv. Kan inte leva min död.

Klarar inte det här med egen styrka
Min Kung, min Herre, min Gud, hjälp mig följa dig

Dödsmarsch
Dödsmarsch
Dödsmarsch

Dödsmarsch
Dödsmarsch
Dödsmarsch
Dödsmarsch

Min Kung, hjälp mig dräpa mig själv.
Min Herre, hjälp mig ge dig mitt liv.
Min Kung, min Herre, min Gud, hjälp mig dräpa mig själv.

Dödsmarsch
Dödsmarsch
Dödsmarsch

"I probably would have thrown up if I would have had to do one more."
(Background laughing)


5) Bitterness
6:40, lyrics:
The blizzard will soon hide away the blood stains in the snow
My carcass covered, covered with ice
Mindless fool forever unknown
Deeds of love forever undone

Kill my breath as I reach the surface
Let me inhale what death might bring
Cut the throat of this sleeping child
His dawn will never come

Battlefields are covered with blood, as far as eyes can see
Breeze of icy winds, running through my veins, as I sing my last song
A song beside my grave of sorrow

My rotting cadaver's golden throne
Six feet under is my home

Don't leave flowers beside my tomb, they only wither and die,
Like everything else around me, like my demon-possessed mind

Cut my veins open wide, see the beauty of snow colored red
No regrets, no pain ever again
Dusk has come to stay

The beast, calling my name from beyond and feeding my hate to grow strong
It binds me up against my will, tormenting me with hellish fire

Please set me free, I can take this no more
Let the blood from the skull release me from this living hell

The blizzard will soon blow away.
The sorrows that I bear, my carcass filled with life.
Mindless fool forever unknown.
Deeds of love show me my home.

Take my hand, as I reach the surface
Let me inhale what You may bring.
Cut the chains of this sleeping child
Or his dawn will never come.

INFO:
1) There are what appear to be runes on the 2018 artwork, but I know almost nothing about runes. Can anyone decipher these? 2) Are the correct numbers of copies listed here? 3) It seems there are some CDs that spell it "Scandinavian" instead of "Skandinavian". Can anyone help explain this?
