The darkness had covered all the lands
And the northern sky was filled with stars
The brittle snow lay heavy upon the trees
It was so very cold, it went to my very soul
The silvery gleam of the moon was high
Drawing down to the frozen lands of north
On scorched wings it was that sorrow flew
From the realms of death to all nations
The plague of death and destruction
Of grave desecration and of pain
The cruel wails of darkness and of hate
Under the shadow of the northern moon
Under the sign of nordic black metal
Borne on the wings of darkness and hate
Under the sign of nordic black metal
Of blood, of fire, and of ice and of death
