Track 5 from The Doom of Almand (2018)

lyrics

These lands I’ve burned with fire
I shall take what I desire
Lord Woley’s lands I’ve ravaged, he shall do as I command
Princess Ineld, his daughter fair, is who I do demand

Come back with me to Mouselow, sit with me at my throne
You know you want to join with me in my hilltop home
One kiss from your rosy lips, and then we’ll talk of love
If you do not heed my words, I’ll spill your father’s blood

Held tightly within Almand’s grasp, Ineld became enraged
She broke free from his cold embrace and struck him on the face
By Woden, you’re a worthy wife! Prince Almand exclaimed
Someday I will tame you, and together we shall reign

Come back with me to Mouselow, sit with me at my throne
You know you want to join with me in my hilltop home
One kiss from your rosy lips, and then we’ll talk of love
If you do not heed my words, I’ll spill your father’s blood

The princess ran from Almand, she was scared and afraid
To her father’s mansion where she knew that she was safe
Almand promised himself he would win fair Ineld’s heart
But as the days grew longer he heard not one remark

Refusing to abandon hope, Almand waited in the woods
Soon enough Ineld appeared, being as cautious as she could
The Prince followed her closely ‘til she stopped, at a glade
Then Almand made his presence known, emerging from his place

Triumphantly he stood before her, these words he shouted out
Now dear Vixen I have won, we shall marry without a doubt
By will or force, it matters not, either way you shall be mine
Come with me to my fortress, let us waste no time

The Princess fought in vain against his might
But there was no-one in the woods to hear her cries
No man could stop him on that fateful night
As Almand made away with his prize

Suddenly a voice rang out, her saviour was at hand
Lewin of Melandra then appeared behind Almand
She ran towards the newcomer and wept with relief
As Almand raised his axe to bring wrath upon the chief

I could slay you easily, instead I give you life
Your bravery has saved you, but Ineld will be my wife
Go now Lewin, rally your men, we’ll meet in battle array
Melandra against Mouselow, we’ll fight for Longdendale

I'd say Havukruunu is the rightful holder of the Crown and the mantle of Quorthon. Epic choirs, vikingesque themes and tales from the other times, of the Finnish paganism back in the days before our ancestors were brought to the cross and forced to kneel while feeling the bloody sword of saviour on their throats made to kiss the hand of murderers who burnt thousands, tore down our holy places and took our holy days. Eyes teary I listen to these songs, never forgiving the crimes of the cross! Peikonmieli
