One that stuck with me was symphonic metal. I just love the mixing of Orchestra and heavy guitars and plus the whole Viking aesthetic I really liked. Everybody thinks that growing up in famous family of musicians i would’ve been well off . No I wanted to do this my own way so I have to work with what I got. There is Not much money in graphic designing gigs or managing a famous band Yes, the pay was shit. We don’t believe in nepotism only half way it just doesn’t pay well (Giggle) People think I can I just walk on stage and pull out my butt a symphonic orchestra. but since I’m doing my own way, I gotta keep to the budget so I apologize for some of the tracks. If you guys make me more popular? And by my albums, go to my shows Maybe I can start pulling an orchestra otta my butt (Laughter) So I’d like to bring out my tape deck for this one So Here is I read it in the runes !” (Verse 1) On the frozen shores of a northern fjord An old man stood alone His weathered hands carved ancient signs Upon a standing stone He spoke of Odin’s watchful eye Of Thor’s unyielding might Of fearless men who crossed the seas By moon and northern light (Pre-Chorus) (spoke word, Kate raspy female, voice like Bonnie Tyler) “ don’t you think I’m gonna give you a rest I want you motherfuckers to be singing your lungs out for this one” (crowd cheering) Raise the shields Strike the drum Hear Valhalla call With every wave and battle cry We’ll never, never fall (Chorus) I read it in the runes Written deep in ancient stone The blood of mighty warriors Forever marching on I read it in the runes The old gods call our names Across the roaring northern sea We’ll carry on their flame ⸻ (Verse 2) Longships cut the icy waves With dragon heads held high Searching for a distant world Beneath the storm-filled sky Axes raised and voices strong Their songs filled up the night Praying for a safe return Before the morning light (Pre-Chorus) (spoke word, Kate raspy female, voice like Bonnie Tyler) “ come on you guys sing along with me” Beat the drum Raise the horn Hear the ravens cry The sons and daughters of the North Will never die (Chorus) I read it in the runes… ⸻ (Bridge) Loki laughs among the flames His tricks deceive the brave But Thor’s great hammer shakes the earth Like thunder from the grave Odin’s ravens circle high Watching every fight Valhalla waits beyond the stars For those who stand and fight ⸻ (Final Chorus) I read it in the runes The legends carved in stone The spirit of the Viking lives Within our hearts alone I read it in the runes Forever they remain The gods of old still guide us through The wind… the sea… the flame (spoke word, Kate raspy female, voice like Bonnie Tyler) “Let’s give them around round of applause for my sony walkman “ (Giggling) (Crowd cheering loud and long)
