1.	War Cry	Play	War Cry Civilization is not a choice It is a yoke on their backs And the language they speak is considered weak One of the qualities they lack But in battle they’re revered, by the Romans they’re feared, And the women are standing in line For the men painted blue, throwing javelins true And their hair white with handfuls of lime Out of the forest they scream and they slash, Chasing the Romans away They kill without mercy and they die in droves, But they know that Marius will pray For deliverance from demons who eat entire legions And victory or death for their crimes From the men painted blue, throwing javelins true And their hair white with handfuls of lime WARCRY Into the fray Send the bastards back to Rome! WARCRY Into the fray Victory for your fathers’ home! “Ignore the racket these savages make! They are more women and children than men! Forget the treasure, and forget the rape, Kill them and you’ll have the lot.” Lyrics
2.	Death Rides (On Winged Glory)	Play	Death Rides (On Winged Glory) I am he who rides the nightfall, casting shadows o’er the earth A deathly visage seen in darkness, judging what each soul is worth I have spilt the blood of ages, plaguing human dynasties unmarked graves of countless children bring the nations to their knees! I come bringing death on winged glory mercy at an end I come bringing death Sulphur burning, raining hellfire with a word I scorch the land Endless hordes of evil soldiers slaughtering at my command Waves of blood from wounds of Gaea, flowing from my sword of black A chalice filled to overflowing, heady wine of blood and bone Lyrics
3.	Sea Dragons	Play	Sea Dragons We will wander with our crew until the worlds burn, Sailing to doom in dragons of the sea I stand upon the rolling prow Salt spray on my face Gods of the sea, bless our journey, As the oars pull them to plunder! The years have been kind, And the gods have been gracious Many riches for the lord, and few have gone to Odhinn. Only now do I realize, as Loki passes by, This is the end for me. We will wander with our crew until the worlds burn, Sailing to doom in dragons of the sea. Through the depths of the storm Surtur’s fire blows the ship The sails of Ragnar, son of Sturl are nowhere to be seen An evil glow on the horizon appears like a funeral pyre The whisper of a dead man’s soul only sound on the frozen air… They stare at us as Naglfar passes The dead crew of th’infernal ship It strikes like steel through my heart, They have another purpose! There is a battle on Vigrid’s plain Where the gods will die And this ship-made from dead men’s nails- Carries the Trickster there Lyrics
4.	The Divine Infidelity of a False Prophet	Play	The Divine Infidelity of a False Prophet I once found myself a victim of corrupt society, but I knew there was a world out there beyond what we can see. Upon my neck I carried the wicked emporer’s taint A tarnished gold medallion With the image of a saint So I traveled ‘cross the meadows to the hills and mountains high where the sun had long forsaken, where the Martyr’s tomb did lie. As I neared the ancient cave, the earth below me cracked. And the gold medallion turned into a cross upon my back! “I am God!” The image said to me. “You take my blessing blindly, don’t believe in what you see! I am God, you never question me! Follow what I say, and forever you’ll be free!” As he preached his platitudes, a thought occurred to me. Why is this cross upon my back the same one around his neck? The secret of his power over mankind was revealed. He screamed in his defeat, And my medallion reappeared! “I am God!” The image said to me. “You take my blessing blindly, only lies are what you see!” ‘You are man!” I screamed then at the liar, and I threw the gold medallion upon the blazing funeral pyre. Lyrics
5.	Heritage Taken	Play	Heritage Taken I remember it like it was yesterday, though a thousand suns have passed, When the men came to my village under a strange sign. They turned our women into whores, our children into slaves, And with them came a man who shouted “By this book, you’ll all be saved!” Now with the passage of time, belief in the ancient gods fades, Corrupted by the followers of the dollar and the cross The people’s minds are not their own—Heritage taken when seeds are sown You can’t even pronounce your name! Have you no idea from whence you came? Have you forgotten why your forefathers fought and died? T’was not for money, or the blessings of a man who lied! Ideals of honour that lurk deep in every beating heart, Are under attack-By the children of the lie That the Church has spoken. For every maid, For every child, For every warrior whose wife has been defiled If it’s a war they want, We’ll kill them all! Under the sign of the horned one they’ll fall! Lyrics
6.	Liberation	Play	Liberation In the name of our fathers, we are free Standing with honour and liberty We will not bow to your tyrant king Sons of the Island’s voices ring Though Kinsmen die upon this field, On we fight, we shall not yield! A revolution breaking light, a dawn to save us all Set your fearing hearts aside and sound the battle call!! Lyrics
7.	Hail the Fallen	Play	Hail the Fallen A chill wind blows through Asgard’s fields As a hero rests upon his shield. We weep, but our wearied souls will mend, As we fill our hearts with tales of his end. One hundred-twenty of us are gathered here this day, To send another of the mighty on his way. This man sailed with Huginn And made bows from mighty trees, Another man slew giants and brought Loki to his knees, Now they will join the ranks In the spear-wall Beneath the roof of shields At Odhinn’s golden hall! The tales of our folk, And our heathen pride Shall resound through the ages- As sleipnir ever rides. Even their sorrow’d deeds Shall be told with mirth, While immortal flagons raise Until the ends of the Earth. Hail the fallen, tell their tales Around the fires, over ales Heroes in honour lie See that legends never die! Lyrics
8.	Brothers in Arms	Play	Brothers in Arms The richest of them all came bearing chests of gold Then came a knight in black-his armor stained in blood. A stallion bought with hangman’s coin brings the man of greed, The last a youthful brute of twenty—His eyes a virgin’s end. “Wassail all ye valouring brave, Gather to my kingdom fair! A fortnight from this morrow’s eve, A test of heroes I declare! For He who rides to Glory’s table My daughter’s hand receives, Become a legend told in fable The heir to my nobility!” One from the highlands, his garb trimmed in gold, One night from the lowest vale and foul deeds untold. Another so full of greed he’d sell you for your life, One night fro the maidens, he’d claimed a thousand lives! With Flags unfurled and lances couched, the cutpurse and the Scot Did charge across the tourney’s field, but both would meet demise, The Highland sword did find its mark, but from the brigand’s cloak Came a hidden dagger to the noble Scotsman’s eyes! “Wassail…” The Blaggard clashed with maiden’s hero and fell to woe’s betide, Though he’d tipp’d his lance with poison, his failure was his pride. The handsome hero rose to vict’ry, soon to claim his prize, He called her name in triumph—and her father realized…. Her name had not been spoken outside the castle walls! The King rose in a fury, and shouted for the guards, He ripped his taken daughter out of her lover’s arms, And smiled as the Brute of twenty was murdered for his charms! Lyrics
9.	Feast of Sargonnas	Play	Feast of Sargonnas There once was a barbarian blood-soaked, brutal, strong, He wept, for he had no talent for poetry and song So he asked the gods to bless him with the voices of a bard, so that he might serenade them after leaving foemen scarred! “Seek you the Golden Horn, traverse the Desert of Waning, To the Korbliconnin swiftly shall you ride! Fill the goblet full, my son, of the minotaur’s blood. And drink in the ambrosia of Eternal Song.” Now the swords shall raise high, and the wine will flow Celebrating he who makes the journey long and cold. A bacchanalian image of lustful revelry To his horse, on his last quest, the young man now will ride There goes our Hero, our next last hope! He goes for glory, more likely to the Gods! We’ll feast for Sargonnas, yet he takes another son. A worthy sacrifice for the gift of Eternal Song! In fire—Sargonnas appears! Bull’s head triumphantly rears! Laughing in a triumphant sneer… Lyrics
10.	1066	Play	1066 Son of a bastard, given to shout for him, a nation awaited He prayed to the god of men and saw a time of blood Ships were built, a fleet for the ages Wine and spears were taken aboard such spectacle had ne’er been seen since Agammemnon made his war! Said Harald: “Bring your Bastard King! He has no claim to Mercia! He’ll find naught here but slaughter, and an ignominious death!” And so they mustered Saxon men for marching to the sea, With Mercians to arms again and Welsh bows by their side. The Northmen came to fight! Leaving Armour at the shore Charging on to Wessex, blood stained the forest floor. At Stamford Bridge the Vikings fell, down to one, who with his axe, made the Saxons fear his name! At the battle many will fall from farmer to mighty king. On the anvil of shatter’d shields, a nation was forged in blood. To Battle, a hill of verdant green, brightly shone the midday sun. William and a thousand horse sallied, men of sword and spear did follow Once again the mighty fyrd made line and crashed their shields Dregs of men, but no less brave, with furrowed brows and beaten steel Arrows flew but few fell Up the mighty hill they charged into the English lines; The knights tore Saxon flesh and mail Irony of valour showed Son of Godwin shot in th’eye, his army laid like winterwheat before the peasant scythe. Lyrics
11.	Elizabeth's Song	Play	Elizabeth's Song Amidst the congregation Of listless spirits walking Her witness ghastly visage Stands gazing from afar, Uncloaked by misty shadow Uphold the passing dark Turned to me his onyx heart— And bled me to the stars. He’s held her here a soul in bondage Her innocence to fade, Bound by flame scarr’d hand in sorrow, Locked inside his cage. Blowing in the wind loom the whispers of our mistress Hanging in the shadows of her heretic past Carried by the tree to her waking non-existence Doomed to carry guilt as the darkened seasons pass. I held my lover in dreams naïve Entwined in deception’s affair, The timing of the curse I ravaged Brought celebration from pulpit’s stare. Tho’ weeping then did saints hear sorrow, He then my flame possessed. The mask he wore that day of darkness Would label me possessed. The pale horse he bore no rider, The wind swung from the tree, Trapped inside his box of secrets, The breeze you hear is me! I look into the forest, with steel unclouded eyes, She’s pointing me to spirits by ghostly finger guide, These are the unseen lonely I now behold with sight, As midnight turns to dawning—on their everlasting night. Lyrics
12.	The Waymen	Play	The Waymen Winds from the Morrigan blowing from the east, The shadow of a midnight falling ending our peace A Sage rom a bloody past whisp’ring tales of old, She sheds her cloak of ravens, reveawling blackness’ soul The sickle and the scythe lie rusting where we tread The flowing blood of heroes fallen mingling with our dead Marching ‘til dawn Fighting on and on to fell the Goddess Morrigan, fighting on and on. The wind comes with a warning, begging a full retreat, the snows of Asgard trampled under- we pay no heed. And her black-toothed smile spreads in laughter’s hold, The glowing eyes of Mordred’s stare shall quench the coming cold. The sickle and the scythe lie rusting where we tread The sword and the axe are instruments of death And now! I alone must stand, the only man alive and breathing I’ve knelt on the bloody sand, the Gods of all I am beseeching! to bring a judgement to their daughter, this bitch who’s taken my men from me! Marching ‘til dawn Fighting on and on To fell the Goddess Morrigan, Fighting ever on! Lyrics
13.	Ale	Play	Ale I was walking down the street one night, The pub was on my left. I’d ninepence in my pocket for The spirit I love best. They’ll put me in the wagon, And haul me off to jail, So put me back up on my stool and have another ale! I staggered to a lady, My wits so far behind, There was only one thing running All through my fev’rish mind, Her husband fast approached me, His mood was not the best, My feet did falter then I fell— My hands upon her breasts! He grabbed my by the collar, With fire in his eyes, I got so scared I fell again, My head between her thighs, He kicked me in the stomach, Then she began to laugh, And as I fell away from her I felt a genuine draft! Lyrics
14.	Luna's Wake	Play	Luna's Wake What have we lost what have we gained from toils in times of grave indignity? Where are the heroes, the legends held on high, born into the world to set us free? A tempest’s gale from valley shadow blows ripping into guilded hearts of stone set your sights toward the eastern sky and see the fallen kings begin to rise We are the mighty, the valiant light of days a hundred ages past the blood of fools We shall overcome the shadow ‘cross the sea and raise our banner for eternity Atop the highest mountain four men of valour stand Awaiting Luna’s call to win the day Gazing to the sky, the wearied men can see that hope on fates horizon has come to set us free! Hail rained from the heavens, lightning crashed around, chasms deeper than the ocean sank into the ground! The enemy had fallen deep, the battle had been true, and in the light of Luna’s Wake our Heroes praised the moon! Lyrics
15.	Trollslayer	Play	Trollslayer Hunts for horrors that come out at night Cut a piece off, it continues to fight Glowing eyes that pierce the dim, Disgusting munching sounds- It’s dining on a limb! Trollslayer Trollslayer Trollslayer Trollslayer Ambush the trogolodytes, but they know no fear Make sure their chests are bursted with a spear Bodies burning bright, be sure to grab an eye Wear it like a necklace, and from steel you’ll never die! Living each day in a cyanide nightmare, troll’s blood burns armour and skin Turning twilight into dawn, troll’s eye burns bright as the sun! Lyrics

LUNARIUM comes roaring out of the wild, pagan forests and murky shadows of Europe's past as a fresh, new force on the traditional metal stage. A wild, frenzied combination of ancestral folk music, epic tales, and sword-swinging power metal is set against a backdrop of folklore, mythology, protest, and mighty battles.

REVIEWS
"In a digital age, this CD is definitely worth the investment. The Pagan Power Metal of Lunarium is alluring and inspired. Wake up to the sounds of divine hi-fidelity and fealty." - Michael "MettleAngle" Francisco, Metal Covenant.

"If you like your metal lively and folky but still with a solid grounding in the old school sound then this is for you... Lunarium are a band who blend Celtic, and other European musical motifs with traditional heavy metal and do a damn fine job!" - Ian O'Sullivan, Hallowed

"The CD inlay reads much like an inscribed tablet you would find in the Middle Ages, complete with Lunarium historical significance, personal attributes and a lengthy thank you/credit list that’s worthy of the early metal times. Fortunately for the band the musical presentation lives up to the outside" - Matt Coe, IMHOTEP

"Stripped-down folk metal of this sort can be a refreshing alternative to the more extravagant bands in the genre, and this 'Falcensiferum' sound makes for an on-the-whole excellent debut release from both the band and label." - Craig B, Metal CD Ratings
