Tip: 1349 was the year the Black Death came to Norway, wiping out 2/3 of the population and ending the Golden Age of Norway.
1349 rose from the ashes of "Alvheim" in 1997, with Ravn (vocals, drums), Tjalve (guitars) and Seidemann (bass), as well as Balfori (guitars). Ravn and Seidemann played in "Hofdingi Myrkra" which started in 1994 before becoming "Alvheim".

1. End Of All

I have haunted your soul
I have fought your battles
I gave you the answers
I took your pain away

Now is the time to harvest
Now is the time to collect
To see what you have conquered
And to send your soul: to hell!

Burning corpses, the stench of flesh
Scorched field, the cleansing of the earth
Where are your gods?
Your dying prayers as futile as your faith

Every man to himself
Figure out the ways of belief
The existence of denial
I could never be crowned in that pitiful way

Cursed souls, drenched in loss
Defeated by the ineffable force
To live in oblivion or die with pride

Burning lights flashes memories
Can't hold back, can't hold still
As I scream out the message:
No hope, no fear - this is the end of all!

Hear the screams of lost souls
Hear them begging for mercy
They lost the battle
They experienced the pain

Now is the time to harvest
Now is the time to collect
To see what you have conquered
And to send your soul: to hell!

Flayed bodies eyeless skulls
Inhumanity, the awaited fall
Feel the godless wrath
That heralds the end of all

Burning lights flashes memories
Can't hold back, can't hold still
As I scream out the message:
No hope, no fear - this is the end of all!


2. Antichrist Warzone

To break the barriers of every man's hope
Just show him: reality
Just give him a glimpse of what's beyond,
The lies of sanity
Just show him the lies spun around
Their so-called "normality"
I'll offer you nothing but the simple truth
Just based upon what your eyes can see

There is no heaven, there is no hell
The only truth as you can see it for yourself
So trust nobody but yourself
For that's the only thing you can know that exists
And die with dignity

Thoughts and memories come toward you
Reminds you of your loss and curse
Loss of past, curse of future
You decide what your life should be like
Stop wasting your time and energy
On those unworthy of your affection
The only thing certain is the presence of your being
And like this it will be till the day you die

A significant life through other eyes who see
As meaningless as there can be for me
Hope replaced by hatred
I've never been closer to the "truth"
I'm truly expressing "gratitude"
True thoughts of an atheist

I'll swear to the one that even darkness fear
With a sharp conscience
Risen through lost faith
I'm every drop of hate!

Asking myself why they fear death
When all I fear is endless pain

Can't find a reason in this mess called life
There's no solution as easy as the one I give you
Just a shot gun with a single blast

Or face reality
And face your own fears
And grow stranger
And die with dignity

This is how I remind you of my presence

Attraction
Rejection

Self destruction
Satisfaction


3. Chaos Within

Your throats are empty and your words are shallow
You are too weak to understand that the time for revenge has come
I'll see your suffering, it is infernal

I will show you your faults
I will pound you till you fall
Your weakness enslaves you, binds you to your primitive thoughts

Kneel, as a slave before a master, for you the pain has just begun
You disgust me with your base existence
You're just apathetic excuse, not what they call: a man

You're just a soul in a human shell, not a soul with a true existence
I'll liberate you from this cage of flesh
Now is the time to fucking die

Die like a pig, die like a coward
Die like a mindless shell
Die like the rest!

I close my eyes, focus my aggression
Focus my will, reaching out with tendrils of hate

My mind's eye, burns your soul
Sears your flesh, caress you with deadly rage

I open my eyes, your corpse still burns
No match for my fiery hate!
Aggression abating as you wither:

4. The Usurper

[Originally by Celtic Frost]

Lend me your steel-bearing hand
So I may reign the Jewel Throne
My soul feels the gods' demand
As the lost kings uphold my side

Blood and sand
Mark their way
The usurper's tears
Guide my sword...

Fantasia slept in my thoughts
As I was a son of infinity
The emperor, forgotten, rests in my dreams
As, back to the wall, I start the conquest

Innocence and wrath
Now lie far beyond
As we cross the deserts
To reach the fortress' gates

Tragical serenades
Are whispered in the wind
As eyes in fury
Grant us our strength

(They're) throning on the dignity of might
But the successor is to enter the hall
False truth saw them climbing the steps
But I remain the Jewel Throne's choice
