Rest In Glory

by Odinfist

supported by

Bloodbath Fanzine Odinfist hit you like...a giant pre-Christian Nordic deity! Bristling with dangerous energy of distinct ferocity these Canadian thrashers take absolutely no prisoners. Tight riffing and relentlessly pounding drums provide a calamitous backdrop while singer “Tex” Anderson wails the melody and “Surfin' Clam” Valstar adds his blackened sneer to the proceedings. Favorite track: Grim Toll.

1.	Release the Vice 04:20	lyrics	buy track
Bleeding from the skull Minutes into days All your friends and family are Dying in your haze Solitude from light There’s nothing going on Tilt your head back Let the clamp carry on This vice is clamping down on me Yet I turn the crank to see The will is gone to set me free This vice will never let me be Withstand the chaos in this hell Free me of these chains and cell Open the door to freedom’s bell Release the vice to Satan’s well You can’t turn the crank The mind turns it for you The vice grips down You act you never know Release the Vice Prepare the Price Or roll the Dice Release the Vice Or pay the Price Of your Life Copyright © 2012 Odinfist
2.	The Traitor 03:54	lyrics	buy track
I’ve been sold second hand All my work compromised Taken back forced I ran Why is this who devised? All my work compromised This poison is running all through my veins Wheels in motion I cannot stop the blaze Who is this assassin riddles only know In our lives we meet The traitor Light the fire ignore defeat Let them burn Take a stand against the odds Freedom hurts We must rise against the traitor Total loss, devastation Everything wrong, my salvation Trust is lost, forgotten Mind Jaded, future pain Run away, no option I must stay and fight never giving up Fight for what is right cannot stop the blaze Find the traitor who ruined my future Looking for the traitor Looking for my vengeance Sold my life for freedom Will I ever find them?
3.	Grim Toll 04:49	lyrics	buy track
Defending the walls against Men without equals Unending- their warriors bring Death to us All With bloodrage they crash into Spears shining brightly But they wage a war that they Cannot lose lightly Come to the Walls Come to the Walls Come to the Walls Come to the Walls In fury we cast them to Their story’s ending We’re knee deep in blood and they Won’t stop ascending Their numbers are too great, the City Surrenders But what hope can we have, the People’s Defenders We are failing We are fading Watch them Crying Watch them Dying Cannot help them Cannot save them Grim toll of life Agony As our voices call out Treachery As our city dies Desecrate Our Sanctity Desolate Our homes, our hearts, our lives
4.	The Great Thirst 05:28	lyrics	buy track
Wandering onward Burnt by the sun Humanity withers And still we march on Darkness of night surrounds us now Out in the distance infidels howl No time for rest abandon the weak Holy Shimeh awaits us just out of reach Prophet or madman? Preaching salvation Guiding an army Through scorching damnation Days march on and men waste away Endless horizon leading astray Faith that propels us, true or misled? Our path through the desert marked by our dead Our God above us Counts bodies in the sand The price is still higher To reach the holy land More men Drop dead Every Day Have we Enough Men for God’s toll to pay? Oasis, salvation Tainted, they drink it still Bloated corpses Rot as they drink their fill More men Drop dead Every Day Have we Enough Men for God’s toll to pay? A prophet, among us Miracle of man Gives water so pure Drawn from desert sand Our pain Rewarded On this Day God will Guide us Our holy land awaits
5.	Soul Surgery 05:44	lyrics	buy track
I was built for war Enslaved by the sword Use me as you will Your sick victory fulfill Broke me down and then Built me up again You remove from me My soul, my humanity Run up to the front Gun in my hand No time to think Or understand Pulling the trigger Blood running cold I’m just a soldier With no… Soul Surgery rebuild me into a hollow man bred for violence Soul Surgery control me made into a monster without conscience Men fall, hit the ground Let loose, endless rounds Countless bodies lie I just keep on marching by Grown men weep like boys Playwith deadly toys Thousands of faceless clones Yet we stand and die alone I was made to Strike down those who Stand in my way Until my last day Blood stains my hands Down to the bone I’m just a soldier I’m never coming home
6.	Dream of Light 03:08	lyrics	buy track
What have we done In this world so fair? Will our names be sung In the years when we grow old? Legacy beholds me I close my eyes The wind blows around me I feel its rise Heroes rise to conquer They are not bound Their path lies in battle Victory is found Every man will dream of light Though he lives an endless fight In the end his pot of gold Is worth it for his life was sold Standing free upon his land Working for his woman’s hand In this dream so full of light To every man it’s worth the sight
7.	Will of the Warrior 03:49	lyrics	buy track
Will of the Warrior In our minds we are the ones to protect our sacred home No onslaught can take our lands, our blades send their souls to roam Warrior Warrior Will of the Warrior We live to fight with our might we burn our foes to ash Drive forces back with our attack with our sword, bow and lash We will ride into battle We will fight though we don’t have to We will die and rest in glory Rest in glory Live to ride, Love for battle Live to fight, ‘Cause we are glad to Live to die, and rest in glory Rest in glory
8.	Ragnarok 04:43	lyrics	buy track
Warriors geared up raging for the enemy Endless waves of bloody screams drowning cries for mercy Evading endless blows the axe stays true Killing foes one by one cleaving them in two The god of war has fallen hear his battle cry The wolf his jaws are wet as they reach to touch the sky Charge fight kill Show no mercy Charge fight kill No surrender Charge fight die Show no mercy Glory lies with you in battle Ragnarok The final stand Warriors clash Spilling blood upon the land Ragnarok The end of days Fate foretold Life and honour torn away Bodies lying on the ground ripped and torn apart They are fighting onward still with anger in their hearts Bleeding out upon the snow millions pass away Life is lost for nothing gained on this final day Killing without prejudice there can be no sense to this In a war that no one wins die and get it over with
