Releasing Surtur's Fire Lyrics

by Amon Amarth

[Verse 1]
He's riding down 'cross a field but nothing is the same
This place he knew as Hammerfest
When the old Gods reigned
The army of demons rides
By his side with weapons drawn
Today is the day
When Ragnarok will be spawned

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e118773-amon_amarth~releasing_surturs_fire_lyrics.html ]
[Verse 2]
There lies the mountain
Where the temple once stood
Where eons ago he arose
To spill their christian blood

Stuck in the rock is a golden ring
That yet no one's dared to touch
The legend has it it's where
The Crusher once struck

[Verse 3]
He pulls the hammer from the mountain's grip
The sign for demons to attack
He's been called upon to arise
And he won't spare a single life
No, Thor won't spare a single soul
Nor let them get away alive

[Verse 4]
They strike down on the world
With overwhelming force
All resistance is brutally crushed
Crushed without remorse

Dark angels descend
To join the bloodfight
The slaughter brings them on
See Odin's Valkyries ride

[Verse 5]
The battle of Midgard is almost won
And the thousand years of tyranny will be forever gone
Soon a new world will be born rising from the Sea
Where Asagods again shall reign and humans will be free

[Verse 6]
He rides once more upon the black mountain of doom
Holding firm the Crusher of giants' bones
He lets the hammer strike, now everything will burn
As Surtur's fire is released upon the world
