lyrics

Victory is upon us and the bold pretender repelled
The sorry souls of the enemy by our will are routed and cwelled
Now is the time for merriment though peril and pain is ahead
So drink to our martial prowess and hail our glorious dead

Gave their lives in the fight
For tribe and their king
Those of us who remain
Shall feast in their name

Deep into time our fighting men fell
That ours might the kingdom still be
Steadfast as stone, the last of the line
Embroiled in a chorus of steel

Sundown is upon us and the enemy is overcome
Their flags and banners in tatters as the golden dragon flies on
This is a time for revelry ere danger rises again
So drink to our martial prowess and praise our valiant dead

Left their blood on the field
For tribe and for king
Brothers here who still live
We feast in their name

Deep into time our fighting men fell
That ours might the kingdom still be
Steadfast as stone, the last of the line
Embroiled in a chorus of steel

Victory is upon us and the bold pretender repelled
The sorry souls of the enemy by our will are routed and cwelled
Now is the time for merriment though peril and pain is ahead
So drink to our martial prowess and hail our glorious dead

Gave their lives in the fight
For tribe and their king
Those of us who remain
Shall feast in their name

Feast in their name
For tribe and for king

Hail!

Kelle Surut Soi
by Havukruunu

supported by 46 fans who also own “In Victory We Feast”

I'd say Havukruunu is the rightful holder of the Crown and the mantle of Quorthon. Epic choirs, vikingesque themes and tales from the other times, of the Finnish paganism back in the days before our ancestors were brought to the cross and forced to kneel while feeling the bloody sword of saviour on their throats made to kiss the hand of murderers who burnt thousands, tore down our holy places and took our holy days. Eyes teary I listen to these songs, never forgiving the crimes of the cross! Peikonmieli

A Pagan black metal masterpiece. Folk and black metal elements fuse into one extremely catchy and awe inspiring album. This band does not disappoint from all the high praise sent it's way. Abyssius Murkraken
