(Fire and Ice Fire and Ice Fire and Ice Fire and Ice)
Born a Son of Nordic tribe Early spring morning I arrived When Sails were set, the Ships all done To Sail with Wind a Waves for long Down foreign shores across great waters Many hundred miles from home This half year deep frozen land Where I on this morning was born
Proudly my Father took me in His arms and walked outside Where for the first time, Light struck me newborn child And even though told when older I can almost recall the scene When he held me high up towards The most beautiful sky ever seen
Baptised in Fire and Ice Baptised in Fire and Ice Baptised in Fire and Ice Baptised in Fire and Ice
Oh with gentle hands he did sway me Over the flames to strengthen and purify Oh, with loving words did he dab me With springs last snow for cleansing me his child
I grew and learned respectfully The Earth, Wind, Water and the sky The powers that decided the weather And rules both the dark and light I heard the voices of the spirits Of the forest call my name I saw the Hammer way up high Cause lightning in the rain
Watching crystal flakes Of falling snow on winter nights Uniting with the pure white flames dance, When reaching for the sky Brings me back to the morning this world First heard my battle cry Gently swayed above the flames And cleansed with snow and ice
Baptised in Fire and Ice Baptised in Fire and Ice Baptised in Fire and Ice Baptised in Fire and Ice
Oh, having it with me From the first day of my life Oh, always carrying them within me The powers of Fire and Ice
Now I pass unto thee My son what was given to me
Baptised in Fire and Ice Baptised in Fire and Ice Baptised in Fire and Ice Baptised in Fire and Ice
Oh, having it with me From the first day of my life Oh, always carrying them within me The powers of Fire and Ice
4. Father To Son
(Father to Son Father to Son Father to Son From Father to Son)
Now born my son I name thee After the sound of my Hammers Beat upon the anvil On this chilly springtime day
The Hammerchild of my flesh Of my blood to carry on When I have reached Odens end Of my glorious warriors trail
(From Father to Son From Father to Son)
Call upon the spirits of our fathers Long time gone with thunder Ask them for truth and courage When trouble is in your way
Learn to read and understand The signs to few can clearly vision Listen carefully to what The Ravens has to say
Oh, hear the Thunders roar Greetings from our fathers long time gone Tell so that no one ever wi will forget What is in heart goes from Father to Son
(From Father to Son From Father to Son)
Oh, watch the lightning strike Feel the powers of the Hammers pounding on Take it to your heart and understand What must li have on from Father to Son

Promise me my son to always Cherish what is home to you What is the truth and to Defend all of your race
Never lose the values I have taught to you Always keep your moral and ideals Do never bring your flag disgrace
(From Father to Son From Father to Son)
Promise me my son before my corps Is turning pale to Grab my sword hold it to the sky And call out my hail
Listen for the bronze horns Watch the lightning strike then You know I have reached Odens end Of my warriors trail
Oh, my child please take heed Through you Imgranted to li have on These words more worth than you wi will ever know Make them li have on from Father to Son
