Life and death intertwine,
ocean, land, and cold
Plumes of spray, terns that ride
barren breaths of salt
Furious waste of foamy waves
grinding heaps of snow
Black fins slash the surface,
shadows lurk below
Ooh, violent might
Ooh, vile and wild
Grey seas of ice and strife
Creatures cling to pangs of life
On stormy shores of empty shells
Scourged by waves...
Where the Blackfish Dwell
Dwelling death, dancing black
slicing through the tide
Waving slabs of frozen wrecks
drifting far and wide
Sorry winds blow and howl,
scream and cry in vain
Over pods on the prowl
Stifling lives of pain
Ooh, violent might
Ooh, vile and wild
Grey seas of ice and strife
Creatures cling to pangs of life
On stormy shores of empty shells
Scourged by waves...
Where the Blackfish Dwell

A Love and Battle Song
05:11
|
|||
|
Everything is ready, on bloodpaths I have to walk
and my last goodbye is for my only love
His lips to calm my soul, “please don’t leave me alone”
but I know his mind is still on war
SHE:
Echo in my thoughts All my sweeting’s words
For his body I lust Together, we as one
HE:
Echo in my thoughts
Sound of sweeping swords
For their blood I lust In battle I’m alone
In battle we belong
Together we stand strong
Blood taste on my tongue
A love and battle song
Everything is silence, in mist I have to walk
No more last goodbyes, only a bleeding heart
An embrace made of bones, “Take this hand my love”
In Valhalla’s halls, together never alone
Echo as I fall
Distant voices call
We will meet at last
In the Golden Hall

Broken Eagle
04:58
|

|
(Pt. I – The German)
They march in array like a silvery snake
They stomp past our rivers and lakes
They come from the South, force peoples to bow
Swear fealty to Rome, then march on
Nothing can quench their hunger for land
Yet German proud tribes will not bend
Arminius will lead us, to scatter their ranks
Rush from the wood to their flanks
We appear in an instant, into them we run
I clutch my spear, the battle’s begun
Emerged for the ambush, charge from the trees
Forest behold our victory
Skull and shield split, spear and sword clash
On Teutoburg soil the Eagle we’ll smash
(Pt. II – The Roman)
We march through a hades of foliage and cold
We legions of Rome, strong and bold
To bring our culture, our right and law
Gloria imperii for Rome
Barbarians lurk, the forest's their lair
They are animals covered with hair
Even trees glower, tell us to run
Back to our sweet wine and sun
They appear in an instant, into us they run
Wielding my gladius, the battle’s begun
Emerged for the ambush, charge from the trees
Forest behold our defeat
Skull and shield split, spear and sword clash
On Teutoburg soil the Eagle was smashed
(Pt. III – The aftermath)
When the slaughter was done only corpses remained
Germans and Romans in death the same
Three legions gone, invaders knocked down
Bloodred broken eagles, staining the ground

Devil's Dreams
06:40
|

My dreams creep down a black wall
Every time I close my eyes
And I, sleep in the arms of Morpheus
My senses expanded into dark oblivion
I just want to wake up
But a presence is forcing me there
I'm closed in a prison
In a prison of a devil's dreams
He decides what I've to think
He decides what I've to feel
Fire and steel on me
I'm lost in my mind
Every night I am afraid of coming back
to prison, in my frost nightmares
There's no god who can help me
There's no ghost who can save me
There's just death, just death behind sensation
I'm closed in a prison
In a prison of a devil's dreams
He decides what I've to think
He decides what I've to feel
Fire and steel on me
I'm lost in my mind
My dreams creep down a black wall
Endless and shrouded by shadows
And now even Morpheus abandoned me
There's no sleep for my soul
In the limbo I'm in, I've tried to escape
But that presence drags me into nowhere
I'm closed in a prison
In a prison of a devil's dreams
He decides what I've to think
He decides what I've to feel
Fire and steel on me
I'm lost in my mind

Dreadfort
05:37
|

|
Scurrying mice, rattling chain
Groaning, moaning, pleas in pain
Empty halls, silent yard
Only Ramsay's girls dare bark
Creaking doors, cold grey stone
Dark black cells of dust and bone
Light has fled, life has gone
Grim's the liar of House Bolton
Dreadfort – Tears and darkness, time distorts
Dreadfort – Shadows in the heart of North
Massive walls caked with snow
Frozen cold northern winds blow
Woods around, winter sky
Wild wolves howl, ravens cry
And so cry men in cells so deep
Symphony of Bolton's keep
Skinned and starved, left to die
No mercy in the lord's pale eyes
Dreadfort – Tears and darkness, time distorts
Dreadfort – Shadows in the heart of North
Stenching stone cells
Souls' silent yell
of Violated victims tells
Cold corpses shell
Binding bloodspell
Gates to the Seven Hells
Dreadfort – Piece by piece, toes and tongue
Dreadfort – Muffled lament, distant song
Dreadfort – Stripped of skin and dignity
Dreadfort – Torments stretch to eternity
Stenching stone cells
Souls' silent yell
of Violated victims tells
Cold corpses shell
Binding bloodspell
Gates to the Seven Hells

Darvulia
05:40

(Darvulia watching Erzsebet)
She’s crying alone in the dark
For the rage she has inside
Now and forever through the years
Flow on her lips…
…bloodtears upon a perfect skin
This witch is tasting seven sins
Six for the god upon the cross
One for the wish of Satan’s… love
(Darvulia watching Pola’s suffering)
They’re naked under black candles
Two hands are holding one hope
The girl is praying the high above
A fast death and… the void
(Darvulia to herself)
Erzsebet is raping, those wounds on their faces
Love is just a torment floating down in hell’s torrent
(Life at Cachtice castle)
Naked noblewomen on the bed
Sighs became screams in the end
The castle keeps secrets deep inside
Pains that hurt in the black night
She’s just the mistress of the death
Licking blood of virgins through her legs
Moonbathing in the eyes of the wolves
Making sex or eating on a… corpse

Queen of Hades
06:22
|

Kore kneeled down to the ground
Her gaze so proud
Caressing the flowers
Like they are her daughters
Kore, so beautiful, so pure
You don't know the otherworld is yours
Unaware, you can't feel
Your groom peeks at you, concealed
Silence breaks as you laugh
Persephone, charming goddess full of love
Sudden! Night!
Shadows! Ice!
Beauty terrified
Run! Can't hide!
Tremble, shivers of fright
It is time
Persephone, your blind eyes searching in the void
Scared Kore, you slip into a terror's world
Darkness was everywhere
The God of the dead caressing your hair
Born from the womb of the earth
Bride of the shadows, in the shadows alone
Have no fear, my sweet love
I am just looking for
A way to show you
How your life would be with me
Silence breaks as you laugh
Persephone, charming goddess full of love
Sudden! Night!
Shadows! Ice!
Beauty terrified
Run! Can't hide!
Tremble, shivers of fright
It is time
Persephone, your fainted heart is beating fast
Enchanted Kore, you slip in a world of love
Darkness was everywhere
The God of the dead washed away your fears
Blooms again the earth while you walk
(but you're still a) Bride of the shadows, in the shadows alone
Now follow, please follow me, follow me into the dark
Where death, just can't, can't touch you anymore
Where you'll be the uncontested queen
My beautiful, spectral dream
My beautiful, spectral dream
Hades, I will follow you, the ghost of you, my love for you
I'm a bride, but if I deny the night
I'll be only a lie walking by your side
Walking by your side
Darkness was everywhere
The God of the dead washed away your fears
Blooms again the earth as you walk
(but you're still a) Bride of the shadows, in the shadows alone

To the Walls
06:13
|

|
Demons come
Thousands strong
Fire in their eyes
Snarling fangs
Snaggled ranks
Thunders crack the sky
On the walls
Men stand tall
Torches blazing bright
Sword and spear
Courage, fear
Moonless is the night
Drums are pounding on (Urge us to fight!)
Will we see the dawn? (Won't see the light!)
Stand and hold the gates (Ready to smite!)
Tonight meet your Fate
To the Walls – battlecries and thunder
Arrows pierce a bleeding sky
Warriors fall – helmets split asunder
Bastions shake, banners fly
Horns that sound
Rams that pound
Oaken doors lament
Towers breached
Ladders reach
For the battlements
Crushing bones
Crumbling stone
Cracking studded shields
Blades that clash
Brains turned mash
Bloody steel we wield
Drums are pounding on (Urge us to fight!)
Will we see the dawn? (Won't see the light!)
Stand and hold the gates (Ready to smite!)
Tonight meet your Fate
To the Walls – battlecries and thunder
Arrows pierce a bleeding sky
Warriors fall – helmets split asunder
Bastions shake, banners fly

Valar Morghulis Milan, Italy
Metal band from the fog-cloaked lands surrounding Milan. Born amidst the mists of winter 2017, our aim is to play a metal that combines heavy riffs, dark vocal melodies, and lyrics that range from epic to gloomy atmospheres.
If you like Valar Morghulis, you may also like:

Melodic, Scandinavian-style melodeath, and done so goddamn well. This is exactly how this music should sound and feel, stellar start to finish.
