about

Formed in 2005 the band underwent many incarnations by various different names. Vitt Varg, White Frost, until finally the ... more name was changed to Skogen Sal and then finally Skogs Hallen in 2007. The idea of vikings and Scandinavian mythology remained strong throughout the bands history and although the band changed a lot the dedication and commitment to viking themed folk metal remains unchanged. less

Track Name: Dance Of The Trolls
we will dance and we will drink
and we will party till we're sick
we will eat you leave your bones out
put your head upon a stick

we will not show any mercy
for your limbs are good to eat
beg for mercy it annoys us
but it makes you taste so sweet

we'll break your bones
we'll carve your face
we'll leave a mess
all over the place

we will smash you break and bash you
drink your sweet sweet blood
we will scare you rip and tear you
cuz you taste so good

we will chew upon your bones
until your bones are gone

we will come into your house
and scare you with this song

we will dance and we will sing
and we will destroy everything
we will eat you clothes and all
and smile at the death we bring

we will not show any mercy
for your limbs are good to eat
beg for mercy it annoys us
but it makes you taste so sweet

we'll break your bones
we'll carve your face
we'll leave a mess
all over the place

we will smash you break and bash you
drink your sweet sweet blood
we will scare you rip and tear you
cuz you taste so good

we will chew upon your bones
until your bones are gone

we will come into your house
and scare you with this song
Track Name: Valkyrja
as i wandered through the darkest woods
i met a girl so fair, her skin was white as the pale moonlight
and raven black her hair

I

cried

begged her never leave my side

I'll

die

and leave this place for hall up high

wont you come and be my valkyrie
and stay here by my side
i shall fight my sword will never fail
until the day i die

hold me close i draw my final breath
lo my maiden comes for me in death


wont you come and be my valkyrie
and stay here by my side
i shall fight my sword will never fail
until the day i die
Track Name: Lady Of The Wind
hail to thee fair lady
hail fair valkyrie
hail to you proud maiden of the sky

i would win your heart and love
or death shall make me free
be my own my lady
be my valkyrie

love now rests upon the blade
your victory in sight
waver not or you shall fall
weary from the fight

i will conquer fear of death
and i will conquer pain
heart and sword will move as one
till both of them are slain

i will fight to prove my love
to flame and wind and sea
words shall echo in my halls
the chant of victory

sunlight comes to bathe me in its glory at the rising of the sun
fighting for my lady, lady of the wind

love now rests upon the blade
your victory in sight
waver not or you shall fall
weary from the fight

swords shall ring and blood shall spill
but death shall not be found
we will stand at Ragnarok
when gjallarhorn will sound

balance is not lost to love
and soon my valkyrie
youll see sweet surrender
as a finer victory

swords shall ring and blood shall spill
but death shall not be found
we will stand at Ragnarok
when gjallarhorn will sound

balance is not lost to love
and soon my valkyrie
youll see sweet surrender
as a finer victory

hail to thee fair lady
hail fair valkyrie
hail to you proud maiden of the sky

i would win your heart and love
or death shall make me free
be my own my lady
be my valkyrie

sunlight comes to bathe me in its glory at the rising of the sun
fighting for my lady, lady of the wind

Track Name: The Tides Of War
You see the storm
with your own eyes
you hear the mothers'
mourning cries


they are gone

we sail on

we leave at first light with the

tide

(chanting)

we greet the dawn
with heavy hearts
the sorrow burning in our souls


all fear is gone
as we depart
we leave the comfort of our

homes

(chanting)

we seek the shores
of foreign lands
a lust for treasure in our eyes


rack the oars
swords in hand
valhalla waits for those who die
Track Name: Heathen Hearts
Lo he stood there
high upon the rolling hills
crimson flames in his lonely eyes
sweep forth with claws and fangs
and hunger that never dies

how he sang there
high upon the rolling hills
mournful songs on a winters night
they ran through darkest woods
in search of his lonely cries

Lo he stood there
high upon the rolling hills
crimson flames in his lonely eyes
sweep forth with claws and fangs
and hunger that never dies

how he sang there
high upon the rolling hills
mournful songs on a winters night
they ran through darkest woods
in search of his lonely cries
Track Name: Wolves Among Sheep
hunted for our faith
driven from our lands
breaking all the laws of wolf and man

you would see us run
or watch our brethren die
holy blood runs faster than your lies

if you run
youll be found
dead before you hit the ground

given up to greed
you watch your people bleed
pick your side before the final fight

three winters of wolves
bitter frost and death
now your blood and tears shall stain the night

we are all
your fears made flesh
born from nightmares in your mind

we are but the wolves
holy men do fear
as we feast upon the sheep weve slain

fill your cup of blood now to the ver brim with fear
now drink deep a thousand years of pain

given up to greed
you watch your people bleed
pick your side before the final fight

three winters of wolves
bitter frost and death
now your blood and tears shall stain the night
Track Name: Baersark
Running from the ship
with his battle axe in hand
He fears no man of god

and with odin on his side
and his lust for spilling blood
he'll stain their sacred land

Red

Brandishing his sword
with the fury of the gods
he lays to waste their lives

bathing in their blood
as he lifts a severed head
in odins name he cries

YOUR GOD IS DEAD

Everything shall burn in the glory of our rage
we fear no wrath from god
all that we shall leave is destruction in our wake

as we make our way to valhalla
Track Name: Northern Lights
the road descends
into the storm
with giant clouds as black as night

my wounds are deep
from many swords
but still i survived the fight

i am lost
i am hurt
i wander forwards
through the ice

my brothers dead
my life ends
and now my blood falls
on the ice

i struggled endlessly
through the pain
but i never reach my home

bifröst came for me
on the road
to northern lights

i am lost
i am hurt
i wander forwards
through the ice

my brothers dead
my life ends
and now my blood falls
on the ice

i am lost
i am hurt
i wander forwards
through the ice

my brothers dead
my life ends
and now my blood falls
on the ice
