Vilkas Kiskis Redivivus While all Heathen Metal speaks to my heart, the music of Romuvos speaks to my Baltic soul. Epic folk instrument laden metal melodies fronted by heroic and soaring clean vocals sure to cause every son and daughter of the Iron Wolf, and our friends and allies world wide, to swell with pride with a tear in their eye and a sword at their side.

Ken Hagdal Loving the album. Besides its quality in an of itself, it's nice hearing pagan metal with clear vocals. Keep up the great work.

Vilius Jokubaitis An absolutely incredible album, which is instantly super close to my heart. It is rare to hear an album of such quality which would sing of the might of the Balts! Hails from Šiauliai!

Saule 1236 07:43
Saule (1236) Nei ieties, nei kardo Mes nebijome, nebijome, eisime į mūšį Nei jūsų akmenų, nei skydų Mes nebijome, nebijome, eisime į mūšį Nei jūsų sienų, nei griovių Mes nebijome, nebijome, eisime į mūšį Ir jūsų žirgų, anei riterių Mes nebijome, nebijome, eisime į mūšį Translation: (Not of the spear, nor sword We are not afraid, not afraid, we’ll go to battle Not of your stones, nor shields We are not afraid, not afraid, we’ll go to battle Not of your walls, nor channels We are not afraid, not afraid, we’ll go to battle And not of your horses, nor knights We are not afraid, not afraid, we’ll go to battle ) To the land of the marshes Lay to rest on the darkened night Volquin their master To the order of brothers of thy sword The supreme duke Vykintas Of Samogitian forces With almighty Mindaugas Slaying men with spears not with swords Hear the thunders in the distance Hear the roaring hordes For thy battle of the sun Shall unite us all Till the end of the moonlight Till the wounded sun Till the horns of victory Shall be heard for one more time On the land of the marshes Heavy armored knights Fear to loosen their horses They shall die on their final night Fled into chanted forests Which of few who could run Struck by thundering forces Of Samigalians crashing hands

Memel 1257 06:22
Memel (1257) Sound of the horns in the distance Will praise our ride Born with the spear in our hands And fierce in our eyes All Samogitian forces Prepared to the fight Christian blood was spilt All day and all night Duke Alminas won that night Memel castle graved by fight Defeated rabble escaped that night At Memelburg Livonians died Memel castle reigned by blood There Alminas drew the fight Where Dange river meets the sea Kuršių marios - victory!

Skuodas 1259 05:16
Skuodas (1259) Fear all the roaring thunders Perkunas Call of the warriors to stand and fight Tears of old Raganos shall bring the flood Wash away them Christians from Courland The coming war The endless fall Skuodas Battle Till the ground shall fall under Invading Courland To raid and kill Invading Courland To fear no saint nor father Fear all the roaring thunders Perkunas Call of the warriors to stand and fight Tears of old Raganos shall bring the flood Wash away them Christians from Courland Won by soldiers One by one they fear Land of ambers Slay them with our spears Ride soldiers Ride on with no fear Fall under Under Under our great spears Make them wonder Wonder why they hear Land of ambers Land of our kin

Durbe 1260 06:09
Durbe (1260) Traveling into distanced forests Hills and roads Riding mighty Danish horses Caring swords Heavy armored knights are coming Blessed by their pope Along the help of the Prussian army Led by Bruchard Along thy shore of Durbe lakeThey've met their death By žemaitė fateAnd all their songs, songs of hateThey've met their deathIn Durbe lakeTo thee endless winds on thy shoresThat for ages blows through thy cropsSend a message to all thy hordesTo the day their cross shall fall To the hill by the misty forestsRoad became redBy the blood of the Christian forcesEnd to their raidPagan spirits lay them woundedOn Alminas handsThen we crushed them with thy soldiersBy žemaitė lanceTame krėsleTame auksoTen sėdėjo motinėlėIr sūneliai minavojo

Pokarwis 1261 Crusaders from the west Call of the Teutonic hand Defending their stand Grasping the land Armies shall rise Near Pokarwis we'll fight For claim back their right On Natangians land Herkus Mantas will unite us Up rise Notangai Parted by command Reyden's mistake For Herkus seized that chance To take them by their necks Forming with might Waiting to ride Out to the war The order shall fall

The Baltic Crusade 
From Baltic sea
 onto shore
 With sword in hand 
came men of war 

What have the 
men from sea have done? 
To you my
 Innocent garden

 Thy roses trampled
 Thy lilies scattered all around 
Red flowers
 turned into dust

 Here i sit and grieve
 With golden tears
 Whatever
 shall i do from now

 Did thy storm winds blow
 and strike thunders
 Unleash a foaming
 Flood of fire

Lubawa 1263 04:34
Lubawa 1263 
Kulma land behold the pagan’s hand Rose against their conquerors and raid Drove the knights to take as much for defense Taking captives to Lubawa lands Swords in hand Fierce of men together we stand Deforming knights Killed their masters took their hearts Fight or die Hear thy call the enemy’s cry Pagans ride To take out Helmrich’s and Dietrich’s pride Sambians, Warmians Bartians, Natangians Sudovians, Pomesanians The Prussians, tribes rise pagans

Karuse 1270 06:12
Karuse (1270) 
Where the sun sets
 Over frozen jūra
 Near the village
 Named of, named of karuse

 Between the island
 Muhu to the mainland
 Set to conquer
 Riding out brothers of the sword

 Duke Traidenis marching out on the ice
 March to the north guided by Perkunas
 Set out their sleighs barricading the post
 Striking spears with heathen force

 Came out morning
 Raised by blood red sunrise
 Hold thy glory
 Over, over the knights last breath

 Armies gather 
On the frozen moon sound
 Near Saaremaa 
Fighting on, on the sea of ice 

Vyrus kaip
Vyrus kaip medžius

Aizkraukle 1279 
I'm the oak tree rising I'm the cold winds marching I'm the sword I am the shield Reaching to Karnavė Livonians gathered army Leaving fire and death behind them Ir kerštu darysiu Approaching to Aizkraukle Followed by Traidenis army Rassburg sends half of his warriors The silent horn and thunder The time for the striking hour All the order falling under Hail for the warriors that arose Hail for the spirits heaven burns Hail for the gods and hail for those That long time is lost -Again and- We hail for the skies that lay above Hail for the heathen horses rode Hail for the blessing Perkunas That will call our hearts Who vails to wind and spear
