Der Eid (The oath)
Released on the Halgadom Debut. The lyrics are of an unknown origin. As the content seemed impressive to me, I decided to set this ritual to music.
Hoch zu Roß (On horseback)
Firstly, this piece was published on the sampler “Freundeskreis der heimatverbundenen Germanen – Mit uns oder gegen uns!”. Therefore, inspiration for the lyrics was found in Tolkien’s „Lord of the Rings“. This seems to be nothing special since o so many musicians take influences from his opus but it shouldn’t be unmentioned.
".…Crashing they collided. But the rage of the North men was yet hotter, the knights were the more experienced with their long and cruel spears. They were less of number but they walked the Southern lands as fast as a glowing flash of light through a forest."
Wotans wilde Jagd (Wotan’s wild hunt)
Released on the second albumVerdunkelung des Göttlichen (The Black-out of the Divine). As the title reveals, this song deals with the Asgardsrei.

However, a bundle of straw for his horse calms him down and there will be a rich harvest.

Des Adlers letzter Flug (The eagles last fly)
Released on the fifth album Heimstatt. Today, the value of freedom is more and more important, because it is a more and more disappearing good. All that fictious freedoms that pushed us under, that suggest us, we life in a enlightened time, turn out to be what they really are: rotten temples of mendacious idols!
