Following The Voice of Blood

In my bloody hands I sway the flag of my folk, my blood bubbles with rage and hatred, I know who I am and I know my destiny, I know who is my brother and who is my enemy, today is a good day to day...
Shed blood cool's on the battlefield, blood of my ancestors. They knew that their acts were proper and good, they died defending their lands and towns. They were not afraid of death or pain, but they were afraid that someone could name them cowards. Gods were pleased with their victories, took their sacrifices and protected them and showed the mysterious paths of life and death, destiny and victory. My ancestors walked these paths with pride and courage marking them by the blood. In my bloody hand I sway the flag of my folk and walk the way of my ancestors, the paths of their brave acts... the paths that are forgotten today by many asleep people by fallacious realm of happiness and peace. Their hearts are poisoned by poison of judeo-christian pseudo values. If they do not wake up their folk will die. The enemies of my folk will have to die. Their blood will be shed on my lands. Gods will take the sacrifice. The time of fight is coming. The time when one will have to shed his blood during the battle. When this day comes, as in the past the fiery chariots will come across the lands carring death and destruction. Let the horns and drums rouse us to fight, soon the flocks of black crows will eat the dead bodies of our foes.
We dedicate this LP to all people who still walks the true ways of our ancestors, who are faithful to laws and customs of the folks, who are not afraid of standing at confines of the freedom of culture and belief, who stand against tremadous power of our enemies, who want to destroy our will of fight and our true identity.
We dedicate this LP to all people who are still faithful to true spirit and ideas of Black Metal, particulary to Black Metal underground... Do not forget that true Black Metal it is intransigence and inflexibility, resistance and persistence, rage and hatred, severity and retribution... Black and white... Although today many people sell their bands and money is the only god for them, although they let Black Metal to be commercial trend... But there are still some people who will never give up... We dedicate this LP to these people... Darkness covers the underground... We still can realize our ideas and plans. Black Metal is the music of our resistance and protest against the system of captivating and destroying of our pagan identity, identity of White Inhabitants of this land.
