Frost Giant's Daughter

The battle has been won
with frozen heart I run
across barren snow fields to my doom
Her hair is elfin gold
Her silver laugh rings cold
This strange and lovely wight I chase
to the end of the earth
Beyond the hills
I know not what trials I may face
But still I follow
The cruel maiden of the snow
She spurs me to my doom
She is like the dawn running naked o’er the snow
With wicked mirth she calls for her brothers
Their mail is white with hoarfrost
their axes raised to strike me dead
But none can stop my quest to find
The cruel maiden of the snow
Her brothers wish to have my bones
She spurs me to my doom
A strike from a sturdy hand
Wakes me from the land
That could have only been a dream
My comrades ask why I
Endured so long a flight
But i cannot see the nymph I chased
into the realm of her kin
Beyond these lands I
know not what love I may taste
But in dreams i still chase
the cruel maiden of the snow

Riddle of Steel

Raise the banners
Sound the horns
Shields will be splintered
in the metal storm
Part the sky
Tonight we ride
on wings of vengeance
towards the prize
Show me the riddle of steel!
Through the wasteland
where shadows breed
walks the northman
with a heart to heed
an oath unbroken in the fire's gleam
He walks the world in an endless dream
Show me the riddle of steel!
By Crom! It will be revealed!
The immortal wishes to fade away
He can hardly stand to live another day
But the oath stands unfulfilled
Spurred on and on by eternal will
She me the riddle of steel!

By This Axe

The smoke of sorcery is in the wind tonight
rising from the city below
I sit on this throne with crown on furrowed brow
and sleepless dreams of ancient kings
swirling through my head
But even ghosts should know no silk can tie me down
No finery can hide away the warrior within this king
By this axe I rule
By this axe I rule
With this axe I’ll win the fight
By this axe I rule
This blade will spell your doom
With this axe Ill cut you down tonight
The stygian curse flies on blackened wings
The form it takes, its fangs, its face
too horrible to see
Like a shadow it stalks down the halls of stone
It swirls and screams with eyes a gleam
It rises ‘fore the throne
Foul sorcerer’s seed born of the magic ring
He will pay in blood this night
If he wishes to be king
By this axe I rule
By this axe I rule
With this axe I’ll win the fight
By this axe I rule
This blade will spell your doom
With this axe Ill cut you down tonight

Beyond Thunder River

Painted men strike in the dead of night
Sent o’er the walls they climb
Scouts blend into the black
They known they won’t come home alive
Ancient will summons the cry
of beasts and men destined to die tonight
Pyramid of skulls shown in firelight
The shaman calls forth the fiend
Primordial beast from the swirling abyss below
Abandon hope, soon you'll feel his claws
Beyond thunder river
Nature is slave to him who is brother
of the nameless shadow
He who draws the sign of Jhebbal-Sag
Flee men, flee west or die

My bad never heard of these Lyonnais before, and boy did I miss something. Starting with "Rubicon" and immediately I am hooked, it's grabbing and not letting you go, relentlessly captivating, also the vocals, it's high-pitched powerful female vocals, and it sounds full of energy, like the singer is about to have an aneurism, but not screaming either. The album continues with plenty of energetic hooks, riffs and that catchy rhythm that keeps you rocking (e.g. Ronde de Nuit). Putain c'est BON
