Baskavígin 05:08
The tides have drawn a path for us As we pursue the northern star Reykjanes’ ridge marks the end of the world But we were born to die Vestfirðir’s soil seemed dead But sea was full of life The locals came and joined the hunt Paradise had been found Four hundred years, the law exists The Basque paid for their sins But finally those thirty two made their amends So here we stand up, singing in their names For ju mala gissuna Heriotza da isuna For ju mala gissuna Ordaindu zor duzuna

It’s the wondrous case that remains impossible Far worse than the time when I lost my keys at home I have slayed all kinds of ferocious forms of life But this injustice is more than what I can understand Can somebody tell me who the fuck stole my beer? I will grind the guts to the one who stole my beer Is there one who knows who the fuck stole my beer? I will crush the skull of the one who stole my beer I just need an answer, have I lost all that I had? What is left to do when you lose the meaning of life? Maybe it’s forty two, maybe it’s pizza, or maybe it’s love? But for me it’s beer, so respect me and be gone!

There’s a cold breeze in the air Time to rise again The sun cries at the break of dawn Telling the story of an end In times when winter dies With crystals made of ice I’m coming back to home A chisel for a heart of stone The devil’s in disguise You shall be quick and wise He’s thirsty for our souls and lives You are not welcome here We answer loud and clear It’s certain he will not agree The raging lightning kills the night Paleness turns to life Then he shows up as a white hare Soulless shy nightmare One last hunt for a long lifetime Will not find its rhyme The echoes will be heard no more For this voice forlorn

Colossal 04:48
There is always one first breath, but I'll never meet my last From the edge of the world to the heart of our home Fertility bathes my vision Impurity lies away far from this domain Behold this mighty landscape, it's not long you'll remain Forgotten hills the first I saw when I was born The rivers taught me rules so I'd live forevermore The soil brought everything I needed all along It had just dawned on me I would become unbreakable But your end was told before our beards did start to grow Bend down to your knees, you will always stand below You will not withstand the blast of the hyperboreans We're colossal! Addressed with disdain, we learnt how to prevail Together from the cradle, but never to know our grave Enemies are a lesson to make you rise up from below Always stare into their eyes, and never look away The sins from our past lives have all been left behind And now the ones who sin will have no place to hide The skies were made for us, high we rise and never fall As long as we’re above, none will ever claim our throne

In these days of decay stranding right into the void Seeking for infinity morphing into empty shells The further you push the boundaries The quicker they will crush you down Don’t curse the ones already accursed Let your inner beast lead the flock of sheep The hourglass endlessly falls and the tides, they never stop As puppets, we are tied to the cords it’s time to end the curse... now It is time to end the curse We’re set to break your spell To flee this soul hellhole To reach for the glory we will tell our own story reject all the madness away The scum we’ll expel to abandon this hell into the curse we fall, once again

Patxi Porroi 04:39
Gauerdiko ilunean, ibarreko bideetan Misteriotsu eta umila, dabil Patxi bueltaka Ibai eta mendian zehar beti osagaien bila Patxiren etxe zaharrak galdu zituen hormak Baina beira bilduma betiko lekuan da Gaua heltzerakoan edabeak prestatzera Patxi! Maisua! Basoko zaindaria Porroia eskuan eta irainak ahoan Patxi! Nor da? Harro eta eskuzabal Goizeko lehen orduan kriston aje itzela Ezerri ez dio ezetz (ez!) basurde zein arrano beldurra beti sortuz (bai!) ez da burutik sano Patxi! Maisua! Basoko zaindaria Porroia eskuan eta irainak ahoan Patxi! Nor da? Harro eta eskuzabal Beti dira heroiak ahantziak direnak ENGLISH TRANSLATION In the darkness of midnight By the pathways in the lands Mysterious and humble Patxi is wandering around Across the rivers and hills Always looking for ingredients The old house of Patxi Already lost its walls But the glass collection Still remains in its place When the night comes over him He’s ready to craft his beverages Patxi! Mastermind Keeper of the forest With a pitcher in his hand And blasphemy in his mouth Patxi! Who’s him? Proud and munificent At the first light of dawn With his classic hangover He never says no at all (no!) Wild boar or eagle, he doesn’t care Always spreading fear (yes!) He is always off his head Patxi! Mastermind Keeper of the forest With a pitcher in his hand And blasphemy in his mouth Patxi! Who’s him? Proud and munificent The heroes are the ones Who always are forgotten

Paganauts 04:39
Five centuries ago, a story unknown This tale was stained with deceit A vessel designed to travel the seas Safe journey assured to the ones without fear A path through the storms, sailing around the globe With bare hands they built a ship with no peer It was really one of a kind Tirelessly working, by day and by night No rest until everything’s done The carracks were five, but this one became the queen Nao Victoria! Nao Victoria! Domingo was the rightful one Nao Victoria! Nao Victoria! It’s ours and we’ll claim it back It’s running through our blood The might of the tides and the floods Up high the storms we soar They called us Paganauts Arising from the depths We’ll find your home again Don’t blame us, for we were taught this way And we’ll keep on till the end Ruling the seas, spreading disease We erase your existence with ease Dividing the waters to terminate life Forever we’ll be Paganauts

We are only seeds that need to grow In this plentiful world The air we breathe, the rain that falls Is not enough at all We need to evade reality Unleash the beast inside Some jugs of beer should be enough To set our souls on fire Give us beer, give us mead What we always need Give us wine, give us rum And let's get some fun Give us food, give us drinks Our only dreams And tonight we'll set our souls on fire Give us booze, give us roast What we love the most Give us fire, give us ice Oh it feels so nice Give us pale, give us ale Golden seas to sail And tonight we'll set our souls on fire The ivy entwines the woods to welcome the afternoon The sun kneels before the moon And so the madness is set to bloom Beyond the realms of darkness We travel into light The stars will bathe the universe To set our souls on fire The horizon lies beneath the sun And darkness leaves the land behind Our eyes now shine at this day's birth Smiles and joy is all we find Give us love, give us hate Kiss us at the first date And tonight we'll set our souls on fire

-- PT. 1: SALTVS VASCONVM -- Paradisu laztana Errukigabea baina fidela Bide malkartsuen erresuma Arerio guztien azken pausoa Zuregan jartzen dut nire fedea Aspaldi jasotako maitasuna Erakutsidazu ibilbidea Oztopo guztiak gainditzera Ireki nizun nire bihotza Oinazea baztertzeko itxaropenaz Barkatutako irain krudelak Gauero datozkit bisitatzera You had the chance to make a difference But wasted it all The evil streams are rooted now And they will claim the toll You will be the last one, they will come the first Now is the time for all your regrets And there is no shelter, there's no extra chance You’d better prepare and make your best prays Maliciously bridging the land with your shakes No ransom on earth to pay for your mistakes Bewildered you left me at the heart of this maze Downtrodden you’ll live for the rest of your days I curse you, I damn you, I doom you I condemn you to hell -- PT. 2: AGER VASCONVM -- Munduko urre guztia ez zait balio Zure gertutasuna ez sentitzeko Euri eta hotzean dut bero arima Zugandik urrun hiltzen da bizitza Iluntasunez beteriko lurra Argiztatzeko agertu zinen zu Itxarongo dut nire heriotza Zure baitan ez baita arrotza When the first humans left their footsteps and nature gave its children a name The seasons and ages dictated the fate of a world built as heaven on earth As the faces of the true gods reveal and we’re blessed by humidity and haze with events on course and all bids in place the game of life shows its true face We received the ancient knowledge And learnt to live through the pain But strong as the world we will rise again Destroy everyone of your spells The forests and hills collide with the air Where we all get rid of despair The soundscape goes loud, the lands singing proud all bow to the sound... of the ancient Basque land!! The ancient Basque land!!
