Enemy of Anyone
06:37

|
Morning fog, a battlefield within
I am no one less the strength of my kin
I heed the call to war on the honor of my name
Deep in my veins, a thunder beat clanging
Seek out the enemy
Seek out the enemy
Come at me in iron, come in flame
I will rip thy body from thy frame
If you won’t give and I won’t give an inch upon the valor of my blade
You’ve been measured and weighed, a heartbeat clanging
You are the enemy
You are the enemy
A creed to the valley, a creed to the rivers
A creed to my lover, my brother and sisters
I am but a battle drum, the war beat drives within me
Hail to the gods, all father
Raise a glass of blood and water
May the gust of battle take way
A thunder most prophetic
And a hunger bled poetic
Lead not my weapon astray
Be this day my last
Or a day of glory past
Leave not my valor in vain
For my mother, sister, daughter
Brother, son and father
I’ll make an enemy of anyone
Gather round the carnage of my might
I’ll find you like a shadow in the night
And when you slowly reach out for your life, you’ll reach in vain
You’ve been gutted and slain, heartbeat waning
Good-bye my enemy
Good-bye my enemy
Come with your credence and come with your fire
Come wreak your vengeance, ascend with me higher
If you seek deliverance, I’ll be your savior
War is my name
Hail to the gods, all father
Raise a glass of blood and water
May the gust of battle take way
A thunder most prophetic
And a hunger bled poetic
Lead not my weapon astray
Be this day my last
Or a day of glory past
Leave not my valor in vain
For my mother, sister, daughter
Brother, son and father
I’ll make an enemy of anyone
One cannot stand before a mountain of fire and command for it to cease
A wise man once fought for glory fore he sought to find peace
What tower built upon the rubble of battle wasn’t built by blood and sheath?
Ye who stand upon thy brick and mortar, meet the rugged earth beneath

What You're Made Of
03:20
|

|
Soft outside, make it worth my while
Share a laugh always quick to smile
Turn you round, gonna catch your shadow
Break you open, tell your insides hello
Let everyone see what you’re made of, made of
Can never unsee what you’re made of, made of
Your outside’s pretty but you’re made of, made of
Rage, lies, poisoned pride: this is what you’re made of
To the prettiest girl in the room
And knowing this is about you
She says
“I’m just a poor girl
So small in your world
Come quick, my lovely
Never you mind all the dark inside of me
Never you mind all the dark inside of me”
I gave you such pleasure
Lifted you up and brought you to the edge of
All you could be
Embracing your greed
So you think I’m tame and
Soft in your hands
Yet another mistake in your arrogance
If you ever come near me
I’ll end you gladly
Contort the truth and say you’ll
Allow me to embrace you
Seems to me you’re too two faced
To remember what you’ve done
But I do
Soft outside, make it worth my while
Share a laugh always quick to smile
I turn you around
Turn you round, gonna catch your shadow
Break you open, now
Break you open, tell your insides hello
Let everyone see what you’re made of, made of
Can never unsee what you’re made of, made of
Your outside’s pretty but you’re made of, made of
Rage, lies, poisoned pride: this is what you’re made of
And they say I’m the soul-eater, grim reaper, woe-bringer
They don’t know about your inner demeanor
Rip you up, there’s your stinger
"Never you mind all the dark inside of me"
I gave you such pleasure
Lifted you up and brought you to the edge of
All you could be
Embracing your greed
So you think I’m tame and
Soft in your hands
Yet another mistake in your arrogance
Look at my face and see
You’ve made an enemy

Ride on for night
Ride till morning light
Into the night
To death we fight
Gallop hence, fiery steed
Blaze into the night
Ride on, ride on
Glory to the fight
Bear me a horn
Wrath and might assemble
We dine in glory tonight
Ride on
May the ground beneath us tremble
For faith and valor we fight
Never to flee or cower
We ride to the final hour
A battle most satisfying
Swords ablaze and valkyrie flying
Ride on to face death or glory
Valhalla shall end our story
Ride on to deliverance
Ride on, ride on
Bear me a horn
Wrath and might assemble
We dine in glory tonight
Ride on
May the ground beneath us tremble
For faith and valor we fight

Treasure These Moments
04:05
|
|||
|
I, I will treasure these moments
Treasure these moments
I, I will treasure these moments
Treasure these moments with you
Your eyes as you gaze at me
I’ll make a detailed map of our staring match
And I love the way you seem to be
Such a fragile thing
Count the tears in your lashes
Now I hear your breath catch
As I draw my sword back
I beg these moments to last
But you are fading fast
This too shall pass on the battlefield
Yeah, yeah,
yeah
I’ll treasure this on the battlefield
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I’ll treasure these moments after
You, oh, you reach out for me
Blindly grasping
You, oh, you reach out for me
Blindly grasping
To touch, to feel
You fall into me
(My arms will hold you and then)
As you beg for mercy
Oh, it’s plain to see
You are fading fast
Yes, you shall pass on the battlefield
Yeah, yeah. yeah
I’ll treasure this on the battlefield
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I’ll treasure these moments after
Purity in each moment that you look at me
Beseechingly
I see in your eyes
Memories come alive and die
Hypnotizing, mesmerizing
Hypnotizing, mesmerizing
I take each moment you have left for myself
And I will treasure the memories of you and me
I feel you on my sword
(Treasure the memories of you and me)
A thing I can’t ignore
(Treasure the memories of you and me)
You beg me so lovely
I feel you on my sword
(Treasure the memories of you and me)
A thing I can’t ignore
(Treasure the memories of you and me)
You beg me you beg me

O, ride with me to the kingdom elite
Over fields of battle on silver wings
You’re destined for the hall of the kings so
Ride with me
Be borne away to Valhalla where
all the glory and gods and the dead remain
Await the horn for battle days
Einherjar, the glorious slain
Einherhar come fly with me
Take your place at the table and dine with me
Release all care of this pallid breath
Claim honor from the clutches of death
O, ride with me to the kingdom elite
Over fields of battle on silver wings
You’re destined for the hall of the kings so
Ride with me
Embrace your final blow
As hordes of the lesser meet Hel below
Ascend with me to your glorious throne
Einherjar, it’s time to go
Einherhar fly with me
Take your place at the table and dine with me
Release all care of this pallid breath
Claim honor from the clutches of death
We claim you from the river
We claim you for the skies
Release your body hither
Come join us as we fly
We lift your head from water
Enter the after plane
Einherjar the glorious slain

Sömn
02:22

Is anyone there, can you hear me?
I’m cold and afraid
Bodies and bones every where
Where’s my sword at?
I can’t feel my hands or my body
No breathing
Was I left behind?
Was I left behind?
No sign of anyone
I’m alone
Why can’t you see me lying on the ground?
Come around, come around, come around
Please don’t leave me, I will be found
Come around my way
Come around, come around, come around
The ground is breaking, I’m reaching out
Off in the distance I see them walking away
Don’t go, I’m still here
Don’t go
The wind through the grass on the hill, I know that
Back home where the daffodils wilt
When the heat of the sun overcomes them, overcomes them
I am trapped here
Hear me calling out
Is anyone there, can you hear me?
Why is it so cold?
Bodies and bones everywhere, everywhere
Please don’t leave me lying around
Come around, come around my way
The warmth of a touch from a kind hand
The feeling of raising your own land
The scent from the blooms in the willows
How far must I travel to get home?
To get home
To get home
To get home
To get home

Herr Mannelig
02:04
|
|||
|
Bittida en morgon innan solen upprann
Innan foglarna började sjunga
Bergatrollet friade till fager ungersven
Hon hade en falskeliger tunga
Herr Mannelig herr Mannelig trolofven i mig
För det jag bjuder så gerna
I kunnen väl svara endast ja eller nej
Om i viljen eller ej
Eder vill jag gifva en skjorta så ny
Den bästa I lysten att slita
Inte är hon sömnad av nål eller trå
Men virkat av silket det hvita
Herr Mannelig herr Mannelig trolofven i mig
För det jag bjuder så gerna
I kunnen väl svara endast ja eller nej
Om i viljen eller ej
Sådana gåfvor jag toge väl emot
Om du vore en kristelig qvinna
Men nu så är du det värsta bergatroll
Af Neckens och djävulens stämma

Hunted
04:33
|
|||
|
I speak in wind and whispered leaves
Bubbling brook and shivering trees
I kiss thy skin with ember breeze
Yet I am hunted by you
Hunted by you
I sing in sunlight, sing in rain
I cry in rivers twixt the slain
Morning birds they sing your name
Yet I am hunted by you
Hunted by you
Find me in laughter and in light
I am the forrest songs of night
I am the starlight you adore
And yet you dare to ask for more?
Dare to ask for more
Dare to ask for more
Dare to ask for more
I speak in breath, you speak in steel
I speak in love that ne’er you’ll feel
I speak in rev’rie ever real
Yet I am hunted by you
Hunted by you
You speak in fire, ne’er assuaged
You hurl yourself in thunderous rage
You plead in iron, beg in might
You part thy lips and death ignite
Lips and death ignite
Shall mercy fall at your behest?
Shall chaos reign and nary rest?
Shall fire burn and march uproar?
Shall yet you dare to ask for more?
I may storm, I fume and quake
Yet nary shall thy fire break
I have nought left for you to burn
And yet for more of me you yearn
Shall mercy fall at your behest?
Shall chaos reign and nary rest?
Shall fire burn and march uproar?
Shall yet you dare to ask for more?
What is the fire like, love?
Is it worth all you have fallen?
Do your battle cries out-roar the raging sea?
(Can it feel your body’s nature?)
Oh the time has come again love
Your barren life is calling
March on alone, you hunt without me
A new life is calling me home
A new life is calling me home
A new life is calling me home
A new life is calling me home

Don't Wanna Die Young
03:52
|
|||
|
This armor never fit me well
My sword’s too heavy, so is my maille
My shield is broken from battles past
I have a feeling this is my last
Mm-mm
The cries of battle are climbing higher
Tomorrow they build my funeral pyre
I never wanted a glorious death
No scream of anguish for my last breath
No!
I don’t want to die young and hungry
Don’t want to die ever lonely
Don’t wanna die
Don’t wanna
Don’t wanna look in the light
I don’t wanna join the fight
Don’t wanna die
Don’t wanna die
I don’t wanna die young
I don’t wanna die young
The gods are with me is what they say
But it feels so lonely on this dying day
Foes and allies all around
All alike when we hit the ground
Oh!
Don’t want to die young and hungry
Don’t want to die ever lonely
Don’t wanna die
Don’t wanna
Don’t wanna look in the light
I don’t wanna join the fight
Don’t wanna die
Don’t wanna die
I don’t wanna die young
I don’t wanna die young
Oh, father are you proud
Am I your son now?
Father are you proud?
Mother do you know
Can you feel me go?
Don’t wanna be alone
Oh!
I don’t wanna die young and hungry
(Don’t wanna die for this no)
Don’t wanna die ever lonely
(Don’t wanna die today, no)
Don’t wanna die, don’t wanna
Don’t wanna look in the light
(Not ready to go, not ready to go)
I don’t wanna join the fight
(Not ready to go-o-o)
Don’t wanna die
Don’t wanna die
I don’t wanna die young
Don’t wanna die young
No seat awaits me in Odin’s home
No valor have I ever known
All that will has come to pass
This crimson sunrise is my last
This armor never fit me well

O Valhalla
05:18
|
|||
|
Carrion bird circle high
To guard the seas of blood and bone
Atop a crimson bed, iron courage lies
Valkyrie descend, guide him home
Ye who have fallen, body slain
Heed the call of majesty, rise again
Many who travel across the veil, they sing your name
So though your breathing ends, glory claim
And so the pyre burns
And so the world turns
And so the days go ever on
O Valhalla, take him by name
May he live forever on
Glory lives forever on
O Valhalla, bring life to the slain
East of the sun
West of the moon
Body break and legend rune
A warrior never dies
His legend lives in majesty across the skies
Any who travel ‘cross this land will know his name
So though the memory fades, ne’er a soul shall be the same
And so a life is gone
And so the days go on
Another solider on the rise
O Valhalla, take him by name
May he live forever on
Glory lives forever on
O Valhalla, bring life to the slain
East of the sun
West of the moon
Body break and legend rune
Take him by name
Ride on, where the living cannot go
Fight on for the valorous in a world we do not know
Until the day when darkness comes. when nothing shall remain
I shall heed the call, I will bring honor to your name
Nahema defender
Ride on, we will never surrender
Dine tonight in glory
We live on to tell your story

Kemst þó hægt fari
Though you wander through the dark, your step be sure, the Vanir will guide thee
Journey through the edge of night, though winter comes, no death will define thee
Though you wander through the dark, your step be sure, the Vanir will guide thee
Journey through the edge of night, though winter comes, no death will define thee
As you wander through the night, your spirit rise, the Vanir beside thee
Though the harsh of winter comes, your spirit burns, the fire will guide thee

Between My Ribs
04:23
|
|||
|
Writ upon the whites of my bones
My inner nature sticking close
Hunting, gnashing, burning homes, oh
Damn the river, guard the roads
Trapped within this mighty iron foe
A piece of me you’ll never know
You’ll never know
Way-ay-a-ya, way-ay-a-ya
Way-ay-a-ya, way-ay-a-ya
I have a heart
It’s deep inside and torn apart
But if you look close you’ll see
Between my ribs the sign of it beating
And you said that I’ve been so mean
But can’t you see?
Every night I’ve been thinking of you
Every sigh I’ve been longing for you
It’s all for you
All this time I’ve been fighting for you
All my life I’ve been hiding from you
It’s you
It’s you
Way-ay-a-ya, way-ay-a-ya
Way-ay-a-ya, way-ay-a-ya
On the blood-soaked fields of war I was
Forged by pain, shaped in gore
Scraping, clawing, fighting for
A piece of heaven, where’s this great reward?
Always wanting someone to adore me
Please don’t give up trying for me
Please try for me
Way-ay-a-ya, way-ay-a-ya
Way-ay-a-ya, way-ay-a-y
Temple of blood and bone
Safe inside, I dwell alone but
Scraped upon the walls you’ll see
A cry for you, carved by me
And you said that I’ve been so mean
But can’t you see?
Every night I’ve been thinking of you
Every sigh I’ve been longing for you
It’s all for you
All this time I’ve been fighting for you
All my life I’ve been hiding from you
It’s you
It’s you
I have a heart
It’s deep inside and torn apart
But if you look close you’ll see
Between my ribs forever bleeding
Cuz you said that I’ve been so mean
And this withered heart doesn’t want to be incomplete
Why can’t you see?

Toss Me To The Wind
02:56
|
|||
|
Toss me to the wind
Adrift on the breeze I’ll be a beacon of sin
I’ll hollow my knees if it will please you, my friend
Toss me to the night
I’ll brittle my bones, dissolve to dust and take flight
Deliver the stones, I know you must for what’s right
Raw like the wound made in the wake
God left behind
Raging monsoon built up to break
You make me cry
Make me cry
Toss me to the day
I’ll take off for one flight, step, dive, and fly away
A dance in the sunlight, come alive, come what may
Toss me like an after thought
Toss me like a dream
Toss me to the lion’s den
And listen to me scream
Why don’t you toss me over board?
Toss me round the bend
Toss me and my trust away
So no one can use it
Raw like the wound made in the wake
God left behind
I’m coming home soon and I’m not yours to take
You make me cry
Raw like the wound made in the wake
God left behind
Never immune to the words that you spake
You make me cry
Toss me to the wind
Toss me to the wind
Toss me to the wind
Toss me

Run Wild
05:33
|
|||
|
A heartbeat don’t sleep till you’re dead
When the moon is rising it calls me from my bed
Oh the day is long, and the world is putting
Weight down on my feet
I got a fierce desire to break them free
A heartbeat melody’s in my head
(I am the night sky, limitless and terrifying)
The seasons turn once again
(Come find me in the woods tonight)
But before another day goes on
I’m breaking out and moving on
I’m leaving all the darkness behind
(Behind)
Now the fire’s burning
The skirts are turning
Your dark words melting away
There’s a drum beat seeping into my bones
Melting the ice and softening stone
And the melody of the night keeps calling me
Louder and louder and louder
I wanna run wild
I wanna run free
I wanna move like the stars are a part of me
Give in and reach out
Fly away with me
No one can stop us now
I wanna run, run wild
Run wild
I wanna run, run wild
Run wild
Turn, turn, mountain, turn
Toss your worry, watch it burn
Ease your way into the ground
And give in to the mighty sound
Let the darkness wash away
Leave it for another day
Feel the rhythm fill the night
For young and old and child alike
Shake your head, stomp your feet
We’re grooving to a grander beat
Turn your mind off, stop and feel
The beat and harmony is real
There’s no day, no night
So dance until your soul’s alight
Don’t be fearful, don’t be mild
We’re running free, we’re running wild
Turn mountain turn, stomp your feet
(I am the sunrise, limitless and terrifying)
We are but children of the beat
(Come find us in the woods tonight)
But before the nighttime turns to day
I’ll let the melody take way
I’m leaving reservations behind
(Behind)
Now the sun is rising
It’s energizing
The shadows are melting away
There’s a drum beat breaking into my bones
Crushing the ice and crumbling stone
And the melody of the night keeps calling me
Louder and louder and louder
I wanna run wild
I wanna run free
I wanna move like the stars are a part of me
Give in and reach out
Fly away with me
No one can stop us now
I wanna run, run wild
Run wild
I wanna run, run wild
Run wild

Some albums are like the circus or a carnival. You get lost in the fun, the happy the cheerful. This album is like the perfect candlelit warm bath. Sometimes it washes away the world. Other times you contemplate drowning yourself. This is that album.

Gunship leans hard into the DRAMA of the synthwave genre, which is really what it's all about. It's burn... intensity, kinetic energy, triumph and tragedy. The arrangements rise and fall, and the textures weave everything together into a ride you just need to get on, throw up your arms, let the wind blow back your hair, and enjoy.
