Jam Along & Learn...
When we started out we were quite heavily motorhead influenced,
earliest stuff that we did.
Newcastle band a couple of years ago,
years ago,
But the other guys in the band were fed up with Saxon [D]
and [E] Iron Maiden,
quite difficult time [D#] persuading them to actually go faster
[G#] to actually sing about this satanic thing.

_ _ _ _ When we started out we were quite heavily motorhead influenced,
and you can [D#] hear that from the very earliest stuff that we did.
And [E] then listening to a [D#] certain Newcastle band a couple of years ago,
[C#] _ _ what would that be, nine years ago,
_ [D#] we realised that yes, you can do that.
But the other guys in the band were fed up with Saxon [D] _
and [E] Iron Maiden,
and I had [F] a quite difficult time [D#] persuading them to actually go faster
and [G#] to actually sing about this satanic thing.
[C#] And we did that for three records.
And then I realised [D#] that _ in my [F#] lyrics I was more or less critical
to this whole religious stuff than I thought I was.
And [F] I realised Sweden [D#] had a very _ [G] _ _
interesting mythology in itself,
the Viking thing.
And you [F#] had to do it in the right [C#] way
so that people wouldn't believe that you were serious about it,
that yes, we _ do rape and pillage.
It was just [G] a story thing like this.
[F#] We're not told the _ [E] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ truth
_ [B] That we're all just a [A] lamb that is slain
[F#] Of the great [E] strangled beast
[B] Here come the strange, fainting armour
[A] _ [G] Swift in awful _ _ circulation
Coming [E] out of there like [D] flowers
_ [C#] And in our [C] hearing aids
[A] _ [F#] Oh
We [D] _ _ [F#] haven't decided on whether we want to make another studio record
because, [G#] like I said before,
going from Twilight of the Gods to where,
_ you would either have to take it one step further
and then perhaps people wouldn't be able to understand it
and it would just be _ absolutely nothing.
And otherwise you could go back and do what you did five years ago
and then you wouldn't progress anyway. _
You could certify yourself [E] musically
or you could certify some people
[D#] and sell a certain [D] amount of records and make sure to make some money.
And if that's what you want and if that's the ambitions you have, _
_ [E] _ that's okay.
But we'll do these two Jubilee-themed things first.
_ One [D] now and one [F#] _ early next year. _ _
And if it turns out to be a success,
if we _ surprise people in a positive way
with this unreleased material which is on these two CDs,
then perhaps we will dig a little deeper into what we have on tape
_ [D] and perhaps come up with something. [Bm] So.

[G] We have [F#] _ _ used two tracks
that [G] were recorded on a four [B]-channel equipment _
back in July, I believe, 83.
[F] And that [Em] was never intended to end [D#m] up on vinyl.
The reason why it did was [F#] because a lot [D#] of fans had written during the [F#] years
asking for demos.
And [F] we said that we never did [D#] make any demos
because _ obviously we [F] didn't end up in that situation
where we had to make demos [E] to get a record [D#] deal
because we ended up with two tracks [D] on a compilation [D#] album
as early as in January 1984.
_ [G] And from then [E] on we _ _ _ [G] made an album, like I said, [E] every 20 months.
And so we've been picking the fans' [D#] favorite track
from each [D] and every one of those albums,
three or four from each [B] album, _ [Bm] best ones,
and just [D] remastered it and put it out in [F] _ _ [D#] a _ sort of a marble package.
And hopefully those who bought the records back in 83 and 84
[F#] will enjoy it in the [E] same way as they did it [F#] back then. _ _ _ _ _ _
