One of two unearthed rarities that was included on the 2008 re-release of North from Here, this track was originally recorded prior to Amok but never appeared on that album. Sounding more similar in style to the second album, these tracks show another path Sentenced may have taken had they decided to keep more of the extremity in their sound.

High-quality version of Sentenced's masterpiece from 1994's "The Trooper" EP. Combining the melodic elements and technicality present on North from Here with the gothic atmosphere and heavy metal foundation that would foreshadow their later works, this track is one of the band's greatest works and represents an avenue of metal that few others have explored to this date.

LYRICS:
Yes, I am here
Here at the landscape of my dreams
And what's this perfection?
I feel immortality next to me
I have lived my life in your arms, mother
now I'm back to show my gratitude
Take my life, I know that I'm worth of you
And I'll live again and I will live
through the Elk!

Now speak, Serpent, with my tongue
tell them what you think
infiltrate the venom in their veins.
Brother Wolf, take my mind, use my hands for thee
and lead the way to Hall-up-high - take their lives
Take back what is yours!
I've set this sacrifice
(And now we dance
here in this circle of flames
We praise Your Might
We praise Your power to live)

Fresh as the North Wind
You blow right to my heart
Warm as the South Breeze
my blood now covers the sand
and on we die!

We have lived our lives in your arms, mother
Now we're back show our gratitude
Take our lives, if you think we're worth of you
and we will live again among the sheep.
as the Wolves!

Now speak, Hedgehog, with my tongue
tell them what you want
and take revenge for a million lives
Sister Swan, spread thy wings, your enemies are mine
and let live those who are worth of you
taste our minds

Second and most recent full-length album from this Finnish death metal band, released in 2005 by Bestial Burst. Lots of melodic "epic" styled riffs on here that give the songs a fairly atypical feel compared to most death metal.
