| Background information |
Awaken is a song by 
. "Awaken" is quite possibly the only Dethklok song with lyrics not written by Nathan Explosion (although in real life, it was actually written by Brendon Small, as with every song in the show). It was taken from a spellbook. The spell that was used for the lyrics, when said, awakened the lake troll Mustakrakish, who would then proceed to wreak havoc. However, due to the death of Mustakrakish, the spell is no longer active and is useless; thus, the song could be played without danger of Mustakrakish wreaking havoc.
History[]
"Awaken" was written by the band for a new Finnish national anthem. They traveled to Finland to apologize for a past incident, but unable to finish their speech, Nathan decided to have the band play the song anyway. As the band played the song, Mustakrakish was awakened due to the lyrics being taken from an ancient Finnish book of spells.
Music video[]
A music video was made for (the touring band) to use during live performances. It simply shows the band playing as well as Mustakrakish being summoned through various shots, as well as the spellbook the lyrics were taken from.
The song was also used in an animated short on YouTube called Batmetal Forever. Dethklok have previously had their songs used in the Batmetal series.

Mustakrakish (x2)
The time has come, to awaken him
I call upon the ancient lords of the underworld
To bring forth this beast and
Awaken (x4)
Take the land, that must be taken
Awaken (x4)
Devour worlds, smite forsaken
Rise up from your thousand year-old sleep
Break forth from your grave eternally
I command you to
Rise (x8)
I'm the conjurer of demons
I'm the father of your death
I bring forth the ancient evil
I control his every breath
I instigate your misfortune
With the birth of killing trolls
I awaken Armageddon
Feeding on a thousand souls
Awaken (x4)
Mustakrakish (musta) (x8)
Awaken (x4)
Take the land, that must be taken
Awaken, awaken, awaken, awaken
Devour worlds, smite forsaken
Rise up from your thousand year-old sleep
Break forth from your grave eternally
Weak will die and land will all be burned
Mustakrakish, king and death to worlds
I command you to
Rise (x16)
And awaken
