A fickle lizard, the ocean's deadly call The ship glides on the silent waves Into the unknown He cannot turn around For him it's much too late He rushes back into the oar And rolls towards his fate The ship cuts through the male quietness, nobody may clearly hear The oar strokes show their mighty fleet, battle's drawing near His shot pops loud and wild, he's waiting for his day Then suddenly, a dragon ship appears out of haze Back on northern shores Just as he once swore He vowed to return And to make them pay The night oar, the wind breaks off, its wisdom lifts away A mighty viking fleet appears, patiently they wait Death or victory, words by which they stand No turning back, infallible kill, led by thy command All like gravious hordes and shields, the enemy's ahead We'll make this bay our battlefield and fill the waves with dead Darkness then descends, day turns into night A massive cloud of thousand arrows pierces the misty sky With unenforced and disease clash, a battle now begins Cries of war as weapons clash, yet certain who will win Thunder rolls across the waves, lightning crushes the sky Claws release, hell begins to creak, as arrows all unfurl Hear the birds' cries for war, they call to a mighty sword The fury in their raging eyes will burn forevermore Hear the weapons shake, feel the arrows sting They climb onto the outraged ship and begin to swing The fight is fierce as they attack with sword and axe, no guts, no glory Out of piety they won't back down, they march along with heart and fury Then it turns, the viking ships give way as soon as they are in battle Standing firm, fight till death, they refuse to die like cats or fighting for a slave No hope's more, so close to revenge, cause war gets so far They dance before him, it's like the battle fades He sees his father's eyes as he's struck into the wind Back on northern shores Just as he once swore He has met his fate In these cold, dark waves He looks to clouds up high A dead and distant stare She comes out of the light See the chariot flare Standing on the shore He hears her silent call Freedom leads him through the door Into the great hall
