Bathory - Baptised In Fire And Ice lyrics

Fire and Ice

Fire and Ice

Fire and Ice]

Born a Son of Nordic tribe

Early spring morning I arrived

When Sails were set, the Ships all done

To Sail with Wind a Waves for long

Down foreign shores across great waters

Many hundred miles from home

This half year deep frozen land

Where I on this morning was born

Proudly my Father took me in

His arms and walked outside

Where for the first time,

Light struck me newborn child

And even though told when older

I can almost recall the scene

When he held me high up towards

The most beautiful sky ever seen

Baptised in Fire and Ice Baptised in Fire and Ice

Baptised in Fire and Ice Baptised in Fire and Ice

Oh with gentle hands he did sway me

Over the flames to strengthen and purify

Oh, with loving words did he dab me

With spring's last snow for cleansing me his child

I grew and learned respectfully

The Earth, Wind, Water and the sky

The powers that decided the weather

And rules both the dark and light

I heard the voices of the spirits

Of the forest call my name

I saw the Hammer way up high

Cause lightning in the rain

Watching crystal flakes

Of falling snow on winter nights

Uniting with the pure white flames dance,

When reaching for the sky

Brings me back to the morning this world

First heard my battle cry

Gently swayed above the flames

And cleansed with snow and ice

Baptised in Fire and Ice Baptised in Fire and Ice

Baptised in Fire and Ice Baptised in Fire and Ice

Oh, having it with me

From the first day of my life

Oh, always carrying them within me

The powers of Fire and Ice

Now I pass unto thee

My son what was given to me

Baptised in Fire and Ice Baptised in Fire and Ice

Baptised in Fire and Ice Baptised in Fire and Ice

Oh, having it with me

From the first day of my life

Oh, always carrying them within me

The powers of Fire and Ice
