Einherjer - The Ballad Of The Swords lyrics

Across the moor

We Norsemen rode

& skalds to us sung

That days of glory

Soon should be

When swords bloodred were swung

"One-eyed father

Give us the strength

My brave kinsmen & I

In Valhalla I

Your mighty men will meet

If in this battle I die

From the sky

Your ravens watching me

Both of them I see

Thank you father

For letting me know

You watch over me"

At the moor

The ravens spoke to me

While skalds did their song

A bitter loss

Was soon to come

For those I were among

Across the moor

We Norsemen rode

& skalds to us sung

That days of glory

Soon should be

When swords bloodred were swung

I say to you I ask you to

For once be your own lord

Come with me

Be part of my

Ballad of the swords

A sudden clash

Where swords were drawn

Was the beginning of my end

With a norsemans pride

& courage I fought

I would to Hel them send

Instead I felt

Cold chilling steel

Stab me from behind

A cravens deed

Indeed it was

Peace he should not find

Faded I did

Strange beauty I met

The dream for me came true

Brought up I were

Bifrost I saw

My mortal life were through

Your mortal life

With children & wife

Wouldn't have no value

If you knew as I

About life up here

You would die to be here forever
