Lyrics

[01:56.94] I sail away from my homeland
[01:59.60] My mission's to raid and plunder
[02:02.64] I fight, I will rage, I will sunder
[02:05.77] I hail the Thunder God
[02:08.97] I look at the sky
[02:11.29] Watch the waves turning into foam
[02:14.35] I send my prayers againt the wind
[02:17.77] And I hope they'll reach my home
[02:21.75] I spent weeks on the ocean
[02:24.74] My heart filled with devotion
[02:28.49] At last in the mist there's a shoreline
[02:31.42] A sight that is so divine
[02:35.09] As I set my feet on foreign soil
[02:40.10] I feel so anxious my blood begins to boil
[02:46.61] I leave my ship and walk across the shore
[02:52.86] The journey goes on, I search and I explore
[02:58.95] Now I prepare for war
[03:05.38] As the day goes by
[03:08.51] I must fight or die
[03:11.64] When the crows fly low
[03:14.62] It's my time to go
[03:17.78] I won't fall today
[03:21.66] I see the arrows are flying
[03:24.65] I will be the last man standing
[03:28.40] I hear desperate cries of the dying
[03:31.62] Lives lost for the land, the king
[03:34.21] See the enemy flee
[03:36.63] Still I'm holding my bloodstained sword
[03:39.67] My brother's laying by my side
[03:43.60] They have lived, they have died for victory
[03:47.77] A whisper's heard in the air
[03:50.20] "Don't hang your head in despair"
[03:53.73] I make offers to keep gods satisfied
[03:59.10] I honour the friends who fought for them and died
[04:05.21] We'll meet on the other side for one more time
[04:11.32] As the day went by
[04:14.99] I was standing still
[04:18.05] All the crows flew high
[04:21.13] Above the blood I'd spilled
[04:24.47] I felt my guilt
[04:27.70] I will raise my horn
[04:30.59] And I'll drink the ale
[04:33.49] For the dead I mourn
[04:36.86] For the gods I hail
[04:40.13] It's been a long day
[04:57.18]
[06:42.10] It's time to go home
[06:48.37] I hope someone's waiting for me there
[06:56.65] I'll bring home fortune and fame and pain
[07:56.34] Now I'm on my way
[08:03.35] Through stormy waters I will sail
[08:11.31] And I hope they'll know my name
[08:17.90] They'll know my face
[08:21.94] Long have been these years away
[08:28.07] I know they've brought you into tears
[08:36.35] And I pray I'm there one day
[08:42.75] I'm back to stay
[08:46.78] I won't have to fight
[08:52.17] I feel my heart beat
[08:58.32] I can sleep at night
[09:03.99] My life is complete
[09:10.19] And I know I'm home again
[09:17.29] I will raise my horn
[09:21.29] And I'll drink the ale
[09:25.06] For the dead I mourn
[09:29.49] For the gods I hail
[09:34.28] So I have done
[09:37.38] I will raise my horn
[09:40.18] And I'll drink the ale
[09:43.32] For the dead I mourn
[09:46.04] For the gods I hail
[09:48.62] So I have done
[09:52.52] I did raise my horn
[09:55.45] And I drank the ale
[09:58.29] For the dead I mourned
[10:00.86] For the gods I hailed
[10:05.04] And my day went by
[10:07.39] Time to say goodbye
[10:10.42] Now the crows fly low
[10:13.47] It's my time to go
[10:16.98] My name lives on
[10:20.14] I am going home
[10:44.45]
