Amon Amarth Runes To My Memory Lyrics

Runes To My Memory Lyrics

We hold the rivers of the eastern trail

Deep in the land of the Rus

Following the wind in our sails

And the rythm of the oars

No shelter in this hostile land

Constantly on guard

Ready to fight and defend, our ship to bitter end



We came under attack

I received a deadly wound

A spear was forced into my back

Still I fought on



When I am dead, lay me in a mound

Raise a stone for all to see

Runes carved to my memory!



Here I lie on the river bank

A long long way from home

Life is pouring out of me

Soon I will be gone

I tilt my head, to the side

And think of those back home

I see the river rushing by

The blood runs from my wound



Here I lie, on wet sand

I will not make it home

I clench my sword in my hand

Say farewell to those I love



When I am dead, lay me in a mound

Place my weapons by my side

For the journey to hall up high



When I am dead, lay me in a mound

Raise a stone for all to see

Runes carved to my memory!

To my memory
