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
