Back On Northern Shores Lyrics - Jomsviking - Amon Amarth

A thick fog lies ahead 

The ocean's deadly calm 

Their ship glides on the silent waves 

Into the unknown 

He cannot turn around 

For him it's much too late 

He puts his back into the oar 

And rows towards his fate 

The ship cuts through, the milk white mist 

Through the blind they clearly hear 

The oar strokes of their mighty fleet 

Battle's drawing near 

His heart pounds loud and wild 

He's waited for this day 

Then suddenly a dragon's head 

Appears out of the haze 

Back on the Northern shores 

Just as he once swore 

He vowed to return (to return) 

And to make them burn 

Then a Northern wind picks up 

It sweeps the mist away 

A might viking fleet appears 

Patiently they wait 

Death or victory, words by which they stand 

No turning back In for the kill 

Led by thy command 

"All men grab your swords and shields, the enemies lay ahead, 

We'll make this bay our battlefield and fill the waves with dead" 

Darkness then descends 

Day turns into night 

A massive cloud of thousand arrows 

Fills the misty sky 

With violent force, the two fleets crash 

The battle now begins 

Cries of war as weapons clash 

Uncertain who will win 

Thunder rolls 'cross the waves 

Lightning cracks the sky 

Clouds release hail big as grapes 

As arrows are let fly 

Hear the berserks roar 

They call to mighty Thor 

The fury in their raging eyes 

Will burn forever more 

Hear the weapons sing 

Feel the arrows sting 

They climb onto the Earl's great ship 

And begin to swing 

The fight is fierce as they attack 

With sword and axe, no guts, no glory 

Arrow pierced, they won't back down 

They battle on with heart and fury 

Then it turns the flanking ships give way 

And soon they are embattled 

Standing firm fight 'til death 

They refuse to die like cattle 

Fighting for his life 

No holds barred 

So close to revenge 

Close but yet so far 

Then he stands before him 

It's like the battle fades 

He sees his father's eyes 

As he's struck into the waves 

Back on Northern shores (Northern shores) 

Just as he once sword (he once sword) 

He has met his fate (met his fate) 

In these cold dark waves (cold dark waves) 

He looks to clouds up high 

A dead and distant stare 

She comes out of the light 

See the chariot flare 

Standing on the shore 

He hears her silent call 

Freja leads him through the door 

Into the great hall
