One Thousand Burning Arrows Lyrics - Jomsviking - Amon Amarth

They bring him to the shore 

His ship is ready made 

He will not see them anymore 

Here he cannot stay 

The brotherhood is gathered 

Their faces as hard as stone 

They have come to take farewell 

In silence they mourn 

Our king has left our ranks 

A wise and noble man 

We owe him loyalty and thanks 

He ruled with a steady hand 

He will be missed by all 

His heart has now been stilled 

Tonight he'll dine in odin's hall 

There he'll drink his fill 

The ship glides gently on the waves 

As day turns into night 

One thousand burning arrows 

Fill the starlit sky 

Two ravens on the longship 

They spread their pitch-black wings 

And lift up to the burning sky 

A send-off for a king 

Into flames the longship burst into flames 

Black smoke is rising high 

To the eternal night 

Into flames the whole world burst into flames 

Nothing will be the same 

Things will forever change 

The flames are raging higher 

They gnaw at wood and flesh 

Soon the ship will break apart 

And sink into the depth 

This night we drink in silence 

And when the morning breaks 

Our king has left this world to walk 

Through Valhalla's gates
