The Dragons' Flight Across The Waves Lyrics - Once Sent From The Golden Hall - Amon Amarth

Alone he stands in the doorway 

His family still asleep 

Gazing at the starlit horizon 

And the moonsparkling sea 

When dawn comes he must leave them 

His home, his children and loved 

For his destiny beyond those waves 

Known only to the Norns 

He's already dressed ready to leave 

His four friends are waiting by the shore 

Each with a dragon ship 

And one hundred men prepared for war 

He returns to his bed kissing 

His sleeping wife goodbye 

And as he leaves his youngest son 

A tear rolls from his eye 

They set sail with the first morning rays 

Heading for glorious wars 

And as the five ships steer out from the bay 

Their hearts pound like never before 

The wind is strong, the sun is warm 

Their Dragons fly across the waves 

No greenfaces are seen here onboard 

Only a crowd of braves 

Many nights pass 

And days long as a year 

They await the battle 

They await without fear 

On the morning of the fifth day 

Before the sun arose 

They hear bells chime and see pyres 

Torched at a nearby coast 

"LOWER THE SAIL, GRAB YOUR OARS, 

NOW MEN IT'S TIME TO ACT! 

ROW LIKE THE WIND TO THE SHORE, 

ROW LIKE THE WIND TO ATTACK!"
