Shores In Flames Lyrics - Hammerheart - Bathory

Mother winter leaves our land 

And opens wide the seas 

The lukewarm breeze does beckon me 

As it whispers through the trees 

It says: Set your sails 

And let me take your ship to foreign shores 

Take farewell of those near you 

And your land of the North! 

The wild cold deep black ocean's waves 

Invites my hungry heart 

Cry not my love I'll return 

Only death can keep us apart 

Oden in the sky up high 

Let the Ravens of yours fly 

To guide us on our sail to foreign shores 

Let your Ravens fly 

The wind blows through my hair 

fills our sails with hope and pride 

Caress these lines of Oak, wind 

Do not throw us all aside 

The wild cold deep black ocean's waves 

As wide as sky above 

Carry us, oh, Gods of sea 

Don't take us down below 

Now approach the shore at dawn 

All is still the light of daybreak is yet to be born 

Clad in morning dew asleep 

The city's walls rise before us men from the seas 

Carrying cold steel at our sides 

No time to lose at sunbirth we attack the city by surprise 

Down the coastlines with the wind we reign 

Men of the North we leave the shores in flames 

Shores in Flames 

Fire! 

Thor of thunder way up high 

Swing your Hammer that cracks the sky 

Send the wind to fill our sails and take us home 

Guide your sons, us, home 

When the wind cries out my name 

And time has come for me to die 

Then wrap me in my cape 

And lay my sword down at my side 

Then place me on a ship of Oak 

And let it drift with tide 

Let the flames purify my soul 

On its way to hall up high 

Up high 

Fire!
