Crimson Rain Lyrics - Singles - Einherjer

[Lyrics by Frode Glesnes] 

[Music by Gerhard Storesund] 

I've had my courage measured 

By the great heroic death 

Behind a grisly image 

A grim and ghastly wrath 

A striking portrait hidden 

In a cruel and ancient vision 

Dark my pride of bravery 

Through the eye of Odin I see.... 

An axe-age,a sword-age.a wind-age,a wolf-age 

Before the wrecking of the world 

Soared through storm clouds 

The force of fate 

Weaving the web of war 

Nightfall doomfall 

Death come forth 

Beware the Crimson rain 

Precious arts of warfare 

Gaining mortal sacrifice 

The taste of blood the foaming frenzy 

All berserkers rage 

Emerging from a bloodred sky 

As storming birds of prey 

Shrieking Screaming Raging's menace 

Catch the blood and await the fallen 

My spear spreads fear my sword still kill 

A grinding death my will 

To be seen to be felt 

Who dies first who follows after 

My infinite powers like the 

Strength of a storming sea 

So it is for now and 

So shall it forever be 

An axe-age,a sword-age.a wind-age,a wolf-age 

Before the wrecking of the world 

Soared through storm clouds 

The force of fate 

Weaving the web of war 

Nightfall doomfall 

Death come forth 

Beware the Crimson rain 

Sacrifice my life for Odins court 

Grant immortality 

Rise again to life the heroic dead 

Await the horns sound 

In days of yore, in truths of tales then told: 

(Odin :) 

You and every one of you 

Who follow me are born into my clan 

I mark as my own. 

An axe-age,a sword-age.a wind-age,a wolf-age 

Before the wrecking of the world 

Soared through storm clouds 

The force of fate 

Weaving the web of war 

Nightfall doomfall 

Death come forth 

Become the Crimson rain
