The Ballad Of The Swords Lyrics - Einherjer

Across the moor 

We Norsemen rode 

& skalds to us sung 

That days of glory 

Soon should be 

When swords bloodred were swung 

"One-eyed father 

Give us the strength 

My brave kinsmen & I 

In Valhalla I 

Your mighty men will meet 

If in this battle I die 

From the sky 

Your ravens watching me 

Both of them I see 

Thank you father 

For letting me know 

You watch over me" 

At the moor 

The ravens spoke to me 

While skalds did their song 

A bitter loss 

Was soon to come 

For those I were among 

Across the moor 

We Norsemen rode 

& skalds to us sung 

That days of glory 

Soon should be 

When swords bloodred were swung 

I say to you I ask you to 

For once be your own lord 

Come with me 

Be part of my 

Ballad of the swords 

A sudden clash 

Where swords were drawn 

Was the beginning of my end 

With a norsemans pride 

& courage I fought 

I would to Hel them send 

Instead I felt 

Cold chilling steel 

Stab me from behind 

A cravens deed 

Indeed it was 

Peace he should not find 

Faded I did 

Strange beauty I met 

The dream for me came true 

Brought up I were 

Bifrost I saw 

My mortal life were through 

Your mortal life 

With children & wife 

Wouldn't have no value 

If you knew as I 

About life up here 

You would die to be here forever
