Across the Black and Barren Sea Lyrics


We land on foreign shores

With death on our minds

Odin grant victory

The clash of steel now sounds

Wounds that never heal

Piercing through skin and bone

Screams of agony

Fill the evening sky

The river flows crimson red

One by one we fall

And so do they

A battle preserved through all time

Fallen in battle

My last breath I breathe

Awaiting my final slumber

Brothers fall by me

And meet the same fate

Valhalla calls us all home

The battle now concludes

All the foe lie dead

Crying out for their gods

The cost paid was great

Many warriors dead

Never to see home again

The few that remain

Mend sturdy rafts

Upon which the bodies of the slain

The rafts sail across

The black and barren sea

As archers stand on the shore

Ablaze the arrow tips

Ready, aim, and fire

Arrows brighten the blackened sky

The smell of burnt flesh

Rising through the air

Forever, Bound By Darkness
