Battlecry Lyrics


Prophecies are written there on high

By the hand of Gods on the cloudy across -

I will fulfill each one and all

I will meet my fate with spear, shield and sword!

Thunder rends the celestial dome

Ravens call to the one-eyed God:

Thor battles dragons in the sky

As we, below, raise the battlecry!

To fight as warriors fight

To die as heroes only die:

To dream the everlasting dream

Through the flames of the fray

I ride!

Metal on metal rings the funeral bell:

It tolls the hour of demise

For all my enemies alike

When forth to meet them I ride!

Thunder rends the celestial dome

ravens call to the one-eyed God:

Thor battles dragons in the sky

As we, below, raise the battlecry!

I rise on the wind, I ride like a curse!

I ride on the field, I ride down the foe!

I ride across the vale; I ride 'neath the stars

I ride upon the horse no man could ever ride!

And when I reach the sky

I know I will have died -

Screaming the battlecry!
