Blood-Red Axes Lyrics


Blacksmith, hammer the iron

Temper and shape it for war -

Arm my hand with thy forge's best

For I sail with the dawn to foreign shores!

Fell deeds of death await me

Blood and fire in the heart of battle

The song of Valkyries from the sky

Is what sets my veins aflame and gets me high!

Axes dyed blood-red;

The breath of Odin down my neck -

Allfather walk beside me today

And soon I'll join you at thy table!

Ravens fill the sky

And black-feathered arrows alike -

A song of death rides the gates

An epitaph for warrior that fell this day...

Crimson froths the stream

Steel is cold and fears no hate:

I will ride upon the raging waves

And storm the yonder shore, fearless and brave!

Axes dyed blood-red;

The breath of Odin down my neck -

Allfather walk beside me today

And soon I'll join you at thy table!
