Elvenpath - Northern Son lyrics

The saddest day for all the world came in the Moon of Mead When the heart of Nordland's ever greatest son did cease to beat The hordes gathered throughout the lands, fell to their knees in grief And cried a thousand tears in agony and disbelief Oh bitter came the mourning times, the sun gives no more light For one who meant the world to me has pa**ed into the night So hordes of warriors in the world, this requiem be sung For Nordland's greatest warrior that died so very young Forever be thy name remembered far and wide The thirteen candles burn for you like for all those who died The hall up high may welcome you, through blood by thunder ride And on your quest for timeless life Valkyries be your guide A burning ship of lifeless glory, to nowhere it must sail I raise the horn and drink to thee, loud be called out thy hail And though we know that life can't last, all men must die the same I know one thing which never dies, the honour of thy name Valhalla's gates now open wide for northern son Now sits by the side of fathers long time gone Called way up high by gods of thunder, wind and rain You are in our hearts and ever will remain The blood on ice is frozen in the home of those once brave Under the runes the wheel of sun, a call from out (of) the grave The wind of mayhem brings on day of wrath the dragon's breath The reaper sings an ode of war and blood and fire and d**h When blood and soul on Vinland's blooded shore have turned to grey By the lake of fire the mourner's clad in black in Asa Bay And bearers of a hammerheart know when this world is gone After his d**h they'll see the resurrection of the northern son And wherever I may ride I know you're always there And in the thick of fray and fight I know you're always there Into the dark the hammerheart shall send a shining light So let this song of hail to you ring loud into the night Valhalla's gates now open wide for northern son Now sits by the side of fathers long time gone Forever in my heart your spirit will remain And in the hall of fallen ones we'll meet again
