Folkearth - When Long Ships Arrive lyrics

The secrets of the wind Are whispered to the leaves The song of hidden creeks In the bronzing Autumn light -elvendance in the twilight...the riddles of the sea Raise a murmur to the shore O mermaid,answer me! Where's now the hero Did he stand or did he fall? I yearn for the tide When long ships arrive Underneath the amber sky Wherein Odin's ravens fly! Rolling thunder in the distance A heavy rain begins to pour I welcome the chariot of Thor The wrath of heavens above -full of pride I raise my sword! The dying sound of battle horns The screams subside on the field The creek I knew so long ago Now red it foams and rolls Carrying my blood to Valhalla's hall! I yearn for the tide When long ships arrive Underneath the amber sky Wherein Odin's ravens fly!
