I sail away from my homeland My missions to raid and plunder I fight, I will rage, I will sunder I hail the Thunder God I look at the sky Watch the waves turning into foam I send my prayers against the wind And I hope theyll reach my home I spent weeks on the ocean My heart filled with devotion At last in the mist theres a shoreline A sight that is so divine As I set my feet on foreign soil I feel so anxious my blood begins to boil I leave my ship and walk across the shore The journey goes on, I search and I explore Now I prepare for war As the day goes by I must fight or die When the crows fly low Its my time to go I wont fall today I see the arrows are flying I will be the last man standing I hear desperate cries of the dying Lives lost for the land, the king See the enemy flee Still Im holding my bloodstained sword My brothers laying by my side They have lived, they have died for victory A whispers heard in the air Dont hang your head in despair I make offers to keep gods satisfied I honour the friends who fought for them and died Well meet on the other side for one more time As the day went by I was standing still All the crows flew high Above the blood Id spilled I felt my guilt I will raise my horn And Ill drink the ale For the dead I mourn For the gods I hail Its been a long day Its time to go home I hope someones waiting for me there Ill bring home fortune and fame and pain Now Im on my way Through stormy waters I will sail And I hope theyll know my name Theyll know my face Long have been these years away I know theyve brought you into tears And I pray Im there one day Im back to stay I wont have to fight I feel my heart beat I can sleep at night My life is complete And I know Im home again I will raise my horn And Ill drink the ale For the dead I mourn For the gods I hail So I have done I will raise my horn And Ill drink the ale For the dead I mourn For the gods I hail So I have done I did raise my horn And I drank the ale For the dead I mourned For the gods I hailed And my day went by Time to say goodbye Now the crows fly low Its my time to go My name lives on I am going home Timo Kotipelto Vocals Matias Kupiainen Guitars Jens Johansson Keyboards Lauri Porra Bass Rolf Pilve Drums
