Lost Saga

I sail away from my homeland

My mission's 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 againt the wind

And I hope they'll reach my home

I spent weeks on the ocean

My heart filled with devotion

At last in the mist there's 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

It's my time to go

I won't 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 I'm holding my bloodstained sword

My brother's laying by my side

They have lived, they have died for victory

A whisper's heard in the air

"Don't hang your head in despair"

I make offers to keep gods satisfied

I honour the friends who fought for them and died

We'll 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 I'd spilled

I felt my guilt

I will raise my horn

And I'll drink the ale

For the dead I mourn

For the gods I hail

It's been a long day

It's time to go home

I hope someone's waiting for me there

I'll bring home fortune and fame and pain

Now I'm on my way

Through stormy waters I will sail

And I hope they'll know my name

They'll know my face

Long have been these years away

I know they've brought you into tears

And I pray I'm there one day

I'm back to stay

I won't have to fight

I feel my heart beat

I can sleep at night

My life is complete

And I know I'm home again

I will raise my horn

And I'll drink the ale

For the dead I mourn

For the gods I hail

So I have done

I will raise my horn

And I'll 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

It's my time to go

My name lives on

I am going home
