One Thousand Burning Arrows Lyrics

They bring him to the shore
His ship is ready made
He will not see them anymore
Here he cannot stayThe brotherhood is gathered
Their faces hard as stone
They have come to take farewell
In silence they mourn"Our king has left our ranks
A wise and noble man
We owe him loyalty and thanks
He ruled with a steady handHe will be missed by all
His heart has now been stilled
Tonight he'll dine in Odin's hall
There he'll drink his fill"The ship glides gently on the waves
As day turns into night
One thousand burning arrows
Fill the starlit skyTwo ravens on the longship
They spread their pitch-black wings
And lift up to the burning skyA send-off for a king! Into flames!

The longship burst into flames!
Black smoke is rising high
To the eternal night Into flames!The whole world burst into flames!
Nothing will be the same
Things will forever change
The flames are raging higherThey gnaw at wood and flesh
Soon the ship will break apart And sink into the depth T
his night we drink in silenceAnd when the morning breaks
Our king has left this world
Thru Valhalla's gate
