Amon Amarth The Dragon's Flight Across The Waves lyrics

Alone he stands in the doorway
His family still asleep
Gazing at the starlit horizon
And the moon sparkling sea

When dawn comes he must leave them
His home, his children and loved
For his destiny beyond those waves
Known only to the Norns

He's already dressed, ready to leave
His four friends are waiting by the shore
Each with a dragon ship
And one hundred men prepared for war

He returns to his bed
Kissing his sleeping wife goodbye
And as he leaves his youngest son
A tear rolls from his eye

They set sail with the first morning rays
Heading for glorious wars
And as the five ships steer out from the bay
Their hearts pound like never before


The wind is strong, the sun is warm
Their dragons fly across the waves
No green faces are seen here on board
Only a crowd of braves

Many nights pass
And days long as a year
They await the battle
They await without fear

On the morning of the fifth day
Before the sun arose
They hear bells chime and see pyres
Torched at a nearby coast

Lower the sail, grab your oars
Now men, it's time to act
Row like the wind to the shore
Row like the wind to attack
