Runes To My Memory

We rode the rivers of the Eastern trail
 Deep in the land of the Rus
 Following the wind in our sails
 And the rhythm of the oars
 No shelter in this hostile land
 Constantly on guard
 Ready to fight and defend
 Our ship 'til the bitter end
 We came under attack
 I received a deadly wound
 A spear was forced into my back
 Still, I fought on
 
 ♪
 When I am dead
 Lay me in a mound
 Raise a stone for all to see
 Runes carved to my memory
 ♪
 Here I lie on the river bank
 A long, long way from home
 Life is pouring out of me
 Soon I will be gone
 I tilt my head to the side
 And think of those back home
 I see the river rushing by
 Like blood runs from my wound
 Here I lie on wet sand
 I will not make it home
 I clinch my sword in my hand
 Say farewell to those I love
 ♪
 When I am dead
 Lay me in a mound
 Place my weapons by my side
 For the journey to hall up high
 When I am dead
 Lay me in a mound
 Raise a stone for all to see
 Runes carved to my memory
 To my memory
 To my memory
