One By One

Aeons ago the legends tell we rode onward
 Led astray by the northern chaos gods
 Calm before the storm we came from the north
 Horses roamed in the open landscapes
 The scald sang to their kings
 Only he who battle wins
 The scald sang to their kings
 Let the battle be fought to be won
 Tremble with fear for the banner of our kings
 War now calls heed to the battle
 Hear our swords clinging in the wind
 Men cast from their saddles horses roar and scream
 Descendants of wrath and the kingdoms of fear
 The might we possess burn like fire
 The will remain in our northern hearts
 More scalps to be won - an eye for an eye
 Aeons ago the legends tell we rode onward
 Led astray by the northern chaos gods
 One by one by the northern tribe you fall
 One by one, die by the strongest of them all
 Still there's only greatness sunged to those who fell
 Who battled strong to win these wars
 One by one we took your lives
 Grey mist swirl across the meadows
 Where battles once ruled the steps
 Where the ancient armours of bronze
 Are buried and corroded by time
 Strong were those who won the war
 And the legends tell only of wrath
 As brothers of the northern tribes
 They guarded the borders of chaos
 We leave these battlefields ground
 Red were the rivers of blood
 Unforgotten by the ones
 Born of strength and glory
 Tremble with fear for the banner of our kings
 War now calls heed to the battle
 Hear our swords clinging in the wind
 Men cast from their saddles horses roar and scream
