Lyrics Runes To My Memory - Amon Amarth

Runes To My Memory

We floated down the river far to the east,
In the heart of the land of Russia.
We kept the wind in their sails
And the beat feathered.
There will be no salvation in the enemy’s land,
Only courage in our hearts.
We are ready to attack and defend
Our ship — to the death.
And now — we are under attack.
Spear thrust into his back,
My wound is mortal,
But I did not leave the system.
When I die,
Bury me in a barrow.
Put the stone in order to see everything —
In runes memory of me.
So I’m lying on the river bank.
How far it is my home!
Life is leaving me,
And soon I will die.
I turn my head,
And I think about those who are at home.
I can see how fast the river flows,
Like blood from my wound.
I’m lying on the wet sand,
Here, I do not find shelter.
Compressed sword in hand,
I say, «Goodbye!"those whom I love.
When I die,
Bury me in a barrow.
Put the gun nearby,
So that got me to the vaults of Valhalla.
When I die,
Bury me in a barrow.
Put the stone in order to see everything —
In runes memory of me.
