Lyrics Dead Knight's Rite - Einherjer

Dead Knight's Rite

As thunder borne upon the wind
Was heard the battle’s wild uproar
See the angels of the dead
Seek blood dripping crimson red
Amidst the heaps of foemen slain
Drenched with battle’s bloody rain
On the plate-mail rattled loud
The arrow-shower's rushing cloud
Spear-torrents swept away
Ranks of foes from light of day
In the dark the spears were whet
Grimly pointed metal shone
Dread the weapons of the knights
Battered shield and blood-smeared swords
Ravens, rain-soaked lurked the feast
Nesting redly the deceased
Grim the jaws that shook their shields
Red the fangs that bit the bones
Spear-torrents swept away
Ranks of foes from light of day
