Lyrics God of Vengeance - Ignitor

God of Vengeance

The raiders struck, a hammer of their god,
To sweep through our town, leave it all aflame
I watched my father’s blood run down to the sea
And planned my revenge
As I get upon my knees
Raise my sword to hall on high
I look upon the velvet stars
And know the gods say I will die
I will pledge myself to thee
Oh, Odin one-eye, high above.
Grant me wisdom and the strength
To fight for the things that I love
For the gods
And a life of the olden ways
Odin’s might
Odin’s sword
Aesir fight
Be by my side
One-eyed god
Hall on high
Welcome me I fight to die
Odin’s might
Odin’s sword
Aesir fight
Be by my side
Bloodied helm
Broken shield
Riding free
Valkyrie, take me While the ice cracks and groans in pain
I look to the South and think about the day
When I will rally my crew, we will take to the waters
And blow the horns of war
When the fjords are running cold
The drakkars come around the bend
Dragonheads taste of the wind
Swords are sharpened to defend
I’ll be standing on the prow
Bringing vengeance with the waves
Ravens feast upon the blood
While we lay you in your graves
You will pay
For the lives you took on that day
Odin’s might
Odin’s sword
Aesir fight
Be by my side
One-eyed god
Hall on high
Welcome me I fight to die
Odin’s might
Odin’s sword
Aesir fight
Be by my side
Bloodied helm
Broken shield
Riding free
Valkyrie, take me As vengeance burns deep in my eyes
In the glory of war,
A sword did strike me down
So cold on this strand, I wait for the maiden of war
To take me home
As I fall upon my knees
Turn my gaze to hall on high
Even though my sight is dim
I see Valhalla, warm and wide
Passing through these golden doors
My father reaches out his hand
To lead me to the afterlife
I earned defending my own land
«Come my son
You are brave;
I am well avenged!»
