Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They bring him to the shore
His ship is ready made
He will not see them anymore
Here, he cannot stay
[Verse 2]
The brotherhood is gathered
Their faces hard as stone
They have come to take farewell
In silence, they mourn
[Verse 3]
"Our King has left our ranks
A wise and noble man
We owe him loyalty and thanks
He ruled with a steady hand
[Verse 4]
He will be missed by all
His heart has now been stilled
Tonight, he'll dine in Odin's hall
There, he'll drink his fill"
[Verse 5]
The ship glides gently on the waves
As day turns into night
One thousand burning arrows
Fill the starlit sky
[Verse 6]
Two ravens on the longship
They spread their pitch-black wings
And lift up to the burning sky
A send-off for a king!
[Verse 7]
Into flames!
The longship burst into flames!
Black smoke is rising high
To the eternal night
[Verse 8]
Into flames!
The whole world burst into flames!
Nothing will be the same
Things will forever change
[Verse 9]
The flames are raging higher
They gnaw at wood and flesh
Soon, the ship will break apart
And sink into the depth
[Verse 10]
This night, we drink in silence
And when the morning breaks
Our King has left this world to walk
Through Valhalla's gates
