AMON AMARTH LYRICS

1. Get In The Ring


You smile at me through lying teeth
Then you talk behind my back
You think I'm blind, that I don't see
The mask you wear begins to crack

Your words bore me to death
You're a wasp without a sting
When you're done wasting breath
You can find me in the ring

Bring it on
If you dare
Will you run
Are you scared

I'm waiting here so come at me
Let's fight it out man to man
If you flee your fate is sealed
Get in the ring, make your stand

The coward thinks he'll always live
If he keeps himself from strife
But old age leaves him not in peace
Though the spears may spare his life

The fool thinks that he knows it all
While he sits in sheltered nest
Lost for words when reality calls
As he's put to the test

Your slander shows your inner fear
Hiding behind words of spite
But the Heathen law is clear
I challenge you to a fight

Choose blade, sword or axe
It doesn't matter what you bring
When the sun begins to wax
Come find me in the ring

Bring it on
Nowhere to hide
Time to face
Your demise

I'm waiting here so come at me
Let's fight it out man to man
If you flee your fate is sealed
You'll die by my hand

You're a dog without a bite
And your taunts are uninspired
It's better that you stand and fight
'Cause if you run you'll only die tired


2. The Great Heathen Army


In eight hundred sixty-five
The year of our Lord
They have arrived to take our lives
These vicious demons of the north

So kneel, repent your sins
You know there's nowhere you can run
But we all know it deep within
Salvation will never come

As they landed on our shores
Ten thousand warriors from the north
They killed our king and marched on York

One by one our lands will fall
The Great Heathen Army
We all fear the battle call
Of the Great Heathen Army
God has forsaken us
Our faith and belief is crushed
The Great Heathen Army

Charge!

Two hundred ships set sail
A massive Viking fleet
This quest will never fail
Our army doesn't know defeat

So make your final stand
Father, brother, son
Your death is soon at hand
You will be overrun

We've traveled far to claim our right
With vengeance for our father's death we fight
We'll put your king's head on a spike

One by one your lands will fall
The Great Heathen Army
Hear our mighty battle call
The Great Heathen Army
Nothing now will hold us back
So be prepared come the attack
The Great Heathen Army

Hail to the Great Heathen Army
Bow to the Great Heathen Army
Hail to the Great Heathen Army
Bow to the Great Heathen Army
Hail! Hail! The Great Heathen Army
Hail! Hail! The Great Heathen Army


3. Heidrun


Here's to a life of roaming around
Where there's a feast we can be found
Travelling far, over sea, over land
For glory and fame and a drink in our hand

There's no dread in our hearts, no remorse in our soul
Pillage the world for silver and gold
It's the path we have chosen, the creed of our kind
Standing together, leave no one behind

Hail the dead and the goat that gives us mead
On the roof she's gnawing Lärad's leaves
Fills the vat with a drink that is so sweet
Worthy of fame
Heidrun is her name

This life it is not for everyone
The grind of travel can wear you down
Our grave may be waiting around the bend
But we'll keep fighting to whatever end

And when we are done roaming around
There is a feast where we will be found
To Valhalla! With hearts full of pride
A drink in our hand and a girl on our side

Hail the dead and the goat that gives us mead
On the roof she's gnawing Lärad's leaves
Fills the vat to the brim with a drink so sweet
Worthy of fame
Heidrun is her name

Hail the dead and the goat that gives us mead
On the roof top gnawing Lärad's leaves
Fills the vat with a drink that's oh so sweet
One and the same
Heidrun is her name

Over the ocean and over land
After all the tours
We have earned our seats in Oden's glorious hall
Here we sit at the feast
A cold drink in our horns
Heidrun's the one that gives the mead to the battle worn

She stands on Valhalla's roof
Filling the vat with the sweetest mead
She is one and the same
Heidrun is her name

Who's the goat? Who's the goat?
Heidrun, Heidrun
Who's the goat? Who's the goat?
Heidrun, Heidrun
Who's the goat? Who's the goat?
Heidrun, Heidrun
Who's the goat? Who's the goat?
Heidrun, Heidrun

Hail the dead and the goat that gives us mead
On the roof she's gnawing Lärad's leaves
Fills the vat with a drink that is so sweet
One and the same
Heidrun is her name

Hail the dead and the goat that gives us mead
On the roof top gnawing Lärad's leaves
Fills the vat to the brim with a drink so sweet
Worthy of fame
Heidrun is her name

Heidrun, Heidrun
Heidrun, Heidrun


4. Oden Owns You All


On the brink of all-out war
Hear rattling weapons roar
Howling for blood and gore
A slaughter never seen before

Armies gathered on this plain
Before arrows start to rain
Bitter feud, a hate campaign
Words of truce spoken in vain

Hail the brave! Hail the strong!
Never shall you bend, and you shall never yield
Let the steel sing its song
Echoing across this glory battlefield

As my spear flies above your heads
Hear my battle call
Soon your ranks will join the dead
Oden owns you all!

Now these men a world apart
All with hate, wrath at heart
Making war their deadly art
Let the mayhem start

Hail the strong! Hail the brave!
Never shall you bend. Relentless 'til the end!
Glory waits beyond the grave
Over foe and friend, darkness will descend!

As my spear flies above your head
All enemies shall fall
Once your ranks have joined the dead
Oden owns you all!

Hearts on fire, blood and steel
You will die or you will kneel
Death will follow, you can't hide
Oden owns you, join his side

As my spear flies above your heads
Hear my battle call
Soon your ranks will join the dead
Oden owns you all!

Over fields, over mountains, the conflict will carry on
But after eons of warfare, who can tell who has won?

On the brink of all-out war
Hear rattling weapons roar
Howling for blood and gore
A slaughter never seen before


5. Find A Way Or Make One


All alone on these fields of war
I stand against a mighty foe
I can't go back, push on, I've come this far
I'll win this fight, of that I'm sure

Stand tall (Stand tall)
And fight (And fight)
The world will quake
Stand tall (Stand tall)
And fight (And fight)
I will never break

When it seems, hope is lost
Fight them at all cost
When it seems, all hope is gone
I will find a
I will find a way

I brace myself against the coming storm
Lift my head and stand my ground
I hear it soar, out loud, my battle roar
I'll never let myself be bound

Stand tall (Stand tall)
And fight (And fight)
The ground will shake
Stand tall (Stand tall)
And fight (And fight)
I will never break

When it seems, hope is lost
Fight them at all cost
When it seems, all hope is gone
I will find a
I will find a way

No matter what the odds I will never kneel
I trust in ancient Gods and my heart of steel
So, send your best with wrath, you cannot block my path
Though your arrows block the sun, I'll find a way or make one!

Stand tall (Stand tall)
And fight (And fight)
The world will quake
Stand tall (Stand tall)
And fight (And fight)
I will never break

When it seems, hope is lost
Fight them at all cost
When it seems, all hope is gone
I will find a
I will find a

When it seems, hope is lost
Fight them all at any cost
When it seems, hope is gone
I'll find a way, or I will make one


6. Dawn Of Norsemen


We've heard rumors of land to the West
Beyond the oceans, where the sun sets
Sailing across the waves, we will fly
This voyage of discovery, no one has tried

Loading the ships our journey begins
Guided by stars, driven by wind
At the end of the quest there is treasure to seek
A land ripe for brave men to conquer and reap

Under the sky
We are the braves, ruling the waves
No one can sway, no one can break
Under the sky
There is no one, under the sun
Who can withstand our force

On the horizon new land appears
And we prepare for our imminent raid
Now that we're near, we sense your fear
Ringing the bell, none will come to your aid

In God you trust, but you fear that he
Has forsaken your land, and taken his hand
From you and your kin in your dire need
There's no defense, no fortresses manned

Here were dreadful warnings over Northumbria
Woefully terrified were the people
Amazing sheets of lightning and whirlwinds
Fiery dragons in the sky
A great famine soon followed these omens
Then came inroads of fearsome Heathen men
Destroying the church of God on Lindesfarne Island
By fierce plunder and atrocious slaughter

Under the sky
We are the braves, ruling the waves
No one can sway, no one can break
Under the sky
There is no one, under the sun
Who can withstand our force

Under the sky
We are the braves, we rule the waves
No one can sway, no one can break
Under the sky
There is no one, under the sun
Who can withstand our force


7. Saxons And Vikings


[feat. Saxon]

Marching south, we're Wessex bound
We shall take King Alfred's crown
It doesn't matter if he stands or flees
We will bring him to his knees

We've laid waste to Mercia
We have conquered York
We ravaged all these lands
Without an ounce of remorse

Another day, another fight
We are here to win it all
There is no truce in sight
'Tween Saxons and Vikings
We carry on, we will not cease
Relentless 'til your fall
And there is no hope for peace
'Tween Saxons and Vikings

We Saxons stand in Alfred's name
We'll make you bleed, our land regained
Our battle cry is England free and one
You have taken Saxon blood
You'll pay the price in pain
We raise our flags with pride and steel
This is the end of Danelaw

Send you back from whence you came
You'll never conquer Wessex land
Make your threats we're not afraid
You'll taste our English steel

Another day another fight
We're here to win it all
But there is no truce in sight
'Tween Saxons and Vikings
We carry on, we will not yield
God is on our side
There is no hope for peace
'Tween Saxons and Vikings

We'll have your heads
You pagan scum
You'll soon be dead
We'll smash thy skulls
The wolves will tear your flesh
Your skin will soon be threshed
You sons of whores
Satan's spawn
Come get some more
You spineless dogs
The rooks will take your eyes
We're all about to die

Miscreants
Veslingur
You godless ones
Nithingur
We'll drench this field in blood
We'll send you to your god
Bitches' brood
Arka
We'll run you through
Bakrauf
We'll break your legs like twigs
And gut you all like pigs

We can't live side by side
There's no truce in sight
Bloodlust fills our savaged hearts
Who will live or die!

Blood will soak this battlefield
Who will live and who will die
There is no hope

Another day, another fight
The battle rages on
There is no truce in sight
'Tween Saxons and Vikings
At Eddington the battle stands
That will determine all
Who will rule this English land
Saxons or Vikings

Saxons or Vikings


8. Skagul Rides With Me


Countless times I've gone to war
"War" is the kenning I have earned
My name is known in legend and lore
Never once my luck has turned

To distant foreign shores I have sailed
Winning fame and gold
Where lesser men before have failed
I have conquered all

Always fought the odds
I have turned the tides
Favoured by the Gods
Fortune's on my side
In battle or in fray
Through storms of steel
I've never backed away
Skagul rides with me

Forever in my blood
To travel far and wide
I'm favoured by the Gods
Fortune's on my side
No matter what the odds say
I'm sure of victory
I'll never back away
Skagul rides with me

The autumn storms crash in on shore
And leaves fall to the ground
I will ride the waves once more
To this hearth, I won't be bound

To distant foreign shores I will sail
And fight for fame and gold
Where lesser men before have failed
I will conquer all

Always fought the odds
I have turned the tides
Favoured by the Gods
Fortune's on my side
In battle or in fray
Through storms of steel
I've never backed away
Skagul rides with me

Forever in my blood
To travel far and wide
I'm favoured by the Gods
Fortune's on my side
No matter what the odds say
I'm sure of victory
I'll never back away
Skagul rides with me


9. The Serpent's Trail


There's a crack in reality
Inside there is a hidden veil
I sense my fate waits for me
As I descend the serpent's trail

The winding path downwards leads me
Through twisted trees and stinking bogs
I dare not stop to look around me
I'll lose myself in thickening fog

Into darkness, I am drifting
I am losing my direction

Someone told me, keep your feet
If you are to walk this way
A fearless heart with a steady beat
Or else you may be led astray
What you look for, what you seek
Is at the end of this trail
You must walk with a steady beat
Or else you may be led astray
You will drift away

I see shapes of men among the trees
Stuck in a place of frozen glow
They're turned to stone by what they've seen
A pain and fear they can't let go

I spiral down towards the earth's core
Where all my terrors seem to dwell
Where many who have come before
Stumbled, crumbled and they fell

Into darkness, I am drifting
I am losing my direction

Someone told me, keep your feet
If you are to walk this way
A fearless heart with a steady beat
Or else you may be led astray
No return, no retreat
But you will surely find your way
Keep your heart at a steady beat
And you will live to fight another day

And there it is, the river Gjoll
Flowing cold with tears of grief
One cannot swim the river Gjoll
One has to cross the golden bridge

I reach the depths of Nifelhel
Alone, naked, and weak
Then appears the Goddess Hel
Who the dead and wretched keeps

But as I face my deepest fears
I open up my heart
And so a different path appears
My ascension starts
