lyrics

AFTER THE RATS HAVE FLED

Warriors in the hall
Now listen well
For what I have to say

Among the blasts of shields
In battle fell
Down on that fateful day

Ride the wolf of wealth and plunder
On in to this night of death

Swords born of steel and thunder
Fell down on your very breathe

There
To the table I invited the wolf
For I knew he was an easy bet
There
To the cellar I invited the devil
For I knew he wasn't drunk yet
There
I came for warmth and left just corpses

Bearers of the blade
Now holding fast
For this horse brings war

Amidst the rain of spears
Flanking the mast
We still reached the shore

Through the fields of corpses and woe
We rode our steeds to victory

Over the lands of ice and snow
On through to the eyes of the sea

Bringer of the white christ
Slay the pale horse
Thrust the sword in deep

Father of the dimming lights
Bless the children of the sleep

There
To the table I invited the wolf
For I knew he was an easy bet
There
To the cellar I invited the devil
For I knew he wasn't drunk yet
There
I came for warmth and left just corpses

There
The hoar frost froze deep into the hinterland of my heart

The serpents path is made of greed
We rode the shores of never spring
All dead men must burn
Ashes to the sea

The weeping cloud stands alone
The sea breaks the strings of kin
All dead men must burn
Ashes to the sea
