Before God – Hammer Of The North lyrics

HAMMER OF THE NORTH

MEN OF IRON, FORGED IN STRUGGLE
WROUGHT FROM TIME, HARDSHIPS AND BATTLES
DRIVEN BY HUNGER AND THE WILL WITHIN
AND THE LOVE FOR THEIR CREED AND KIN

ADVENTURE CALLS, IRS ALMOST TIME
SPIRITS KEPT,WITH DANCE AND WINE
BUT FOR NOW, RAISE YOUR CHALICE
FOR ITS TIME TO FEAST

THOU ART KINGS BY YOUR OWN WILL
ENTHRONED BY YOUR OWN HANDS
NOT BY RIGHT BUT BIRTH BY MIGHT
TO RULE THESE NORESCAPED LANDS

SAILS HIGH, TO CATCH WIND
ONWARD NOW, THESE MIGHTY MEN
BEYONE HORIZONS, IN SEARCH OF GLORY
THIS IS THEIR DESTINY

THE SKY IS BLACK, THE SEA IS COLD
FAR FROM HOME BUT THEIR STILL BOLD
FROM DISTANT LANDS, TO LANDS OF LOVE
THEY'RE SAILING OFF TO WAR

THOU ART KINGS BY YOUR OWN WILL
ENTHRONED BY YOUR OWN HANDS
NOT BY RIGHT BUT BIRTH BY MIGHT
TO RULE THESE NORESCAPED LANDS

THROUGH NIGHT AND DAY, CROSS OCEANS VAST
THROUGH ICY WATERS, THEY CARVE THEIR PATH
GLORIOUS BATTLES, BUT LIE AHEAD
BE VICTOR OR JOIN THE DEAD

BY ODINS WILL AND WITH SWORD IN HAND
THEY HAVE THE STRENGTH TO PURGE THIS LAND
BANNERS HIGH AT THE GATES OF WAR
HAMMER OF THE NORTH

LIGHTNING STRIKE, THE SOUND OF WAR
BODIES FALL IN KILLING SCORE
BLOOD IS SPILLED, STEEL REIGNS
ANCESTOR STRENGTH COURSES THROUGH YOUR VEINS

SONS OF ODIN, SONS OF THE NORTH
THEY FEAR THE FURY THAT YOU'VE BROUGHT FORTH
THEY ARE WEAK, WITH DYING BREATH
YOUR ENEMIES SHALL MEET THEIR DEATH
