On a Sea of Blood

Drifting alone upon the dragon ship

Eerily still, no winds that tear or whip

Silence deafens, the sea is mirror calm

Blood runs like the water from my palm

I'm standing by myself

Abiding

Just me and no one else

No hiding

Horizon crumbles under flaming skies

A shadow screams from thunderclouds up high

Níðhöggr comes in winds of burning flames

Cast down war and endless pain

It's coming, brace myself

I'm ready

It's coming, no escape

Stand steady

Out on this bloody sea

I'll face my destiny

Lost in a dreadful dream

I'll meet my fate

Out on this bloody sea

This is my prophecy

A notion of what's to be

There's no escape

The dragon sweeps down with a roar

Sky and ocean shake

It tears up waves of blood and gore

The longship nearly breaks

Passing just above my head

A stench of putrid death

Rotting flesh of thousands dead

Dwells upon its breath

I turn around, face myself

Yet it isn't I

With fear and rage I run me through

As I watch me die, watch me die

Out on this bloody sea I'll face my destiny

Lost in a dreadful dream I'll meet my fate

Out on this bloody sea this is my prophecy

A notion of what's to be, there's no escape

Get ready!

Stand steady!

It's coming, brace myself

Abiding

It's coming, certain death

No hiding
