lyrics

Father oh spare my soul
Take me before old age
I'll die screaming your name
Release me from the berserker's rage!

Found each other in a snow-white field
Eyes of fire fighting for the lead.
Who will seize the moment to attack
Standing face to face one will not go back.

Prisoners of their eternal hate
One of them was born to die that day.
Holding up his handaxe to the sky
Roaring from his soul, it's his last warcry.

Last warcry!

(Chorus)
Death by steel
Hot the blood from the wound soon will flow.
Shields will crush
What remains is his Blood on the Snow.

Blood on the Snow!
Blood on the Snow!

It was the Age of axe and spear!

Crows are gathering
It's time to feast
One more warrior victim of the beast.
Honour for the one who did fight brave.
Glory follows to his burning grave.

One more Viking who was born to fight.
In Valhalla he will drink tonight.
The berserker did not meet his fate.
For his day to die he has to wait.

I see the flames rising high above.
I see to Asa Bay there's just one road.
The Valkyries ride to carry me up home.
Odhen awaits me in his golden hall.

Don't cry for me I'll find my way
-From the bards' songs my name you will know-
Just burn my ship and let it sail
-I am gone, now I'm gone
But my blood still remains on the snow-
I died by steel the skalds will say
-Bound by flame, bound by flame
From the bards' songs my name you will know-
A warrior's death I did not fail
-I am gone, now I'm gone
But my blood still remains on the snow-

All that remains as I'm rising up home
-Blood on the Snow-
My name in the stories, my blood on the snow

(Chorus)

Father I'm at your side
Your guest and adopted son
Ready to die again
Within the final flood

about

ORMEN Athens, Greece

The watchful eye of Heimdall has caught a ship setting sail on the Aegean Sea. It bears the emblem of the snake and it travels north. Skalds are on board, playing songs about legendary warriors who seek glory, fame and plunder. Hymns about the Gods of War and the end of their days.
They recite stories filled with blood, heroism and treachery.
They tell Tales of Darkness Fire and Frost... ... more
