Lyrics for The Gathering

As I sense their steel As I see the mighty one As we all gather once again The gods of war summon us Summon us North wind blows to our valley Men with ships, with swords, with honour Their horses between flames Their dogs eating enemy childs Our heavenly father, what is this mortality Do you see my mortal agony Look, I see the shield up high This must be the sign from my lord This can be my death-sentence What a fine day to die Taste of blood comes up high Wind blows hard, our men fall One by one This oath claims me I must bleed for my generation Strong is the enemy Strong is my sword The hammer is rising I feel their cold steel Look, I see the shield up high This must be the sign from my lord This can be my death-sentence What a fine day to die Now when I leave this world I shall open the mighty oaken gate And we all shall gather Shall gather once again
