Attack

Evening, from the North comes the cold.
Comes over the highlands:
Beat of wings, army of wraiths,
Saddled on werewolves.
 
I rode across my land, rowed out on the fjord.
Sea was calm, I praised Njörd.
In the twilight I looked up into the Pass,
Ugly was the sight I encountered.
 
Over the edge came a pitch-black army,
I turned the boat and gave all haste.
Petrified wings, a swarm of fangs
And a whail the stillness rent.
 
Shadow he cast, a frightful sight.
Age of Swords had risen and great was the loss.
So drowned my dearest wish,
All that I loved was killed.
 
Supposed to protect them but I was too late,
behold, noone was left alive.
Defiled soil that used to be clean,
All mine was raized to the ground.
 
I saw:
My child rent, bloodied and frightened.
I saw:
My livestock and family beaten.
I saw:
Innocent blood, flowing about a maiden.
I saw:
My precious family slaughtered.
 
I saw:
My child rent, bloodied and frightened.
I saw:
My livestock and family beaten.
I saw:
Innocent blood, flowing about a maiden.
I saw:
My precious family slaughtered.
 
I saw:
Death of maidens, my two daughters.
I saw:
The bloodied claws that latched onto them.
I saw:
A withered plant, what did they want?
I saw:
The fiend smirk and head away.
 
Walked around my wall,
Enormous gap,
Roughly hewn.
Hel me touched.
A winged menace,
That destroyer.
His name was mentioned,
His I shall avenge.
 
Oath is given, oath that will be kept.
Oath is given, oath that will be kept.
 
Walked around my wall,
Enormous gap,
Roughly hewn.
Hel me touched.
A winged menace,
That destroyer.
His name was mentioned,
His I shall avenge.
 
Oath is given, oath that will be kept.
Oath is given, oath that will be kept.
Oath is given, oath that will be kept.
Oath is given, oath that will be kept.
