Across the Rainbow Bridge Songtext
von Amon Amarth

My days are numbered, soon I have to leave
The Norns have stretched my living thread
The notion of my demise won′t leave me be
Why cannot death just set me free?
I've lived a life or prosperity
But I′m not as young as I used to be
Down the road waits misery
Why cannot death just set me free?
Set me free


Countless armies have I attacked
Not once have I backed down
And though I've spilled a lot of blood
I never once received a mortal wound
I've raided shores in many lands
I cannot count the men I′ve killed
So many friends died with sword in hand
But the warrior′s death was never granted me

I dress myself in battle clothes
Alone I make the final ride
My sight is blurred by whipping snow
I seek to end my life
I want to walk across the rainbow bridge
And see my fathers in the golden hall
They beckon me to join their feast
In my dreams I hear their call
