On a Sea of Blood Songtext
von Amon Amarth

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
Nidhogg 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 bloodly sea
I'll face my destiny
Lost in a dreadful dream
I′ll meet my fate
Out on this bloodly 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!

Out on this bloodly sea
I'll face my destiny
Lost in a dreadful dream
I′ll meet my fate
Out on this bloodly 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
