The 13th Warrior Songtext
von Gothic Knights

Sailing on a sea of troubles
Our backs are to the sun
The thickest fog we′ve ever seen
Fell without a sound
We're up against an ancient force
That′s never been brought down
A tired king, a desperate land
Broken, burdened, bound

Haunting into battles when we come alive
Sharpen swords and eyes
Cold as ice
The fear we face we know we may not survive
Only death can stop the fire burning in our hearts


Stepping onto foreign sand
A naked child runs our way
Bringing blood upon his hands
An ancient evil
That all men dread
We hope and pray
For the angel of death

The night has come, we lie in wait
Watching with all eyes
The silence of the midnight hour
Waiting for a sign
Shadows pass within the walls
We never would have seen
If not for the chosen prince
The man from the deep

Caught out in the rain
Side by side we fight
Letting all the hate
The fury rise
Driving hard as thunder cracks up in the sky
Only death can stop the fire burning in our hearts


Hunting down the enemy
Beyond the cliffs we find the lair
The home of the beast
Walking in so silently
They had no clue we walked among them
Dead in their sleep

Haunting into battles when we come alive
Sharpen swords and eyes
Cold as ice
The fear we face we know we may not survive
Only death can stop the fire burning in our hearts

The light of day is here again
The curse is broken
Now we set our sails to the west
As we sail back home again
We see the king sitting on his throne
A sword in his hand
