Gothic Knights - The 13th Warrior lyrics

rate me

Sailing on a sea of trouble, 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 and burden bound

Forwarding into battle is when we come alive

Sharpened 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 east

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 beasts

Walking in so silently

They had no clue we walked among them dead in their sleep

The light of day is here again

The curse is lifted, now we set our sails to the west

As we sail back home again

We see the king sitting on his throne with sword in his hand
