Nivaira - Starkad lyrics

rate me

In the silence of years<br />

We all are spent<br />

But who will dare to forget! <br />

The time when heroes were fighting<br />

For faith and glory, <br />

Honor and pride of the dead.<br />

<br />

I was cruel and noble<br />

Like a northern wolf<br />

I laughed at the face of death<br />

When I spoke my words turned<br />

To wizard poems<br />

No one looked at me as I left.<br />

<br />

What a great life it was<br />

When I went for distant shores<br />

The One Eyed God took all those<br />

Who were slain in the war! <br />

<br />

I knew no fear, no pain<br />

And no despair, <br />

And the victories always were mine.<br />

And my treasures and gold<br />

Were bright and fair<br />

And my steel sword was true and fine.<br />

<br />

After all the days I lived<br />

I'm standing on my knees<br />

All the beautiful verses I said<br />

Faded like dead leaves.<br />

<br />

My glorious victories<br />

Are paid with unhealing wounds<br />

And so heavy lies on my shoulders<br />

The blood of the beloved ones.<br />

<br />

My third life came to the end<br />

I'm old, my eyes can't see<br />

God of the fallen, remember your word<br />

Send your ravens to me.
