lyrics

I'm Leaving my home to work off the shores
A traveling course of my fathers before
A merchant of myth seeking fortune and fame
the passage that ends all the same

The waves move in silence at the dead of the night
Rich men at rest with gods on their sides
A flash of cold as I open my eyes
A pirate's sails on the horizon

The winds whip, lashing the sea
the cold rain sears my gaping wounds
the last thing we knew, their eyes and our fear
I saw as a prisoner of war

Gods bestow us strength and might, I'll return with pride
May the dark replace with light, I pray to save my life

Flame on the oars of helpless men, for we raise our swords
Blood and salt avenge their dead, spilled amount unknown

Flame on the oars
Blood on the Shores
Mist-altered view
Warrior anew

With power and fury I sharpen my blade, vindictive and shorn from my time as a slave
Consumed by pride and waiting to die, at last my journey will end
The ship was a scene of a dream: the blood being shed on the wood of the beams. Corpses and coin dropped into the sea, my spirit is finally free

Gods bestow us strength and might, I'll return with pride
May the dark replace with light, I pray to save my life

Flame on the oars of helpless men, for we raise our swords
Blood and salt avenge their dead, spilled amount unknown
To the north we sail again, facing stormy seas
Fame and fortune is no life, battle sets us free.
