The Lost Saga-Stratovarius

I sail away from my homeland My mission's to raid and plunder I fight, I will rage, I will sunder I hail the Thunder God I look at the sky Watch the waves turning into foam I send my prayers against the wind And I hope they'll reach my home I spent weeks on the ocean My heart filled with devotion At last in the mist there's a shoreline A sight that is so divine As I set my feet on foreign soil I feel so anxious my blood begins to boil I leave my ship and walk across the shore The journey goes on, I search and I explore Now I prepare for war As the day goes by I must fight or die When the crows fly low It's my time to go I won't fall today I see the arrows are flying I will be the last man standing I hear desperate cries of the dying Lives lost for the land, the king See the enemy flee Still I'm holding my bloodstained sword My brother's laying by my side They have lived, they have died for victory A whisper's heard in the air "Don't hang your head in despair" I make offers to keep gods satisfied I honour the friends who fought for them and died We'll meet on the other side for one more time As the day went by I was standing still All the crows flew high Above the blood I'd spilled I felt my guilt I will raise my horn And I'll drink the ale For the dead I mourn For the gods I hail It's been a long day It's time to go home I hope someone's waiting for me there I'll bring home fortune and fame and pain Now I'm on my way Through stormy waters I will sail And I hope they'll know my name They'll know my face Long have been these years away I know they've brought you into tears And I pray I'm there one day I'm back to stay I won't have to fight I feel my heart beat I can sleep at night My life is complete And I know I'm home again I will raise my horn And I'll drink the ale For the dead I mourn For the gods I hail So I have done I will raise my horn And I'll drink the ale For the dead I mourn For the gods I hail So I have done I did raise my horn And I drank the ale For the dead I mourned For the gods I hailed And my day went by Time to say goodbye Now the crows fly low It's my time to go My name lives on I am going home
