HEATHEN FORAY LYRICS

1. Call To Arms

The gods of elements heed our call upon the very day
Northern winds caressed our sails and sent us on our way
Descending to your sacred shores beneath a crimson sky
Bearing gifts of conflict and war under banners flying high
Hail!
Hail!
Hail! Hail! Hail!

Under the stars and under the sun
Brothers and sisters unite as one
Till the battle is fought and won
This is the call to arms

This is the call – Heed the call!
This is the call – Heed the call!
This is the call – Heed the call!
This is the call to arms!

The pounding hooves of cavalry shake the very earth
Majestic knights with sword and shield sworn to break the curse
Breaking the curse of those tyrants, we shall hear their cries
Impaled upon our avenging spears we laugh as they die
Hail!
Hail!
Hail! Hail! Hail!

Under the stars and under the sun
Brothers and sisters unite as one
Till the battle is fought and won
This is the call to arms

This is the call – Heed the call!
This is the call – Heed the call!
This is the call – Heed the call!
This is the call to arms!

2. A Summer's Tale

Went for a walk on summers day
Never had a clue what would come my way
Into the forest I did stray
Only companion was a flag of ale

Wandering in to the forest deep
Weary that I was I collapsed in heap
Closing my eyes did I go to sleep
Suddenly I froze with a sense of disbelief

Who was that the standing there
Before me a lady with auburn hair
Blinded by the mid-sun glare
All I could do was gaze and stare

A SUMMER'S TALE?

Beckoning me with a twinkling eye
I rose to my feet I was hypnotized
To this very day I don't know why
Simply addicted by her enchanting smile

I was lead down a path to this magic place
Her beauty was divine but I can’t recall her face
She flavoured well my primal tastes
All day long till the sunlight fades

Sapped my strength till I couldn’t go on
Never believed I could last so long
A kiss, a goodbye and then she was gone
Bewildered, I reflected had I done wrong?

A SUMMER'S TALE!

I returned to the forest everyday
Never told a soul about what came my way
The strangest thing of this summers tale
Was it reality, or was it the ale?

3. Path Of The Warrior

The warrior’s path, for you to decide
A warrior’s path, a sword by your side
A warrior’s path, your fate in your hands
A warrior’s path, to distant lands

The warrior’s path, a hunger for war
A warrior’s path, a tavern, a whore
A warrior’s path, life under the skies
A warrior’s path, who knows when you’ll die

The warrior's path, a maiden to save
A warrior’s path, a one man crusade
A warrior’s path, no guilt and no shame
A warrior’s path, ignoring the pain

The Path of the warrior, nomadic the life
Path of the warrior, the law of the knife
Path of the warrior, and warrior’s deeds
Path of the warrior, to Valhalla it leads

4. Unearther

We have been waiting, for so very long
During that time, their army's grown strong
Even with you, by our side
Thoughts of defeat I cannot deny

When you ran away, on that terrible day
Many did say, coward running away from them
You should have stayed, OUR PEOPLE THEY PRAYED!
Now as Unearther for them, you must repay!

You knew at that time, we just could not win
Though brave our forces, were stretched way too thin
To win a war, battles are sometimes lost
You gave up yourself to lessen the cost
A pact with the gods, you traded your soul
And your mortal life, they demanded for toll
They granted you, to be more than a man
Now unearther unveil your plan

You never ran away, on that strangest of days
You never failed, and now its time to prevail for them
Sharpen your blade, OUR PEOPLE STILL PRAY
Now as Unearther for them, you must repay!

Show them the Way!
Sharpen The Blade!
UNEARTHER
Free them this day!
Free us this day!

5. Foretelling The Raven Age

Foretelling the Raven Age
Rids my heart of the rage
Cleanse the lands of Christian ways
Born again the Heathen days

For countless moons they pound below
Hammer of Gods ascend then fall
Bringing storm, frost, ice and snow
A sign for us to prepare for war

And then the sun will cease to shine
Blackness perpetual, ignites the sky
All man-made religion dies
Upon the hill the Raven Cries

After the war the north winds blow
The blankets of ice begins to thaw
Those that survived now all know
What is a God, the one true force

6. Into Foray

[Music : S. Lawler, lyrics G. Beasley]

Onward we march to war
Family and friends we are fighting for
To face indestructible foes
Give me the strength to wield my sword

We fight together side by side
Into the foray nowhere to hide
Over the enemy lines we ride
The air is filled with deathly cries

Weary we still advance
Behind cold armour, shield and lance
Amongst the dying and amongst the dead
The battlefield runs a bloody red

We broke their pride, showed them the way
Triumphant chants, this glorious day
Tomorrow the sun still shines
And claim this victory as mine!

7. Heathen Battlecry

26th November 2006 you did heed the call to arms
And you formed a pagan army to change these tragic times
To battle drums we marched together destination unclear
But the fire raging within our hearts subsided all our fears

Off we go,
We don’t know
Still we are sure
We ready our weapons for war ...

THE BATTLEFIELD - Beckons us all once again
THOSE INFIDELS - will die in bloody flames
OUR FORCE - will conquer all that stand before us
When we unleash our HEATHEN BATTLECRY!

Music to my ears the infidels scream like a banshees bloody wail
This does indeed inspire us all to ensure our cause won’t fail
Each and everyone one us here would rather fall then taste defeat
So together our circle won't break within the battle heat

On our way
To the fray
We’ll seize the day
And enter the Heathen Foray ...

THE BATTLEFIELD - Beckons us all once again
THOSE INFIDELS - will die in bloody flames
OUR FORCE - will conquer all that stand before us
When we unleash our HEATHEN BATTLECRY!

BATLECRIES - Echo in the mountainside
THOSE INFIDELS - now slaves in living hell
HEATHEN FORCE – as testament for those who fell beside us
Honour their deeds with a HEATHEN BATTLECRY!
