LEAVES' EYES LYRICS

1. Sign of the Dragonhead

Break through the thunder night
When the lightning strikes
Fear the sign of the Dragonhead

We rush through foaming waves
Halvdan's firstborn, hail our king

Men of might, wolf-heathens cry!

Tempting the ocean wide
Highborn Leige Lord of Northern men

Land in sight
Berserks, sharpen knives!
(Draken, sea attack!)

Break through the thunder night
When the lightning strikes
Fear the Sign of the Dragonhead
Our ships will ride to the edge of the world
Thunder night, when the lightning strikes
Fear the Sign of the Dragonhead
The draken will ride to the end of the world

Hollow serpent reddish ribs
A dragon proud with reddened shields

Men of might, wolf-heathens cry!

Ship's keel obeys the mast
We dash the waves and gain land fast

Land in sight
Berserks sharpen knives!
(Draken, sea attack!)

Break through the thunder night
When the lightning strikes
Fear the Sign of the Dragonhead
Our ships will ride to the edge of the world
Thunder night, when the lightning strikes
Fear the Sign of the Dragonhead
The draken will ride to the end of the world

(Tarred oar blades clash the water
Sons of Odin reach the stores
Wolf-coats of the Norse noard-warder
With bloody shields)

Sign of the Dragonhead...

Break through the thunder night
When the lightning strikes
Fear the Sign of the Dragonhead
Our ships will ride to the edge of the world
Thunder night, when the lightning strikes
Fear the Sign of the Dragonhead
The draken will ride to the end of the world

Sign of the Dragonhead
The draken will ride

Break through the thunder night
When the lightning strikes
Fear the Sign of the Dragonhead
The draken will ride!!

2. Across the Sea

We stand and fight
We sail tonight across the sea
We seek for foreign lands
It's time to strike
We sail tonight across the sea
We reach for ancient lands!

Come, come forth
Come forth into winds strong
All men ride up, set our sails high!

An epic journey
Our ships across the sea
All crew stand up, fly the banners high!

To ancient lands, where legends dwell
Whelming breeze, the east winds swell

We stand and fight
We sail tonight across the sea
We seek for foreign lands
It's time to strike
We sail tonight across the sea
We reach for ancient lands!

Look, look forth
The Isles of Cats ahead
Norsemen stand up, set our sails high!

For victory
Our ships across the sea
A glorious quest, fly the banners high!

To ancient lands, where legends dwell
Whelming breeze, the east winds swell

We stand and fight
We sail tonight across the sea
We seek for foreign lands
It's time to strike
We sail tonight across the sea
We reach for ancient lands!

Strength on strength, restless souls
Defy death, from coast to coast...
From coast to coast

We stand and fight
We sail tonight across the sea
We seek for foreign lands
It's time to strike
We sail tonight across the sea
We reach for ancient lands!

We stand and fight
We sail tonight across the sea

It's time to strike
We sail tonight across the sea
We reach for ancient lands!

We sail tonight across the sea
We seek for foreign lands
It's time to strike
We sail tonight across the sea
We reach for ancient lands!

Strength on strength, restless souls
Defy death, from coast to coast...
From coast to coast

3. Like a Mountain

Can I reach you?
Far away again
Beyond the bridge,
Behind the river
High and far,
Like a mountain

I look up high before I fall
Fall asleep
I feel it like a mountain
Four marriages were foretold
In four dreams
I feel it like a mountain
Blow of fate cut into
Into the sky
Love of mine drowned at sea

Where I see you
Fearing you
I miss the stars high up
In the darkened sky

Can I reach you?
Far away again
Beyond the bridge,
Behind the river
High and far,
Like a mountain

I was worst to whom I loved
Loved the most
I feel it like a mountain
Shades of green turn into
Into grey
Your face rise from the deep!

Where I see you
Fearing you
I miss the stars high up
In the darkened sky

Can I reach you?
Far away again
Beyond the bridge,
Behind the river
High and far,
Like a mountain

Shimmering light
Ragged clouds
Glow in the night

Helgafell
Some of mine
I'll stay forever

Can I reach you?
Far away again
Beyond the bridge,
Behind the river
High and far, far

Can I reach you? Can I reach you?
Far away again again
Beyond the bridge,
Behind the river
High and far,
Like a mountain

5. Völva

The sun will turn into black
Völva dancing
Land sinks into the sea
I have seen it
Stars once shining bright
Vanished from the sky
At the life-giving ash
Fire rages forth

High flames at heaven

I see beyond time
Enter the other side (Völva)
Beyond the aeons (Völva)
The end of all time

High flames at heaven
Beyond the aeons

There is a storm age to come
Völva speaking
A wolf age ere mankind's doom
I foresee it
Brother's battle call
Sons of sisters fall
Await the age of swords
Fire rages on

High flames at heaven

I see beyond time
Enter the other side (Völva)
Beyond the aeons (Völva)
The end of all time

High flames at heaven
Beyond the aeons

(Hear the howls of hell hound
Hear the echoes loudly)
See the future through my eyes
Lore, I know in plenty
(As the fetters start to burst
And the wolf is running free)
Foreseen is the mighty doom
Of triumphant gods

I see beyond time
Enter the other side (Völva)
Beyond the aeons (Völva)
The end of all time

(High flames at heaven
Beyond the aeons)
Beyond the aeons
The end of all time (Völva)

See beyond time
Enter the other side
High flames at heaven
Beyond the aeons

6. Riders on the Wind

Call of the sea
We hail to our gods
Men of North
We're leaving from the shores

No storm is too wild
No ocean too deep
We are the riders
Riders on the wind

Land of fjords
The home of our hearts
Came and pride
Raid and plunder overseas

No land is too far
No wall is too big
We are the riders
Riders on the wind

Riders on the wind
Riders on the wind
Riders on the wind
Riders on the wind
Riders on the wind
Riders on the wind

Call to arms
We fear no enemies
Valhalla
Our fallen heroes feast

No storm is too wild
No ocean too deep
We are the riders
Riders on the wind

Axe and sword
Our weapons shining bright
Spears and shield
Pagans come for you tonight

No coast is too far
No wave is too big
We are the riders
Riders on the wind

Riders on the wind
Riders on the wind
Riders on the wind
Riders on the wind
Riders on the wind
Riders on the wind

Three Norns behold us
The weavers of fate
Sisters of Nafri
The father of the night
Riders on the wind

Three Norns behold us
The weavers of fate
Sisters of Nafri
The father of the night
Riders on the wind

Call of the sea
We hail to our gods
Men of North
We're leaving from the shores

The home of our hearts
Came and pride
Raid and plunder overseas

Riders on the wind

7. Fairer than the Sun

She sees a second time
Earth from sea shall rise
She sees water cascades
The eagle in the sky

Where the gods will meet, meet again
On the ever green plain
The Earth reborn another time
See them, mountain sides

Unsown fields will grow up
All sorrow will be lifted
Gods in the ruins
Of the Nailer's wall

She sees a wall standing fairer than the sun
Bedecked with gold leeward of the fire

She sees divine brothers return
Would you know more?
She sees the soothsaying wood
Would you know more?

Two sons of two brothers
Will dwell in the wide, wide winds domain
From dark mountains below
Soars the dim dragon again

Unsown fields will grow up
All sorrow will be lifted
Gods in the ruins
Of the Nailer's wall

She sees a wall standing fairer than the sun
Bedecked with gold leeward of the fire
Hall fairer than the sun
Bedecked with gold leeward of the fire

Would you know more?
Would you know more... or not?

She sees a wall standing fairer than the sun
Bedecked with gold leeward of the fire
Hall fairer than the sun
Bedecked with gold leeward of the fire

8. Shadows in the Night

Tale dreadful
A murdered father and a king
Deep snake pit
Aella decided Ragnar's fate
In the epoch of insanity
In the times of agony
Lo! Raise your swords and hail the army of pagans
Realms fall, realms fall to dust

Forever and ever
I see you in the misty light
Shadows in the night
Forever and ever
Your legend will stay alive
Shadows in the night
Night!
Shadows in the night

Mysterious
A fearsome warlord at the shores
Ivar, The Boneless
And his brothers call for war (call for war)
In the epoch of cruelty
In the times of dishonesty
No mercy or defeat
Great army of heathens
Realms fall, realms fall to dust

Forever and ever
I see you in the misty light
Shadows in the night
Forever and ever
Your legend will stay alive
Shadows in the night
Night!
Shadows in the night!

(Dark is the call of Gods
Blood is the price they want
Blessed are the warriors)
Avenge the fallen king

(Swords of the northern men
Carve of the blood eagle
Blessed are the warriors)
Vengeance of the brave

Forever and ever
I see you in the misty light
Shadows in the night

Forever and ever
I see you in the misty light
Shadows in the night
Forever and ever
Your legend will stay alive
Shadows in the night
...in the night!

9. Rulers of Wind and Waves

[Instrumental]

10. Fires in the North

Once more sail set up high
We are heading for another time

Strong mast
White-flashing ice
Hard the winds blow into our eyes

We're coming
Seeking
Conquering everywhere

Against the gale
We sail
(And if the world goes down)
Side by side
We stand
(We stand as one)

Icy winds
Call of the wild sea
Towards far unknown shores
Hearts burning
Feel our flame eternal
The fires in the North

Now our time has come to rise up high!
Fires in the North
We are riders on the storm!

Wave on wave
We make our way
Breaking through night and day
North star our guide
Led by the Gods hails our pride

Against the gale
We sail
(And if the world goes down)
Side by side
We stand
(We stand as one)

Icy winds
Call of the wild sea
Towards far unknown shores
Hearts burning
Feel our flame eternal
The fires in the North

Now our time has come to rise up high!

Thunder roars
As the sea is raging
Lightning strikes
Black waves are crushing
Dragonheads
Face a hail of arrows
Bursting wood
Flaming steel in shadows

Fires in the North
We are riders on the storm
Fire in the North
We are riders on the storm

(Fire!)
Now our time has come to rise up high

Icy wind (make our way)
Fires in the North (breaking through night and day
Our flame (make our way)
Fires in the North (the Fires in the North)

Icy winds
Call of the wild sea
Towards far unknown shores
Hearts burning
Feel our flame eternal
The fires in the North

Icy winds
Call of the wild sea
Towards far unknown shores
Hearts burning
Feel our flame eternal
The fires in the North

11. Waves of Euphoria

See my face in the wind and snow
Ice cold waters, breezes below
See my face in the wind and snow
Ice cold waters, breezes blow

Like a wild, wild dream
Is the story of a king
In the waves of euphoria

(Eastwards to the foreign land
We march together man by man
King of Norway years of fate
Legend of the Varangian Guard)

See my face in the wind and snow
Ice cold waters, breezes blow
(Banned out of the Father's land
In exile, he'll regain his fame)
See my face in the wind and snow
Ice cold waters, breezes blow

Like a wild, wild dream
With no more fears
In the waves of euphoria
Like a wild, wild dream
With blood and tears
In the waves of euphoria

(Westwards to the Isles of Cats
Proud ormen with gilden head
Landing at the river tees
Gaining fame and victory)

See my face in the wind and snow
Ice cold waters, breezes blow

Like a wild, wild dream
With no more fears
In the waves of euphoria
Like a wild, wild dream
With blood and tears
In the waves of euphoria

In the waves of euphoria
Waves of euphoria

Claim crown and the throne by war
No more fears
In waves of euphoria
With blood and tears

Claim crown and the throne by war
No more fears
In waves of euphoria
With blood and tears

Fly like an eagle
Into crimson sky
Twilight of the old gods
Hear the battle cry

(Rivals for the English throne
Rising on the battlefield
Times of glory and defeat
Brother's battle at Stamford's Bridge)

See my face in the wind and snow
Ice cold waters, breezes blow

Like a wild, wild dream
With no more fears
In the waves of euphoria
Like a wild, wild dream
With blood and tears
In the waves of euphoria

In the waves of euphoria
Waves of euphoria
(Glory and defeat)
Waves of euphoria
