Ensiferum - Sword Chant Lyrics
[Grim man's tale:][I:] A flaming blade of the dark shadows struck the landswith furious lightning it fell into the hands of manAnd the ancient fire came downdown from the sky into the groundThe clouds moved aside as the sword was cast from the skyBurnt by a mark of fire, who shall make this findAnd the grey clouds were watching down, down from the sky into the ground...As the shapes of light were drowned[II:] Creatures started crowling from the ashes and smokeand the night was cursed and drifting within the winds so coldAnd the knights from the sea were marching downto the deep caverns down, down where the old spells are foundThe war was growing in the old lands and townsfrom the mountains war drums pounded with a defeaning soundThey'll seek the Sowrd forevermore, until in battle they'll fall...Now, hear the battle's callWho dares to play with deathWho smells the dragon's breathNo grief for the fallen onesThe search for the sword has begun[Carved in stone:]Great as the mountains and seasGrim as the earth and old treesMade from the glimmer of golden lakesChained with fire that never fadesRocks and stones they carve and mouldwhen the rivers run fierce and coldMay this chant haunt your pastfor this Sword is yours at lastRaise the arms the battle is nearThrough the mud and waters clearThe blood is coloring the lands againA sign of victory the wind will send
