Hugin's Eyes - Lyrics - Einherjer

Einherjer is a Viking metal band from Haugesund, Norway, founded in 1993. Some of the band's albums are heavily folk influenced, while others have a more traditional black metal sound. Their lyrics retell Norse legends, and each of their albums has its own theme. The band split up in early 2004 after releasing the album Blot in December 2003, but later reformed .

(Lyrics by Ragnar Vikse) (Music by Gerhard Storesund) I have seen through raven's eyes Blood spilt on dwarves-made steel Young men, old men, ready to die Brave men's path to higher grounds I have often heard words of great wisdom Battlecries ring the fields I have been through water, air and fire Seen the hall of Hel, deep underground I shall not flee, though fated to die For never have I known - Fear I've seen foes blind and scared by death Dead corpses with ropes round their neck Berzerkers fighting with bare hands Battle is better than to burn in the bed I have heard the wolf-of-vows Chain's break at end of times Chaos roar through-out mankind Brutal battle- please the raven I shall not flee, though fated to die For never have I known - Fear Let my body's pyre fill the skies Take my mark and let it lead you to my hall Taste the blood in your mouth as you close the eyes "I shall burn forever" echos in your mind
