3. On a Sea of Blood (4:05)
Drifting alone upon the dragon ship
Eerily still, no winds that tear or whip
Silence deafens, the sea is mirror calm
Blood runs like the water from my palm
I'm standing by myself
Abiding
Just me and no one else
No hiding
Horizon crumbles under flaming skies
A shadow screams from thunderclouds up high
Nidhogg comes in winds of burning flames
Cast down war and endless pain
It's coming
Brace myself
I'm ready
It's coming
No escape
Stand steady
Out on this bloody sea I'll face my destiny
Lost in a dreadful dream I'll meet my fate
Out on this blood sea, this is my prophecy
A notion of what's to be, there's no escape
The dragon sweeps down with a roar
Sky and ocean shake
It tears up waves of blood and gore
The longship nearly breaks
Passing just above my head
A stench of putrid death
Rotting flesh of thousands dead
Dwells upon its breath
I turn around
Face myself
Yet it isn't I
with fear and rage
I run me through
as I watch me die!
Out on this bloody sea, I'll face my destiny
Lost in a dreadful dream, I'll meet my fate
Out on this bloody sea, this is my prophecy
A notion of what's to be, there's no escape
Get ready!
Stand steady!
It's coming
Brace myself
Abiding
It's coming
Certain death
No hiding
Eerily still, no winds that tear or whip
Silence deafens, the sea is mirror calm
Blood runs like the water from my palm
I'm standing by myself
Abiding
Just me and no one else
No hiding
Horizon crumbles under flaming skies
A shadow screams from thunderclouds up high
Nidhogg comes in winds of burning flames
Cast down war and endless pain
It's coming
Brace myself
I'm ready
It's coming
No escape
Stand steady
Out on this bloody sea I'll face my destiny
Lost in a dreadful dream I'll meet my fate
Out on this blood sea, this is my prophecy
A notion of what's to be, there's no escape
The dragon sweeps down with a roar
Sky and ocean shake
It tears up waves of blood and gore
The longship nearly breaks
Passing just above my head
A stench of putrid death
Rotting flesh of thousands dead
Dwells upon its breath
I turn around
Face myself
Yet it isn't I
with fear and rage
I run me through
as I watch me die!
Out on this bloody sea, I'll face my destiny
Lost in a dreadful dream, I'll meet my fate
Out on this bloody sea, this is my prophecy
A notion of what's to be, there's no escape
Get ready!
Stand steady!
It's coming
Brace myself
Abiding
It's coming
Certain death
No hiding
