Come, goddess of war….
A sword day, an axe day, the red dance of steel The blood-hunt, the head-hunt, the ravens’ delight We slaughter great armies to make her a meal We follow our radiant Queen of the night
I come with the tempest, on black wings I come The wrath of the earth, a flash in the sky I gather the harvest, I beat the black drum The Goddess of death and of battle am I
My hard-handed lovers I summon you all By blood and by fire, for battle I crave Leave wife and leave children, leave house and leave hall Come under my pinions, come love me and rage
A sword day, an axe day, the red dance of steel The blood-hunt, the head-hunt, the ravens’ delight We slaughter great armies to make her a meal We follow our radiant Queen of the night
My love is unending, my lust never dies Come pile me a hill of skulls and of bones My heart it is yearning for your battle-cries I sing you a love song when the big war-drum drones
So kingdoms have fallen, so empires shake For I am the Queen of death and of war My warriors I bless you, for foes’ hearts I break And no sound is sweater than my army’s great roar
A sword day, an axe day, the red dance of steel The blood-hunt, the head-hunt, the ravens’ delight We slaughter great armies to make her a meal We follow our radiant Queen of the night
I am your provider in life and in death I give you my love and my love never ends I give you great valour until your last breath And in my realm there are swords for your hands
A sword day, an axe day, the red dance of steel The blood-hunt, the head-hunt, the ravens’ delight We slaughter great armies to make her a meal We follow our radiant Queen of the night
I come with the tempest, on black wings I come The wrath of the earth, a flash in the sky I gather the harvest, I beat the black drum The Goddess of death and of battle am I
A sword day, an axe day, the red dance of steel The blood-hunt, the head-hunt, the ravens’ delight We slaughter great armies to make her a meal We follow our radiant Queen of the night
