Amon Amarth – On A Sea Of Blood lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm standing by myself
Abiding
Just me and no one else
No hiding

[Verse 2]
Horizon crumbles under flaming skies
A shadow screams from thunderclouds up high
Nidhögg comes in winds of burning flames
Cast down, war and endless pain

[Pre-Chorus 2]
It's coming; brace myself
I'm ready
It's coming; no escape
Stand Steady

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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 it's breath

[Pre-Chorus 3]
I turn around, face myself
Yet, it isn't I
With fear and rage I run me through
As I watch me die!

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Get ready!
Stand steady!

It's coming, brace myself
Abiding
It's coming, certain death
No hiding
