Legend of a Banished Man Songtext
von Amon Amarth

Run for your lives, death has arrived
Try save your souls
Run from the sound of rowing oars
Out of the mist breaks a dragon ship
Even more feared than the nail-ship Naglfar

A bear-coated man stands in the bow
Cold-eyed he gazes towards the shore

The dragon′s head is grim and red
All covered with blood, a gift to the mighty gods
Warshields are raised, the gods are praised
The people stare paralyzed with fear

The legend tells of a man that fell
From grace of his baptized king
As a banished man he fled his land
But solemnly swore to return with holy war
With holy war


But no one knows how the legend goes
'Cause no one′s survived that's gazed into his eyes
No one's returned
That′s met his fire

Legend tells of a man that fell
From grace of his baptized king
As a banished man he fled his land
But solemnly swore to return with holy war

Wolf-skinned men follow him
Berserks whose eyes burn with flames of ice
Some say mighty Thor guides their blades in war
They say they cannot be killed
Nor can their blood be spilled
So run for your lives, death has arrived
The legend has come to kill the deceitful ones
Run for your lives, the death ship′s arrived
There's no way you′ll live to tell of meeting his fire
