Once Sent From the Golden Hall (Sunlight recording) Songtext
von Amon Amarth

Rumbling thunder cracks the sky
And rain start pouring down
Lightning strikes a cold bright light
Upon the blood-drenched ground

The swordplay is hard, and many fall
Steel bites sharp in flesh
And upon a mountain, towering tall
Stands the messengers of death

Yeah, five horsemen in armor bright
Waiting in the flashing light
Looking down upon the field
Where Vikings fight with ax and shield


On stallions black as night
With eyes burning red
They ride with thunder to the fight
Deliverance of certain death

A war cry loud as Heimdall′s horn
Echoes across the land
Enemies who hear it freeze to the bones
Friends of doom proudly stand

They ride faster than the wind
With lightning speed, they strike
Black ravens follow where they've been
To feed from those who died

With power, they wield their swords
As they ride down fleeing men
Sending them to Hell′s dark court
To never come back again


Yeah, the warriors ride once more
To the mountain from which they came
Once sent by the gods to war
And they never return in shame
