Stoneface dog, swirling fog, gates open on the dark dark night Standing stone, skull and bone, dead witness to an unseen fight Beat the drum, beat the drum, beat forever on the endless march Stricken dumb, cut and run, someone is screaming and the sky is dark [Chorus] Sword and shield, bone and steel, rictus grin Deaf forever to the battles din March or croak, flame and smoke, burn forever in eternal pain Charge and fall, bugle call, bone splinter in the driving rain Horses scream, Viking dream, drowned heroes in a lake of blood Armoured fist, severed wrist, broken spears in a sea of mud [Repeat chorus] Mother earth, mother earth enfold you in her cold embrace Sinking down, killing ground, worm crawling on your cold white face Win or lose, nought to choose, all men are equal when their memory fades No one knows, friends or foes, if Valhalla lies beyond the grave [Repeat chrous + last 2 lines twice] Aus Songtexte Mania
