lyrics

Njord guides our ships through
the crushing waves of the seas
Sailing onward into battle,
glory, and death
He blew us off course
By storms most great
We were never to see
our homes in the North again

Father of the Twins, Freya and Freyr
Husband to the Skadi, the god of the wind
Your breath fills the sails upon our ships
As crashing waves smash upon the joints of the hull

Postliminary landing upon the ancient desert shores
The pharoh laid seige to our mighty force
We exterminated the might egytian army
Now their carian rot vile upon Necropolis
Hindmost the battle we march through the land
Pushing forward through the blistering heat and sand
Trapped between valleys surrounded by plants that lacerate
Mirages now set in, hallucinations affiliate


the sands fill the lungs desert fever sets in
Absorbed by the heat now abstain from breathing
A legacy gone hopes and dreams now are crushed
Souls leave their bodies, wither away
Devoured by the sands of time
Heat to rival that of muspell
The sun burns the flesh, dries out the skin
One by one, the Norsemen all fall

We despair upon Sutur's fire
Watching as my brothers succumb to the blistering heat
No valkyries will fly to gather our fallen souls
Odin's mighty golden hall we'll never see
Upon the sands we lie withering away towards death
Njord regrets sending us upon this cursed land
Sorrow through the nine realms sent to Niflheim
The Aesir wail as my brothers in arms fall

Sands fill the lungs desert fever sets in
Absorbed by the heat now abstain from breathing
A legacy gone hopes and dreams now are crushed
Souls leave their bodies, wither away
Devoured by the sands of time
Heat to rival that of muspell
The sun burns the flesh, dries out the skin
One by one, the Norsemen all fall
