Recounting on the Seas Lyrics

Album: Heorot

Enter a beast of pure murder, disrupting the peace of the hall

Close the doors, sending across the sea for aid

Warriors heeding the call, summoned to distant shore, protecting all

Sail the great divide, soon comes the battle, no longer to hide

Coursing the sea as we laugh at the past

Long is the night while the monster still takes breath

Tales keep us warm while exposed to the cold air

Soon to arrive and the burden they will share

Death lingers on, why are we so cursed?

Counting the days until the lifting arrives

A band of warriors bring aid to keep us alive

Pulling ashore, the young soldiers embark

Tension across the land soon to be cloaked by the dark

Tales told, all are heroic battles and brawls

Seeking the end, rallying heroes to defend the hall

Now they march on, traveling forests to greet a king

Battle will commence, an uplifting outlook the warriors bring
