Folkearth
When Long Ships Arrive
Drakkars In The Mist
[Intro]
| | G| | | | |
[Verse 1]
The secrets of the wind
Are whispered to the leaves
The song of hidden creeks
In the bronzing autumn light
[Verse 2]
Elven dance
In the twi-i-light
The riddles of the sea
Raise a murmur to the shore
[Verse 3]
O, mermaid,
Answer me!
Where's now the hero
Did he stand or did he fall?
[Verse 4]
Rolling thunder in the distance
A heavy rain begins to pour
I welcome the chariot of Thor
The wrath of the heavens above
[Verse 5]
Full of pride I raise my sword
The dying sound of battle horns
The screams subside on the field
The creek I knew so long ago
Now red it foams and rolls
[Chorus]
I yearn for the tide
When long ships arrive
Underneath the amber sky
Wherein Odin's ravens fly
[Chorus]
I yearn for the tide
When long ships arrive
Underneath the amber sky
Wherein Odin's ravens fly
[Instrumental interlude]
