Amon Amarth - Across The Rainbow Bridge Lyrics






My days are numbered: soon I have to leave
The Norns have stretched my living thread
The notion of my demise won't leave me be
Why cannot death just set me free!

I've lived a life of prosperity
But I'm not as young as I used to be
Down the road waits misery
Why cannot death just set me free!

Countless armies have I attacked
Not once have I backed down
And though I've spilled a lot of blood
I never once received a mortal wound

I've raided shores in many lands
I cannot count the men I've killed
So many friends died with sword in hand
But the warrior's death was never granted me

I dress myself in battle clothes
Alone I make the final ride
My sight is blurred, by whipping snow
I seek to end my life

I want to walk across the Rainbow Bridge
And see my fathers in the golden hall
They beckon me to join their feast
In my dreams I hear their call

Amon Amarth Across The Rainbow Bridge Comments
  1. S.... ....

    When you enter Valhalla, Amon Amarth is piped in through the PA system 24/7.

  2. M.... G....

    1.08 2019 Still coming back to this version so fucking epic <3

  3. R.... ....

    1:20 definitely the manliest thing I’ll ever fucking see

  4. I.... A....

    que voz impressionante

    I.... A....

    Vocal gutural fodaa!

  5. R.... ....

    Do any other melodic death metal bands come close to these guys? I can’t find any!

  6. S.... ....

    It's a huge testament to how good a band is when they sound even better live than they do in the studio. This song is amazing. I love this band!

    S.... ....

    To be honest the album sounds like shit so its no surprise.

  7. K.... M....

    Set me FREEEEEEEEEE

  8. G.... A....

    set me FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

  9. F.... ....

    I've listened to many, many, many metal bands and I've heard many pig squeals. I have yet to find one that is even in the same league as 2:03. Greatest Amon Amarth song in my opinion.

    F.... ....

    Indeef he is a gresr vocalist. But in all fairness there's a lot of reverb added to it making it sound much bigger than it actually is. If a presentation is about skill only is a weak one. He's narrating a story with the band though music, skill allthough is beyond this world, is a secondary thing

  10. j.... r....

    This song gives me chills. Beautiful and powerful. I wish I could do one thing in my life this perfect.

  11. P.... G....

    Fui ao concerto deles aqui em manaus, minha barba cresceu numa noite!!!!

  12. C.... D....

    He's taken to the Nord Mead Hall for the eve!

  13. S.... B....

    Hey, Johan! Want a beer?

    "Ja, give me THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

  14. D.... f....

  20. J.... G....

    best band in the history of death metal. Period.

    d.... ....

    They are so fucking underappreciated its unbelievable

    d.... ....

    In the history of metal* \m/

  24. O.... E....

  32. s.... b....

    i like the way Amon whips his hair around

    s.... b....

    +steve brule IS that because YOU DON"T HAVE ANY!!

    s.... b....

    Can't be a doctor and have hair like a hunk

  33. I.... S....

    Why cannot death just set me WREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

  34. b.... ....

    When Johan sings out: "IN.. MY DREAMS.. I HEAR THEIR.. CAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!!!" I get really intense shivers all over, especially in this live version.

    This band is so amazing... Skal!!

  35. V.... B....

    THE SQUEEEEEEAAAAALLLLL IS JUST TTOOOOO DAMMMNNNN HIGGHHHHHH

  36. B.... T....

    666*likes how mint is that !

  37. i.... ....

    This band is like iron maiden met gojira

    i.... ....

    @igunzOsick You hit the nail, my two favorite bands of all time: Amon Amarth / Iron Maiden \m/ \m/

    i.... ....

    Iron Maiden is very obviously a heavy influence on the band if you know Iron Maidens guitar work well enough. You hear major Maiden like rhythms in Amon Amarths music.

    i.... ....

    Worst comparison ever.

  38. S.... P....

    The lyrics to this song give me goosebumps every time.  If you don't know them, LOOK THEM UP

    S.... P....

    same as thousand years of oppresion!

    S.... P....

    Why cannot death just set me free!
