Amon Amarth - Avenger Lyrics






My pale face face glows in the light of fire
My hollow eyes see but cannot see
I stare deep into the glowing inferno
The loss I feel is breaking me

I heard their screams
Through flaming walls
Walls, I could not tear down
I could not help them

I'd been away for two full years
Only to return too late to save them
Helplessly I watched my life go up in flames

I pull the sword from the glowing fire
And hammer-beat in on the anvil
Forging it with rage and hate
I will seal my enemy's fate

I engrave the blade with magic runes
And summon Gods by sacrifice in blood
Pure blue hate shines within this sword
This magic sword will cut only once

No sword has ever been like this one
The Avenger is its name

Now my sworn enemy
Vengeance will belong to me
A year has gone by
Now my sworn enemy
It's your turn to die
It's your turn to die!
Die!
To die!
Die, die!
Die, die!
Die, die, die, die, die!

The sword cuts through his throat
His head tumbles to the ground
The headless body lays gently down
Down to sleep in a pool of blood

The Avenger has lost its shine
The magic is now drained
Dull and useless it rests in my hand
Its purpose is soon fulfilled

Now hate is gone but emptiness remains
So I turn the blade around
And run it through my stomach veins
And I fall to the ground

Amon Amarth Avenger Comments
  1. A.... t....

    Bleed for Ancient Gods

    Making way through blades and spears
    We attack at dawn
    The glory scene is near
    From northern gods we're spawned

    Defender's fighting spirit crack
    Torching house of single god
    We leave land burnt black
    And bodies floating in blood

    War to us is holy
    We sacrifice our blood
    War to us is holy
    We bleed for ancient Gods

    Blasting forth with rage in our war eyes
    We burn with hate
    Cut our way through hordes of weak Christian flesh
    Cast them into death
    WAR!

    War to us is holy
    We sacrifice our blood
    War to us is holy
    We bleed for ancient Gods

    Burn away the false and untrue ones
    We make them kneel
    To the only true and powerful Gods
    And then we kill
    WAR!

    A.... t....

    North Sea Storm

    Above my heads mighty men battle
    Flashing blades rip through the air
    Cracking shields with rumbling thunder
    Rolling over the waves

    Blood pours like rain onto the sea
    As it wind-whipped foams
    Warlords in shining helmets
    Send men screaming to their death

    Clouds of black cover the sea
    Day turns into night
    Infinite darkness beckons me
    No more sun, no more light

    Ships tied stern to stern
    A battle on the north sea waves
    Hearts of braves brightly burn
    Berserks swing their metal-blades

    Battle hammers hit with force
    Crushing helmet covers heads
    Dying men tumble over board
    Foaming waves colored red

    Memories invade my mind
    As my harness brings me down

    My body's getting cold and numb
    As the ocean pulls me down

    Above my head my brave friends battle
    Their flashing blades rip through the air
    Sending men screaming to join me
    As I die in these cold north sea waves

    A.... t....

    Avenger

    My pale face face glows in the light of fire
    My hollow eyes see but cannot see
    I stare deep into the glowing inferno

    God, His Son and Holy Whore

    Serpent tongue speaks to me
    Of a man from southern land
    How ancient Gods are enemies
    But I don't understand

    Hippocritic voice of love talks of peace and Christ
    Blasphemer of Gods above
    One thousand years of lies

    They hold their swords to out throats
    And force-feed us with faith
    'Bout god, his son and holy whore
    But now we retaliate

    Prophets of a false believe talk with tongue of ice
    Threaten us with hell beneath
    Now they all shall die

    Turn the blade around, put the oppressors down

    Free yourselves from the chains
    Of lies that hold you down
    Arise to be free again
    We'll fight till we have won

    Priests of hippocratic love talk of peace and Christ
    Power is their only goal
    Now they all shall die

    Turn the blade around, put the oppressors down

    Mess with us and you will feel
    A pain so true yet so unreal

    Yeah, use your hate, uncreate
    Christian state will meet its fate

    God, his son and holy whore
    Now you will meet your fate

    A.... t....

    Metalwrath

    Wrath, hate, pain and death
    The code we live by
    It's in our souls
    Metal is the way

    We fight the world
    With glowing metal
    Now the falses will pay

    Our fight has just begun
    We're sent from hall of gold
    Messengers of death

    We're coming after you
    You can't escape us
    We'll take away your breath

    See us ride for vengeance
    Friends of the sun cross
    We are born of steel

    See us ride down
    The Amon Amarth
    The last sight you'll ever see

    So as you stand there
    Under gray-clouded skies
    Abandoned by your god
    You know you're gonna die

    You feel a sorrow
    Surrounding you
    As of the nine worlds
    Screaming pain you feel
    Your soul vaporizes
    As your hearts burst

    We charge without fear
    Your time has come
    Your Fimbul winter's arrived

    A chilling wind of ice
    Whirls through your heart
    Pierces your bones and spine

    We are all
    Gazing to the skies
    We'll make the false hammer fall
    And we'll make Thor arise

    Our quest is done
    Your creation burns
    Now we return to Odin's hall

    Our dragon's fly
    Across the waves
    As twilight begins to fall

    In victory we ride
    We enter the mighty doors
    Of the spear-god's hall

    As Ygg salutes us
    We raise our beers
    And drink in honor of our cause

    We are all
    Greeted by the Gods
    We made the false hammer fall
    And Thor arose in blood

    A.... t....

    Legend of a Banished Man

    Run for your lives, death has arrived
    Try save your soul, run from the sound of rowing oars

    Out of the mist
    Breaks a dragon ship
    Even more feared
    Than the nail-ship "Naglfar"

    A bear-coated man stands in the bow
    Cold-eyed he gazes towards the shoer
    The dragon's head is grim and red
    All covered with blood, a gift to the mighty Gods

    Warshields are raised, the Gods are praised
    The people stare paralyzed with fear

    The legend tells of a man that fell
    From grace of his baptised king
    As a banished man he fled his land
    But solemnly sworn to return with holy war

    But no one knows how the legend goes
    'Cause no ones survived
    That's gazed into his eyes
    'Cause no one's returned that's met his fire

    They say wolf-skinned men follow him
    Berserks whose eyes burn with flames of ice

    Some say mighty Thor
    Guides their blades in war
    They say they cannot be killed
    Nor can their blood be spilled

    So run for your lives
    Death has arrived
    The legend has come
    To take the lives of the deceitful ones

    Run for your lives
    The death ship's arrived
    There's no way you'll live
    To tell of meeting his fire

  8. D.... A....

    I remember hearing Bleed for ancient gods on my necropolis sampler i got with pit magazine back in 1999. I had once sent from the golden hall on cd already. So i caught on to this band early on and they're still 1 of my favorites.

    J.... R....

    yep same here lol

    J.... R....

    Just the way things play out sometimes, at least your enjoying it now. I'm 41 and only just begun myself within the past couple of years enjoying the extreme side of metal, up until then I listened to the popular mainstream metal groups which I still enjoy I don't hate on the popular stuff but was a bit nervous when I was younger to listen to death metal and other more aggressive genres. I'm glad I finally gave the extreme side a chance I'm finding a lot I like.

  10. A.... V....

    Best amon amarth album

    S.... R....

    I don't think I can pick out a favorite album, love em all but I guess I do find myself listening to surtur rising the most but then again in my opinion you could squash all their albums together, even with the differences they would still mesh fairly well together.

  12. J.... L....

    Yes finally an upload of this album that actually sounds good and doesn't cut the songs short.

  13. L.... S....
