Amon Amarth - Gods Of War Arise Lyrics






Darkness flees the rising sun
The village lies ahead
It will wake to a new day soon
Soon they all be dead

We came in cover of moonless night
Fifty man at arms
Now at first morning light,
The church bell sound the alarm

Sacrifice to Gods of old
Bleed them of their lives
Fresh blood on our swords
Gods Of War Arise!

Sacrifice to Gods of old
Bleed them of their lives
Fresh blood on our swords
Gods Of War Arise!

Hear the tortured screams
Shattering the air
They awake the soothing dreams
Into their worst nightmare

Fire sweeps their homes
They feel the dragon’s breath
Consuming and destructive flames
Agonising death

Some seek shelter in the church
A refuge for those with faith
But we know how to smoke them out
A pyre will be raised

But those who choose to stand and fight
Will die with dignity
For the unfortunate few who survive
Waits a life in slavery

The day draws to an end
The night comes dark and cold
We return to our ships
With silver, slaves and gold

We gave them agony, as they fell and die
The gods have granted victory
For our sacrifice

The day draws to an end
The night comes dark and cold
We return to our ships
With silver, slaves and gold
We gave them agony
As they fell and die
The Gods have granted victory
For our sacrifice

  29. b.... ....

    This song brought me to Melo Death and I´m still there.

  30. c.... ....

    This song is really great...until 2:53, when it becomes monumental, comparable to metal's milestones (Dio starts singing, Metallica's Fight fire with fire, IM's Hallowed be thy name). My two cents: proper use of rhythm guitar; the music become multidimensional, no longer music making but rather music composition. Awesome.

    c.... ....

    people who only listen to mainstream got no idea what they're missing out on. almost feel bad for them

  31. T.... ....

    French translation / Traduction francaise

    l'eveil des dieux de la guerre

    Les tenebres chassent le soleil levant
    le village apparait devant nous
    bientot, il se reveillera sur un nouveau jour
    Bientot, tous seront morts

    nous sommes venus dans le noir d'une nuit sans lune
    50 hommes d'armes
    et aux premieres lueurs du matin
    les cloches de l'eglise sonnerent l'alarme

    Un sacrfice aux anciens dieux
    saignons les à morts
    du sang frais sur nos épées
    l'eveil des dieux de la guerre

    Un sacrfice aux anciens dieux
    saignons les à morts
    du sang frais sur nos épées
    l'eveil des dieux de la guerre

    Entends les cris de douleurs
    s'elever dans les airs
    Ils furent arrachés à leurs reves apaisants
    pour etre plongés dans leur pire cauchemard

    Le feu balaie leurs maisons
    Ils sentent le souffle du dragon
    Des flames brulantes et destructrices
    Une mort dans l'agonie

    certains se cacherent dans l'eglise
    un refuge pour les croyants
    mais nous savions comment les enfumés
    un bucher fut errigé

    Ceux qui choisisent de rester et se battre
    mourront dans la dignitée
    Quand aux malchanceux qui survivront
    ce sera une vie d'esclavage

    La fin du jour arrive
    apparait la nuit, froide et sombre
    Nous retournons à nos navires
    avec argent, esclaves et or

    Nous leurs avons offert l'agonie
    alors qu'ils tombaient et mourraient
    Les dieux nous ont accordés la victoire
    Pour notre sacrifice

    La fin du jour arrive
    apparait la nuit, froide et sombre
    Nous retournons a nos navires
    avec argent, esclaves et or

    Nous leurs avons offert l'agonie
    alors qu'ils tombaient et mourraient
    Les dieux nous ont accordés la victoire
    Pour notre sacrifice

  32. e.... ....

  34. R.... A....

    a pyre will be raised

  35. C.... C....

    Darkness flees the rising sun
    The village lies ahead
    It will wake to a new day soon
    Soon they all be dead

    We came in cover of moonless night
    Fifty man at arms
    Now at first morning light,
    The church bell sound the alarm

    Sacrifice to Gods of old
    Bleed them of their lives
    Fresh blood on our swords
    Gods Of War Arise!

    Sacrifice to Gods of old
    Bleed them of their lives
    Fresh blood on our swords
    Gods Of War Arise!

    Hear the tortured screams
    Shattering the air
    They awake the soothing dreams
    Into their worst nightmare

    Fire sweeps their homes
    They feel the dragon’s breath
    Consuming and destructive flames
    Agonising death

    Some seek shelter in the church
    A refuge for those with faith
    But we know how to smoke them out
    A pyre will be raised

    But those who choose to stand and fight
    Will die with dignity
    For the unfortunate few who survive
    Waits a life in slavery

    The day draws to an end
    The night comes dark and cold
    We return to our ships
    With silver, slaves and gold

    We gave them agony, as they fell and die
    The gods have granted victory
    For our sacrifice

    The day draws to an end
    The night comes dark and cold
    We return to our ships
    With silver, slaves and gold
    We gave them agony
    As they fell and die
    The Gods have granted victory
    For our sacrifice

  41. H.... ....

    I always hear ''we return to our ships with silver, sweets and gold'' ...I didn't even know it meant ''slaves'' until i looked it up.

    I guess the vikings might have taken sweets home, too?!

    H.... ....

    Sweets are for geys ;) @Hustensaftvernichter

    H.... ....

    Masculine trick or treat

    H.... ....

    @Hustensaftvernichter But those who were not able to fight, women, elderly and children often hid there alongside with the riches during raids, that's why they became a favoured target of the Vikings

  42. D.... M....

    Just awesome. Strong, great song. Amon Amarth, just Heavy Metal monsters!

    D.... M....

    this is fucking melodic death, no heavy metal jajaja
