Deaf Forever
Stoneface dog, swirling fog,Gates open on the dark dark nightStanding stone, skull and bone,Dead witness to an unseen fightBeat the drum, beat the drum,Beat forever on the endless marchStricken dumb, cut and run,Someone is screaming and the sky is dark
Sword and shield, bone and steel, rictus grinDeaf forever to the battles din
March or croak, flame and smoke,Burn forever in eternal painCharge and fall, bugle call,Bone splinter in the driving rainHorses scream, Viking dream,Drowned heroes in a lake of bloodArmoured fist, severed wrist,Broken spears in a sea of mud
Sword and shield, bone and steel, rictus grinDeaf forever to the battles din
Mother earth, mother earth,Enfolds you in her cold embraceSinking down, killing ground,Worm crawling on your cold white faceWin or lose, nought to choose,All men are equal when their memory fadesNo one knows, friends or foes,If Valhalla lies beyond the grave
Sword and shield, bone and steel, rictus grinDeaf forever to the battles din
