Much ill will suffer
Oaken oarlocks
Sea be lifted sithen
Onwards, Northmen
Iron mailed great dragon
Sea be lifted sithen




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Conan's song Sea Lord seem to be an incantation or a mantra spoken by seafaring warriors. The phrase "much ill will suffer" suggests that the journey they're about to undertake will be dangerous and difficult, but the following lines provide a sense of urgency and determination. "Oaken oarlocks" and "sea be lifted sithen" suggest the act of rowing and the lifting of sails, respectively. The "northmen" reference indicates a Nordic or Viking origin, which adds to the idea of seafaring warriors.

John Davis vocals always stood out to me on this recording over other conan releases, I always wondered how some doom bands achieve the vocals as if they were submerged or in compressed submarine
