My Name Will Live On
DoomSword Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here in the battlefield, laying still on the ground
I just remember my native land.
I left on a spring sunny day
To lead my ship toward the west
Until we reached a green island
Vast and desert it seemed to be.

A White God house we saw so far
We attack the abbey without fear
Our flames grew higher to the sky
A tribute to the One Eyed God.

On a cloudy autumn day
A great army came to the camp
They brought the sign of the cross
Steel meets steel, the Cross against the Hammer.
My sons shall tell of this day
On which their father died
A glorious breed has been their one
Through their words my name will live on.





Father and Son, the glory will live on...

They announced a new album, 10 years after eternal battle. I was hopeless...but they're back

@Mikkonen Yes! We can scream it loud! they said it will be an album about Conan the Barbarian. I also suggest you to listen at Gjallarhorn album "Nordheim". This is another Italian band in some ways connected with Doomsword.

Mikkonen

There's no way... holy fuck I'm gonna enjoy that.
