God of Vengeance
Ignitor Lyrics

The raiders struck, a hammer of their god,
The raiders invaded our town like a weapon wielded by their god, leaving it in flames.

To sweep through our town, leave it all aflame
They rampaged through our town, setting everything on fire, leaving nothing behind.

I watched my father's blood run down to the sea
I saw my father die as his blood flowed into the ocean.

And planned my revenge
I decided to take revenge for what they did.

As I get upon my knees
I kneel down.

Raise my sword to hall on high
I lift my sword towards the sky.

I look upon the velvet stars
I gaze at the stars in the clear night sky.

And know the gods say I will die
I understand that the gods have decided I will face death.

I will pledge myself to thee
I commit myself to you.

Oh, Odin one-eye, high above.
Oh, Odin one-eyed, up above in the heavens.

Grant me wisdom and the strength
Please give me the mental clarity and physical power.

To fight for the things that I love
So that I may battle for the things I cherish.

For the gods
For the benefit of the gods.

And a life of the olden ways
And the way of life in the past.

Odin's might
The power of Odin.

Odin's sword
The sword belonging to Odin.

Aesir fight
The Aesir are fighting.

Be by my side
Be next to me and support me.

One-eyed god
God with one eye.

Hall on high
The highest point of the hall.

Welcome me
Please welcome me.

I fight to die
I am ready and willing to fight unto death.

Bloodied helm
A helmet stained with blood.

Broken shield
A shield that has been destroyed.

Riding free
Riding without any restrictions.

Valkyrie, take me
Valkyrie, escort me.

While the ice cracks and groans in pain
As the ice splits and makes sounds of discomfort.

I look to the South and think about the day
I gaze towards the South and reflect on the future.

When I will rally my crew, we will take to the waters
The day when I will unite my team and go to the sea.

And blow the horns of war
We will signal the start of the battle with the horns of war.

When the fjords are running cold
During the times when the fjords are freezing.

The drakkars come around the bend
The ships come around the bend.

Dragonheads taste of the wind
The dragon-headed ships feel the wind.

Swords are sharpened to defend
The swords are sharpened and ready for defense.

I'll be standing on the prow
I will be standing on the bow of the ship.

Bringing vengeance with the waves
Delivering retaliation with the waves.

Ravens feast upon the blood
The ravens eat the blood of the victims.

While we lay you in your graves
While we bury you in your graves.

You will pay
You will have to atone for your sins.

For the lives you took on that day
For the people you took that day.

As vengeance burns deep in my eyes
As revenge burns hot in my eyes.

In the glory of war,
In the splendor of the war.

A sword did strike me down
I was hit and killed by a sword.

So cold on this strand, I wait for the maiden of war
I'm freezing on this shore, waiting for the war maiden.

To take me home
To take me to my final resting place.

Turn my gaze to hall on high
I look towards the hall on high.

Even though my sight is dim
Despite my sight being weak.

I see Valhalla, warm and wide
I perceive the spacious and warm Valhalla.

Passing through these golden doors
I pass through these doors of gold.

My father reaches out his hand
My father stretches out his hand.

To lead me to the afterlife
To guide me to the afterlife.

I earned defending my own land
I deserved defending my homeland.

"Come my son
Son, come to me.

You are brave; I am well avenged!"
You are courageous; I have been avenged well!
