The Revenge of Asa Lande
Stormwarrior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Awaiting the breake of dawne
Tyr by my side, the ravens cry up highe
To smother The Cruciform
Oh, hear the bells, the lies are crawling near
Invading our heathen homes
One final stande, a hundred suns from home
Turn to face the vengeance for our poisoned landes
Thy final blessing by this pagan hande
Ravens calling, Brothers falling
For the glory of Asa lande
Kings were blinded, my people dying
In the greate plains of Asa lande
Swift as arrows, running withe the wolves we'll fighte
Oh Yggdrasil, I will sense your pain
From far beyond the valkyries chant my name
Oh, by the gods, my blade won't fail
Oh, show the cross men from blacksteele we were forged
Now meet thy maker by my father's sworde
Ravens calling, Brothers falling
For the glory of Asa lande
Kings were blinded, my people dying
In the greate plains of Asa lande
(Solo)
Lowe downe your flags, leade thy army off fielde
And beg forgiveness for a thousande years
of rape, murder and tyranny
Ravens calling, Brothers falling
For the glory of Asa lande
Kings were blinded, my people dying
It's the greate revenge of the Asa lande
The lyrics of Stormwarrior's song "The Revenge of Asa Lande" depict a violent battle between the heathen Asa warriors and the invading Christians. The opening lines describe the scene of an impending battle, with dozens of dragonboats waiting at a distant shore for the break of dawn. The singer is accompanied by Tyr, the Norse god of war, and the ravens cry overhead indicating the impending carnage.
As the enemy approaches, the singer calls upon the elder gods for help and declares that this will be the final battle for his people. He faces the invaders with the goal of avenging the poisoned lands and the death of his people. The battle is fiercely fought, and despite the sacrifice of many of his brethren, the singer emerges victorious. In the end, he demands that the enemy surrender and beg forgiveness for the atrocities they had committed in the past.
Overall, the lyrics of "The Revenge of Asa Lande" are evocative of the viking spirit of determination and willpower, as the singer faces a seemingly insurmountable challenge with a fierce determination to protect his land and his people.

If you like Strormwarrior, try Gamma Ray and Manowar! Gamma Ray has a similar singer, and Manowar sings about Odin, Thor, the vikings, etc.
Hail To Stormwarrior! This is my favorite album from them!!!

I agree, but I can understand some people don't like Lars's voice, it is a really specific voice.

@puje It might be, loosely. Bathory inspired a bunch of viking metal bands. R.I.P. Quorthon.
