Amorphis - Pyres on the Coast lyrics
[Amorphis - Pyres on the Coast lyrics]
They came once and they will come again
Their sails darken the moon
Black flags waving in the night
They think they'll catch us unawares
The fires were lit in the night
Their ships carried by rushing waves
But the salmon sang what he heard
The eagle told what he saw
The fires were lit in the night
The fires were lit in the night
Their slave-ships the foams spat out
The raiders of the black waves
They moored their ships to our shores
But the salmon sang what he heard
The eagle told what he saw
The fires were lit in the night
Can you see the pyres on the coast
The fires in the night
From hill to hill the message rings
We know they are coming
Behold the pyres on the coast
The fires in the night
From hill to hill the message rings
We know they are coming
Into bears turned our men
Into wolves our brave women
Into birds our children
Into fire our wise elders
But the salmon sang what he heard
The eagle told what he saw
The fires were lit in the night
Can you see the pyres on the coast
The fires in the night
From hill to hill the message rings
We know they are coming
Behold the pyres on the coast
The fires in the night
From hill to hill the message rings
We know they are coming
We know they are coming!
Their sails darken the moon
Black flags waving in the night
They think they'll catch us unawares
The fires were lit in the night
Their ships carried by rushing waves
But the salmon sang what he heard
The eagle told what he saw
The fires were lit in the night
The fires were lit in the night
Their slave-ships the foams spat out
The raiders of the black waves
They moored their ships to our shores
But the salmon sang what he heard
The eagle told what he saw
The fires were lit in the night
Can you see the pyres on the coast
The fires in the night
From hill to hill the message rings
We know they are coming
Behold the pyres on the coast
The fires in the night
From hill to hill the message rings
We know they are coming
Into bears turned our men
Into wolves our brave women
Into birds our children
Into fire our wise elders
But the salmon sang what he heard
The eagle told what he saw
The fires were lit in the night
Can you see the pyres on the coast
The fires in the night
From hill to hill the message rings
We know they are coming
Behold the pyres on the coast
The fires in the night
From hill to hill the message rings
We know they are coming
We know they are coming!
