[Ensiferum - Sword Chant lyrics]
A flaming blade of the dark
Shadows struck the lands
With furious lightning it fell into
The hands of man
And the ancient fire came down
Down from the sky into the ground
Down from the sky into the ground
The clouds moved aside as the sword
Was cast from the sky
Burnt by a mark of fire
Who shall make this find
And the grey clouds were watching down
Down from the sky into the ground
As the shapes of light were drowned
Creatures started crawling from the
Ashes and smoke
And the night was cursed and drifting
Within the winds so cold
And the knights from the
Sea were marching down
To the deep caverns down
Down where the old spells are found
The war was growing in the
Old lands and towns
From the mountains war drums pounded
With a deafening sound
They'll seek the Sword forevermore
Until in battle they'll fall
Now, hear the battle's call
Who dares to play with death
Who smells the dragon's breath
No grief for the fallen ones
The search for the sword has begun
Great as the mountains and seas
Grim as the earth and old trees
Made from the glimmer of golden lakes
Chained with fire that never fades
Rocks and stones they carve and mould
When the rivers run fierce and cold
May this chant haunt your past
For this Sword is yours at last
Raise the arms the battle is near
Through the mud and waters clear
The blood is coloring the lands again
A sign of victory the wind will send
Shadows struck the lands
With furious lightning it fell into
The hands of man
And the ancient fire came down
Down from the sky into the ground
Down from the sky into the ground
The clouds moved aside as the sword
Was cast from the sky
Burnt by a mark of fire
Who shall make this find
And the grey clouds were watching down
Down from the sky into the ground
As the shapes of light were drowned
Creatures started crawling from the
Ashes and smoke
And the night was cursed and drifting
Within the winds so cold
And the knights from the
Sea were marching down
To the deep caverns down
Down where the old spells are found
The war was growing in the
Old lands and towns
From the mountains war drums pounded
With a deafening sound
They'll seek the Sword forevermore
Until in battle they'll fall
Now, hear the battle's call
Who dares to play with death
Who smells the dragon's breath
No grief for the fallen ones
The search for the sword has begun
Great as the mountains and seas
Grim as the earth and old trees
Made from the glimmer of golden lakes
Chained with fire that never fades
Rocks and stones they carve and mould
When the rivers run fierce and cold
May this chant haunt your past
For this Sword is yours at last
Raise the arms the battle is near
Through the mud and waters clear
The blood is coloring the lands again
A sign of victory the wind will send
