Northern Sword - Set Sails

Warm tears stream down my face
My father sends me on my way
My heart now filled with woe
Against my will, I must go

Many tales I've heard of death
I dread the thought of my last breath
A maiden's touch I have yet to feel
Passed down was my father's steel

Heave! Ho!
We sing now as we row
Heave! Ho!
To unknown lands we'll go

Embarking out across the sea
Mother cries her goodbyes to me
Hope shattered, I cannot flee
This battle laid in front of me

Set sails!
No return until we've won
My life of conquest has just begun

Black paint smeared across my face
War horns cause my heart to race
Sword trembles in my hand
Shields rise as we hold our stand

Heave! Ho!
We sing now as we row
Heave! Ho!
To unknown lands we'll go

Cold sweat chills me to the bone
Many pass to be set in stone
War cries echo through the air
I feel the enemies' hateful glare

Set sails!
No return until we've won
My life of conquest has just begun
