I feel a chill in my heart Like lingering winter cold I and my son are torn apart He was just 6 winters old My first-born was he And the last of my kin The last one to carry my name Death smiled at him its deadly grin There is no one for me to blame The fate of Norns await us all There is no way to escape The day to answer Oden's call Or walk through hell's gate I carry him to my ship He seems to be asleep But the deep blue color of his lips Is enough to make me weep No man should have to bury his child Yet this has been my share The tears I shed run bitter and wild It's a heavy burden to bear His body feels so light in my arms His skin is pale as snow Yet his weight feels heavy in my heart As my sadness continues to grow Allfather! What fate has been given me? Why must I suffer? Why must I feel this pain? Allfather! Life has lost it's meaning to me I think I'm going insane! I lay him down on a pyre A burial worthy of a king And as I lie down by his side I hear the weaving norns sing The fate of Norns await us all There is no way to escape The day to answer Oden's call Or walk through hel's gate The fate of Norns await us all I know this to be true It's time to answer Odens's call My son, he calls for me and you
I cried a little. The tormented fury of despair for the father of a fallen child was told through this song so well, I couldn't help it. I wanted to scream too at his loss.
I can’t describe the feeling this song gives me. It’s in my top 5 metal songs
Saddest amon amarth song... cant even listen at work without deep thought of loss of child. Life before modern medicine must have been tormenting.
For those who dont know, Norns are 3 ladys that spins your your fate with threads, kinda like your dna but 2000 years before. Often some ppl turns out to be AIKare(Good) :sometimes bad like Djurgårdare or Hammarbyare
One of my favorite songs of all time
Riff of the century.
What sick man (3 of them no less) could leave a dislike on such a beautiful song?
First ever Amon Amarth CD I ever bought when it was released 🔥
This song gives me chills
The song goes deep.
2:50 That scream... Full of tears, agony, pain and wrath... Why is it that for some Oden's call is too early 😢
damn that song is outstanding & sentimentalðŸ˜
If this song wasn't so damn good, I wouldn't be able to stand listening to it. It's such a depressing story....
Imagine not getting at least goosebumps when you read the lyrics
The best thing ever made my amon amarth!!! So underrated
I love, love, love, love, love, love it!!!
super song, super theme and melodie
Every time I hear this song I genuinely feel my throat Stiffen as I get on the verge of Crying. Such a sad Story.
