[Verse 1] The whale road stretches endlessly A path of foam and restless sea Fourteen brothers by my side With dreams of glory in their eyes One name returns with every wave The shadow waiting on the shore This Demon known as Grendel Will terrorise no more [Chorus] Across the sea beneath the sky Where ravens circle soaring high Across the sea where evil waits Across the waves to challenge fate Across the sea my oath remains To face whatever darkness reigns To face the shadow of my destiny In a hall across the sea [Verse 2] The stories changed with every port Yet every tale began the same A hall surrendered to the night A kingdom haunted by one name The years have forged his legend Of a curse across the sea But soon he will discover that He'll meet his match in me [Chorus] Across the sea beneath the sky Where ravens circle soaring high Across the sea where evil waits Across the waves to challenge fate Across the sea my oath remains To face whatever darkness reigns To face the shadow of my destiny In a hall across the sea [Verse 3] The Danish cliffs stood cold and grey As we stepped upon the shore A watchman came with cautious eyes To learn what we were sailing for His caution slowly turned to hope As our mission became clear He knew we'd come for only one The beast that rules with fear [Chorus] Across the sea beneath the sky Where ravens circle soaring high Across the sea where evil waits Across the waves to challenge fate Across the sea my oath remains To face whatever darkness reigns To face the shadow of my destiny In a hall across the sea [Bridge] No King commanded I should come No voice compelled these hands to fight I cross the sea because it's right I cross the sea to bring the light [Chorus] Across the sea beneath the sky Where ravens circle soaring high Across the sea where evil waits Across the waves to challenge fate Across the sea my oath remains To face whatever darkness reigns To face the shadow of my destiny In a hall across the sea... ...beneath the sky Where ravens circle soaring high Across the sea where evil waits Across the waves to challenge fate Across the sea my oath remains To face whatever darkness reigns To face the shadow of my destiny In a hall across the sea
