Hammer of the Thunder God : Unknown shores (Album version)

[Verse] Three black sails on the cold gray sea A whisper in the wind carried dread to me Waves like wolves howling at the shore [Chorus] Heathen men With iron in their hands Heathen men Stealing blood from the land Heathen men The earth trembles where they stand [Verse 2] Beaduheard rode His heart bold and wide Words like stones But the axe replied The soil drank deep The reeve's voice died [Prechorus] Three ships came Three shadows grew The sky cracked open The storm broke through [Chorus] Heathen men With iron in their hands Heathen men Stealing blood from the land Heathen men The earth trembles where they stand [Bridge] Who calls them demons Who calls them men They write their saga in blood and sin A Chronicle etched in fire and skin [Verse] Three ships on the horizon wide The wind it howled the waves they cried From far-off lands where shadows creep They came ashore to break the peace [Prechorus] Beaduheard rode to meet the tide Unarmed he spoke they cut his pride [Chorus] Heathen men they came with fire Heathen men with cruel desire The coast of Wessex stained in red Beaduheard fell the first bloodshed [Verse 2] Axes gleamed like stars in night They brought no mercy only fight Where is their god NOW [Prechorus] A warning carved in blood and stone Wessex would not stand alone [Chorus] Heathen men they came with fire Heathen men with cruel desire The coast of Wessex stained in red Beaduheard fell the first bloodshed
