LYRICS This is war Raise the raven banner This is war Lead me to the bloodshed This is war Guide me into battle This is war Raise the raven banner This is war Sigils engraved in armor and iron, their sorcerous signs burned onto my face Painted by elders and hallowed by witches, drawing the script of a blood prophecy

No need for beauty and no need for grace You count your blessings, and I count your days The forest is rumbling The wild boars awake Deer seek for shelter; they hide in the shadows Flee from the sound of my battle drums Cover me in the skin Of the Fenrir Wolf My blade was a gift from the raging sky For the oath I shall keep, for the men that will die

This is war Raise the raven banner This is war Lead me to the bloodshed This is war Guide me into battle This is war Raise the raven banner This is war This is war

They call the daughter delivered by storm Never kneel, nor will I fall My vow that was spoken, sworn on my valor, we raise the raven banner

Shadows may rise, and the torches burn out But I will not shiver My vow that was spoken in ancient times, none shall question my legions!

I walk through the ash of your kingdom I bathe in a pool of your blood I am the hunter, you are my prey, I set your bodies ablaze I trample your flags into mud; your colors shall rot in this earth. Rejoicing bloodlust as I rip the flesh of your skull Your war cries may die in your throat As the statues you worship are destined to fall

When the sun has lost its warmth, stars vanish from the sky Will they still remember my name? When a thousand winters pass, and my ashes fade to dust Will they still remember my name? When the flowers they lay on my gravestone Will blossom and wither away Will my story turn into fable? Will they still remember my name?

I open my eyes A voice calls for me My soul like the raven hunting and free They summon my sword once more From the realm of the ones who bled I gather the fallen soldiers And the battle will start again

This is war Raise the raven banner This is war Lead me to the bloodshed This is war Guide into battle This is war Raise the raven banner This is war
