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
