Leaves' Eyes - "War Of Kings" (video)

From the ice cold Northern sea
"Serpent" spreads fierce misery

Into fraternal war

Troops of the Norsemen's king
Declining peace and great dominion
Blood for the English Throne

Now bear the banner
To the enemy's front line
The Storm of weapons
Has begun

Skulls will shatter by swords
WAR OF KINGS
Never kneel and hide
WAR OF KINGS
Stand tall side by side
WAR OF KINGS
In hild's bloody field
WAR OF KINGS
Warking's calling
Heads up high

Should our king in battle fall
Sons will take revenge to all

Thy death is very near

Path of dead men through the deep fen
The crow will feed
The witch wife's steed

Thy corpse I will fear

Now bear the banner
To the enemy's front line
The Storm of weapons
Has begun

Skulls will shatter by swords

WAR OF KINGS
Never kneel and hide
WAR OF KINGS
Stand tall side by side
WAR OF KINGS
In hild's bloody field
WAR OF KINGS
Warking's calling
Heads up high

War of kings
In battle storm
We seek no lee

Of kings
No skulking head
No bending knee

War of kings
In battle storm
We seek no lee

Of kings
No skulking head
No bending knee

WAR OF KINGS
Never kneel and hide
WAR OF KINGS
Stand tall side by side
WAR OF KINGS
In hild's bloody field
WAR OF KINGS
Behind the hollow shield

WAR OF KINGS
Never kneel and hide
WAR OF KINGS
Warking's calling
Heads up high

Ο τελευταίος Βίκινγκ. The Last Viking. Αυτός είναι ο τίτλος του νέου δισκογραφικού πονήματος των Leaves' Eyes που κυκλοφόρησε προ ημερών. Το στιχουργικό περιεχόμενου του album σύμφωνα με την μπάντα:

«England in the year 1066. The decisive battle near Stamford Bridge. Warriors fighting death, the grounds soaked in blood. Norway’s king Harald III, called Hardrada ("the hard ruler") lies dying. His whole life flashes before his eyes: cruel wars, fights over power, journeys to exotic worlds guiding to powerful women, emperors and kings falling into ruin. The last Viking King is dead - the Vikings’ age is over. Long live the Vikings.»

Το έδαφος προετοίμασε το single (και το αντίστοιχο βίντεο) του τραγουδιού "Dark Love Empress". Σειρά για παρουσίαση παίρνει το βίντεο του μουσικού κομματιού "Chain Of The Golden Horn"...
