Ashes of the Mead Hall
A deep, dark Viking metal doom song with crushing guitars, war drums, low chanting, and haunting horns. Tell of a warrior returning from battle to a homeland in ruin, his brothers vanished, with epic sorrow and hard, storytelling energy.
Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse]
In the dust of the old battlefield, I stand,
Echoes of my vanished brothers, a sad demand.
Battles won, but now they're just names on the sand,
Desolate land, no sign of their grand plan.
[Verse]
Memories of laughter, the days we shared,
Now just shadows in the fading light.
Fists clenched tight, eyes full of despair,
Promises made, but now they're just left behind.
[Pre-chorus]
Winds howl through the ruins, a mournful cry,
Leaves whisper tales of what once was high.
My heart's a battlefield, where hope and fear collide,
Lost in time, my brothers, forever goodbye.
[Chorus]
I'll walk this path alone, under the endless sky,
With memories heavy, like the weight of a sigh.
Battles won, but now they're just echoes in the wind,
Brothers lost, forever in my mind.
[Verse]
Sunset paints the sky, a crimson hue,
Casting long shadows over the barren land anew.
Promise to protect, though I'm all alone,
Determined to find a way, however I can.
[Pre-chorus]
Winds howl through the ruins, a mournful cry,
Leaves whisper tales of what once was high.
My heart's a battlefield, where hope and fear collide,
Lost in time, my brothers, forever goodbye.
[Chorus]
I'll walk this path alone, under the endless sky,
With memories heavy, like the weight of a sigh.
Battles won, but now they're just echoes in the wind,
Brothers lost, forever in my mind.
[Outro]
