Deaf Forever

Stone face dog (Hey), swirling fog (Hey)

Gates open on the dark, dark night

Standing stone (Hey), skull and bone (Hey)

Dead witness to an unseen fight

Beat the drum (Hey), beat the drum (Hey)

Beat forever on the endless march

Stricken dumb (Hey), cut and run (Hey)

Someone's screaming and the sky is dark

Sword and shield

Bone and steel

Rictus grin

Deaf forever to the battle's din

Deaf forever to the battle's din, hey

March or croak (Hey), flame and smoke (Hey)

Burn forever in eternal pain

Charge and fall (Hey), bugle call (Hey)

Bone splinter in the driving rain

Horses scream (Hey), Viking dream (Hey)

Drowned heroes in a lake of blood

Armoured fist (Hey), severed wrist (Hey)

Broken spears in a sea of mud

Sword and shield

Bone and steel

Rictus grin

Deaf forever to the battle's din

Deaf forever to the battle's din, hey

Deaf forever

Stone dead forever

Mother Earth (Hey), Mother Earth (Hey)

Enfold you in her cold embrace

Sinking down (Hey), killing ground (Hey)

Worm crawling on your cold white face

Win or lose (Hey), naught to choose (Hey)

All men are equal when their memory fades

No-one knows (Hey), friends or foes (Hey)

If Valhalla lies beyond the grave

Sword and shield

Bone and steel

Rictus grin

Deaf forever to the battle's din

Deaf forever to the battle's din

Deaf forever to the battle's din

Deaf forever to the battle's din, hey

Hey, hey
