Legend of a Banished Man Lyrics
Run for your lives, death has arrived
Try save your soul, run from the sound of rowing oars
Out of the mist
Breaks a dragon ship
Even more feared
Than the nail-ship "Naglfar"
A bear-coated man stands in the bow
Cold-eyed he gazes towards the shoer
The dragon's head is grim and red
All covered with blood, a gift to the mighty Gods
Warshields are raised, the Gods are praised
The people stare paralyzed with fear
The legend tells of a man that fell
From grace of his baptised king
As a banished man he fled his land
But solemnly sworn to return with holy war
But no one knows how the legend goes
'Cause no ones survived
That's gazed into his eyes
'Cause no one's returned that's met his fire
They say wolf-skinned men follow him
Berserks whose eyes burn with flames of ice
Some say mighty Thor
Guides their blades in war
They say they cannot be killed
Nor can their blood be spilled
So run for your lives
Death has arrived
The legend has come
To take the lives of the deceitful ones
Run for your lives
The death ship's arrived
There's no way you'll live
To tell of meeting his fire
Try save your soul, run from the sound of rowing oars
Breaks a dragon ship
Even more feared
Than the nail-ship "Naglfar"
Cold-eyed he gazes towards the shoer
The dragon's head is grim and red
All covered with blood, a gift to the mighty Gods
The people stare paralyzed with fear
From grace of his baptised king
As a banished man he fled his land
But solemnly sworn to return with holy war
'Cause no ones survived
That's gazed into his eyes
'Cause no one's returned that's met his fire
Berserks whose eyes burn with flames of ice
Guides their blades in war
They say they cannot be killed
Nor can their blood be spilled
Death has arrived
The legend has come
To take the lives of the deceitful ones
The death ship's arrived
There's no way you'll live
To tell of meeting his fire

It sounds like a variation of the Christian story of Lucifer, although there is definitely mixings of Norse Mythology in there.
seems more along the lines of a man who refused to convert to christianity as his king did, and was banished because of it
"The legend tells of a man that fell From grace of his baptised king"
so he swore to come back for the sake of his gods and cleanse the land
Dornentanz: That's accurate in my eyes!
And "the deceitful ones" refers to those who put their faith in a christian god. All-in-all an epic fucken song!
