By the ashes of the death An ancient power will return Lord of sorceries comes to me Bring our arms to victory Help us to redeem our kingdoms Let us claim what's our by right Thousand years have passed by now Time has come to fight and win Lost in ices of Cimmeria A lonely heart can shiver and fall Only one hero found the force To brandish steel and face the world Once he was a common tramp Born to wander, kill and flee Pride and courage brought his worth From the forest to the throne Through wild lands I've rode A thousand wars I've fought The one against the spell Is the hardest fight But not enough to tame My barbarous heart Now great Crom Hear my last prayer The Hour of the Dragon Hangs over us all Now great Crom Give me the power Make me strong As it was my father's steel Oh great Crom Hear this battlecry, Courage means living In a shattered, lost world Oh great Crom Look at this sword The blood on the steel Is the sign of my glory Through wild lands I've rode A thousand wars I've fought The one against the spell Is the hardest fight But not enough to tame My barbarous heart
