The cyclops gave one of his eyes To see into the future The only vision his death, told Now one-eyed beast remains to guard the gold So, who'll take the voyage with me And dare ride the seven seas And look death right in the eye And risk it all Our ship through the stormy seas rode To a fate of terror none have ever told A cry from the highest mast, land ho! Lower down the boats, from here we row The full Moon lights up the sea To evil beyond it does lead As my might army ready to fight Hits the shore Night raiders who ride on the wings of the night Where only the brave Put one foot in the grave Night raiders who strike in the blink of an eye Through the winds and the waves Without a sound invade The monster's kingdom The sand was ridden with bones The wind echoed the dead's moan A quest only fools chose With a mighty roar the beast surprised his foes Trapped our backs to the sea Ripping our bodies with ease Blood dripping from his mouth He heads for me Night raiders who ride through the gateway to hell Lay rotting away Crushed into their graves Night raiders that die in the blink of an eye Savagely slain in Violent screams of pain He has no mercy Just out of reach of his death hold Trapped in a wall, to me his tale he told Insane by the vision his death shown Some things are better left unknown He said to me, oh, oh, my death I've seen Oh, oh, oh, a face in a dream Oh, oh, oh, you I see Oh, oh, set me free He blinks and I strike, slam my sword in his eye Feel it crush as I strain He goes reeling back in pain Past danger I fly in a dash to the sea, he screams a curse Searching for me My death will never be Night raider you'll ride forever at night Alone ride your grave Cast upon the waves Night raider, tonight be the first night of hell, see my face Remember it well For only time should tell The future
