Intro
Verse 1
The secrets of the wind
Are whispered to the leaves
The song of hidden creeks
In the bronzing autumn light
Verse 2
Elven dance
In the twi-i-light
The riddles of the sea
Raise a murmur to the shore
Verse 3
O, mermaid,
Answer me!
Where's now the hero
Did he stand or did he fall?
Verse 4
Rolling thunder in the distance
A heavy rain begins to pour
I welcome the chariot of Thor
The wrath of the heavens above
Verse 5
Full of pride I raise my sword
The dying sound of battle horns
The screams subside on the field
The creek I knew so long ago
Now red it foams and rolls
Chorus
I yearn for the tide
When long ships arrive
Underneath the amber sky
Wherein Odin's ravens fly
Chorus
I yearn for the tide
When long ships arrive
Underneath the amber sky
Wherein Odin's ravens fly
