Hvitserk - March For Battle

drum and bass. the rhythm that slaps you and drags you into the night. Acid drum... acid bass... roland tr nine hundred nine...

Verse

Longships rise from the acid tide

Oars are teeth on the water wide

Thunder rolls where the war drums hide

Roland screaming on the other side

(Thor)

Axes dripping with a howl of frost

Every warrior pays the cost

(Row)

Horns of bone and a sky of rust

Drag the living from the dust of us

(No)

Strangles Records on the longship prow

Stamp the raven, take the vow

(Now)

Turn the gain until the mountains bow

This is the drum and the bass and the how

Chorus

Row, row, into the acid sea

(Valhalla)

Raise the shield and let the bass run free

(Valhalla)

Kick the door of the old-world down

Ride the drum into a drowned-man's town

Row, row, let the serpent scream

(Valhalla)

Nothing here is ever what it seems

(Valhalla)

Cut the rope and let the current pull

Fill the longship till the moon is full

Post-Chorus

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

(Strike)

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

(Strike)

Verse

Blood on the fretboard, salt on the wire

Nine hundred nine is a funeral pyre

Shield-wall cracking like a broken snare

Berserkers with the static in their hair

(Ho)

One-eyed captain of a burning ship

Acid dripping from a frozen lip

(Row)

Strangles carved in the dragon's jaw

Every wave is a closing door

(No)

Wolf-head banner in the freezing spray

We do not kneel, we do not pray

(Now)

We only row till the timbers break

And the bassline drags us down to the wake

Chorus

Row, row, into the acid sea

(Valhalla)

Raise the shield and let the bass run free

(Valhalla)

Kick the door of the old-world down

Ride the drum into a drowned-man's town

Row, row, let the serpent scream

(Valhalla)

Nothing here is ever what it seems

(Valhalla)

Cut the rope and let the current pull

Fill the longship till the moon is full

Breakdown

Roland. Roland. Roland. Nine.

(Die)

Roland. Roland. Roland. Nine.

(Die)

Hammer the wave

(Die)

Hammer the wave

(Die)

Grave upon grave upon grave upon grave

Drop

Rrrrow

(Rrrrow)

Faster

(Faster)

Rrrrow

(Rrrrow)

Harder

(Harder)

Verse

Fjord of fire and a blackened mast

Vikings moving way too fast

Every heartbeat is a cannon blast

Nothing built on this deck will last

(Go)

Troll-head figurehead gnashing teeth

Bass so low it lives beneath

(Row)

Strangles Records on a stone of grief

Every drum is a stolen thief

(No)

Ravens circle the funeral barge

Acid rain and a hull too large

(Now)

We are the thunder, we are the charge

We are the wound that never will scar

Chorus

Row, row, into the acid sea

(Valhalla)

Raise the shield and let the bass run free

(Valhalla)

Kick the door of the old-world down

Ride the drum into a drowned-man's town

Row, row, let the serpent scream

(Valhalla)

Nothing here is ever what it seems

(Valhalla)

Cut the rope and let the current pull

Fill the longship till the moon is full

Post-Chorus

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

(Strike)

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

(Strike)
