Written by multi-instrumentalist Quorthon, “Bond of Blood” talks about a family who is waiting for the return of their Viking warriors.
The Vikings are traveling in the open sea for a long time and, always heading north, they hope to be able to return home from their loved ones.
Father who art in the sky
Hold thy hand above me
Mighty is the raging waves
On which I ride
Mother who awaits me ashore
Let your golden hair down
It will shine and guide me
Through the raging storm
Heading north after long a journey
We have sailed for so very long
Heavy seas endless sky above us
Heading north going home
[Guitar Solo - Quorthon]
Brother who fell in foreign land
Blessed thy soul a warriors
Living on through your sword
Now in my hand
Sister who for my return sings
Shed no more tears for my well
I can hear your voice clear now
In the wind
Heading north after long a journey
We have sailed for so very long
Heavy seas endless sky above us
Heading north going home
[Guitar Solo - Quorthon]
Heading north after long a journey
We have sailed for so very long
Heavy seas endless sky above us
Heading north going home
Heading north after long a journey
We have sailed for so very long
Heavy seas endless sky above us
Heading north going home
Heading north after long a journey
We have sailed for so very long
Heavy seas endless sky above us
Heading north going home
