The song is about a viking, that returns home after many years of imprisonment. During his way home, his ship is hit by a storm and sinks.
[Verse 1]
I stroke the blade with my hand
The sharp edge cuts the skin
Blood drips to the rain wet sand
My journey can begin
[Verse 2]
Once a slave but now I'm free
My honor is restored
Once again I'll ride the seas
Free at last from whip and oar
[Verse 3]
I slide the sword into the sheath
The ocean god is hailed
And as we push out to the sea
We raise the red striped sails
[Chorus 1]
I've missed the breeze of my home shores
The frozen lakes and winter snow
But now my dreams start to unfold
Father, I'm coming home
[Verse 4]
The storm came down without remorse
And water crashed the rails
The ship was thrown back and forth
As strong winds ripped the sails
[Bridge]
The icy waves embrace my skin
I am going numb
The endless ocean swallows me
This will be my cold wet tomb
[Chorus 2]
Won't feel the breeze of my home shore
Nor see the lakes or winter snow
My hopeful dreams lie ripped and torn
Father, I die alone
I die alone
