On a Sea of Blood Lyrics

Drifting alone upon the dragon ship
Eerily still, no winds that tear or whip
Silence deafens, the sea is mirror calm
Blood runs like the water from my palm

I'm standing by myself
Abiding
Just me and no one else
No hiding

Horizon crumbles under flaming skies
A shadow screams from thunderclouds up high
Nidhogg comes in winds of burning flames
Cast down war and endless pain

It's coming, brace myself
I'm ready
It's coming, no escape
Stand steady

Out on this bloody sea I'll face my destiny
Lost in a dreadful dream I'll meet my fate
Out on this blood sea, this is my prophecy
A notion of what's to be, there's no escape

The dragon sweeps down with a roar
Sky and ocean shake
It tears up waves of blood and gore
The longship nearly breaks

Passing just above my head
A stench of putrid death
Rotting flesh of thousands dead
Dwells upon its breath

I turn around, face myself
Yet it isn't I
With fear and rage, I run me through
As I watch me die (watch me die)

Out on this bloody sea, I'll face my destiny
Lost in a dreadful dream, I'll meet my fate
Out on this bloody sea, this is my prophecy
A notion of what's to be, there's no escape

Get ready, stand steady

It's coming, brace myself
Abiding
It's coming, certain death
No hiding

What is the Meaning of On a Sea of Blood?

Ahoy there, metalheads! Ever wonder what it's like to sail the Norseman’s way on a river of hemoglobin? Amon Amarth's lyrical voyage takes you through a tempest of mythical symbolism and existential dread. Picture yourself all alone on a dragon ship—like Uber, but with more flames. You're set for an epic showdown: you vs. a legendary beast, personified as Nidhogg, while contemplating life's merry fatalism. Fight your fears, even if it means literally stabbing your doppelgänger. Embrace the chaos as you stand resolute amid a red ocean of cascading doom, screaming, "Bring it on!"—while attempting not to spill your Viking ale. It's a hardcore prophecy wrapped in blood and thunder, reminding us that destiny is unavoidable, much like those stubborn pants that never fit after holiday feasts. Get ready, prepare to rock hard, and remember—there’s no hiding when the sea itself becomes your bloody battleground.
