Hold Back the Lightning
Ride out in midnight alone sword in hand<br/> Through wind and the rain and the sand<br/> Lightning strikes down to the road that he rides<br/> Empty cities fill his eyes<br/> Broken dreams wasting a life<br/> <br/> Lightning strikes as he rides away will he never return<br/> Lightning strikes as he walks away lonely tears fill his eyes<br/> <br/> Do you remember before times turned bad<br/> The women and children would play<br/> Then came the longships and changed all our lives<br/> For those will I ride avenge all the ones who have died<br/> <br/> Lightning strikes as he rides away will he never return<br/> Lightning strikes as he walks away lonely tears fill his eyes<br/> <br/> Out in the night they march, they fight<br/> Out in the cities of blood<br/> Wheels keep on turning day and night<br/> Forcing their way back home<br/> <br/> Ride out in midnight alone sword in hand<br/> Through wind and the rain and the sand<br/> Lightning strikes down to the road that he rides<br/> Empty cities fill his eyes<br/> Broken dreams wasting a life<br/> <br/> Lightning strikes as he rides away will he never return<br/> Lightning strikes as he walks away lonely tears fill his eyes

You win or lose but only this time<br/> Faces of death on my door<br/> I've made my mistakes and paid for it in blood<br/> You'll go the same way too if you take my road<br/> <br/> Eyes of a stranger will show you the way<br/> Living and dying's, just part of life's play<br/> Chains that trap you to an island in the sea<br/> No one there to set you free<br/> <br/> You say I'm the one to blame for it<br/> But it's too late to pick holes in another man's heart<br/> Of steel, of stone without blood or without soul<br/> You'd steal the shoes of a dead man just to make him cold<br/> <br/> Eyes of a stranger will show you the way<br/> Living and dying's, just part of life's play<br/> Chains that hold you to an island in the sea<br/> No one there to set you free<br/> <br/> If I ever see you again, I'm gonna bring you down<br/> Trapped in a cage at the bottom of the sea<br/> No one to see your face<br/> <br/> Eyes of a stranger will show you the way<br/> Living and dying's, just part of life's play<br/> Chains that drag you to my island in the sea<br/> No one there to set you free
