Runes To My Memory by Amon Amarth
We rode the rivers of the Eastern trail
Deep in the land of the Rus'
Following the wind in our sails
And the rhythm of the oars
No shelter in this hostile land
Constantly on guard
Ready to (1)__________ and defend
Our ship (2)____________ the bitter end
We came under attack
I received a deadly wound
A spear was forced into my back
Still I fought on
When I am dead
Lay me in a mound
Raise a stone for all to see
Runes carved to my memory
Here I lay on the river bank
A long, long way (3)________ home
Life is pouring out of me
Soon I will be gone
I tilt my (4)________ to the side
And think of those back home
I see the river rushing by
Like blood runs from my wound
Here I lie on wet sand
I will not make it home
I clinch my (5)__________ in my hand
Say farewell to (6)__________ I love
When I am dead
Lay me in a mound
Place my (7)______________ by my side
For the journey to Hall up high
When I am dead
Lay me in a mound
Raise a (8)__________ for all to see
Runes carved to my memory
To my memory

Deep in the land of the Rus'

No shelter in this hostile land
