"We just wanted to try something new, experimenting with other sounds and doing a song that might be untypical for us", says singer Klaus Dirks. Mob Rules toured with the Melodic Death masters of Amon Amarth before - at the Wacken Road Show in 2003: "Every evening, when the guys came on stage, the audience was shaken completely upside down. The power and joy of playing of the band were already impressive at that time! We were always looking for challenges and considered it important to cover a current song instead of just another old metal or rock classic.“
lyrics
Raven’s Flight
As the first light touched the waves
And the ravens cawed across the bay
A mighty fleet with red white sails
Three hundred Viking ships were
On their way
War!
With thirst for blood and all-out war
A thirst that's aching through our hearts and bones
We're heading west to distant shores
To avenge our father and to win the throne
They think their God will save their skin
But all resistance will be in vain
We stare at death with crimson grins
With Odin's help we cannot fail
We hold our heads up to the sky
And know that we will never die
As long as we stand side by side
As long as we can see the ravens fly!
Ravens fly! Ravens fly!
War!
Heading to Northumbraland
Come what may we won't back down
When horns of war begin to sound
Aella's head will lose its crown
Come what may, we hold our heads
Up to the sky
And know that we will never die
As long as Odin's on our side
We hold our heads up to the sky
And know that we will never die
As long as we stand side by side
As long as we can see the ravens fly!
Ravens fly! Ravens fly!
We hold our heads up to the sky
And know that we will never die
As long as we stand side by side
As long as we can see the ravens fly!
We hold our heads up to the sky
And know that we will never die
As long as we stand side by side
As long as we can see the ravens fly!
Ravens fly! See the ravens fly!
