Father To Son Lyrics by Bathory

Hammerheart

1990

[Refrain]
Father to son
Father to son
Father to son
From father to son
[Verse 1]
Now born my son I name thee after the sound of my hammers
Beat upon the anvil on this chilly springtime day
The hammer child of my flesh of my blood to carry on
When I have reached Odin's end of my glorious warrior's trail
[Refrain]
From father to son
From father to son
[Verse 2]
Call upon the spirits of our fathers long time gone with thunder
Ask them for truth and courage when trouble is in your way
Learn to read and understand the signs to few can clearly vision
Listen carefully to what the ravens has to say
[Chorus 1]
Oh, hear the thunder's roar
Greetings from our fathers long time gone
Tell so that no one ever will forget
What is in heart goes from father to son
[Refrain]
From father to son
From father to son
[Chorus 2]
Oh, watch the lightning strike
Feel the powers of the hammers pounding on
Take it to your heart and understand
What must live on from father to son
[Refrain]
From father to son
From father to son
[Verse 3]
Promise me my son to always cherish what is home to you
What is the truth and to defend all of your race
Never lose the values I have taught to you
Always keep your moral and ideals, do never bring your flag disgrace
[Refrain]
From father to son
From father to son
[Verse 4]
Promise me my son before my corpse is turning pale
To grab my sword hold it to the sky and call out my hail
Listen for the bronze horns, watch the lightning strike then
You know I have reached Oden's end of my warrior's trail
[Chorus 3]
Oh, my child please take heed
Through you I am granted to live on
These words more worth than you will ever know
Make them live on from father to son
[Refrain]
From father to son
From father to son
From father to son
From father to son
