Exiled King Lyrics by Gatekeeper

From Western Shores

2023

[Verse 1]
Bred 'neath the Norðurljós and raised amongst bloodshed
Fled my homeland, leaving footprints of red
Bleeding the nomads on the steppes of the East
Warrior poet, the last of a dying breed

[Pre-Chorus]
I shall strive for glory
Lay down your swords before me

[Chorus]
Exiled king, vengeance I'll bring
Cutting down all who oppose me
Cleave through the unknown with thews hewn from stone
Tearing my course through history

[Post-Chorus]
Exiled king, vengeance will sing
Forging my empire of the sea
Odin guide me

[Verse 2]
To Miklagard we rode for plunder and wine
Palaces looted with rage and rapine
Carved out a fortune with the blood of my foes
To make my last stand where I once was deposed
Raiding the coastlines, our warhorns will sing
Strike fear in the hearts of bastard Saxon kings

They shall weep at my arrival
Splitting skull of every rival
Bathed in blood, encloaked in glory
Corpses heaped for all the gods to see

Look now to your coastline and tremble with dread
The sun will soon set over the mounds of your dead
Blood soaking ground claimed by its rightful lord
Your wives, your sons, and your daughters put to the sword

[Bridge]
This conspiracy to usurp me finally ends this day
All of Mercia shall bleed, bleed unto me

[Verse 3]
Clashing of steel rings through meadows stained red
Wounded, on all sides, I slog through the dead
Arrows are flying, they pierce as I slay
Through thigh and through throat, I’ll reach Valhalla this day

[Pre-Chorus]
I shall murder as I die
Howling my final battle cry

[Chorus]
Exiled king, vengeance I'll bring
Cutting down all who oppose me
Cleave through the unknown with thews hewn from stone
Tearing my course through history

[Post-Chorus]
Exiled king, vengeance will sing
I kill with valour as I die
Odin guide me home

[Outro]
Exiled king, vengeance did sing
He fought with valour as he died
Exiled king, Hardrada slain
Go now with Odin by your side
