Arson - Amon Amarth

They came riding at first sight

Fifty men armed to the teeth.

The sounds of horns called us to fight

We went to meet them on the battlefield.

Outnumbered yet we fought

But soon we were defeated.

We took refuge in our house

But our grief has just begun.

They came to the house, we did not let them

We defended with a spear and a bow.

We got them one by one

while the autumn sun warms the day.

It was twenty dead on each side

When we first felt something burning.

We heard them laughing outside

and anger was in the words of their ridicule.

They set fire to houses

To smoke us.

Only five of us were still alive

And nowadays exhausted.

Raging fire surrounded us everywhere.

Our house was besieged.

Wrecking and burning wall vaults

There was no way to break free.

When we were about to die

We swore a sacred oath

The place should be called if someone survives

And we sealed the oath in blood.

The roof collapsed and cleared the way.

The path of the fire.

It was agreed that in the beginning I will go.

And everything was done to escape.

Suddenly the walls collapsed

I got in a fire trap remained inside.

My best friend died that day.

But I survived.
