Story Behind The Song

Well simply put, LUNARIUM was working on some material, and at rehersal, our drummer said... We need a Norse Sailing song... So.. Here it is. It is currently being played on 99.7 the blitz in columbus, OH and several internet and podcast radio stations. This song was also slated to apear on Baremetal Records, "Rock the Troops" compilation CD.

Song Description

Sea Dragons, is the hook name for a Norse Longboat. The first person perspective of the song presents itself to listeners as a Viking who realizes his end, yet still musters the strength to sing of his victorys and rouse his shipmates.

Lyrics

I stand upon the rolling prow
salt spray on my face
?Gods of the sea, bless our journey!?
as the oars pull them to plunder
The years have been kind
and the Gods been gracious
riches for the thegn are many
and few have gone to Odin

Through the depths of the storm
Surtur?s fire blows the ship
the sails of Ragnar, son of Sturl
are nowhere to be seen
An evil glow on the horizon
appears like a funeral pyre
The whisper of a dead man?s soul
only sound on the frozen air

They stare at us as Naglfar passes
the dead crew of th?infernal ship
It strikes like steel through my heart
they have another purpose
There is a battle on Vigrid?s Plain
Where the Gods will die
and this ship made of dead men?s nails
carries the trickster there

Only now do I realize, when Loki passes by
this is the end for me
We will wander with our crew, ?til the worlds burn
Sailing to doom in dragons of the sea
