Baptised In Fire And Ice Lyrics - Hammerheart - Bathory

Fire and ice 

Fire and ice 

Fire and ice 

Fire and ice 

Born a son of Nordic tribe 

Early spring morning I arrived 

When sails were set, the ships all done 

To sail with wind a waves for long 

Down foreign shores across great waters 

Many hundred miles from home 

This half a year deep frozen land 

Were I on this morning was born 

Proudly my Father took me in 

His arms and walked outside 

Where for the first time 

Light struck my newborn child 

Even though told when older 

I can almost recall the scene 

When he held me high up towards 

The most beautiful sky ever seen 

Baptised in fire and ice 

Baptised in fire and ice 

Baptised in fire and ice 

Baptised in fire and ice 

Oh, with gentle hands he did sway me 

Over the flames to strengthen and purify 

Oh, with loving words he dab me 

With springs last snow for cleansing me his child 

I grew and learned respectfully 

The earth, wind, water and the sky 

The powers that decided the weather 

And rules both the dark and light 

I heard the voices of the spirits 

Of the forest call my name 

I saw the hammer way up high 

'Cause lightning in the rain 

Watching crystal flakes 

Of falling snow on winter nights 

Uniting with the pure white flames dance 

When reaching for the sky 

Brings me back to the morning this world 

First heard my battle cry 

Gently swayed above the flames 

And cleansed with snow and ice 

Baptised in fire and ice 

Baptised in fire and ice 

Baptised in fire and ice 

Baptised in fire and ice 

Oh, having it with me 

From the first day of my life 

Oh, I always carry them within me 

The powers of fire and ice 

Now I pass unto thee 

My son what was given to me 

Baptised in fire and ice 

Baptised in fire and ice 

Baptised in fire and ice 

Baptised in fire and ice 

Oh, having it with me 

From the first day of my life 

Oh, I always carry them with me 

The powers of fire and ice
