Father To Son Lyrics - Hammerheart - Bathory

Father to son, father to son 

Father to son, from father to son 

Now born, my son, I name thee 

After the sound of my hammer's 

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 Oden's end 

Of my glorious warrior's trail 

From father to son 

From father to son 

Call upon the spirits of our fathers 

Long time gone with thunder 

Ask them for truth and courage 

When trouble's in your way 

Learn to read and understand 

The signs to few can clearly vision 

Listen carefully to what 

The ravens has to say 

Oh, the thunder's roar 

Greetings from our fathers long time gone 

Tell so that no one ever will forget 

What's in heart goes from father to son 

From father to son 

From father to son 

Oh, watch the lightning strike 

Feel the powers of the hammer's pounding on 

Take it to your heart and understand 

What must live on from father to son 

From father to son 

From father to 

Promise me, my son, to always 

Cherish what is home to you 

You will live in 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 

From father to son 

From father to son 

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 sound of bronze horns 

Watch the lightning strike then 

You know I have reached Oden's end 

Of my warrior's trail 

Oh, my child, please take heed 

Through you I am granted to live on 

These words more worth than you'll ever know 

Make them live on from father to son 

From father to son 

From father to son 

From father to son 

From father to son
