A Song For All Ravens Metal Fans

[Npane171]

I thought I'd share this link to a Heavy Metal - "Cry of the Black Birds" - a song which is so serendipitous given the circumstances today. Just read the lyrics and listen to the song (if you like metal). I wish someone would use this song to a montage of us tearing down some other teams, hopefully after today's victory someone will use it. Anyways, here it is:

Raise your swords up high
See the black birds fly
Let them hear your rage
Show no fear

Attack!

Charge your horses across the fields
Together we ride into destiny
Have no fear of death when it's your time
Oden will bring us home when we die

The ground trembles under us as we make our thunder charge
The pounding hooves strikes blinding fear into their hearts
Our helmets shine in the sun as we near their wall of shields
Some of them turn and run when they hear our frenzied screams

Draw your swords to strike
Hear the black birds cry
Let them feel your hate
Show no fear

Charge your horses across the fields
Together we ride into destiny
Have no fear of death when it's your time
Oden will bring us home when we die

The enemies are in disarray ride them down as they run
Send them to their violent graves, don't spare anyone
Dead and wounded lie all around see the pain in their eyes
Over the field an eerie sound, as we hear the[b] raven's[/b] cry

Yep, strangely relevant lyrics. Power metal/viking metal bands tend to have the image of the Raven in a lot of their songs. Not a fan of Amon Amarth but that Seven Nation Army sure gets old fast. Bum, bum bum bum bum bum, bum. I really don't see how that gets anyone pumped for anything.

Haha. I laughed at that "bum bum bum bum..." part. So true!

Viking metal bands especially. Ravens are the birds of Odin.
