about

This track is basically about facing an enemy in a shield wall: The way most spear- and sword battles we're fought back in the days.

lyrics

SHIELD WALL (lyrics)

there is an enemy approaching and
there's nothing you can do now
their shps are blocking the horizon and
there's nothing you can do now
but sit and quietly prepare
while you listen to the wind now
there is an enemy approaching and
you start to feel alive now

when the morning turns red
and all my brothers are fed
to the point where I'm sure
that no ones asking for more
and the stench that I learned to love
the smell of piss, blood and alcohol
as we lock into the shield wall

if you play it well
you'll have stories you can tell
as the battle joy has come over you

as the balle horn saunds
the first elk riders mount
I've got my moon shaped shield
telling me I die if I yield
and the rust from the early wars
reminding me that I long for more
as we lock into the shield wall

a diabolical collision and
there's nothing you can do now
you've got a hightened sense of vision and
there's nothing you can do now
but dig your heels deep in the mud
and hope the flanks are gonna hold now
you put your weight behind the blow, man
and just try to stay alive now
