[Verse 1]
     Em
They bring him to the shore
    Bm
His ship is ready made
   D                 C
He will not see them anymore
Bm
Here he cannot stay
    Em
The brotherhood is gathered
      Bm
Their faces as hard as stone
D                 C
They have come to take farewell
   Bm
In silence they mourn

[Verse 2]
    Em
Our king has left our ranks
  D              Bm
A wise and noble man
   Em           G
We owe him loyalty and thanks
   D                   Bm
He ruled with a steady hand
    Em
He will be missed by all
    D                  Bm
His heart has now been stilled
  Em                  G
Tonight he'll dine in odin's hall
D                     Bm
There he'll drink his fill
[Chorus]
    Em
The ship glides gently on the waves
   Bm
As day turns into night
    D                C
One thousand burning arrows
Bm
Fill the starlit sky
    Em
Two ravens on the longship
     Bm
They spread their pitch-black wings
    D              C
And lift up to the burning sky
  Bm
A send-off for a king
[Interlude]
Em                             D
Into flames the longship burst into flames
               C
Black smoke is rising high
   Bm
To the eternal night
Em                                D
Into flames the whole world burst into flames
             C
Nothing will be the same
       Bm
Things will forever change
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
    Em
The flames are raging higher
     Bm
They gnaw at wood and flesh
D                  C
Soon the ship will break apart
    Bm
And sink into the depth
     Em
This night we drink in silence
    Bm
And when the morning breaks
    D                  C
Our king has left this world to walk
Bm
Through Valhalla's gates
