We rode the rivers of the Eastern trail, Deep in the land of the Rus'. Following the wind in our sails, And the rhythm of the oars. No shelter in this hostile land, Constantly on guard. Ready to fight and defend Our ship 'til the bitter end. We came under attack, I received a deadly wound. A spear was forced into my back Still I fought on. When I am dead, Lay me in a mound. Raise a stone for all to see Runes carved to my memory Now here I lay on the river bank A long, long way from home Life is pouring out of me Soon I will be gone. I tilt my head to the side And think of those back home I see the river rushing by Like blood runs from my wound. Here I lie on wet sand, I will not make it home. I clinch my sword in my hand, Say farewell to those I love. When I am dead, Lay me in a mound. Place my weapons by my side For the journey to Hall up high When I am dead, Lay me in a mound. Raise a stone for all to see Runes carved to my memory
@Erqĭn Məmbetdjan 🇰🇿 Q̆iat Қыят Iam from Ukraine..but I love Runes🤘💪Stay Metall...tell me about Runes in Kazakhstan....Give me the sources...⚡⚡⚡Sowulo
@@BlackDevilGamer138 yes indeed sir, I feel this way about every band that I like. Always seem to play with the most emotion in the beginning trying to be heard. As the popularity grows amongst these bands they begin to get better equipment and sound more polished but at the same time it's more standard radio if you will. To me it loses it s grit which is the very reason that I liked most of these bands to start with..
"Here I lie.. on WET SAND!! I Will NOT.. make it home!! I clench my sword... in my hand Say farewell to those I love!!" Johan is making words so powerful.
This was the first song I seen on Headbangers Ball on MTV2 years ago, that got me hooked. The next day me and my buddy both , bought that album. Been jammin Amon Amarth ever since. \m/ best Nordic metal ever . Keep up that awesome work Johan Hegg
Ok. I said before Amon Amarth was my top 5? No! I will say with an honest heart, this is my favorite band. Whenever I'm sad, lonely or angry I listen to the awesome lethality that is Amon Amarth and be it just one song or twelve, THEY MAKE ME FEEL BETTER! I really Do love you guys and all your fans. Rock on! I will always have a hand or horn raised for you and all!
The first time I ever listened to this song I was on deployment dealing with heavy shit and this song put it all in perspective. Been one of my favorite songs ever since.
Our beloved Norwegian rat Cernunnos lost his battle with pneumonia today. He was the most caring and affectionate rat of our 25+. He was the first at the door; we keep them open at all times, with love in his eyes and lots of licking and affection for myself and all. I only name my pets after Cernunnos when they are the sweetest and most loving. We raised him from birth, he was almost 2 years of age my wife held him abreast all night and day, I placed my boar’s tusk with him to give him strength, which helped him live until 12:30 PM today Eastern Standard time. He was once a giant and mighty rat, yet as gentle and affectionate. He will be missed eternally; we will give him a pyre funeral, and bury him in a mound, with a stone with runes carved to his memory on one side, and Celtic Ogham on the other. I havenae felt this way about an animal friend since my dog Murphy passed in 2002. Let the ravens carry you home to the underworld gently….. Tha gaol agam ort Cernunnos! Jeg elsker deg Cernunnos!!! Aonghus William MacCready
To those who have liked my eulogy in any way and homage to the memory of the rat Cernunnos, I thank you, Slainte' to you all, Slainte' to all of your beloved animal friends.... Aonghus
Otman Abraham lothbrok I appreciate that, everyone who has liked and commented, hes been gone for about a year now, along with several other close to my heart rats, you need a strong heart to own rats, 3 years att the very most...
So, here am I, finding this song which is almost as old as me, and after months of listening to these guys, I must say, they have always been a band born for greatness!🔥
I do not understand how this song is not a staple for live shows. I saw them back to back in April and though they were great I was certainly disappointed that they did not play this, my favourite song of theirs 😢
This song is in my will and testament for when I die and get buried on my boat it will be I might finally be able to see this van live and a bunch of other bands have been wanting to see what you have seen in 2022 hopefully they play this live hopefully it's not just the newest album which was kind of Hit or Miss cuz obviously I want to be able to afford them for my own funeral
Heroes of a noble path wherein we all become immortalized by our deeds. Never will we be forgotten. Never will we be loathed for our endeavors. Never will we become hindered, for our purpose here is to do great things. We, who seek the glory of our ages must be granted our fill. We are the way of a long line of heroes, never shall we be denied our rightful place in history. Let us always lead our way into the future, so that all men shall reap the benefits of the seeds we have sown.
The middle to end part of the song is already in the "International Metal Valhalla", because let's be honest, the "metal beyond" is Scandinavian, it has to be. When I go I want to chat and drink with Lemmy and Bon Scott drinking beer from a horn in the presence of Odin.🥰🥰🥰🥰
This may sound insane but it's a fact. Years ago while studying Odinism I discovered Amon Amarth continued my new belief as I grew older I noticed as we all do when we age there were wrinkles on my face. Across my face was a large X the Rune for G. Gifu which meaning is gift. So I began thinking what exactly did the God's gift me... The mark is still here today...

Usually I don't like death metal but this band is AWESOME! This guy has a gruff satanic sound to his voice but I can actually understand the lyrics...and the lyrics are sad. I feel so sorry for that vicking laying in the wet sand by the river bleeding to death knowing he won't be going back home this time. This song is a real tear-jerker for me.
My lord, this is brutal stuff. I am very glad I found them, great turn from all that scene shit that every 'metal' fan is going crazy for. I truly pity them, they have no idea what true metal is, my friends, this is true metal.
@Disturbed2nite You should read some of the Eddas and Sagas... Raise a stone for all to see, Runes carved to my memory. This was often done by their loved ones. I could only hope so great an act be done for me, there are so few people capable of doing it though.
@Nero1435 no they're not viking metal, they don't share any musical characteristics of the genre, just the lyrical theme. a good example of viking metal would be Enslaved or mid Bathory

50+ year old metalhead here. I rate the "With Odin on Our Side" album as a masterpiece of the Heavy Metal music genre.
Agree! Each song on this album is epic! :)
Please give today to help Fight the head spinning virus.
We rode the rivers of the Eastern trail,
Deep in the land of the Rus'.
Following the wind in our sails,
And the rhythm of the oars.
No shelter in this hostile land,
Constantly on guard.
Ready to fight and defend
Our ship 'til the bitter end.
We came under attack,
I received a deadly wound.
A spear was forced into my back
Still I fought on.
When I am dead,
Lay me in a mound.
Raise a stone for all to see
Runes carved to my memory
Now here I lay on the river bank
A long, long way from home
Life is pouring out of me
Soon I will be gone.
I tilt my head to the side
And think of those back home
I see the river rushing by
Like blood runs from my wound.
Here I lie on wet sand,
I will not make it home.
I clinch my sword in my hand,
Say farewell to those I love.
When I am dead,
Lay me in a mound.
Place my weapons by my side
For the journey to Hall up high
When I am dead,
Lay me in a mound.
Raise a stone for all to see
Runes carved to my memory
By the way this song is about a fight near river «Нева». It took place in 1240 year between russian and sweden arms on the northern part of Russia.
@@gorom9153 i do not think so, cause in 1240 swedish warriors were crusaders, so what runes? It is about earlier fights and invades.
@@gorom9153 swedes, Vikings, Goths and other Scandinavians had trade routes to Eastern Rome, Byzantium and the near east for thousands of years

The lyrics are obviously about the first viking rides in the Kievan Rus.
This song and music video changed my taste in music forever. It was my very first appreciation for death metal. For that, I am forever grateful.
Best death metal
for me it was their blood shed video.
Death metal?
@@outraged420yes it's Viking/Death Metal
same here
If this song isn't playing on my funeral, I'm not going
My favorite Amon Amarth song
The opening riff was amazing
That is what metal should sound like! I'm glad someone is doing it right!
This whole album is completely underrated.
Their early work is by far my favorite of theirs

This album came out when I was in high school, and it was love at first listen.

This song makes me cry, it's so sad.

Thats not very fuckin metal of you.
@@whikidfmj tf you mean? That’s metal as shit cuz that means she really felt the emotion and power within the song.

i just couldn't say which one was the best song on their concert, whole concert was amazing, but in that one, floor trembled under my feet.
"Here I lie.. on WET SAND!!

This music I fuond sensational band AMON AMARTH!
The first ammon ammarth I've listened to. I instantly Iiked the song and the vikings behind the instruments and microphone.
At the last month of 2021 and still it´s one of my favorite songs ever.
I remember being 15 years younger listening to this and couldn’t handle it but loved it. Now I revisit and it’s top tier metal
Ok. I said before Amon Amarth was my top 5? No! I will say with an honest heart, this is my favorite band. Whenever I'm sad, lonely or angry I listen to the awesome lethality that is Amon Amarth and be it just one song or twelve, THEY MAKE ME FEEL BETTER! I really

The windmill headbanging is impressive in the extreme. I want to do that now. :D
When they are live and they play this song it is amazing I love it
And still sounds and looks epic !
One of my favorite Amon Amarth songs.
So, here am I, finding this song which is almost as old as me, and after months of listening to these guys, I must say, they have always been a band born for greatness!🔥
This was my first Amon Amarth song and needless to say I'm still hooked 🤘🏻
I am hooked with Amon Amarth since my high school and I enjoy all of rock n roll and heavy metal, plus I am a Rus viking descendant
The purest form of Viking Metal. Epicness
240p is true metal!
I do not understand how this song is not a staple for live shows. I saw them back to back in April and though they were great I was certainly disappointed that they did not play this, my favourite song of theirs 😢
headbanging masters!!!

lol..wut?

I remember my senior year recorded this on a vhs tape and played it everyday before school.
Sad but I love this song. Brutiful

La mejor canción para seguir con la tradición vikinga
The ultimate Viking song! I pray Odin will have this playing when it is my time to join him in Valhalla.
There is literally nothing more metal than metalhead vikings.
I dunno, metalhead vegans are pretty metal. They will kill a motherfucker just to protect a cow. That's pretty metal. hahaha
Metal head gaelics?
@@fartkerson Carnivours Metalhead Hunters are more Brutal 🤘🤘🤘
Basically a definition of metal! xD
Funny how everyone cries about the 240p. I watched the video back in 2006 and it's still as amazing. (:
Reading that this comment was from 7 years ago makes me feel even older.. :D
2:00 gets me everytime
Awesome segment of the song 😁
13yrs?!? oh the nostalgia...I was in high school when I bought this album...
Song che incarna in pieno il Viking Style....incideranno Rune in mia memoria 🖤
Back when 480p was "Crisp". LOL. 240p is hard to watch now because we're spoiled. RIP the old days, runes unto my memory.
Que temazo!! Saludos desde Guatemala!
Metal Bade really needs to update the resolution of this video, 240p????!!!
The resolution was taken and put into the quality of the song.
***** That's alot of words for "You're right"
This song changed my life lol
The Kings of Viking metal . Dixi

Shot on an iPhone 1 and then filmed on a iPod mini to get the bars on all sides and the super low resolution.
this is just epic... look how their headbanging is all sync... crazyyy
I don’t follow Odin but I can’t deny this is some great metal.
It's hard to nod and smile while head banging at the same time.
This is the song I want at my funeral.
Yeah!!!
