about
This song, performed in collaboration with Louisville alt-metal favorites Skipping Stone, is a tribute to Ryan Preston, the lead vocalist of the Louisville-based Viking metal band Overthrone, who lost a battle with cancer two years ago.
lyrics
A thousand torches cross the sea to over yonder
A black guitar with which you tore nations asunder
A golden microphone to spread your voice of thunder
May it burn with you
A thousand horses bear you onward to Valhalla
The ships are sailing now far beyond the shallow
May your name on Earth forever be as hallowed
As your word is true
Sail on, fallen hero, sail on
Sail on, Viking warrior, sail on
To a land of gods and glory
To the mighty kingdom come
Sail on, sail on
A thousand barrels of the finest honey liquor
The smoke is rising, your departure’s coming quicker
May the cursed disease that made your body sicker
No more burden you
A thousand women come to mourn the fighter gone
To Odin’s kingdom for the valiant and strong
With all the fallen souls of power far beyond
What men on Earth can do
Sail on, fallen hero, sail on
Sail on, Viking warrior, sail on
To a land of gods and glory
To the mighty kingdom come
Sail on, sail on
Valiant heart, remain untamed
Warrior poet, keep thy flame
Wretched illness, we forever curse thy name
Sail on, fallen hero, sail on
Sail on, Viking warrior, sail on
Till the sea’s no longer stormy
In the bright Valhalla sun
Sail on, sail on
