Amon Amarth - Where Is Your God?



*Before I being, I do apologize for the video. This isn't the official music video and I couldn't find a video with a a still picture that Youtube would allow me to post due to copy writes. I also apologize for being late with this post. Because of this, I'm doing a double post today. Enjoy!*

Amon Amarth, if they aren't the very definition of Viking and Heavy Metal, I don't know what is. Their heavy guitar riffs and amazing double bass sets the mood for all of their songs, often accompanied by a song, tale or morale which isn't unheard of with most foreign metal bands. "Where Is Your God" is a energetic song filled with heavy bass and drum strikes and a sick guitar riffs that will make your ears bleed gold. No other song can even come close to explaining how Amon Amarth takes the modern instruments that are used today and uses them to create tempos and outstanding note combinations.


Lyrics:

The enemy has come for you
Hear the pounding thunder hooves
There's no time to run or hide
Draw the weapon from your side

When they ride out
From morning mist
With sharp blades in mighty fists
One hundred warriors on horse
An awesome brutal force

You feel weak and scared
Fear has gripped your heart
You will soon be over run
You will soon be torn apart

Now, where is your god?
Does he hear your prayers?
Does he even care for you?
His silence speaks loud and clean

Raid is done!
See the country burn
All are gone!
Only misery remains
Raid is done!
The warriors return
All are gone!
All that's left is pain

The Vikings strike
So fast and hard
Those who run won't make it far
And those who chose to stand and fight
They have made the choice to die

The weapons tear through flesh and bone
Dying men that scream and moan
With severed limbs
To the hall of death

The battlefield is full of death
Feel the stench of rotting flesh
When the entire country burns
As the warriors return

And they came out
From morning mist
With sharp blades in mighty fists
They leave this land
All burned and scorn
Those alive will mourn

Now, where is your god?
Does he hear your prayers?
Does he even care for you?
His silence speaks loud and clean

Raid is done!
See the country burn
All are gone!
Only misery remains
Raid is done!
The warriors return
All are gone!
All that's left is pain
Raid is done
See the country burn,
Only misery remains
All are gone
Warriors return,
All that's left is pain
Where's your god?
Does he hear your prayers?
Does he even care?
Where's your god?
Does he hear your prayers?
A silence loud and clear!
