The Cyclops gave one of his eyes
To see into the future
The only vision his death, told
Now one-eyed beast remains to guard the gold

So, who'll take the voyage with me
And dare ride the seven seas
And look death right in the eye
And risk it all

Our ship through the stormy seas rode
To a fate of terror none have ever told
A cry from the highest mast, "Land ho!"
Lower down the boats, from here we row
The full moon lights up the sea
To evil beyond it does lead
As my might army ready to fight
Hits the shore

Night raiders who ride on the wings of the night
Where only the brave
Put one foot in the grave
Night raiders who strike in the blink of an eye
Through the winds and the waves
Without a sound invade
The monster's kingdom

The sand was ridden with bones
The wind echoed the dead's moan
A quest only fools chose
With a mighty roar the beast surprised his foes
Trapped our backs to the sea
Ripping our bodies with ease
Blood dripping from his mouth
He heads for me

Night raiders who ride through the gateway to Hell
Lay rotting away
Crushed into their graves
Night raiders that die in the blink of an eye
Savagely slain in
Violent screams of pain
He has no mercy

Just out of reach of his death hold
Trapped in a wall, to me his tale he told
Insane by the vision his death shown
Some things are better left unknown
He said to me, "Oh, oh, my death I've seen
Oh, oh, oh, a face in a dream
Oh, oh, oh, you I see
Oh, oh, set me free

He blinks and I strike, slam my sword in his eye
Feel it crush as I strain
He goes reeling back in pain
Past danger I fly in a dash to the sea, he screams a curse
Searching for me
My death will never be

Night raider you'll ride forever at night
Alone ride your grave
Cast upon the waves
Night raider, tonight be the first night of Hell, see my face
For only time should tell
The future
