The raiders struck, a hammer of their god, To sweep through our town, leave it all aflame I watched my father's blood run down to the sea And planned my revenge
As I get upon my knees Raise my sword to hall on high I look upon the velvet stars And know the gods say I will die
I will pledge myself to thee Oh, Odin one-eye, high above. Grant me wisdom and the strength To fight for the things that I love For the gods And a life of the olden ways
Odin's might Odin's sword Aesir fight Be by my side
One-eyed god Hall on high Welcome me I fight to die
Odin's might Odin's sword Aesir fight Be by my side
Bloodied helm Broken shield Riding free Valkyrie, take me
While the ice cracks and groans in pain I look to the South and think about the day When I will rally my crew, we will take to the waters And blow the horns of war
When the fjords are running cold The drakkars come around the bend Dragonheads taste of the wind Swords are sharpened to defend
I'll be standing on the prow Bringing vengeance with the waves Ravens feast upon the blood While we lay you in your graves
You will pay For the lives you took on that day
Odin's might Odin's sword Aesir fight Be by my side
One-eyed god Hall on high Welcome me I fight to die
Odin's might Odin's sword Aesir fight Be by my side
Bloodied helm Broken shield Riding free Valkyrie, take me
As vengeance burns deep in my eyes In the glory of war, A sword did strike me down So cold on this strand, I wait for the maiden of war To take me home
As I fall upon my knees Turn my gaze to hall on high Even though my sight is dim I see Valhalla, warm and wide
Passing through these golden doors My father reaches out his hand To lead me to the afterlife I earned defending my own land "Come my son You are brave; I am well avenged!"Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
