The sea was calm, the sky was clear
As the sun was rising above the sails
The signs were read, the gods on our side
For glory and victory on our sea raid

So we set forth into the open sea
The wind in our sails, hope in our hearts
Oðinn n’ Thor, the almighty gods
Gave power and strength to us all on our sea raid

Short the travel, forever our glory
Where to strike, we have been told
The gold of the English will make us
Proud and merciless on our sea raid

Then one morning we saw the shores
A monastery, we set thitherto
They wouldn’t know what happened to them
Like a storm we were on our sea raid

With fury and rage we fight on the shore
Oðinn guide our swords on this raid of Lindisfarne

We turned their cross upside down
We took their gold and jewellery
We took all things worth we’d found
As rich men we would return from our sea raid

All the monks were killed or enslaved
We burned their church and buildings down
Their foreign god wasn’t there to protect
The slaying of christian souls on our sea raid

As we set sail towards our home
We praised our gods for victory
All our men, our warriors
Are proud to have been there on our sea raid

Finally we came back home
After our raid on the English shores
If there’s one thing we know for sure
We will be back again on our sea raid

With fury and rage we fight on the shore
Oðinn guide our swords on this raid of Lindisfarne
