[Verse 1]
We cut the black sea foam
With wolf-skin on the mast
Red hair in the salt wind
Laughing at the past
The longboats bit the dusk
Like knives through frozen bone
We came for blood and silver
To make a world our own
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the oars bite deep
Hear the old gods call
If the shields hold fast
We will take it all
[Chorus]
Valhalla, call our names
Valhalla, light the flames
Red hair in the front line
We came to change the land
Valhalla, call our names
Valhalla, raise the chains
From the frost to the fire
We rise with axe in hand
(Valhalla) (Valhalla)
[Verse 2]
We found a shore of pine
And smoke on cedar hills
New land under the raven
Cold as iron wills
The fleshers in the valleys
Saw our banners rise
We took their gold and grain
Under northern skies
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the drums wake up
Hear the blood roll on
Every cracked horizon
Turns to battle song
[Chorus]
Valhalla, call our names
Valhalla, light the flames
Red hair in the front line
We came to change the land
Valhalla, call our names
Valhalla, raise the chains
From the frost to the fire
We rise with axe in hand
(Valhalla) (Valhalla)
[Bridge]
Now the maps all burn
And the sea turns red
We are ghosts of thunder
Walking where we tread
If the sky splits open
Let it hear our cry
We were born for raiding
And we never die
[Final Chorus]
Valhalla, call our names
Valhalla, light the flames
Red hair in the front line
We came to change the land
Valhalla, call our names
Valhalla, raise the chains
From the frost to the fire
We rise with axe in hand
(Valhalla) (Valhalla)
