Verse 1
Cold iron sky, blackened sea,
Odin’s eye is watching me,
Wave and wind, our banner flies,
Raven screams across the skies.
We carve our names in storm and flame,
No gods we fear, no mortal chain,
Steel sings loud, the drums call war,
Tonight we sail for Valhalla’s shore.
Chorus
Hail! Hail! Hear the shields resound,
Thor’s own thunder in the ground,
Blood and honor, oath and fire,
Northmen rise, we never tire!
Hail! Hail! Let the battle cry,
Shake the earth, split the sky,
By axe and oath, by sea and flame,
We die with glory, not with shame.
Verse 2
Frostbit halls and burning towns,
Gold and steel in crimson crowns,
Longships cut the serpent’s path,
Through the storm, through Odin’s wrath.
Our fathers fought, our sons will stand,
Bone and blade in foreign land,
The sagas write our final breath,
Songs of war, not songs of death.
Chorus
Hail! Hail! Hear the shields resound,
Thor’s own thunder in the ground,
Blood and honor, oath and fire,
Northmen rise, we never tire!
Hail! Hail! Let the battle cry,
Shake the earth, split the sky,
By axe and oath, by sea and flame,
We die with glory, not with shame.
Bridge
Drums of war, hearts of stone,
We fear no god, we fear no throne,
If we fall, we fall as kings,
On raven wings our spirit sings.
Final Chorus
Hail! Hail! Let the north wind roar,
We are wolves, not men of lore,
Steel and storm, our sacred sign,
Born of ice and battle wine.
Hail! Hail! Remember our name,
Written in blood, sealed in flame,
From frozen shore to heaven’s gate,
We meet the gods. We meet our fate.
