|
Ships were prepared |
|
Weapons and shields |
|
Sails were raised |
|
We headed out to sea |
|
Norway disappeared in the East |
|
Our journey had begun |
|
Helpful winds gave us our speed |
|
Under a warming sun |
|
Heading to the emerald land |
|
A fleet of fifty ships |
|
An army of two thousand men |
|
Led by the king |
|
On the horizon dark clouds arose |
|
Thor rode across the black clouds |
|
As the night rolled in over us |
|
We felt the wrath of the storm |
|
That night |
|
I was haunted by dreams |
|
An omen |
|
Of what was to come |
|
The serpent arose from the sea |
|
Ready to strike |
|
With hammer in hand |
|
The serpent in pain |
|
twisting in furious rage! |
|
Fought for its life |
|
The serpent escaped |
|
Thor was enraged |
|
My dreams began to fade |
|
Woke from my dreams |
|
Sword in my hand |
|
The break of dawn |
|
We were closing in |
|
On Irish land |
|
Time to attack |
|
Grabbed our shields |
|
We came ashore |
|
And saw the waiting horde |
|
The fight was short and deadly intense |
|
The Irish fought us well |
|
But as we gained the upper hand |
|
Their fighting spirit quelled |
|
Ready to strike |
|
With swords in our hands |
|
They struggled with heart |
|
The Irish fell to our wrath |
|
Fought for his life |
|
Their king escaped |
|
With fury divine |
|
King Olav threw his sword |
