|
We were the warriors of the north |
|
Notorious and brave |
|
We'd never lost a fight in war |
|
We feared not the grave |
|
The ruler of this northern court |
|
My brother, lord, king |
|
He always had our loyal swords |
|
But we would feel his sting |
|
The ageing king had no decendants |
|
No heir to take his throne |
|
It filled his soul with fear |
|
Transcendent |
|
That next in line was my first-born |
|
The king's heart grew |
|
Full of dark deception |
|
Full of foul conspiracy |
|
This was when dark days |
|
Had their inception |
|
And we fell to his vile deceit |
|
Robbed of arms, robbed of pride |
|
But he spared our lives |
|
The fear he had of Oden's wrath |
|
Held his vengeful knife |
|
With hearts so cold we left our homes |
|
Banished from our land |
|
A life in shame, a life in grief |
|
Until we rise again |
|
Winters come, winters pass |
|
Twenty wasted years |
|
We're ageing men, our youth is gone |
|
We will shed no tears |
|
Winters come and winters pass |
|
Tenty years have gone |
|
Like a dream we fade away |
|
Into oblivion |
|
We are the warriors of the north |
|
Notorious and brave |
|
We're old but strong as before |
|
And we don't fear the grave |
|
From the south an army rises |
|
They ride under cross of gold |
|
From the shades we're called |
|
In a time of crisis |
|
To defend the king now weak and old |
|
As the flames of warfare rage higher |
|
We feel our destiny's embrace |
|
We are ageing men of an old empire |
|
Now we can see Valhalla's gates |
|
We! |
|
March again |
|
First in line |
|
To reach Valhalla's mighty gates |
|
We! |
|
March again |
|
March to fight |
|
To reach Valhalla's mighty |
|
We! |
|
March again |
|
Give our lives |
|
To reach Valhalla's |
|
Mighty royal gates |
