Northmen draw neigh, by torches And steel they fight Blessed by Tyr Oath of the hammer, void of fear Odin's ravens guide my way To one-eyed god, our legions dedicate their blade To meet Odin where brave warriors Hail a golden fate Till then I'll rip my enemies asunder Banished to Hel is the fate for all cowards On battlefields northern dragons never yield Whilst they fight To foreign shores, cowards flee And fires roar at night By Thor's hammer it's their time to die In their heart of war my kinsmen roar, "If I must die, I'm ready!" Our weapons shred their flesh And severed limbs shall fall A glorious sight to my eyes The weaklings scream and Their women cry for mercy Fight together, uphold our creed Throw the altar into the water Slavery and bloodshed, no man goes free Many moons have passed, our iron stained by battle Greatly satisfied are we Countless lands have been torn And scorched by fire Hail the gods! For our victories! Throw the altar into the water Slavery and bloodshed, no man goes free Northern draw neigh, by torches And steel they fight Blessed by Tyr Oath of the hammer, void of fear Odin's ravens guide my way To one-eyed god, our legions dedicate their blade Hail to the spear, under one eye's mighty will All kneel, lord of spear

To the fields where the blood of men flows Lighting strikes as swords sail and heads roll Many have fallen by the strength of my blade My rage is undying and my birth-right unclaimed Battles fought, under the mighty oath Hammers high Kingdoms fall by our sword We praise the gods Through the forest, to the village, to their homes None shall stop us in pursuit of the throne Adorned in armor and blessed with a bear's rage Blood bound by the oath By bloodshed and sacrifice made Beside my brothers on a pagan crusade Standing on this newly claimed land Paved with our enemies, won by our hand Battles fought, under the mighty oath Hammers high Kingdoms fall by our sword We praise the gods To fatherland with glory and gold Longships set sail as winds blow For ages these deeds shall be told Hail to warriors, mighty and bold Kill without a conscience Such is our oath Kill without a conscience Such is our oath

As brothers we ride together Our horses pummeled by the wind My deeds shall honor my father My legend will strengthen my kin With the gods beside us In victory, our destiny is met A tale of glory unfolding A journey to never forget On a frozen warpath in the name of Winter's Wrath Strike together! Our fates are woven! Strike together! Our fates are woven! By ancient decree! Grim Nordic warriors, many lives they claim For the pagan order, with shield and axe they reign Strike together! With deadly iron! Strike together! With deadly iron! We claim victory! Across icy landscapes, as brothers we ride On the path of warfare, no fear to cloud our sight On a frozen warpath in the name of Winter's Wrath Amongst the mist, amongst the shore Whirlwind gales howl thunderously The wind has no destination The golden hall calls out to me

Heathen rage within my blood feels never ending Conquest has spread to the home of the weaklings All who stood before me died, and they grant me Glorious battle, ages will know my name War-torn, men fall Fates met in defeat With the sound of Steel comes judgement Norns weave my fate and blades carve my wounds Today my death will bring Me to Heimdall, I hear howlings behind Bifrost Ancestors call me, Bloodline of ancient pride Valkyries ride to take me to Asgard where gods reside Hail to the fallen ones We raise our call to honor thy sons Faith and glory is our right With ancient guidance we die with pride Lord of sky fortress, I approach Heimdall God of sleepless nights, hearer of leaf-fall Thousand miles and the future fills your vision I hear howlings beyond Bifrost Brothers call me from Midgard, raise pints up high In drink and feast, they honor me 'Till in battle their fate is to die Hail to the fallen ones We raise our call to honor thy sons Faith and glory is our right With ancient guidance we die with pride

We shall live forever In the hall of all-father For the blood that we've shed And the fury and fire In Valhalla My friends, I am honored To have fought by your side We shall be together When the Valkyries ride In Valhalla

I have stood upon countless bloody fields With the might of Nordic swordsmen at my side I have heard one thousand screams of death By Odin's will 'twas my fate to survive Journeys passed and many battles fought Strong and brave, with swords in hand my brothers died My longship sails across familiar waves As the sight of Fatherland fills my eyes Father to sons, tell tales of battles won Lands so far and feats of war Age to age, this tale shall be told Pillaged god and hearts black and cold By triumph of sword and shield The war-cries sound By triumph of axe and spear Victory bound By triumph on seas and plain Returneth proud Clan by clan our heroes have come home On a quest of many moons they had gone Prepare the feast and the mead so they may drink Gather round so we many wecome them with songs Father to sons, tell tales of battles won Lands so far and feats of war Age to age, this tale shall be told Pillages gold and hearts black and cold By triumph of sword and shield The war-cries sound By triumph of axe and spear Victory bound By triumph on seas and plain Returneth proud With tankards in hand We sing, the hordes rejoice Now this tale is forged in stone How we hacked their flesh and bone On a path to victory we build our legacy We will surely feast tonight And tell our deeds by fire light Of how we changed the tides of war To oaths that we have sworn Northern screams are bold and proud Let celebration shake the ground Men and women join in song And feast and drink till dawn May the ages know our might For ancient gods we slay and fight We have changed the tides of war To the oath we have sworn Hail to our brothers, for victory and might! Bring the feat, much ale we drink tonight! In celebration my clans all around me! My faithfulness has brought great wealth upon me! By triumph of sword and shield The war-cries sound By triumph of axe and spear Victory bound By triumph on seas and plain Returneth proud

In the wake of battle past mountain and plain Many lands have come and gone In a storm of blood and rage Brave warriors clashing with power of the blade In an age where iron reigns Long ships now sail at night Ancient stars be our guide Our swords are gathered for battle To crush without fear On rivers cold and deep Through mist and pale moonlight Ten ships, towards another raid In the wake of battle past mountain and plain Many lands have come and gone In a storm of blood and rage Brave warriors clashing with power of the blade In an age where iron reigns Our northern blood prevails through the night Enemies shall scream in pain And burn by flash of fire By spear and axe they'll meet their fate Boundless age of Yggdrasil Such is our strenght to win From glen to glen, great war-cries shall begin As nameless bodies rest without life Taken by Valfather For all time sentenced and forgotten Shame and defeat be thy name Denied their faith All sacrifices have been made Death has set thy spirits free I have sworn an oath to my gods For great victory At dusk we strike and conquer In the wake of battle past mountain and plain Many lands have come and gone In a storm of blood and rage Brave warriors clashing with power of the blade In an age where iron reigns The axe strikes deep Torn asunder, a warrior's bane Thy promise has kept us strong All-fathers of gods and men Onward to slaughter, carried by water Non-believers have been denied Scorched by fire End their lives with the torches in the night Northmen ravage foreign isles Far and wide by the stars in the sky Through celestial seascapes we have travelled

Ancestors call. Hear the thunder blast against the gate. Black arrows fly from atop the fortress, walls covered in flame. Pagan sons, may thee be known for bravery in war! Push forward, their line is weakening. Smash their shields to kindling. Onward inside, a tomb of ash and stone. Beyond the gate, royal guards and subjects face barbaric men in fear. They've come to receive the power and possessions kept by wealthy men. Hailed be heroes of legends and lore. Immortal skies where the black ravens soar. Of legends and lore. Black ravens soar... Courage in battle, bravery in war! Battle honors ancient Gods, far from home for death and glory. Inside, the royal chamber bleeds. Nobles litter the ground. Screams fill the fortress, a mighty and victorious sound. The sky is touched by flames, the throne room stands before them. A cowards keep, the king hides in great dishonor. Among treasure he dies. Blood runs down the throne. A royal trophy, beheaded, body set ablaze. With pagan might, brothers fight. Courage shall hold, despite deep wounds. Hail! With pagan might, brothers fight. Courage shall hold, despite deep wounds. Hail! Pride and glory, bravery in war! On this day they leave as heroes. Legends of war, homelands await their return. Hailed be heroes of legends and lore. Immortal skies where the black ravens soar. Of legends and lore. Black ravens soar...

Never safe from a tormented heart. Battered by the crushing waves. To All-Father, I pledge my sword of war. To thee, I have sworn to slay all that be. I will slay all that will be. On a voyage to outlands, glory beyond the waves. With hammers high we'll blast and hail the North. Leaving homeward shores behind. To horizons abound, our sails filled with Northern breeze. On longships we will cut across the sea. Never fearing death or the power of storms. Granted safe passage by the blessings of Njord: "No harm shall find you on your voyage across my seas". Lands divide beneath the ocean's tide. To reveal a fate much like my own... Dragons of the North will cross the sea. Upon oak and winds we ride. Distant lands now in sight. Mountain tops, forests of green. Day and night, unknown perils fly. Silent is a North man's calm. To horizons abound. Our faith is solid and true. "I will carry you to great wealth and fame," Promised great bounty by the blessings of Njord. "Vast wealth awaits you in the land across my seas." Wind fills the sail, oars pound the water. Under sun and rain's flight, glory and fame. A rewarding horizon, time will proclaim. Lands divide beneath the ocean's tide. To reveal a fate much like my own... Lands divide beneath the ocean's tide. To reveal a fate much like my own... To All-Father, I pledged my sword of war. To thee, I had sworn to slay all that be. I will slay all that will be. To claim promised glory. Bring these shores misery. Hammers high, we blast and hail the North. To honor the warlord's sign. On land with the tide, terror beyond the sea.
