The warming sun returns again And melts away the snow The sea is freed from icy chains Winter is letting go Standing on the ocean side We can hear the waves Calling us out with tide To sail into our fate Odin! Guide our ships Our axes, spears and swords Guide us through storms that whip And in brutal war Our ships await us by the shore Time has come to leave Our country, family and homes For riches in the east Some of us wont return But that wont bring us down Our fate is written in the web Woven by the Norns A ram is sacrificed Across the longships bow And as we set our sails A strong breeze starts to blow It carries us out to sea With hope of fame and pride And glorious all will be That with sword in hand will die Odin! Guide our ships Our axes, spears and swords Guide us through storms that whip And in brutal war Odin! Guide our ships Our axes, spears and swords Guide us through storms that whip And in brutal war
