The Great Heathen Army
[Verse 1] Here's to a life of roaming around Where there's a feast we can be found Travelling far, over sea, over land For glory and fame and a drink in our hand There's no dread in our hearts, no remorse in our soul Pillage the world for silver and gold It's the path we have chosen, the creed of our kind Standing together, leave no one behind [Chorus] Hail the dead and the goat that gives us mead On the roof she's gnawing Lärad's leaves Fills the vat with a drink that is so sweet Worthy of fame Heidrun is her name [Verse 2] This life it is not for everyone The grind of travel can wear you down Our grave may be waiting around the bend But we'll keep fighting to whatever end And when we are done roaming around There is a feast where we will be found To Valhalla! With hearts full of pride A drink in our hand and a girl on our side [Chorus] Hail the dead and the goat that gives us mead On the roof she's gnawing Lärad's leaves Fills the vat to the brim with a drink so sweet Worthy of fame Heidrun is her name Hail the dead and the goat that gives us mead On the roof top gnawing Lärad's leaves Fills the vat with a drink that's oh so sweet One and the same Heidrun is her name [Bridge] Over the ocean and over land After all the tours We have earned our seats in Oden's glorious hall Here we sit at the feast A cold drink in our horns Heidrun's the one that gives the mead to the battle worn She stands on Valhalla's roof Filling the vat with the sweetest mead She is one and the same Heidrun is her name Who's the goat? Who's the goat? Heidrun, Heidrun Who's the goat? Who's the goat? Heidrun, Heidrun Who's the goat? Who's the goat? Heidrun, Heidrun Who's the goat? Who's the goat? Heidrun, Heidrun [Chorus] Hail the dead and the goat that gives us mead On the roof she's gnawing Lärad's leaves Fills the vat with a drink that is so sweet One and the same Heidrun is her name Hail the dead and the goat that gives us mead On the roof top gnawing Lärad's leaves Fills the vat to the brim with a drink so sweet Worthy of fame Heidrun is her name [Outro] Heidrun, Heidrun Heidrun, Heidrun

[Verse 1] On the brink of all-out war Hear rattling weapons roar Howling for blood and gore A slaughter never seen before Armies gathered on this plain Before arrows start to rain Bitter feud, a hate campaign Words of truce spoken in vain [Pre-Chorus] Hail the brave! Hail the strong! Never shall you bend, and you shall never yield Let the steel sing its song Echoing across this glory battlefield [Chorus] As my spear flies above your heads Hear my battle call Soon your ranks will join the dead Oden owns you all! Now these men a world apart All with hate, wrath at heart Making war their deadly art Let the mayhem start [Pre-Chorus] Hail the strong! Hail the brave! Never shall you bend. Relentless 'til the end! Glory waits beyond the grave Over foe and friend, darkness will descend! [Chorus] As my spear flies above your head All enemies shall fall Once your ranks have joined the dead Oden owns you all! Hearts on fire, blood and steel You will die or you will kneel Death will follow, you can't hide Oden owns you, join his side [Chorus] As my spear flies above your heads Hear my battle call Soon your ranks will join the dead Oden owns you all! Over fields, over mountains, the conflict will carry on But after eons of warfare, who can tell who has won? [Outro] On the brink of all-out war Hear rattling weapons roar Howling for blood and gore A slaughter never seen before

[Verse 1] We've heard rumors of land to the West Beyond the oceans, where the sun sets Sailing across the waves, we will fly This voyage of discovery, no one has tried Loading the ships our journey begins Guided by stars, driven by wind At the end of the quest there is treasure to seek A land ripe for brave men to conquer and reap [Chorus] Under the sky We are the braves, ruling the waves No one can sway, no onе can break Under the sky There is no one, under the sun Who can withstand our force [Verse 2] On the horizon new land appears And we prepare for our imminent raid Now that we're near, we sense your fear Ringing the bell, none will come to your aid In God you trust, but you fear that he Has forsaken your land, and taken his hand From you and your kin in your dire need There's no defense, no fortresses manned [Bridge] Here were dreadful warnings over Northumbria Woefully terrified were the people Amazing sheets of lightning and whirlwinds Fiery dragons in the sky A great famine soon followed these omens Then came inroads of fearsome Heathen men Destroying the church of God on Lindesfarne Island By fierce plunder and atrocious slaughter [Chorus] Under the sky We are the braves, ruling the waves No one can sway, no one can break Under the sky There is no one, under the sun Who can withstand our force [Chorus] Under the sky We are the braves, we rule the waves No one can sway, no one can break Under the sky There is no one, under the sun Who can withstand our force

[Verse 1] Countless times I've gone to war "War" is the kenning I have earned My name is known in legend and lore Never once my luck has turned To distant foreign shores I have sailed Winning fame and gold Where lesser men before have failed I have conquered all [Chorus] Always fought the odds I have turned the tides Favoured by the Gods Fortune's on my side In battle or in fray Through storms of steel I've never backed away Skagul rides with me Forever in my blood To travel far and wide I'm favoured by the Gods Fortune's on my side No matter what the odds say I'm sure of victory I'll never back away Skagul rides with me [Verse 2] The autumn storms crash in on shore And leaves fall to the ground I will ride the waves once more To this hearth, I won't be bound To distant foreign shores I will sail And fight for fame and gold Where lesser men before have failed I will conquer all [Chorus] Always fought the odds I have turned the tides Favoured by the Gods Fortune's on my side In battle or in fray Through storms of steel I've never backed away Skagul rides with me Forever in my blood To travel far and wide I'm favoured by the Gods Fortune's on my side No matter what the odds say I'm sure of victory I'll never back away Skagul rides with me

[Verse 1] There's a crack in reality Inside there is a hidden veil I sense my fate waits for me As I descend the serpent's trail The winding path downwards leads me Through twisted trees and stinking bogs I dare not stop to look around me I'll lose myself in thickening fog [Pre-Chorus] Into darkness, I am drifting I am losing my direction [Chorus] Someone told me, keep your feet If you are to walk this way A fearless heart with a steady beat Or else you may be led astray What you look for, what you seek Is at the end of this trail You must walk with a steady beat Or else you may be led astray You will drift away [Verse 2] I see shapes of men among the trees Stuck in a place of frozen glow They're turned to stone by what they've seen A pain and fear they can't let go I spiral down towards the earth's core Where all my terrors seem to dwell Where many who have come before Stumbled, crumbled and they fell [Pre-Chorus] Into darkness, I am drifting I am losing my direction [Chorus] Someone told me, keep your feet If you are to walk this way A fearless heart with a steady beat Or else you may be led astray No return, no retreat But you will surely find your way Keep your heart at a steady beat And you will live to fight another day [Bridge] And there it is, the river Gjoll Flowing cold with tears of grief One cannot swim the river Gjoll One has to cross the golden bridge I reach the depths of Nifelhel Alone, naked, and weak Then appears the Goddess Hel Who the dead and wretched keeps But as I face my deepest fears I open up my heart And so a different path appears My ascension starts
