I have seen the cruelest of deaths and I've died and come back to life Slaying my enemies with no remorse To hear their screams brings a smile to my face With sword in hand, I fight without fear Nothing weakens my heart I hear the trampling of hooves on the ground I stand prepared for war Of death I am not afraid To die in battle is my call To be in the presence of the Allfather As I see the light Coming from the sky The axes are cutting deep Into flesh My name will live on I shall drink with the great in Valhall But as long as there is a call for battle I shall continue to be victorious I stand here, on the battlefield, thousands of foes in sight Coming to fight us, to destroy our land My people, my army, outnumbered But as long as I am alive Many of them will die If they try to fight me back They will walk into a nightmare I'll slaughter them all Put them to rest Make them suffer a horrible fate They will scream as I cut through their skin And send them off to the kingdom of death We're victorious today, once again Against all odds we sent them to their deaths But many wars are yet to be fought, so I rest Until the day comes when my last battle-shout will sound As I see the light Coming from the sky The axes are cutting deep Into flesh Now I am here In the hall of fallen warriors But I can still hear the call for battle The horn of Heimdall sounding through the sky

Med sitt svärd av lågor Är han Jordens baneman Surt, den svarte stiger vid början på Ragnarök På sin tron i Muspelheim Sitter han och väntar På den dag då elden skall släcka alla liv Surt skall slåss i den sista striden Frej skall han dräpa utan nåd Med Muspelsönerna bakom sig När Jordens tid är förbi Surt skall slåss i den sista striden Segrande går han ur slagets eld Då skall slutet firas Och världarna nio sätts i brand Av gudar är han fruktad Han som kan ge död till allt Jätten som är mäktigast av alla varelser Hans hem det står i ständig brand En överjordlig hetta Bara eld kan överleva i hans Muspelheim Surt skall slåss i den sista striden Frej skall han dräpa utan nåd Med Muspelsönerna bakom sig När Jordens tid är förbi Surt skall slåss i den sista striden Segrande går han ur slagets eld Då skall slutet firas Och världarna nio sätts i brand Nu är slutet nära Surt förbereder sig Att med sitt kära svärd Bränna allt till aska Surt skall slåss i den sista striden Frej skall han dräpa utan nåd Med Muspelsönerna bakom sig När Jordens tid är förbi Surt skall slåss i den sista striden Segrande går han ur slagets eld Då skall slutet firas Och världarna nio sätts i brand

A feast to praise the glory of The Allfather and his sons Mead is served in pints and we sing Hymns of heroic conquests Telling the tales of our forefathers Of gods, battles and victory In a great hall, where songs are to be sung Merrily dancing upon the tables In the evening cold We dance, sing and fight Drinking mead as if Ragnarok Is closing in Into the night we drink We dance, sing and fight Until the sunrise It has only begun The feast goes to an end in the morning All of us have grown tired But this hall will be lit up again And we'll sing and dance by the fire Telling the tales of our forefathers Of gods, battles and victory In a great hall, where songs are to be sung Merrily dancing upon the tables In the evening cold We dance, sing and fight Drinking mead as if Ragnarok Is closing in Into the night we drink We dance, sing and fight Until the sunrise It has only begun

Accused of a crime that he did not commit The king to him said: "You are not one of us" They called him a murderer, in exile he was cast Sent out on his own, to become food for the wolves And so he wandered alone Many winter nights He has slept under the stars Darkness is his only friend And frozen to his soul Many winter moons Hopelessness fills his heart And his nights are filled with dreams Of coming home again Once he was a great warrior A hero in everyone's eyes But then he was framed Dishonored and shamed For taking the life Of another villager And so he was cast out in the winter cold But then, after some years, he turned back to his home Where his wife sat alone in the freezing night That's what he thought, as he opened the door And saw her, with his best friend and his son He could not believe his eyes They both stood paralyzed And that's when he swore to leave forever Many winter nights He has slept under the stars Darkness still his only friend And frozen to his soul His time is almost done With crushed dreams in his heart He has wandered to the edge And fallen into the sea
