The seasons changed
The sea is clear
The time to raid has come
We will fight
Until the geld
Or until the battle is won

The streets run red
With blood and bone
Crushed humanity
I become
One with the bearskin
I adorn

Skulls are splitting
Hearts are bleeding
Still I fight on
Till the Valkyries
Ride away with me
Homesick for the grave

With sword and shield
And beating drum
We mount a vicious attack
Fear in their eyes
And crosses adorned
They mean nothing to me
For a burial mound
I was born
Soon Odin will call me home
Soul unwavering, crushing my foes
I'll kill my way to the king
I call out to him
Take my blood, or give up your throne.

The king
Locks eyes with me
I swing my axe

I swing a mighty blow
It glances off his shield
His blade bites into my back...

I know now
My battle is done
A fight spent not in vain
Deaths frozen touch
Crushes my lungs
But my smile eases my pain

The streets run red
With blood and bone
Crushed humanity
I become
One with the bearskin
I adorn

Skulls are splitting
Hearts are bleeding
Still I fight on
Till the Valkyries
Ride away with me
Homesick for the grave
