01. Sign Of The Dragonhead

Break through the thunder night
When the lightning strikes
Fear the sign of the Dragonhead

We rush through foaming waves
Halvdan's firstborn, hail our King

Men of might
Wolf-heathens' cry

Tempting the ocean wide
Highborn Leige Lord of Northern men

Land in sight
Berserks sharpen knives

Draken, sea attack

Break through the thunder night
When the lightning strikes
Fear the sign of the Dragonhead
Our ships will ride
To the edge of the world
Thunder night
When the lightning strikes
Fear the sign of the Dragonhead
The Draken will ride
To the end of the world

Hollow serpent reddish ribs
A Dragon proud with reddened shields

Men of might
Wolf-heathens' cry

Ship's keel obeys the mast
We dash the waves and gain land fast

Land in sight
Berserks sharpen knives

Draken, sea attack

Break through the thunder night
When the lightning strikes
Fear the sign of the Dragonhead
Our ships will ride
To the edge of the world
Thunder night
When the lightning strikes
Fear the sign of the Dragonhead
The Draken will ride
To the end of the world

Tarred oar blades clash the water
Sons of Odin reach the stores
Wolf-coats of the Norse noard-warder
With bloody shields

Sign of the Dragonhead
Sign of the Dragonhead

Break through the thunder night
When the lightning strikes
Fear the sign of the Dragonhead
Our ships will ride
To the edge of the world
Thunder night
When the lightning strikes
Fear the sign of the Dragonhead
The Draken will ride
To the end of the world

Sign of the Dragonhead
The Dragonhead
The Draken will ride

Break through the thunder night
When the lightning strikes
Fear the sign of the Dragonhead
The Draken will ride

02. Across The Sea

We stand and fight
We sail tonight
Across the sea
We seek for foreign lands
It's time to strike
We sail tonight
Across the sea
We reach for ancient lands

Come, come forth
Come forth into winds strong
All men ride up
Set our sails high

An epic journey
Our ships across the sea
All crew stand up
Fly the banners high

To ancient lands
Where legends dwell
Whelming breeze
The east winds swell

We stand and fight
We sail tonight
Across the sea
We seek for foreign lands
It's time to strike
We sail tonight
Across the sea
We reach for ancient lands

Look, look forth
The Isles of Cats ahead
Norsemen stand up
Set our sails high

For victory
Our ships across the sea
A glorious quest
Fly the banners high

To ancient lands
Where legends dwell
Whelming breeze
The east winds swell

We stand and fight
We sail tonight
Across the sea
We seek for foreign lands
It's time to strike
We sail tonight
Across the sea
We reach for ancient lands

Strength on strength
Restless souls
Defy death
From coast to coast
From coast to coast

We stand and fight
We sail tonight
Across the sea
We seek for foreign lands
It's time to strike
We sail tonight
Across the sea
We reach for ancient lands

We stand and fight
We sail tonight
Across the sea
We seek for foreign lands
It's time to strike
We sail tonight
Across the sea
We reach for ancient lands

We stand and fight
We sail tonight
Across the sea
We seek for foreign lands
It's time to strike
We sail tonight
Across the sea
We reach for ancient lands

Strength on strength
Restless souls
Defy death
From coast to coast
From coast to coast

03. Like A Mountain

Can I reach you?
Far away again
Beyond the bridge
Behind the river
High and far
Like a mountain

I look up high
Before I fall
Fall asleep
I feel it like a mountain

Four marriages
Were foretold
In four dreams
I feel it like a mountain

Blow of fate
Cut into
Into the sky
Love of mine drowned at sea

Where I see you
Fearing you
I miss the stars high up
In the darkened sky

Can I reach you?
Far away again
Beyond the bridge
Behind the river
High and far
Like a mountain

I was worst
To whom I loved
Loved the most
I feel it like a mountain

Shades of green
Turn into
Into grey
Your face rise from the deep

Where I see you
Fearing you
I miss the stars high up
In the darkened sky

Can I reach you?
Far away again
Beyond the bridge
Behind the river
High and far
Like a mountain

Shimmering light
Ragged clouds
Glow in the night
Helgafell
Home of mine
I'll stay forever

Can I reach you?
Far away again
Beyond the bridge
Behind the river
High and far (far)

Can I reach you?
(Can I reach you?)
Far away again (again)
Beyond the bridge
Behind the river
High and far
Like a mountain

04. Jomsborg

Bond of brothers
Jomsborg warriors

A legendary place
A stronghold big and proud
300 ships are sailing
Into the foreign lands
Brave ocean travelers
300 sails are moving

See their men
Jomsvikings come across the Baltic Sea

Blood of brothers

Longships with Dragonheads

05. Völva

The sun will turn into black
Völva dancing
Land sinks into the sea
I have seen it

Stars once shining bright
Vanished from the sky
At the life-giving ash
Fire rages forth
High flames at heaven

I see beyond time
Enter the other side (Völva)
Beyond the aeons (Völva)
The end of all time

(High flames at heaven)
(Beyond the aeons)

There is a storm age to come
Völva speaking
A wolf age ere mankind's doom
I foresee it

Brother's battle call
Sons of sisters fall
Await the age of the swords
Fire rages on
High flames at heaven

I see beyond time
Enter the other side (Völva)
Beyond the aeons (Völva)
The end of all time

(High flames at heaven)
(Beyond the aeons)

Hear the howls of hellhound
Hear the echoes loudly
See the future through my eyes
Lore, I know in plenty

As the fetters start to burst
And the wolf is running free
Foreseen is the mighty doom
Of triumphant gods

I see beyond time
Enter the other side (Völva)
Beyond the aeons (Völva)
The end of all time

(High flames at heaven)
(Beyond the aeons)
Beyond the aeons
The end of all time (Völva)
See beyond time (Völva)
Enter the other side

(High flames at heaven)
(Beyond the aeons)

06. Riders On The WInd

Call of the sea
We hail to our gods
Men of North
We're leaving from the shores

No storm is too wild
No ocean too deep
We are the riders
Riders on the wind

Land of fjords
The home of our hearts
Came and pride
Raid and plunder overseas

No land is too far
No wall is too big
We are the riders
Riders on the wind

Riders on the wind
(Riders on the wind)
(Riders on the wind)
Riders on the wind
(Riders on the wind)
(Riders on the wind)

Call to arms
We fear no enemies
Valhalla
Our fallen heroes feast

No storm is too wild
No ocean too deep
We are the riders
Riders on the wind

Axe and sword
Our weapons shining bright
Spears and shield
Pagans come for you tonight

No coast is too far
No wave is too big
We are the riders
Riders on the wind

Riders on the wind
(Riders on the wind)
(Riders on the wind)
Riders on the wind
(Riders on the wind)
(Riders on the wind)

(Three Norns behold us)
(The weavers of fate)
(Sisters of Nafri)
(The father of the night)

Riders on the wind

Three Norns behold us
The weavers of fate
Sisters of Nafri
The father of the night

Riders on the wind

Call of the sea
We hail to our gods
Men of North
We're leaving from the shores

Land of fjords
The home of our hearts
Came and pride
Raid and plunder overseas

Riders on the wind

07. Fairer Than The Sun

She sees a second time
Earth from sea shall rise
She sees water cascades
The eagle in the sky

Where the gods will meet
Meet again
On the ever green plain
The Earth reborn another time
See them, mountain sides

Unsown fields will grow up
All sorrow will be lifted
Gods in the ruins
Of the Nailer's wall

She sees a wall standing fairer
Than the sun
Bedecked with gold leeward of
The fire

She sees divine brothers return
Would you know more?
She sees the soothsaying wood
Would you know more?

Two sons of two brothers
Will dwell in the wide
Wide winds domain
From dark mountains below
Soars the dim dragon again

Unsown fields will grow up
All sorrow will be lifted
Gods in the ruins
Of the Nailer's wall

She sees a wall standing fairer
Than the sun
Bedecked with gold leeward of
The fire
Hall fairer than the sun
Bedecked with gold leeward of
The fire

(Would you know more?)
(Would you know more?)
(Or not?)

She sees a wall standing fairer
Than the sun
Bedecked with gold leeward of
The fire
Hall fairer than the sun
Bedecked with gold leeward of
The fire

08. Shadows In The Night

Tale dreadful
A murdered father and a king
(And a king)
Deep snake pit
Aella decided Ragnar's fate
(Ragnar's fate)

In the epoch of insanity
In the times of agony
Lo, raise your swords
And hail the army of pagans

Realms fall
Realms fall to dust

Forever and ever
I see you in misty light
Shadows in the night
Forever and ever
Your legend will stay alive
Shadows in the night
Night
(Shadows in the night)

Mysterious
A fearsome warlord at the shores
Ivar, the boneless
And his brothers call for war
(Call for war)

In the epoch of cruelty
In the times of dishonesty
No mercy or defeat
Great army of heathens

Realms fall
Realms fall to dust

Forever and ever
I see you in misty light
Shadows in the night
Forever and ever
Your legend will stay alive
Shadows in the night
Night
Shadows in the night

Dark is the call of gods
Blood is the price they want
Blessed are the warriors
Avenge the fallen king

Swords of the Northern men
Carve of the blood eagle
Blessed are the warriors
Vengeance of the brave

Forever and ever
I see you in misty light
Shadows in the night

Forever and ever
I see you in misty light
Shadows in the night
Forever and ever
Your legend will stay alive
Shadows in the night

In the night

10. Fires In The North

(Hoo)
(Hoo)
(Hoo)
(Hoo)

Once more
Sail set up high
We are heading far
Another time

Strong mast
White-flashing ice
Hard the winds blow
Into our eyes

We're coming (hey)
Seeking (hey)
Conquering everywhere

(Against the gale)
(We sail)
And if the world goes down
(Side by side)
(We stand)
We stand as one

Icy winds
Call of the wild sea
Towards far
Unknown shores
Hearts burning
Feel our flame eternal
The fires in the North

Now our time has come
To rise up high
Fires in the North
We are riders on the storm

Wave on wave
We make our way
Breaking through
Night and day

North star (hey)
Our guide (hey)
Led by the gods
Hails our pride

(Against the gale)
(We sail)
And if the world goes down
(Side by side)
(We stand)
We stand as one

Icy winds
Call of the wild sea
Towards far
Unknown shores
Hearts burning
Feel our flame eternal
The fires in the North

Now our time has come
To rise up high

Thunder roars
As the sea is raging
Lightning strikes
Black waves are crushing
Dragonheads
Face a hail of arrows
Bursting wood
Flaming steel in shadows

Fires in the North
We are riders on the storm
Fire in the North
We are riders on the storm

(Hoo)
(Hoo)
(Hoo)
(Hoo)

(Fire)
Now our time has come
To rise up high

Our journey
(Make our way)
Fires in the North
(Breaking through night and day)
Our flame
(Make our way)
Fires in the North
(The fires in the North)

Icy winds
Call of the wild sea
Towards far
Unknown shores
Hearts burning
Feel our flame eternal
The fires in the North

Icy winds
Call of the wild sea
Towards far
Unknown shores
Hearts burning
Feel our flame eternal
The fires in the North

11. Waves Of Euphoria

See my face in the wind and snow
Ice cold waters, breezes blow
See my face in the wind and snow
Ice cold waters, breezes blow

Like a wild, wild dream
Is the story of a king
In the waves of euphoria

Eastwards to the foreign land
We march together (man by man)
King of Norway, years of fate
Legend of the Varangian Guard

See my face in the wind and snow
Ice cold waters, breezes blow
Banned out of the father's land
In exile, he'll regain his fame

See my face in the wind and snow
Ice cold waters, breezes blow

Like a wild, wild dream
With no more fears
In the waves of euphoria

Like a wild, wild dream
With blood and tears
In the waves of euphoria

Westwards to the Isles of Cats
Proud oarmen with gilden head
Landing at the river trees
Gaining fame and victory

See my face in the wind and snow
Ice cold waters, breezes blow

Like a wild, wild dream
With no more fears
In the waves of euphoria

Like a wild, wild dream
With blood and tears
In the waves of euphoria

In the waves of euphoria
Waves of euphoria

Claim crown and the throne by war
No more fears
In waves of euphoria
With blood and tears

Claim crown and the throne by war
No more fears
In waves of euphoria
With blood and tears

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)

Fly like an eagle
Into crimson sky
Twilight of the old gods
Hear the battle cry
(Yeah)

Rivals for the English throne
Rising on the battlefield
Times of glory and defeat
Brother's battle at Stamford's Bridge

See my face in the wind and snow
Ice cold waters, breezes blow

Like a wild, wild dream
With no more fears
In the waves of euphoria

Like a wild, wild dream
With blood and tears
In the waves of euphoria

In the waves of euphoria
Waves of euphoria

Glory and defeat

Waves of euphoria
