My chieftain faðir said to me
My son, you must be strong
The world is yours, where're you are
It's there that you belong
For a Viking cannot be afraid
To take and claim his fill
Is the strength within his will
Now we sail from the Northland
On the Whale-road to the mainland
We will fly like the raven
Into battle at our liking
And the systirs tell the story
Of the Vikings and their glory
We will sail to the shore
We will prevail, we are Vikings
The Viking promise I have made
The world is cold, the world is hard
The weak man falls and groans
I have come to rid this wretched land
For the gods above demand it
They say that they must die
Now we sail from the Northland
On the Whale-road to the mainland
We will fly like the raven
Into battle at our liking
And the systirs tell the story
Of the Vikings and their glory
We will sail to the shore
We will prevail, we are Vikings
Do not let your love of God outweigh your love for me
Do not let the whale-road to drown you in the sea
Now they sail from the Northland
On the Whale-road to the mainland
They will fly like the raven
Into battle at their liking
And the systirs tell the story
Of the Vikings and their glory
They will sail to the shore
They will prevail, they are Vikings
Secundum magnum misericordiam tuam
Et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum
Grant these poor man pardon
They may storm these walls
But they can't storm Heaven
Now we sail to the Northland
On the Whale-road from the mainland
We will fly like the raven
Into battle at our liking
And the systirs tell the story
Of the Vikings and their glory
We will sail to the shore
We will prevail, we are Vikings!
