Mindstate74

The sky grows dark, the wind turns cold
The gods are testing men of old
Hold the oars, hold the line
This night may be our final time

We sailed at dawn with Odin's blessing
Now the waves rise, dark and pressing
The dragon's head cuts through the foam
But will we ever see our home?
The sail tears loose, the mast is bending
Thunder roars, the storm's unending
Water crashes over bow
Brothers, we must hold her now

When the sea turns black
And the sky falls down
When the gods demand
Who will stand their ground?
Row! Row! Through the thunder!
Row! Row! Don't go under!
We are Vikings, we don't break
We'll survive for honor's sake

Njord is angry, Ran is calling
Men are praying, some are falling
But we grip the wood with frozen hands
We'll reach the shore or die like men
The helmsman screams above the gale
"Hold fast! Don't let this ship set sail
To the bottom where the drowned men lie
We fight until we see the sky!"

In the deep, the dead are waiting
Ran's cold fingers, calculating
Who will join her hall below?
Not us, not tonight, no

Odin, give us strength
Thor, hold back the waves
Njord, guide our keel
Freya, let us live to fight again

The youngest warrior grips the rail
His face is white, his courage pale
An older hand upon his shoulder:
"Fear is normal, but we're bolder
Than the storm that tries to take us
We're the men the gods can't break us"

When the sea turns black
And the sky falls down
When the gods demand
We will stand our ground!
Row! Row! Through the lightning!
Row! Row! Keep on fighting!
We are Vikings, born of ice
We don't die without a price!

And when the dawn breaks through the clouds
And we see land, we scream out loud
We survived what killed weaker men
We'll sail these waters once again
The storm was fierce, the night was long
But here we stand, alive and strong
The sea tried hard to drag us down
But Vikings never, never drown

We made it through...
The gods were watching...
We earned our lives tonight...
We are still here...
