Warriors of the North
We were the warriors of the northNotorious and braveWe'd never lost a fight in warWe feared not the grave
The ruler of this northern courtMy brother, lord, kingHe always had our loyal swordsBut we would feel his sting
The ageing king had no descendantsNo heir to take his throneIt filled his soul with fearTranscendentThat next in line was my first-born
The king's heart grewFull of dark deceptionFull of foul conspiracyThis was when dark daysHad their inceptionAnd we fell to his vile deceit
Robbed of arms, robbed of prideBut he spared our livesThe fear he had of Oden's wrathHeld his vengeful knife
With hearts so cold we left our homesBanished from our landA life in shame, a life in griefUntil we rise again
Winters come, winters passTwenty wasted yearsWe're ageing men, our youth is goneWe will shed no tears
Winters come and winters passTwenty years have goneLike a dream we fade awayInto oblivion
We are the warriors of the northNotorious and braveWe're old but strong as beforeAnd we don't fear the grave
From the south an army risesThey ride under cross of goldFrom the shades we're calledIn a time of crisisTo defend the king now weak and old
As the flames of warfare rage higherWe feel our destiny's embraceWe are ageing men of an old empireNow we can see Valhalla's gates
We!March againFirst in lineTo reach Valhalla's mighty gates
We!March againMarch to fightTo reach Valhalla's mightyWe!March againGive our livesTo reach Valhalla'sMighty royal gates
