The Hammer and the Raven

On the tides of war they pulled their oars, to
plunder town and city
The Norsemen in their serpent ships, with sword and spear awaiting
The conquerors of land and sea, fought for the glory and the faith
And when they fell in battle they were welcomed to the hall of the slain
(chorus)
The hammer and the raven, the glory and the gold
The hammer and the raven, the legend lives on
They flew with speed on Odin's steed to fight
for ever more
And the gods of war prepare their force for the final battle's course
The raven's mind and memory and the hammer blood and victory
Symbols in the warriors minds on the battlefield attack
(chorus)
The Thunderer ruled overhead the universal God
With the hammer and the lightning crack the heavens were secure
The conquerors' the choosers of the sacred state of blood
And the air would flow and the sun sagged low and the savagery was done
(chorus)
Odin sacrificed an eye for wisdom and endless
sight
He discovered magic runes when he hung nine days and nights
On the battlefield his honor was appealed with sacrifice
And his wisdom lived in the Viking's heart and his spirit never dies
(chorus) x3
