God of Vengeance

The raiders struck, a hammer of their god,

To sweep through our town, leave it all aflame

I watched my father's blood run down to the sea

And planned my revenge

As I get upon my knees

Raise my sword to hall on high

I look upon the velvet stars

And know the gods say I will die

I will pledge myself to thee

Oh, Odin one-eye, high above.

Grant me wisdom and the strength

To fight for the things that I love

For the gods

And a life of the olden ways

Odin's might

Odin's sword

Aesir fight

Be by my side

One-eyed god

Hall on high

Welcome me

I fight to die

Odin's might

Odin's sword

Aesir fight

Be by my side

Bloodied helm

Broken shield

Riding free

Valkyrie, take me

While the ice cracks and groans in pain

I look to the South and think about the day

When I will rally my crew, we will take to the waters

And blow the horns of war

When the fjords are running cold

The drakkars come around the bend

Dragonheads taste of the wind

Swords are sharpened to defend

I'll be standing on the prow

Bringing vengeance with the waves

Ravens feast upon the blood

While we lay you in your graves

You will pay

For the lives you took on that day

Odin's might

Odin's sword

Aesir fight

Be by my side

One-eyed god

Hall on high

Welcome me

I fight to die

Odin's might

Odin's sword

Aesir fight

Be by my side

Bloodied helm

Broken shield

Riding free

Valkyrie, take me

As vengeance burns deep in my eyes

In the glory of war,

A sword did strike me down

So cold on this strand, I wait for the maiden of war

To take me home

As I fall upon my knees

Turn my gaze to hall on high

Even though my sight is dim

I see Valhalla, warm and wide

Passing through these golden doors

My father reaches out his hand

To lead me to the afterlife

I earned defending my own land

"Come my son

You are brave; I am well avenged!"
