Oh my, in viking mode
we shit where we eat
we eat where we shit
Oh no, please tell the code
we like what we know
but we don't know what we like here
Please salute
salute the descendants
we're the descendants of king Canute
we're the descendants
salute the descendants of king Canute
Oh boy, from left to right
we say what we mean
we mean what we say
hey man, we give a viking fuck
we film what we see
and you buy what we film here
Please salute
salute the descendants
we're the descendants of king Canute
we're the descendants
salute the descendants of king Canute
"King Canut greets in friendship
I inform you that I will be a gracious lord and a faithfull observer of God's rights and just secular law
If anyone, ecclesiastic or layman, Dane or Englishman, is so presumptuous as to defy God's law and my royal authority or the secular laws, and he will not make amends and desist according to the direction of my bishops, I then pray, and also command, to cause the evil-doer to do right.
And if he cannot, then it is my will that he shall be destroyed in the land or driven out of the land, whether he be of high or low rank"
