Warm tears stream down my face
My father sends me on my way
My heart now filled with woe
Against my will, I must go
Many tales I've heard of death
I dread the thought of my last breath
A maiden's touch I have yet to feel
Passed down was my father's steel
Heave! Ho!
We sing now as we row
Heave! Ho!
To unknown lands we'll go
Embarking out across the sea
Mother cries her goodbyes to me
Hope shattered, I cannot flee
This battle laid in front of me
Set sails!
No return until we've won
My life of conquest has just begun
Black paint smeared across my face
War horns cause my heart to race
Sword trembles in my hand
Shields rise as we hold our stand
Heave! Ho!
We sing now as we row
Heave! Ho!
To unknown lands we'll go
Cold sweat chills me to the bone
Many pass to be set in stone
War cries echo through the air
I feel the enemies' hateful glare
Set sails!
No return until we've won
My life of conquest has just begun
