We were the warriors of the north

Notorious and brave

We'd never lost a fight in war

We feared not the grave



The ruler of this northern court

My brother, lord, king

He always had our loyal swords

But we would feel his sting



The ageing king had no decendants

No heir to take his throne

It filled his soul with fear

Transcendent

That next in line was my first-born



The king's heart grew

Full of dark deception

Full of foul conspiracy

This was when dark days

Had their inception

And we fell to his vile deceit



Robbed of arms, robbed of pride

But he spared our lives

The fear he had of Oden's wrath

Held his vengeful knife



With hearts so cold we left our homes

Banished from our land

A life in shame, a life in grief

Until we rise again



Winters come, winters pass

Twenty wasted years

We're ageing men, our youth is gone

We will shed no tears



Winters come and winters pass

Tenty years have gone

Like a dream we fade away

Into oblivion



We are the warriors of the north

Notorious and brave

We're old but strong as before

And we don't fear the grave



From the south an army rises

They ride under cross of gold

From the shades we're called

In a time of crisis

To defend the king now weak and old



As the flames of warfare rage higher

We feel our destiny's embrace

We are ageing men of an old empire

Now we can see Valhalla's gates



We!

March again

First in line

To reach Valhalla's mighty gates



We!

March again

March to fight

To reach Valhalla's mighty

We!

March again

Give our lives

To reach Valhalla's

Mighty royal gates
