Darkness descends upon the quiet northern land Home of the brave and story Lead by fearless hand They gathered all on dragonships To conquer foreign shores Striking down the sovereign kings And setting down own laws No fear in their eyes No mercy in their hearts Gods of war hear my call Man or immortal rise or fall Landing in the early sunlight war cries fill the air Screaming out for gold and glory Killing those who dare Plunder, rape, decapitation act in Odins name To return in gold and honour Back to where they came Those who were left behind Valhalla welcomes you Gods of war hear my call Man or immortal rise or fall Those who were left behind Valhalla welcomes you Gods of war hear my call Man or immortal rise or fall
