1.
The snow began to fall and the leaves on the trees were red like fire Our forces marched into the mist We could see the fortress of York We prepared for our attack We'll take them by surprise They'll see the storm within our eyes The thunder rumbled from the sky Thor is with us, so prepare to die They all fell one by one The rivers of blood drenched the land I raised my axe into the sky My boots were planted deep in the sand It was a bloodbath The blood runs down my face We had the strength of the gods The ravens began to feast

The Húskarl 03:06
My hauberk is firm and my spear is sharp My helm is strong I have been paid to serve I will die to protect his life I am a húskarl, I fight to the death I fear nothing I shall defend the Jarl from his enemies Slaying them one by one I swore an oath to fight until the end If my King shall die I shall avenge his death Outnumbered and outflanked I swiftly draw my sword They are swarming fast The sky is black with incoming arrows I cut two down and then behead another Today is a glorious day to die I can see the valkyrie flying by I will fight until the end I swore an oath to defend

Our hearts burn like the shining sun Our shields have runes of the old ones The frost shimmers on the mountains The blades glimmer in the light of the moon The trees whisper secrets in the dark Our halls are warm with roaring fire The Valkyrie forever flying higher A wolf stands with an eagle above him With a roof of shields held up with spears Halls of gold and silver doors Six hundred and forty rooms Valhalla is where I belong My blade thirsts for blood The ravens fly above my head My spear stands tall in the sky The battle is over, but the war has just begun
4.
Why am I awake? Who has freed me from my prison I have slept for so long Their blood still feeds the ravens The fire glowed against the sky I have been cursed to sleep forever To fight forever Hail the day! Hail the gods! My chainmail has been broken my horn is filled with mead with spells of strength and fame A rune glows on my sword hilt And on my sword Odinn stood on a mountain Brimir's sword in his hand Runes were carved upon his shield He stood before the shining sun
