Viking Summer
Sailing, sailing, my hand upon the prow
Sailing, sailing, my helm upon my brow
Landing, landing, we row the ship to shore
Landing, landing, and now we go to war
Fighting, fighting, here we kill and die
Fighting, fighting, I hear the Ravens cry
Plunder, plunder, we carry all we can
Plunder, plunder, we sacrifice to Ran
Rowing, rowing, heading North and West
Rowing, rowing, sea steeds on the crest
Feasting, feasting, kith and kin in hall
Feasting, feasting, heil the land wights all
Althing, Althing, to the Thing we wend
Althing, Althing, to politics we tend
Heil, heil, we sing a toast to Thorr
Heil, heil, before we go to war
