Hammer
of Thor
Sail away
with the morning tide
Rolling out on the ocean wide
All hands on deck! Anchors aweigh!
Farewell,
beloved daughters!
We go out on plunders and slaughters
May the gods go with us in ancient land!
Keep a
protecting hand
over our abandoned land
while we are ravaging abroad!
They heard
the thunder from the dark skies
They saw us coming from the shore
The lightnings flashed, the wind was storming
They feared the swords, feared the hammer of Thor!
Cattle
die and kinsmen die, thyself eke soon wilt die
But fair fame will fade never, I ween for him who wins
it.
Cattle die and kinsmen die, thyself eke soon wilt die
But one thing, I ween, will wither never:
The doom over each one dead...
Wild men of
the northern kin
set the sails before the win'
They know our name on the seven seas...
We are the
dreaded vikings
We head for brand new strikings
A ship-load of warriors go ashore.
Onward!
Prevail or die!
Mighty Thor rides the sky
Strife is our trade, our deals are raw
They heard
the thunder from the dark skies
They saw us coming from the shore
The lightnings flashed, the wind was storming
They feared the swords, feared the hammer of Thor!
