Once a bunch of Viking fighters sailed out Sailed to gain their own kingdom Sky was dark and stormy winds rose up against them Stormy rage in autumn Far out on the sea All delivered to fortune Far out within the storm Delivered to the gods' tune And they set sail towards the cold northern ocean They sat their sails towards the grey northern sea A daring venture, a faithful obsession Their boats all weak and wee (Out there in stormy seas, and all weak and wee) And they set sail towards the cold northern ocean They set their sails towards the grey northern sea A daring venture, a faithful obsession Those brave, all strong and free (Who fought brave till the end, but all strong and free) Fate decided not to drown them in sea They survived by the Norns' will Fate did steer their ships towards these unknown shores For they should prove their war skills Far out on the sea All delivered to fortune Far out within the storm Delivered to the gods' tune And they set sail towards the cold northern ocean They sat their sails towards the grey northern sea A daring venture, a faithful obsession Their boats all weak and wee (Out there in stormy seas, and all weak and wee) And they set sail towards the cold northern ocean They set their sails towards the grey northern sea A daring venture, a faithful obsession Those brave, all strong and free (Who fought brave till the end, but all strong and free) And they set sail towards the cold northern ocean They sat their sails towards the grey northern sea A daring venture, a faithful obsession Their boats all weak and wee (Out there in stormy seas, and all weak and wee) And they set sail towards the cold northern ocean They set their sails towards the grey northern sea A daring venture, a faithful obsession Those brave, all strong and free (Who fought brave till the end, but all strong and free) And they set sail towards the cold northern ocean They sat their sails towards the grey northern sea A daring venture, a faithful obsession Their boats all weak and wee (Out there in stormy seas, and all weak and wee) And they set sail towards the cold northern ocean They set their sails towards the grey northern sea A daring venture, a faithful obsession Those brave, all strong and free (Who fought brave till the end, but all strong and free)
