My sleep is broken by the deafening sound of thunder Black clouds have dimmed the light, drowning the ship in darkness There's no time to change the course This may be the end of our journey The wrath of the Gods cloaks the night sky The waves grip the hull The ship's being dragged to the storm This is a trial from our Gods We have to prove our worth Haul down the sail, row against this gale Until we skin our hands row or die! We won't be swallowed by the sea Fighting, struggling, trying to survive We won't be swallowed by the sea We will earn our right to enter Valhal My blood turns to ice when I see the vortex The ship is heading to certain death, the maelstrom The mast breaks down, sails rip apart, we'll not survive All our victories, engulfed by the whirl, all was for nothing Torn wood and twisted ropes will become my eternal grave Ran unfolds her net I will be swallowed by the sea Swearing, cursing a fate worse than death I will be swallowed by the sea Drowning, lungs filling with water Feeling my life fading away
