Urd, Werdandi, Skuld foretold A battle, blooded and mighty For the strongest should survive In the clashing of halberds Victory should depend on forged metal On swords, hammers and axes Battleships proudly set sails And clash on the open see Bloodlust should strengthen men's rage Weakness will be their fate Warriors swear oaths to their gods Longing for protection and will Listen to the Norns, they know For they see what noone ever saw The allwise ravens circle over battlefields To tell their oneeyed master That plains are drowned in blood That the rivers are dried up Forests inhale the fading souls Of brave warriors, fallen in battle Territories lost and regained The scepter rules over the hordes And when a northern fullmoon arises The Norns' dark whispers sound: " Strong Thou And Thy Men Shalt Be, To Shelter What's Been Thy For Centuries. And Each Drop Of Blood Thou Spillest, Shalt Stand For Each Dominion Thou Defendest ! "
