lyrics

Arise
The Norsemen arise from the distant shores for glory and for gold
To the battle
Fighting foreign wars to crush their foes and raze ‘em to the ground
Set off
With animosity heading out to overrun the untamed land
Ardor
They cross the line of the river Danaper - into the enemy lands


Bridge:
Ruled over Kiev and Novgorod
As they demanded Constantinople

Chorus:
No army stopped their raids
Blazed a trail through ancient lands
In todays foraged Russian plains
They built princedoms with their native hands
And with pride in their hearts
Crying battle calls to capture foreign lands
Byzantium heard them roar
In Miklagard they sealed their fate


Combat
As they attacked Constantinople – war and bloodshed everywhere
Miklagard
Forced to fight in Miklagard - Byzantiums heart - no mercy will be granted
Frontline
Warriors break through the enemy lines to end the slaughtering
Hard-pushed
They lose the war through their own fault – ending their ascendancy


Bridge

Chorus


Avarice
Blinded by greed they fight on an on - walking straight into the trap
Hail Tyr
The god of war leaves them behind abandoning their fate
Downfall
Varangians show no mercy - the path they choose until their downfall
Retreat
Byzantium strike down the hordes - sealing their defeat


Bridge

Chorus

Outro:
Sail to the horizon - will you ever gonna reach your shores again?
Stand for Odin's glory - all attempts of conquest were in vain
Steel meets steel - Norsemen swords against Byzantine scimitars
Their destiny is sealed - Valhalla won’t await them
