The icy winter is creeping near    Dark skies above us    Biting frost is in the air    Darkness surrounds us       The cold, piercing autumn breeze    Fills the longship sail    Soon the lakes and seas will freeze    And snow will lay its veil       Many years we've been away    The oceans we have roamed    Now the north star guides us on our way    As we are headed home       The many hardships we've endured    Have brought us rich reward    Now the north star guides us home    With cargo full of gold       Many friends died on the way    Only few of us survived    But I would gladly take their place    In Oden's hall up high       Solo: Söderberg       The icy winter is creeping near    Dark skies above us    Biting frost is in the air    Darkness surrounds us       Soon the lakes and seas will freeze    Snow will lay its veil    And we will long for the summer breeze    When we can set our sails
