Mother winter leaves our land    And opens wide the seas    The lukewarm breeze does beckon me    As it whispers through the trees       It says: Set your sails    And let me take your ship to foreign shores    Take farewell of those near you    And your land of the North!       The wild cold deep black ocean's waves    Invites my hungry heart    Cry not my love I'll return    Only death can keep us apart       Oden in the sky up high    Let the Ravens of yours fly    To guide us on our sail to foreign shores    Let your Ravens fly       The wind blows through my hair    And fills our sails with hope and pride    Caress these lines of Oak, wind    Do not throw us all aside       The wild cold deep black oceans waves    As wide as sky above    Carry us, oh, Gods of sea    Don't take us down below       Now approach the shore at dawn    All is still the light of daybreak is yet to be born    Clad in morning dew asleep    The citys walls rise before us men from the seas       Carrying cold steel at our sides    No time to lose at sunbirth we attack the city by surprise    Down the coastlines with the wind we reign    Men of the North we leave the shores in flames       Shores In Flames Shores In Flames    Shores In Flames Shores In Flames       Fire!       Tor of thunder way up high    Swing your Hammer that cracks the sky    Send the wind to fill our sails and take us home    Guide your sons, us, home       When the wind cries out my name    And time has come for me to die    Then wrap me in my cape    And lay my sword down at my side       Then place me on a ship of Oak    And let it drift with tide    Let the flames purify my soul    On its way to hall up high       Up high    Up high    Up high    Up high       Fire!
