We set the sails and hauled our oars  heading for the gods alone know where  in the whale's wake we left our shores  heading for the gods know where.  We steered the winds that Asgard sent  heading for the gods alone know where  and the waves did rave without relent  heading for the gods know where.  So heave me heroes, heave and haul  Valhalla hails thee, one and all.  Clash of salt-crests, foamed and flew  heading for the gods alone know where  hail and hoar-frost hacked our crew  heading for the gods know where.  The Albatrosses in the sky  heading for the gods alone know where  like Valkeyries where the vanquished lie  heading for the gods know where.  So heave me heroes, heave and haul  Valhalla hails thee, one and all.  No time to dream of your fond farms  heading for the gods alone know where  nor to dwell upon your lady's charms  heading for the gods know where.  The mighty Midgard-serpent's tail  heading for the gods alone know where  did writhe, and rise up like a flail  heading for the gods know where.  So heave me heroes, heave and haul  Valhalla hails thee, one and all.  The seas turned black as boiling tar  heading for the gods alone know where  and shadow-shrouds obscured our star  heading for the gods know where.  Then maggot-mouths munched on our hull  heading for the gods alone know where  as we drifted in this lurid-lull  heading for the gods know where.  So heave me heroes, heave and haul  Valhalla hails thee, one and all.  And as if this destiny was planned  heading for the gods alone know where  eventually we sighted land  heading for the gods know where.  So heave me heroes, heave and haul  Valhalla hails thee, one and all.
