The drakkar

[Verse 1 (Male)] The drakkar cuts the waves, foam flies in shreds, Axe gleams in hand, fire burns in eyes ahead. Shields form an iron wall, we rush into the raid, Monks pray in fear — we bring them death’s cold shade. [Verse 2 (Female)] My braid is stained with blood, my shield in battle gleams, Shoulder to shoulder with you through storms and granite dreams. While you sleep safe in warm and gentle dreams at night, We seize the gold and glory in the furious waves’ might! [Chorus (Both — super-catchy, shouting)] Hey-ya! Hey-ya! Vikings rise and stand! Hey-ya! Hey-ya! Sea calls us to land! Fire! Blood! Steel! Raids are our flight! Valhalla waits for heroes — we won’t die tonight! Hey-ya! Hey-ya! [(everyone shouts)] Vikings! Vikings! Hey-ya! Hey-ya! GLORY FOREVERMORE! [Verse 3 (Male)] Fjords lie behind us, the horizon beckons far, Runes on the keel shine, Odin guides our star. Thor hammers loud, the wind sings in the sails, We sail for the loot — a new battle prevails! [Verse 4 (Female)] Salt stings my lips, wind whistles in my hair, Heart beats in rhythm with the oars’ steady care. We are the wolves of the ocean, the flame in the dark night, As long as drakkars sail — we’re immortal, shining bright! [Final Chorus (Both, as powerful as possible)] Hey-ya! Hey-ya! Vikings rise and stand! Hey-ya! Hey-ya! Sea calls us to land! Fire! Blood! Steel! Raids are our flight! Valhalla waits for heroes — we won’t die tonight! Hey-ya! Hey-ya! (shout) Vikings! Vikings! HEY-YA! HEY-YA! GLORY FOREVERMORE!!!
