Too many times has moon travelled across the sky,

Since our fathers sailed out for glory and honour,

It's time to fulfil the vow once given,

Forge your plows to swords, send the word,

Raise an army countless as stars in the sky.

All heathen hearts,

Answer the call,

God of thunder bless our swords,

Our heathen horde,

Will never fall,

We are hungry for blood, steel and war.

Filled with strength, valour, determination,

Determined to conquer the land,

There is no power,

In their weak invocation,

Puny invocations to their feeble god,

Desecrate and drown it in their blood.

All heathen hearts,

Answer the call,

God of thunder bless our swords,

Our heathen horde,

Will never fall,

We are hungry for blood, steel and war.

Ósnjallr maðr

hyggsk munu ey lifa

ef hann við víg varask

en elli gefr

honum engi frið

þótt honum geirar gefi

Row!

Storm is getting near,

Row!

I can see land ahead,

No!

Show no mercy for the weak,

Gold, land and women are ours to take so kill!

All heathen hearts,

Answer the call,

God of thunder bless our swords,

Our heathen horde,

Will never fall,

We are hungry for blood, steel and war.

English translation of Old Norse poem:

"A coward believes he will ever live,

If he keep him safe from strife:

But old age leaves him not long in peace,

Though spears may spare his life."
