Swedish Pagans
Sabaton · The Art Of War (Re-Armed Edition) [2010]
The wise women said
Once your heart is in battle there is no coming back
Fight for Thor
And before the attack
Feel your blood starts to boiling in your veins as you charge
Hundreds fallen
As the fire inside
Is ignited by bloodshed
In berserkers from north
Could it be as was said
When the serpent be woken
Fenrir howls
Swedish Pagans marching ashore
Forged in Valhalla by the hammer of Thor
Out from Asgaard a viking ship sails
Never to turn back again
When our brothers have fought
Is where we will be proven on ground stained by blood
Standing tall
And we know if we fall
Our comrades awaits in Valhall
Odin's calling
As the fire inside
Is ignited by bloodshed
In berserkers from north
Could it be as was said
When the serpent be woken
Fenrir howls
Swedish Pagans marching ashore
Forged in Valhalla by the hammer of Thor
Out from Asgaard a viking ship sails
Never to turn back again
First to the battle
First to the feast
Destiny waiting
No retreat
Retreat
Swedish Pagans marching a shore
Forged in Valhalla by the hammer of Thor
Out from Asgaard a viking ship sails
Never to turn back again
Once your heart is in battle there is no coming back
Fight for Thor
And before the attack
Feel your blood starts to boiling in your veins as you charge
Hundreds fallen
As the fire inside
Is ignited by bloodshed
In berserkers from north
Could it be as was said
When the serpent be woken
Fenrir howls
Swedish Pagans marching ashore
Forged in Valhalla by the hammer of Thor
Out from Asgaard a viking ship sails
Never to turn back again
When our brothers have fought
Is where we will be proven on ground stained by blood
Standing tall
And we know if we fall
Our comrades awaits in Valhall
Odin's calling
As the fire inside
Is ignited by bloodshed
In berserkers from north
Could it be as was said
When the serpent be woken
Fenrir howls
Swedish Pagans marching ashore
Forged in Valhalla by the hammer of Thor
Out from Asgaard a viking ship sails
Never to turn back again
First to the battle
First to the feast
Destiny waiting
No retreat
Retreat
Swedish Pagans marching a shore
Forged in Valhalla by the hammer of Thor
Out from Asgaard a viking ship sails
Never to turn back again
