Its slightly different from the usual one heard around faction camps, as I put two verses together and effectively cut one out.
And my arrangement is very different to the norm.
Its about the Vikings making the Journey from Their lands to the Americas. Little else needs to be said about this one!
lyrics
We set our sails and hauled our oars,
Heading for the Gods alone know where,
In the Whales' wake we left our shores,
Heading for the Gods know where.
We steered the wind that Asgard sent,
Heading for the Gods alone know where,
The waves did rage without relent,
Heading for the Gods alone know where.
So heave me heroes, heave and haul,
Valhalla hails thee one and all.
The crash of foam crest foamed and flowed,
Heading for the Gods alone know where,
The hail and hoar frost hacked our crew,
Heading for the Gods alone know where.
The albatrosses in the sky,
Heading for the Gods alone know where,
Like Valkieries where the vanquished lie,
Heading for the Gods alone 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 the shadow shrouds obscured our star
Heading for the Gods alone know where
The mighty Midgard serpent’s tail,
Heading for the Gods alone know where,
It churned the sea up like a flail,
Heading for the Gods alone know where.
So haul me heroes, heave and haul
Valhalla hails thee one and all
We set our sails and hauled our oars,
Heading for the Gods alone know where,
In the Whales' wake we left our shores,
Heading for the Gods know where.
As if was destiny was planned
Heading for the Gods alone know where
Eventually we sighted land
Heading for the Gods alone know where
So heave me heroes, heave and haul,
Valhalla hails thee one and all.
So heave me heroes, heave and haul,
Valhalla hails thee one and all.
