The storm gathers. Ravens circle. The oars strike the sea as longships rise against the blackened skies.

Lyrics:

Before the dawn, the sea is ours.
Oars bite, shields wait.
Steel thirsts, and blood will answer.
Odin sees. The raven leads.

Winds of the north, tear through the sails
Blood on the waves, fate never fails
Steel in our grip, fury in breath
We carve our path through fire and death

Rise! Rise! The longships rise!
Storms bow down as the raven flies
Rise! Rise! With burning eyes!
We sail to glory, or we die

Shields are locked, the axes fall
Spears strike fast, we hear the call
Brothers in rage, no step denied
Valhalla waits on the other side

Rise! Rise! The longships rise!
Storms bow down as the raven flies
Rise! Rise! With burning eyes!
We sail to glory, or we die

Voices rise, the night will fall
Ashes drift where heroes call
The sea grows still, the fire dies
Only the raven keeps the skies
