I have been on viking cruises, taking what they wouldn't give Sacrifice to Njord the master of the waves on which I live
Now I found a king to follow, now I serve the Forked Beard Sven the son of Harald Bluetooth, King of Denmark knows and feared
To England – our dragons had to ride To help the beaten Aethelred – the Picts we must fight
And many – a hero died that day I raged with bloodlust and I cut their lives away
And so we beat them on a field of gore and bone But there is a price to pay, the English should have known
Aethelred, oh Aethelred – your kingdom now is gone The king of Denmark takes your crown, oh you should have known
The northern sea he rules, Denmark and England he unites The norsemen rule the waves and king Sven holds all the might The Forked Beard he rules and like the devil we will fight We rule the waves. Fear the vikings pride
Hey, hey – we are ruling the waves...
We burn the churches and the cross The serpents of the crucified, their lives are at a loss
Sven prays to Odin and to Thor The power of the ancient gods who dwelt here long before
And so we hunt those who have burnt the oak trees down The heathen roots run deep the ancient gods are still around
Crucified, oh crucified, you should have known Your time has not yet come and so we burn your houses down
The northern sea he rules, Denmark and England he unites The norsemen rule the waves and king Sven holds all the might The Forked Beard he rules and like the devil we will fight We rule the waves. Fear the vikings pride
