Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The ships await us by the Birka quay
All prepared with sixty oars
They will carry us on the open sea
Heading out to glory wars
[Verse 2]
We have blothed to Aegir
To the daughters of Ran
We are willing and eager
We are leaving at dawn
[Verse 3]
Four days of good wind
Then we awoke to an ocean mirror calm
Slacking sails, we are drifting
No direction, we are drifting
[Verse 4]
Glory calls from beyond the waves
A chance for fame and rich reward
Honour waits beyond the grave
So put your back into the oar
[Verse 5]
The sun is burning, now we're lost at sea
Our rations are running low
Thirsty throats and hungry fleas
But we still got many days to go
[Verse 6]
We are crossing the ocean
Left our home in the north
The oars have set us in motion
They will carry us forth
[Verse 7]
Each man builds his own fame
Now everyone, show me what you're worth
Who recalls a coward's name?
No one remembers, who remembers
[Verse 8]
Glory calls from beyond the waves
Beckons those with a heart for war
Honour waits beyond the grave
So put your back into the oar
[Verse 9]
Row!
Row!
Row!
Row!
Row!
Row!
Row!
Row!
[Verse 10]
Row!
Row!
Row! (The oar is your best friend)
Row!
Row!
Row!
Row! (For a triumphant end)
Row!
[Verse 11]
Row!
Row!
Row! (Row for victory)
Row!
Row!
Row!
Row! (Into history)
[Verse 12]
Grab your oars
Row to glory wars
And for victory
Into history
[Verse 13]
Each man builds his own fame
Now everyone, show me what you're worth
Who recalls a coward's name?
No one remembers, who remembers
[Verse 14]
Glory calls from beyond the waves
Beckons those with a heart for war
Honour waits beyond the grave
Fear not a bloody fate
[Verse 15]
Glory calls from beyond the waves
A chance for fame and rich reward
Honour waits beyond the grave
So put your back into the oar
