Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The warming sun returns again
And melts away the snow
The sea is freed from icy chains
Winter is letting go
[Verse 2]
Standing on the ocean side
We can hear the waves
Calling us out with tide
To sail into our fate
[Chorus]
Oden! Guide our ships
Our axes, spears and swords
Guide us through storms that whip
And in brutal war
[Verse 3]
Our ships await us by the shore
Time has come to leave
Our country, family and homes
For riches in the east
[Verse 4]
Some of us won't return
But that won't bring us down
Our fate is written in the web
Woven by the Norns
[Verse 5]
A ram is sacrificed
Across the longship's bow
And as we set our sails
A strong breeze starts to blow
[Verse 6]
It carries us out to sea
With hope of fame and pride
And glorious all will be
That with sword in hand will die
[Chorus]
Oden! Guide our ships
Our axes, spears and swords
Guide us through storms that whip
And in brutal war
[Chorus]
Oden! Guide our ships
Our axes, spears and swords
Guide us through storms that whip
And in brutal war
