[Intro Chant – Whispered, Building in Power]
ᚺᛖᚨᚱ ᛏᚺᛖ ᛞᚱᚨᚷᚩᚾ (...Hear the dragon)
ᛚᛖᚨᚦ ᛏᚺᛖ ᛒᛚᚩᚩᛞ (...Leave the b***d)
[Verse 1 – Deep Male Voice, Chant Style]
Storm is rising on the northern tide,
Iron sings where the ravens glide.
Wolves of winter howl our name,
Bound by fire, death, and flame.
OH-- AH-- HAA-- HAA!
HOH-- RAH-- HAA-- RAA!
[Chorus – Full Choral Chant, Repeated in Layers]
Skjǫldr ok Sverð! Skjǫldr ok Sverð!
(Shield and Sword! Shield and Sword!)
Til Valhallar við berjast! (...To Valhalla we f***t!)
GRUH-- YAH-- HUR-- HAAAA!
SKRA-- HAA-- VUHH-- DOOOM!
[Verse 2 – Guttural, Rhythmic]
Ash on face and bone in hand,
Fury marches across the land.
We do not flee, we do not fall,
We are the storm, we break the wall!
HEY-VO!—HAH-VO!—HEY-VO!—RAA! (...HEY-VO!—HAH-VO!—HEY-VO!—RAA!)
[Chorus – With Drums and Horns Now]
Skjǫldr ok Sverð! Skjǫldr ok Sverð!
Til Valhallar við berjast!
Rauðr er jǫrð — fjǫrg er blóð!
(...Red is earth — life is b***d!)
GRUH-- YAH-- HUR-- HAAAA!
SKRA-- HAA-- VUHH-- DOOOM!
[Bridge – Female Seeress Voice, Echoed]
The gods are watching from mist and flame,
One shall fall, none shall shame.
The serpent coils, the hammer flies,
B***d sings loud as the last one dies.
RÛÛÛ—HAAAH—KAAAA—THORRR!
[Final Chorus – All Vocals Together, Crescendo]
Skjǫldr ok Sverð! Skjǫldr ok Sverð!
Til Valhallar við berjast!
Sigr til oss — we claim the night!
(...Victory to us — we claim the night!)
