Shield Brothers

The wind rages on as the lightning strikes the shore
We stand against the wrath of the mighty Vingthor
At the longship's bow we stand ready and firm
As proud sons of men, the hardships against the storm

We sail across these chaotic waters for war
To carve our names in the wood and live among the stars
Shield brothers, side by side, in bloody conflict
Fimbultyr, mighty one, May you guide us from afar

On enemy shores
Glory awaits
As the crimson pours
To seal our fate
With our swords and spears
And dented shields
We will show no fear
As brothers take the field

The raven's eye, in the sky, seeing the slaughter
The rivers run red with the blood the fathers
Sent to die in morning light as defenders
I will honor you with my blade, I, Avenger

On bloodied shores
War awaits
With the tears that pour
A family's fate
Lives torn asunder
In battle raids
By God of Thunder
We will no longer wait

A blood oath sworn by us many years ago
That pact in blood made by the sons in the fire's glow
We are shield brothers bred for this coming war
We swore vengeance as Odin hung from tree of woe

On tattered shores
Death awaits
As the children mourn
Their father's fate
Our vengeance is gained
By flame and blade
A mound of the slain
Our honor is regained
