Here our soldiers stand from all around the world Waiting in a line to hear the battle cry All are gathered here, victory is near The sound will fill the hall, bringing power to us all We alone are fighting for metal that is true We own the right to live the fight, we're here for all of you Now swear the blood upon your steel will never dry Stand and fight together beneath the battle sky Brothers everywhere - raise your hands into the air We're warriors, warriors of the world Like thunder from the sky - sworn to fight and die We're warriors, warriors of the world Many stand against us, but they will never win We said we would return and here we are again To bring them all destruction, suffering and pain We are the hammer of the gods, we are thunder, wind and rain. Brothers everywhere - raise your hands into the air We're warriors, warriors of the world Like thunder from the sky - sworn to fight and die We're warriors, warriors of the world There they wait in fear with swords in feeble hands With dreams to be a king, first one should be a man I call about and charge them all with a life that is a lie And in their final hour they shall confess before they die If I should fall in battle, my brothers who fight by my side Gather my horse and weapons, tell my family how I died Until then I will be strong, I will fight for all that is real All who stand in my way will die by steel Brothers everywhere - raise your hands into the air We're warriors, warriors of the world Like thunder from the sky - sworn to fight and die We're warriors, warriors of the world

We were the warriors of the north Notorious and brave We'd never lost a fight in war We feared not the grave The ruler of this northern court My brother, lord, king He always had our loyal swords But we would feel his sting The ageing king had no descendants No heir to take his throne It filled his soul with fear, transcendent That next in line was my first-born The king's heart grew full of dark deception Full of foul conspiracy This was when dark days had their inception And we fell to his vile deceit Robbed of arms, robbed of pride But he spared our lives The fear he had of Oden's wrath Held his vengeful knife With hearts so cold we left our homes Banished from our land A life in shame, a life in grief Until we rise again Winters come, winters pass Twenty wasted years We're ageing men, our youth is gone We will shed no tears Winters come and winters pass Twenty years have gone Like a dream we fade away into oblivion We are the warriors of the north Notorious and brave We're old but strong as before And we don't fear the grave From the south an army rises They ride under cross of gold From the shades we're called in a time of crisis To defend the king Now weak and old As the flames of warfare rage higher We feel our destiny's embrace We are ageing men of an old empire Now we can see Valhalla's gates We march again First in line To reach Valhalla's mighty gates We march again March to fight To reach Valhalla's mighty... We march again Give our lives To reach Valhalla's mighty royal gates
