The Call of our Forefathers

Feel the raging winds of the sea

And the cold embrace of the storm

Towards unknown shores we sail

The call of our forefathers echoes from up high

Longships adorned with dragonheads

Proudly set out from the shores

The mighty ocean we defy

Our contempt for death unequalled

Navigating by the stars

To find new land

Where our journey ends

Only destiny’s goddesses know

The waves grow stronger

Throw our ships against the rocks

The ocean has led us to unknown shores

Brothers we lost to Aegirs wrath

We have found new land

Where trees stand tall

Snow-covered mountains

Stretch farther than eyes can reach

We have lost our ships but not our hope

As long as Njord’s winds blow steady

We sing a hymn to Mother Nature

She, the mother of all that is fair

Ever green stands the Ash

Never will it wither

He who would honour his forefather

Must grasp the sword of old

The call of our forefathers echoes from up high!

From the valleys deep to the peaks of the mountains!
