Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
War calls my name, war calls my pride
Die - I will not surrender
Die - The Allfather will know my name
Never surrender, no one will remember
Your name will be lost in the past
Your heart and soul, written in blood
The dragonships sail to unknown shores, again
Sound the alarm, the northmen are here
Die - I will not surrender
Die - The Allfather will know my name
Never surrender, no one will remember
Your name will be lost in the past
Never surrender, no one will remember
Your heart and soul, written in blood
Never surrender, no one will remember
Your name will be lost in the past
Never surrender, no one will remember
Your heart and soul, written in blood
