[Verse 1] Longboats sailing on the briney black At mornings first light, we sound the attack We came seeking fortune, fame and glory Hard hands on oars, and blood strewn glory Salt in the beard, frost on the shield Harbor smoke rising where the weak must yield We wrote our names in iron and sky And we learned to laugh when the brave ones die [Pre-Chorus] By Odins might We do not kneel Iron in our bones And blades of steel [Chorus] By Odins might, we show no mercy (By Odins might) Pillage and burn Pillage and burn Slaughter and smite, cut them all down (Smite them down) Pillage and burn Pillage and burn [Verse 2] Black gulls turning over the broken shore Boots in the ash and a thirst for more Gold in the chest and a name in the song If the world is a hunt, then we lead it strong We battled kings with their jeweled fear We split their banners and brought them near Through rain and rage, through steel and blood We moved like a flood through fjord to the mud [Pre-Chorus] By Odins might We do not kneel Iron in our bones And blades of steel [Chorus] By Odins might, we show no mercy (By Odins might) Pillage and burn Pillage and burn Slaughter and smite, cut them all down (Smite them down) Pillage and burn Pillage and burn [Bridge] Hear that cry on the hard gray wind It calls us to where the feast begins If we fall, let the mead run red Let Valkyries ride to claim the dead [Final Chorus] By Odins might, we show no mercy (By Odins might) Pillage and burn Pillage and burn Slaughter and smite, cut them all down (Smite them down) Pillage and burn Pillage and burn By Odins might We take the night Pillage and burn Might is right
