Upon the Dneiper and the Volga
Across the Icy Sea
The Northman howl and cry out
And sing a melody
Long ways away from the homeland
Upon the sturdy boats
These sailors of the northern lands
Traverse the river routes
Without compass or map to guide them
They row like men at war
These Scandinavian pagans
Storm fast upon the shore
Born and bred for battle
They let loose a berserkers roar
Soldiers of Valhalla
Sons of Odin and Thor
Varangians, Vikings, Northmen
The names the matter not
For they all lie in their tombs now, sleeping in the rot
Europe's greatest bandits upon the land or sea
These warriors of Asgard
A romantic legacy.
