As the first light touched the waves And the ravens cawed across the bay A mighty fleet with red white sails Three hundred viking ships were on their way War! With thirst for blood and all-out war A thirst that's aching through our hearts and bones We're heading west to distant shores To avenge our father and to win the throne They think their god will save their skin But all resistance will be in vain We stare at death with crimson grins With Odin's help we cannot fail We hold our heads up to the sky And know that we will never die As long as we stand side by side As long as we can see the ravens fly Ravens fly! Ravens fly! War! Heading to Northumbraland Come what may, we won't back down When horns of war begin to sound Aella's head will lose its crown Come what may, we hold our heads up to the sky And know that we will never die As long as Odin's on our side We hold our heads up to the sky And know that we will never die As long as we stand side by side As long as we can see the ravens fly Ravens fly! Ravens fly! We hold our heads up to the sky And know that we will never die As long as we stand side by side As long as we can see the ravens fly We hold our heads up to the sky And know that we will never die As long as we stand side by side As long as we can see the ravens fly Ravens fly! See the ravens fly!
