Translation of the song Heathen Horde artist Ensiferum
Heathen Horde
Heathen Horde
Too many times has moon travelled across the sky
Too many times has moon travelled across the sky
Since our fathers sailed out for glory and honour
Since our fathers sailed out for glory and honour
It's time to fulfil the vow once given
It's time to fulfil the vow once given
Forge your plows to swords, send the word
Forge your plows to swords, send the word
Raise an army countless as stars in the sky
Raise an army countless as stars in the sky
All heathen hearts
All heathen hearts

God of thunder bless our swords
God of thunder bless our swords
Our heathen horde

Will never fall

We are hungry for blood, steel and war
We are hungry for blood, steel and war
Filled with strength, valour, determination
Filled with strength, valour, determination
Determined to conquer the land

There is no power

In their weak invocation
In their weak invocation
Puny invocations to their feeble god

Desecrate and drown it in their blood

All heathen hearts

Ósnjallr maðr
A coward believes
Hyggsk munu ey lifa
he will ever live
Ef hann við víg varask
If he keep him safe from strife:
En elli gefr
But old age leaves him
Honum engi frið
not long in peace
þótt honum geirar gefi
Though spears may spare his life.
Row!

Storm is getting near

Row!

I can see land ahead

Show no mercy for the weak

Gold, land and women are ours to take so kill!
