Voyage of the Vikings – Lyrics

Verse 1
From the land of ice and snow,
Where the fierce winds always blow,
Vikings sailed with hearts so bold,
Seeking silver, slaves and gold.

Verse 2
With their axes sharp and keen,
And their longboats swift and mean,
Sailed across the open seas,
Come to plunder and to seize.

Chorus
Hear the roar the Vikings come,
Rowing fast to the beat of the drum,
To distant lands beyond the tide,
With the Norse gods by their side.

Verse 3
They first came to Lindisfarne,
And did cause the people harm,
Skalds would tell their tales with pride,
Of their heroes dignified.

Chorus

Verse 4
Runes they carved in stones so grand,
Tales of battles in this land,
Vikings sailed with eyes so keen,
Found new worlds they’d never seen.

Chorus twice
