BY THE BLOOD OF OUR FATHERS 
OUR SWORDS WILL ANNOUNCE THE DEATH OF THE GIANTS 
IN THE NIGHT OF THE THUNDERSTORM 
WE'LL BE VICTORIOUS OR OUR BLOOD 
WILL SPILL AS WE RETURN 
TO THE PLACE OF THE BEGINNING 
WERE OUR SOULS WERE BORN 

WHERE MY SPIRIT FOREVER SHALL BE WHEN I LEAVE THIS WORLD BEHIND 
POWER AND MIGHT IS IN MY SOUL, I FIGHT TILL I WILL FREEDOM FIND

FIGHT, NORTHMAN FIGHT
