44

Twenty eight rowers straining at oars
bring the drakkar out to sea
To the beat of the drum
they leave the fjord
cutting the mist with the hull

Verse 2 (Chorus)
What awaits them beyond the distant border
black cliffs will give no answer
Icy winds
and foreign lands
the drakkar cuts the wave

Verse 3
Sword and courage
shield and luck
the best trophy
is the enemy at their feet
Glory will be their best reward
the meaning of their life and final result

Verse 4
Their twenty eight on stern faces
no shadow of doubt only forward
They sing a song to the beat of the drum
the drakkar goes to the horizon

Chorus (repeat)
What awaits them beyond the distant border
black cliffs will give no answer
Icy winds
and foreign lands
the drakkar cuts the wave
