About crushed rock terrible roaring waves
And with white foam churning run back ,
But the hard gray cliffs,
Will endure the pressure of standing above the sea .
From the rocks of the stone at us, Vikings bone
From that sea waves in the blood we went ore ,
A thought secrets from fog,
We were born in the sea , the sea will die
Damask swords , arrows are sharp in the Vikings ,
They cause the death of an enemy without a miss ,
Brave people of midnight ,
One of their great god , sullen sea.
