The Winter Falls over the Land

Frozen trees covered by cold snow
The winter with its icy breath
Rules over the land
Slowly it has forced its way through summer and autumn
Slowly it has frozen the sun
Slowly it has frozen all the life
Storms roam over the land
Bringing new coldness and new snow
With them the northern people have come
Raiding and slaying the roam
Through the villages
For their ancient gods they are fighting for
The war is their only pleasure
With their axes and warhammers
They split the heads of their enemies
When a village is devastated they roam on
Screams, shields crash, bones break
They butcher all down
That stands in their way
And the winter is their only witness
Frozen illusions of peace
There will never be peace
Only war will bring the decision
With their fellboots they trudge through the snow
Their armours are heavy and their steps are deep
They are not afraid of death
They will sit with Odin
In Valhal at the table
And telling old stories
And they roam with the wind
Roam out into the icy wasteland
