I stood where the black sea touches stone
A young wolf trapped in fields of snow
The village slept beneath old skies
But fire was waking in my eyes
Every wave cried "leave this shore"
Every raven screamed for more
No blade grows sharp in silent lands
No fate is written by resting hands
Ohh... the gods were calling through the tide
Ohh... no fearless heart was made to hide
Beyond the shore! Beyond the storm!
We are the fire the north has formed!
Raise the oars! Let thunder guide!
A warrior lives where fears collide!
Hey! Hey! Valhalla waits!
For souls who break their iron chains!
The sea may take the weak away-
But brave hearts carve eternal names!
The longship danced through claws of rain
Salt and hunger carved my pain
Strange horizons burned my eyes
Endless oceans, endless nights
The freezing winds became his skin
The roaring storm awoke within
Each scar became a sacred sign
Steel is born through fire and time
I left my home to face the wild
The sea returned a warrior child
Beyond the dark! Beyond the waves!
The fearless heart no longer breaks!
Northern sky and crashing tide-
The storm itself now lives inside!
Hey! Hey! Hear Odin's cry!
No eagle learns beneath still skies!
The cold unknown became my throne-
The endless sea became my home!
Lightning split the midnight sky...
Gods above and depths below...
I stood alone against the wrath
No turning back... no safer path
The storm did not destroy my soul
It burned away the fear I owned
To stay untouched... is to stay weak...
The brave become what others seek...
Beyond the world! Beyond the fear!
I hear Valhalla drawing near!
From frozen shore to endless flame-
I am no longer who I became!
Hey! Hey! Let oceans roar!
A warrior's soul was born for more!
No chains remain beneath these skies-
The north wind taught my heart to rise!
Beyond the shore... beyond the night...
The raven flies toward endless light...
I sail where fearless spirits roam...
The unknown is my only home...
