Queen of the Nile
It's an honour to die in battle
With a sword held in your hand
So tonight we drink
For the morrow we sail
To the place they call England
SKOL!
Glory awaits in the eyes of the Gods
For the warrior who fights well
And should I fall I'll return to the Hall
Where I'll live to fight again
I am a woman and a mother and wife
I am a shield maiden, warrior
I stand with the men
I hold the shield wall
At the heart of the battle
At the centre of the brawl
Strike a killing blow
Onto the next I go
The Gods are watching
And they will see
In the warriors trance
In a bloodlust dance
The Gods are watching
And they will see
Guard, defend
Delay my end
The Gods are watching
And they will see
The enemies fall
We must kill them all
The Gods are watching
And they will see
I turn my face up to the skies, and pray the gods look down
I hope they see my victory
I hope I make them proud
Our warriors will to leave this world
A place where mortals bleed
With nothing to fear but a glorious death
We break the dawn with blood and screams
The deafening sound of war and pain
Swells to silence at the end of the day
Glory awaits in the eyes of the Gods
For the warrior who fights well
And should I fall I'll return to the Hall
Where I'll live to fight again
My fate is sealed, in the hands of the Gods
And only they can know
And if they choose that I should lose
To Valhalla I will go
I look around the battlefield
So many fallen now
My people and my enemies
Together on the ground
Ohhhhh
We go home to Valhalla
With a sword held in your hand
So tonight we drink
For the morrow we sail
To the place they call England
SKOL!
Glory awaits in the eyes of the Gods
For the warrior who fights well
And should I fall I'll return to the Hall
Where I'll live to fight again
I am a woman and a mother and wife
I am a shield maiden, warrior
I stand with the men
I hold the shield wall
At the heart of the battle
At the centre of the brawl
Strike a killing blow
Onto the next I go
The Gods are watching
And they will see
In the warriors trance
In a bloodlust dance
The Gods are watching
And they will see
Guard, defend
Delay my end
The Gods are watching
And they will see
The enemies fall
We must kill them all
The Gods are watching
And they will see
I turn my face up to the skies, and pray the gods look down
I hope they see my victory
I hope I make them proud
Our warriors will to leave this world
A place where mortals bleed
With nothing to fear but a glorious death
We break the dawn with blood and screams
The deafening sound of war and pain
Swells to silence at the end of the day
Glory awaits in the eyes of the Gods
For the warrior who fights well
And should I fall I'll return to the Hall
Where I'll live to fight again
My fate is sealed, in the hands of the Gods
And only they can know
And if they choose that I should lose
To Valhalla I will go
I look around the battlefield
So many fallen now
My people and my enemies
Together on the ground
Ohhhhh
We go home to Valhalla
