We set our sails and hauled our oars,
Heading for the gods know where.
In the whales wake we left our shores,
Heading for the gods know where.
We steered the wind that asgard sent,
Heading for the gods know where.
The waves did rage without relent.
Heading for the gods know where.

Chorus:
So heave me heroes, heave and haul,
Valhalla hails thee one and all.

The crash of foam crest foamed and flow,
The hail and hoar frost hacked our crew,
The albatrosses in the sky,
Like valkyries where the vanquished lie.

No time for ond dreams of your farms,
Or dwell upon your ladies charms,
The mighty midguard serpants tail,
Did churn the sea up like a flail.

The sea turned black as boiling tar,
And the shadows shroud obscured our star,
The maggot mouths muched our hull,
As we drifted in this turgid lull.

We set our sails and hauled our oars,
In the whales wake we left our shores,
As if by destiny was planned,
Eventually we sighted land.
