Lyrics
Deep into the heart of the battle they fought,
Engaging deeply in the heart of the battle
Covered on all sides as all converged on them,
Surrounded from all directions as enemies converged
Until the four could no longer be seen
The four warriors became obscured or hidden from sight
As time passed I feared them lost,
Over time, there was a fear that the four were lost
Then slowly the armies separated, many were dead
After the separation of armies, many casualties occurred
I saw the four, each down on one knee,
The four warriors were seen kneeling
All stopped to watch and gaze upon them with a smile of victory before sending them into the ground
A pause in the battle to witness the warriors before defeating them
Then they rose together to make a final stand
The four warriors rose together for a final stand
With their last bit of strength, they raised their arms into the air
Using their last strength, they raised their arms
Pointing blood stained weapons to the sky
Pointing weapons stained with blood towards the sky
They called upon the god of war and made ready to die
Invoking the god of war, prepared for death
But Odin would not call them this day to Valhalla,
Odin did not summon them to Valhalla on that day
Instead he sent thunder and lightning to strike the ground
Instead, thunder and lightning struck the ground
Bestowing upon them the one gift every warrior lives in hope of
Gifted with the berserker rage, a coveted warrior's strength
The berserker rage!
Now empowered with intense strength
Now filled with that strength,
The power of a thousand men was bestowed upon them
The power of a thousand men was given them
Transformed into beings touched by the gods
No longer mortal they were touched by the gods
During the renewed attack, enemies fell in large numbers
This time when they took up the attack, men fell
Significant casualties in the thousands, not just tens
Not by tens, but by hundreds, by thousands
After the battle cleared, the four warriors spoke words, and the masses responded
And when the smoke did clear, the four spoke the words and the masses
The response to the warrior's prayer echoed among the people
Answered the response of the warrior's prayer
Gods of war I call you (Gods of war I call you)
Invocation to the Gods of War
My sword is by my side (my sword is by my side)
Expressing readiness for battle with the sword by the side
I seek a life of honor (I seek a life of honor)
Seeking a life characterized by honor
Free from all false pride (free from all false pride)
Desiring a life free from false pride
I will crack the whip (I will crack the whip)
Pledging to assert authority with a bold and mighty hail
With a bold, mighty hail (with a bold, mighty hail)
Asking for protection in the face of death
Cover me with death (cover me with death)
Willing to face the consequences if failure occurs
If I should ever fail (if I should ever fail)
Emphasizing the triumvirate of Glory, Majesty, and Unity
Glory (glory), majesty (majesty), unity (unity)
Hail! (Hail!) Hail! (Hail!) Hail!
Concluding with a triumphant hail to the Gods of War
