Lyrics
Victory we fought hard and prevailed
Victory achieved after a difficult battle.
Brutally we were fighting
Describing the intense nature of the fighting.
Stormy seas rolling thunder, piercing hail
Depiction of a tumultuous and harsh environment during the battle.
Battlefield lit by lightning
The battlefield illuminated by lightning.
Eagerly we filled the waves with enemies
Enemies were faced with eagerness.
Hungrily ravens cawing
Metaphorical reference to ravens as symbols of war and death.
Home shore calls
Call to return home after the battle.
We return on bloody seas
Returning home after a bloody and hard-fought battle at sea.
Twilight falls
Twilight signifies the end of the day, symbolizing darkness and difficulty.
Darkness crawling
Darkness symbolizing challenges and hardships.
So pour the beer for thirsty men
Celebrating the victory with a drink.
A drink that they have earned
Recognizing the earned reward of the victorious.
And pour a beer for those who fell
Drinking in memory of those who died in battle.
For those who did not return
Honoring the fallen who didn't return from war.
Raise your horns raise them up to the sky
Encouragement to raise drinking horns to the sky in celebration.
We will drink to glory tonight
Drinking to celebrate and honor their triumph.
Raise your horns for brave fallen friends
Raising horns in tribute to brave friends who died.
We will meet where the beer never ends

No regrets we went out to war and strife
No remorse for going to battle in defense of king and country.
To protect king and country
Honoring victory and those who sacrificed their lives for it.
