[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] The longship sails into the sea, Tie down the ropes, be strong with me. The wind and waves are fierce, But our jarl is fiercer than steel and spears. [Pre-Chorus] No path behind, the wake is gone, No turning back, we sail alone. [Chorus] Hey-ya-ho, raise the sail and fight, Hey-ya-ho, through the endless night. Fates may claim us, gods will call, Hey-ya-ho, we return to the hall! [Interlide] [Verse 2] When we return, let the mead horns flow, The skalds will sing of the deeds we know. Women will smile, but their hearts may lie, Only the brothers will stand nearby. [Pre-Chorus] No path behind, the wake is gone, No turning back, we sail alone. [Chorus] Hey-ya-ho, raise the sail and fight, Hey-ya-ho, through the endless night. Fates may claim us, gods will call, Hey-ya-ho, we return to the hall! [Instrumental solo] [Bridge] Think not, o viking, for alien shores, They fade behind as the ocean roars. Your sword in hand, yet your heart is free, Cleansed by the salt of the northern sea. Northern wind will caress your weary face, The waves bestow but a fleeting grace. And young once more, you shall rise and roam, When at last you return to your hall, your home. [Chorus – Extended] Hey-ya-ho, raise the sail and fight, Hey-ya-ho, through the endless night. Fates may claim us, gods will call, Hey-ya-ho, we return to the hall! [Outro] Hey-ya-ho, we return to the hall! Hey-ya-ho, we return to the hall! [Instrumental end]
