King of the Western Seas (Ketil Flatnose)

[Verse I] From fjords of flame and northern wrath, He sailed beneath the storm god’s path, A chieftain torn from Odin’s land, With steel and fire in his hand. No crown shall bind his fearless soul, No tyrant’s rule, no king’s control, Across the sea his longships roar, Ketil Flatnose rides once more! ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Through wind and wave, the ravens cry, The gods watch from a blood-red sky— ⸻ [Chorus] Hail! The King of the Western Seas! Breaker of chains, bringer of peace, Steel and salt in his weathered hand, He carves his fate in foreign sand. Hail! The Lord of the Isles afar! His heart a forge, his will a scar, Through tempest, thunder, and endless war— Ketil Flatnose reigns once more! ⸻ [Verse II] The Hebrides burned with northern flame, They whispered dread at Ketil’s name, The wolf-banner high, the drums resound, No Saxon or Scot would stand their ground. From isle to isle his saga spread, A sea-king crowned by the restless dead, His daughter sailed to a colder shore, To build the halls of myth once more. ⸻ [Bridge – Spoken/Chanted, with drums and horns] Odin’s blood on the raging tide, Freya’s tears on the sea’s dark side, Aud the Wise bears her father’s name, In the sagas carved by flame. ⸻ [Chorus] Hail! The King of the Western Seas! Breaker of chains, bringer of peace, Steel and salt in his weathered hand, He carves his fate in foreign sand. Hail! The Lord of the Isles afar! His heart a forge, his will a scar, Through tempest, thunder, and endless war— Ketil Flatnose reigns once more! ⸻ [Outro – Epic slow section] The waves still whisper his name through the foam, A king unbound, forever to roam, The wind bears his call on the northern breeze, Ketil Flatnose—King of the Seas! (Echoed chanting: “King of the Seas… King of the Seas…”)
