Wake early if you want another man’s life or land No prize for the lazy wolf, no battles won in bed Never before in history has such a terror appeared As this we have now suffered at the hands of the Heathen Sword age, wind age, wolves’ age, No longer is there mercy among men Even the burden-bearing frame of men, Places neck under yoke in dearest love It was not thought possible, that such an inroad from sea could be made The Pagans from the northern regions, Came with naval force to conquer Like stinging hornets, spread on all sides, As fearful wolves, robbed, tore and slaughtered Then the lord said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth Upon all the inhabitants of the land, ‘tis the beginning of greater tribulation Or else the sins of the inhabitants have called it upon themselves Truly it has not happened by chance, you, who are left, stand mindfully Fight bravely, defend thy camp of God, no assurance is there for the churches of man If St. Cuthbert, with so great a number of saints, defends not his own It gladdens me to know that Odin makes ready the benches for a banquet Soon we shall be drinking ale from the curved horns The champion who comes into Valhalla does not lament his death I shall not enter his hall with words of fear upon my lips The Aesir will welcome me, Death comes without lamenting Eager am I to depart, The Valkyries summon me home I laugh as I die…..I laugh as you die…The Sea Wolves Com’eth Woe is me that I was not thought worthy To see my Christian hands dabbling in the blood Of those dog-headed fiends The number of ships grows larger and larger The great host of north men continually increases They capture every city they pass through And none can withstand There is hardly a single place Hardly a monastery with respect All the inhabitants take flight Few and far between are those who dare say Stay where you are, stay where you are Fight back; do battle for your country But none can withstand In their paralysis, in the midst of their mutual rivalries They buy back at the cost of tribute That which they should have defended Weapons in hand, and allow the Christian kingdom to founder For a cleaved head no longer plots, a cleaved head no longer plots It gladdens me to know that Odin makes ready the benches for a banquet Soon we shall be drinking ale from the curved horns The champion who comes into Valhalla does not lament his death I shall not enter his hall with words of fear upon my lips The Aesir will welcome me, Death comes without lamenting Eager am I to depart, The Valkyries summon me home I laugh as I die…..I laugh as you die…The Sea Wolves Com’eth The wind is fierce tonight; it tosses the seas white hair I fear no wild Vikings crossing the main Pagans from northern regions did come Like stinging hornets and spread on all sides like fearful wolves The sea spewed forth floods of foreigners over Ireland So that no haven, no landing place, no stronghold No fort, no castle might be found But it was submerged by waves of Vikings and Pirates They raised the standards; spread the sails before the wind And like agile wolves set out to rip apart the Lords sheep Pouring out human blood to their God Thor Accursed, headstrong, extremely cruel, and harsh, destructive, troublesome, wild, Ferocious, infamous, inconstant, brash, conceited and lawless, death-dealing Rude, rebellious traitor, kindler of evil, double faced hypocrite and ungodly Arrogant, seductive, foolhardy deceiver, lewd, unbridled, contentious rascal Like a thunderbolt from Heaven, the terror and darkness robbed you of your reason You who have captured many trophies from enemies out of Europe Are now threatened by a spear held by brutal, barbarian hand Which will make a trophy of you? It gladdens me to know that Odin makes ready the benches for a banquet Soon we shall be drinking ale from the curved horns The champion who comes into Valhalla does not lament his death I shall not enter his hall with words of fear upon my lips The Aesir will welcome me, Death comes without lamenting Eager am I to depart, The Valkyries summon me home I laugh as I die…..I laugh as you die…
