World I bring - from afar up north Songs I sing - from you nephew's court Convened ting - on the death of harthacnut Proclaimed king - and the danes salute
End your exile - you claim to the throne is strong Svent's your ally - the swedes will fight along
Norway awaits me - it's time to cross the north sea First I must break free- we could ask constantine
I'm needed elsewhere - no way, my troops I can not spare! This seems quite unfair... - can't you hear? my answer is no!
My basileus, my emperor I have honourably served this kingdom Sands have I won, and furthemore Blood of saracencs have flowed by my work of sword
My basileus, my emperor You have left me no choice but escape Taking my men, and from the horn We are breaking uor way out after nightfall
"this is insane, we're trapped in the sound " Row for all're worth, dispair to mirth! "the chain will not break, there's no way around! " Over we shall go! so, hasten now, from stern to blow
Tilt the galley over, for no emperor not chain will stand in my way!
Man the oars " out to the sea! Big farewell and wave godbye Because gentlemen, we are heading home!
Rising, a new day rising New kingdoms await New lands there to take You son's heading home
He's a viging, the last of the vikings With chests full of gold Great tales to be told Your king's heading home
