Verse 1:
We sailed to war,
We fought for Njord,
We gave our all for him
And now he’s gone.
We fought so hard
For him to win
And he laid down his life
For the Lady and her twins.
Chorus 1:
There’s no wind in our sails,
We did our best to prevail,
Yet his sacrifice we could not foresee,
We lost Njord, our blue god of the sea.
Verse 2:
Our warriors’ eyes
Were filled with tears,
Our sea god left us for
A thousand years.
The blue lights flashed
High in the sky,
And our worst fears came true,
For Njord, the sea god, died.
Chorus 2:
Our ale has gone sour,
All our songs lost their power,
His sacrifice we did not foresee,
We lost Njord, our blue god of the sea.
Verse 3:
The Lady won
The godly war,
Though our men fought and died
For our sea god, Njord.
We beat the orcs
And the desert men,
We would have fought for him,
Again and again and again.
Chorus 3:
But this is the end,
Our god we can no longer defend,
His sacrifice we did not foresee,
We lost Njord, our blue god of the sea.
Verse 4:
We’re Islanders,
From the sea we’re born,
And one day, to the sea
We shall return.
For a thousand years
We’ll be apart,
Yet every day, our sea god, Njord,
Lives on in our hearts.
Chorus 4:
Again, we’ll sail the stormy seas,
Brave Islanders, for all to see,
We’ll call out his name, day after day,
He’s gone for now, but in our hearts he’ll stay.
Chorus 5:
Again, we’ll sail the stormy seas,
Brave Islanders, for all to see,
And every day our ships sail from the fjord,
We’ll spill a cask of ale for our sea god, Njord.
