Verse 1:
From the sea we’re born,
With our ships we sail,
Into the sea we’ll sink,
On our final swim.
Come and sit, my friend,
Come, let’s share some ale,
Join us as we sing,
Of our much loved king.
Chorus:
Sing the mourning songs,
Spill a cask of ale,
For our king to enjoy,
On his final swim.
Wave your last goodbye,
Raise your hands up high,
For Njord we shall fight,
Till our final swim.
Verse 2:
Captain of the seas,
Knut roamed far and wide,
Plundered every shore,
Four realms felt his might.
In shield walls he’d stand,
With his loyal band,
All his name would cheer,
When victory was near.
Chorus:
Verse 3:
Chosen by his peers,
His father to succeed,
He became our king,
Feuds of old he healed.
Sigurd, Anders met,
He got them to shake hands,
Peace upon the land,
By Knut’s firm command.
Chorus:
Verse 4:
The War of the Seven called,
Our great fleet set sail,
But King Knut was gone
Before we left the fjord.
A vampire’s deadly kiss
Took our king away,
But we shall fight on,
For our sea god, Njord.
Chorus:
Repeat Chorus.
