Hail The Axe

Domsgard with Viking Spirit

Translation

Verse 1

Ash on the hide

Steel in the rain

We cross the black fjord

With thunder in our veins

Verse 1

Mother of wolves

Keep our hands steady

Horns in the mist

We come back ready

Pre-Chorus

Strike, strike, strike

By bone and by fire

Hold, hold, hold

Till the red moon climbs higher

Verse 2

Boots bite the mud

Drums shake the ground

Cold breath, hot blood

No fear, no sound

Verse 2

We name our dead

Then we name the shore

If winter wants us

It must take more

Bridge

Low lur cry

Over the dark water

Tagelharpa moans

Like an old war daughter

Final Chant

Hail the night

Hail the axe

Hail the oath

We do not turn back

Final Chant

Hail the night

Hail the axe

Hail the oath

We do not turn back

Final Chant

Wolfskin oath

Wolfskin oath

We rise in ash

We rise in smoke
