========== Lyrics ==========
Med segelhäst från östan, kom gutars kung
Med här till Svetjuds mark
Till att pröva galtens mod
Med både eld och stål de plåga folket
rövade landet svårt
De togo guldklädd mö, furstens äkta hälft
Ottars far, den hårde skilfing
for till makans värn
till brynjeting, med drottakämpar,
att blöta blodorms svärd
En grånad man, med ett farretryne, i skinande hjälm
Med ändlöst hat, han vätte liden,
med havsfurstens blod
Mitt svärd skall söndra deras lik
Till Odens ges
Då gutars herre, föll till mark, veknade dess hird
De flydde fält och de flydde död, till Korpskogen mörk
Och sveafolket, de jaga rov, allt till skogens rand
Bland träden gömda, de slagna gäckas, att pröva sina svärd
Mitt svärd skall söndra deras lik
Vår gryning skola se dess blod
Deras halsar stilla galgens svält
Jag skall giva dem
Till Oden, Oden
Till Oden, deras liv ska bli korpars fröjd
Oden, era liv skall till Odens ges
Vid gryning hördes hornets sång,
I från havet till gutars värn.
Hjälmar klövs till disers sång
när fursten föll för stål
Och aldrig mer skall de kämpa, då som Stridsgalten segna ned
Och aldrig mer skall svears kung, bryta ringar till sitt folk
========== English lyrics ==========
With longships from the East
Came the king of Geats
With an army to Svetjud's soil
To test the courage of the boar
With fire and steel, they tormented the land
Raided the land bare
They took the gold-clad maiden
The ruler’s better half
Ottar's father, the toughened Skilfing
Sprung to her defense
With ornate helmets, and hardened fighters,
To soak the warlord’s blade
A gray-haired man, with a wild boar’s heart
In shimmering steel
With endless hate, he turned the fields red
With the blood of the Ocean ruler
My sword shall tear the flesh from bones,
To Odin we offer
When the lord of Geats lost his life,
his men lost their spirit
They fled the fields, they fled their death, into the dark Ravenwood
And Svetjud’s sons, they hunted their prey
to the borders of the woods
And by the forest, they mocked their foes, to test their swords
My sword shall tear the flesh from bones,
Dawn will witness their blood.
Their necks will satisfy the hunger of the gallows
I will provide
To Odin, Odin
To Odin, their flesh will be a raven’s feast
Odin, your lives are for Odin.
At dawn a song from a horn could be heard
From the sea, an aid for Geats.
Helmets split to the Disir’s song
when the Boar lord fell
And never again will they fight
Since the fall of the Boar lord
And never again shall the king of Swedes
Arm his troops with bracelets
