Dm
They can take away our lives
But they can never take our metal!

[Verse 1]
Dm                           F        C       Dm
This is a tale of warriors – questing far and wide
Dm                                    Bb       A
A tale so true and glorious – it will turn the tide
Dm                       F      C       Dm
Those who have seen us – either fled or died
Dm                                 Bb                  A
And those who tell you otherwise – know that they have lied
      Dm                     F           C        Dm
We’re siblings of the North, eight we're standing strong
  Dm                             Bb                 A
Adventuring across the realms to write this awesome song
Dm                                 F    C    Dm
On our quest for might and glory – foes will fall
Dm                           Bb                     A
Filling up our inventory – a potion of strength for all

[Pre-chorus]
D      A
We are warriors of the world
G             A
In our hearts we know what’s right
Bm                       G
We will stand up for the weak
D                                 D        A
And bring the flames of courage – into the fight

Guardians of light
     G                     D            A
With hammers of justice we will win the fight

[Verse 2]
Dm                  F       C      Dm
Nidhögg the dragon, gnawing at our tree
  Dm                   Bb             A
Defenders of Valhalla, we will banish thee
Dm                   F        C       Dm
Sture the Stormborn, quick as one can be
Dm                          Bb                  A
Catching every squirrel and crush them with his knee
Dm                   F      C      Dm
Agnar has fallen, he fought like a beast
Dm                           Bb             A
If we all shall die today, tomorrow we will feast
Dm                         F        C        Dm
Snorre, son of Sturla, the greatest skald he be
Dm                             Bb              A
Telling tales of ancients, the future he could see
