Immigrant Song
Ah, ah, We come from the land of the ice and
snow, From the midnight sun where the hot
springs blow. The hammer of the gods will drive
our ships to new lands, To fight the horde,
singing and crying Valhalla, I am coming! On
we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will
be the western shore. Ah, ah, We come from the
land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun
where the hot springs blow. How soft your fields
so green, can whisper tales of gore, Of how we
calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords.
On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal
will be the western shore. So now you'd better
stop and rebuild all your ruins, For peace and
trust can win the day despite of all your losing.
