Viking Heroes Songtext
von The Successful Failures

Long ships move fast
Wealthy vikings had
The following weapons
Helmet, shield, and sword in hand

Viking writing called
Runes, they wrote on stones
These ancient runes are old as times unspoken languages

These viking heroes in my head
King Olaf, Eric the Red, and Igar the Boneless
These viking heroes in my head
Drink from skulls bury their dead Norwegian Moses

Queen Victoria
Portrayed vikings as cruel
Their legacy was stained
By fascist Nazi imagery


Longships and Knars
Could sail against the wind
Oh they could navigate the open sea
And the narrow stream

These viking heroes in my head
King Olaf, Eric the Red, and Igar the Boneless
These viking heroes in my head
Drink from skulls bury their dead Norwegian Moses

When I feel alone, I feel alone, I feel like
When I feel alone, I feel alone, I feel like
When I feel alone, I feel alone, I feel like
Expanding to the North With a battle axe and torch
When I feel medieval

These viking heroes in my head
King Olaf, Eric the Red, and Igar the Boneless
These viking heroes in my head
Drink from skulls bury their dead Norwegian Moses

Long ships move fast
Wealthy vikings had
The following weapons
Helmet, shield, and sword in hand
