Into the darkness, into the frozen black
Our ships long ago been drawn ashore
We'd marched for days in deep Winter
Before we'd unleash our surprise attack
During a quiet dawn, unaware sleepers
Now the foes approached nevermore
Moved swiftly, blowing horns of victory
We then showed the enemy no mercy
For they had long practice acts of terror
As our people called for vengeance
Responded with axes, arrows, swords
With no thought to pillage and looting
Intentions were to prevent further acts
"If through storms I need to protect my boat at sea, I calm
the wind on the wave and put all the sea to sleep.” Hávamál
