Sweden - Rebellion

Father, I’ve found a ship

To take me away

Pack my box and get me ready

No time to waste astray

Father, in a week i will be gone

To Miklagard on dragon’s wings

There’s riches to be won

To Uppsala

Odin and Thor

May they guard my way

Where i’ve never walked before

Sweden, oh Sweden

My fatherland my home

I pray to see your shores again

Tomorrow i’ll be gone

Sweden, oh Sweden

Heathen stronghold in the black

Odin walks amidst your trees

May he guide me back

I saw an old man passing by Under his cloak the flicker of an eye

As i turned

To ask his name

He was gone just as he came

I know i’m not alone

He will watch me far from home

And his wisdom be the light

And his courage in the fight

Odin, to Uppsala i shall come

To honour you with sacrifice

As it must be done

Oh Odin, i raise my hands to thee and pray

Give me strength and wisdom

There’ll be danger in my way
