LYRICS From the frozen north, my name was forged in flame, A kingdom lost, a thousand shores to claim. I am the storm, I am the blade, Remember the name... Hardrada! Fifteen winters, I took the sword, Beside Saint Olaf, I rode to war. At Stiklestad, beneath the raven's flight, My brother fell, we lost the fight. Wounded and hunted, I fled the land, With blood on my sword and death close at hand. To Yaroslav's court, in the Rus' I came, An exile with nothing but a warrior's name. But exile cannot break the will of kings, Nor silence the call that ambition sings. From Kiev's walls to the Eastern throne, I carved my fate with steel alone! I AM HARDRADA! LORD OF THE FLAME! FROM THE FROZEN NORTH, THE WORLD KNOWS MY NAME! I CROSSED THE SEAS, I CONQUERED THE STORM, A KINGDOM OF IRON, A LEGEND WAS BORN! I AM HARDRADA! HEAR MY CRY! I HAVE LIVED BY THE SWORD, AND BY THE SWORD I SHALL DIE! LET THE BELLS OF VALHALLA RING, FOR I WAS BORN TO BE A KING! To Miklagard, Constantinople's walls, Where golden domes and the empire calls. Beneath the purple emperor's golden crown, I raised my axe and struck men down. A Varangian, sworn to the Emperor's might, I led the Guard through the darkest fight. Through Sicily's shores and Bulgaria's plains, I conquered in fire, in blood and pain. Rich with silver, my fortune made, I left the East with a warrior's blade. Back through the Rus', then home once more, To claim the crown my fathers wore! Magnus the Good, my nephew, king, Half of Norway, our pact would bring. We shared the throne, but fate decreed, His crown was mine when he was freed. In forty-seven, the crown was mine, King of Norway, by blood and design. Hardrada! The hard ruler's name, I waged with Denmark an endless flame. Across the waves, my warships flew, And Danish shores felt the fury too. Fifteen years of the northern war, But still my heart desired much more. Then word arrived from England's shore, An exiled earl came to my door. Tostig Godwinson, cast from his land, Together we'd make our final stand! I AM HARDRADA! LORD OF THE FLAME! FROM THE FROZEN NORTH, THE WORLD KNOWS MY NAME! I CROSSED THE SEAS, I CONQUERED THE STORM, A KINGDOM OF IRON, A LEGEND WAS BORN! I AM HARDRADA! HEAR MY CRY! I HAVE LIVED BY THE SWORD, AND BY THE SWORD I SHALL DIE! LET THE BELLS OF VALHALLA RING, FOR I WAS BORN TO BE A KING! Three hundred ships upon the tide, With Tostig's men marching by my side. Through Orkney's waters, across the foam, I sailed to England to claim a throne. At Fulford's field, their earls I broke, And York surrendered beneath my cloak. But Harold marched with furious speed, And Stamford Bridge would see my creed! The sun burned high! My armour lay behind! No warning came! No time to form the line! An arrow's flight! A blade of English steel! The king who conquered worlds Would learn that death is real! I WAS HARDRADA! LORD OF THE FLAME! REMEMBER THE KING WHO CHALLENGED THE FATE! FROM KIEV'S WALLS TO THE EMPEROR'S HALL, I ROSE FROM EXILE, I ANSWERED THE CALL! I WAS HARDRADA! HEAR MY CRY! AT STAMFORD BRIDGE, I WAS DESTINED TO DIE! BUT NO MAN CAN TAKE WHAT THE YEARS CANNOT BRING, THE GLORY OF HARDRADA, THE LAST VIKING KING! The bridge ran red beneath the sky, Beside my fallen men I lie. My kingdom fades, my saga remains, A thousand years cannot erase my name. I came as a boy... I leave as a king... HARDRADA!
