Lyrics
DJ Vossie Intro – Deep cinematic rumble, distant thunder, ocean waves crashing, low male choir chanting
DJ Vossie… se…
Feel the storm… hear the call…
Raise it up… Vikings never fall…
Slow war drum build, deep horns, icy wind ambience
Verse 1 – Deep, gravelly male voice, almost spoken growl
The sea turns black beneath the sky
Cold winds howl and ravens cry
Chains once held, now broken free
We rise again from the deep blue sea
Blood and salt upon the oar
We’ve heard this call a thousand wars
No king, no crown, no mercy shown
The ocean claims us as her own
Pre-Chorus – Choir joins, low and haunting
Ohhh… hear the drums of the tide
Ohhh… no place left to hide
Chorus – Massive Viking chant, layered deep voices
Hoist the colours high and scream
Raise the flag of the cursed and free
From the depths where the lost ones lie
We will rise… we will never die
Hoist the colours, feel the flame
Call the storm, remember our name
Through the dark and endless sea
Death or glory… we are free
Verse 2 – Deeper, more aggressive tone
Steel meets bone, the night ignites
Fire dancing in our eyes
Ghosts of men who came before
Guide our blades forevermore
No fear lives within this chest
Only war drums in our breath
If we fall into the sea
We become eternity
Pre-Chorus – Bigger choir, more intensity
Ohhh… hear the ocean roar
Ohhh… we return once more
Chorus – Even bigger, more voices, stomp rhythm
Hoist the colours high and scream
Raise the flag of the cursed and free
From the depths where the lost ones lie
We will rise… we will never die
Hoist the colours, feel the flame
Call the storm, remember our name
Through the dark and endless sea
Death or glory… we are free
Breakdown – Minimal, deep throat singing, wind and distant thunder
(Hey… Hey… Hey…)
(Hey… Hey… Hey…)
War drums slowly build, heartbeat bass
Bridge – Whispered to roaring escalation
From ice… from fire… from shadow we came
No gods… no masters… no one to tame
The sea is our blood… the storm is our breath
We laugh… we conquer… we dine with death
Final Chorus – Full Viking army, explosive
HOIST THE COLOURS HIGH AND SCREAM
RAISE THE FLAG OF THE CURSED AND FREE
FROM THE DEPTHS WHERE THE LOST ONES LIE
WE WILL RISE… WE WILL NEVER DIE
HOIST THE COLOURS, FEEL THE FLAME
CALL THE STORM, REMEMBER OUR NAME
THROUGH THE DARK AND ENDLESS SEA
DEATH OR GLORY… WE ARE FREE
Outro – DJ Vossie – fading storm, deep echo
DJ Vossie… se…
Raise it… scream it…
The sea remembers…
Final distant chant fading into waves
Hoist… the… colours…
