[Verse 1]
As the first light touched the waves
And the ravens cawed across the bay
A mighty fleet with red white sails
Three hundred viking ships were on their way

[Refrain]
War!

[Verse 2]
With thirst for blood and all out war
A thirst that's aching through our hearts and bones
We're heading west to distant shores
To avenge our father and to win the throne
They think their god will save their skin
But all resistance will be in vain
We stare at death with crimson grins
With Odin's help we cannot fail

[Chorus]
We hold our heads up to the sky
And know that we will never die
As long as we stand side by side
As long as we can see the ravens fly
Ravens fly
Ravens fly
[Refrain]
War!

[Bridge]
Heading to Northumbraland
Come what may, we won't back down
When horns of war begin to sound
Aella's head will lose its crown

[Pre-Chorus]
Come what may, we hold our heads up to the sky
And know that we will never die
As long as Odin's on our side

[Chorus]
We hold our heads up to the sky
And know that we will never die
As long as we stand side by side
As long as we can see the ravens fly
Ravens fly
Ravens fly

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
We hold our heads up to the sky
And know that we will never die
As long as we stand side by side
As long as we can see the ravens fly
We hold our heads up to the sky
And know that we will never die
As long as we stand side by side
As long as we can see the ravens fly
Ravens fly
See the ravens fly
