The wise woman said
“Once you’re hardened in battle
There’s no coming back”
Fight or fall!
And before the attack
Feel your blood starts to boil
In your veins as you charge
Hundreds fallen!
As the fire inside is ignited by bloodshed
In berserkers from north
Could it be as was said
Will the serpent be woken?
Fenrir howls
Swedish Pagans, marching to shore
Forged in Valhalla by the hammer of Thor
Out from Asgard, our viking ship sails
Never to turn back again
Where brothers have past
Is where we’ll be proven
The ground they begun
Standing tall!
And we know if we fall
Our comrades awaits
In Valhall
Odin’s calling!
As the fire inside is ignited by bloodshed
In berserkers from north
Could it be as was said
Will the serpent be woken?
Fenrir howls
Swedish Pagans, marching to shore
Forged in Valhalla by the hammer of Thor
Out from Asgard, our viking ship sails
Never to turn back again
First to the battle, first to the feast
Destiny waiting, no retreat, retreat…
Swedish Pagans, marching to shore
Forged in Valhalla by the hammer of Thor
Out from Asgard, our viking ship sails
Never to turn back again

(i know this song is about the Swiss Guards, but i get strong Crusader feels upon listening to this little epic)


In the heart of the Holy See
In the home of Christianity
The seat of power is in danger
There’s a foe of a thousand swords
They’ve been abandoned by their lords
Their fall from grace will pave their path
To damnation
Then the 189
In the service of Heaven
They’re protecting the Holy line
It was 1527
Gave their lives on the steps to Heaven
Thy will be done
For the grace, for the might of our LORD
For the home of the Holy
For the faith, for the way of the sword
Gave their lives so boldly
For the grace, for the might of our LORD
In the name of His glory
For the faith, for the way of the sword
Come and tell their story again
Under guard of forty-two
Along a secret avenue
Castel Saint Angelo is waiting
They’re the guards of the Holy See
They’re the guards of Christianity
Their path through history is paved
With salvation
Then the 189
In the service of Heaven
They’re protecting the Holy line
It was 1527
Gave their lives on the steps to Heaven
Thy will be done
For the grace, for the might of our LORD
For the home of the Holy
For the faith, for the way of the sword
Gave their lives so boldly
For the grace, for the might of our LORD
In the name of His glory
For the faith, for the way of the sword
Come and tell their story again
Dying for salvation
With dedication
No capitulation
Annihilation
Papal commendation
Reincarnation
Heaven is their destination
Dying for salvation
With dedication
No capitulation
Annihilation
Papal commendation
Reincarnation
Heaven is their destination
In the name of God!
For the grace, for the might of our LORD
For the home of the Holy
For the faith, for the way of the sword
Gave their lives so boldly
For the grace, for the might of our LORD
In the name of His glory
For the faith, for the way of the sword
Come and tell their story
Gave their lives so boldly
Come and tell the Swiss Guard story again

*Deus Vult intensifies
Remember when dying for a worthy cause was not cause for shame
