        Stand up! Stand up for Odin, you warriors of the beard!
        lift high the Raven Banner that half the world has feared!
        From Angleland to far Vinland shall sound the Warrior's Cry
        Till every foe is vanquished, and Odin reigns most high!

        March forth with steel flashing beneath the naked Sun
        and never stand at rest again 'til all the World is won!
        Let scarlet sword his symbol carve in every nation's sod
        'Til every man still breathing stands up for OdinGod!

        Let ships with prows of Dragons the mighty oceans cleave
        and every land not Odin's our crimson gifts receive
        let Raven Banners fill the sky where every man has trod
        And all the soil beneath them belong to OdinGod!

        Stand up! Stand up for Odin, you Warriors of the North!
        With silver swords a-flashing to victory go forth!
        From Angleland to far Vinland our joyous conquest lead
        'Til every foe is vanquished, and Odin's Lord, indeed!
