Sweden

Father, I've found a ship
 To take me away
 Pack my box and get me ready
 No time to waste astray
 Father, in a week I will be gone
 To Miklagard on dragon's wings
 There's riches to be won
 To Uppsala
 Odin and Thor
 May they guard my way
 Where I've never walked before
 Sweden, oh Sweden
 My fatherland my home
 I pray to see your shores again
 Tomorrow I'll be gone
 Sweden, oh Sweden
 Heathen stronghold in the black
 Odin walks amidst your trees
 May he guide me back
 I saw an old man passing by
 Under his cloak the flicker of an eye
 As I turned
 To ask his name
 He was gone just as he came
 I know I'm not alone
 He will watch me far from home
 And his wisdom be the light
 And his courage in the fight
 Odin, to Uppsala I shall come
 To honour you with sacrifice
 As it must be done
 Oh Odin, I raise my hands to thee and pray
 Give me strength and wisdom
 There'll be danger in my way
