Raise your cups to comrades gone
To friends and heroes past
With heavy hearts and solemn vows
Your memory forever lasts
Though now is not the time to mourn
For battle-brothers lost
We'll raise our cups and drink the mead
'Til gates of hell we've crossed
From time to time our memories eye
Sees shades of mournful black
When crew and friends meet grizzly ends
With bodies torn, all stabbed and hacked
Why don't we cease this fighting life
For one without this death?
Hell with our souls, we'll steal our gold
'Til we've drawn our last breath!
Raise your cups to comrades gone
To friends and heroes past
With heavy hearts and solemn vows
Your memory forever lasts
Though now is not the time to mourn
For battle-brothers lost
We'll raise our cups and drink the mead
'Til gates of hell we've crossed
To friends and heroes past
With heavy hearts and solemn vows
Your memory forever lasts
Though now is not the time to mourn
For battle-brothers lost
We'll raise our cups and drink the mead
'Til gates of hell we've crossed
From time to time our memories eye
Sees shades of mournful black
When crew and friends meet grizzly ends
With bodies torn, all stabbed and hacked
Why don't we cease this fighting life
For one without this death?
Hell with our souls, we'll steal our gold
'Til we've drawn our last breath!
Raise your cups to comrades gone
To friends and heroes past
With heavy hearts and solemn vows
Your memory forever lasts
Though now is not the time to mourn
For battle-brothers lost
We'll raise our cups and drink the mead
'Til gates of hell we've crossed
