Put Your Back Into The Oar Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The ships await us by the Birka quay
All prepared with sixty oars
They will carry us on the open sea
Heading out to glory wars
[Refrain 1]
We have blothed to Aegir
To the daughters of Ran
We are willing and eager
We are leaving at dawn
[Verse 2]
Four days of good wind
Then we awoke to an ocean mirror calm
Slacking sails, we are drifting
No direction, we are drifting
[Chorus]
Glory calls from beyond the waves
A chance for fame and rich reward
Honour waits beyond the grave
So put your back into the oar
[Verse 3]
The sun is burning, now wе’re lost at sea
Our rations are running low
Thirsty throats and hungry flеas
But we still got many days to go
[Refrain 2]
We are crossing the ocean
Left our home in the North
The oars have set us in motion
They will carry us forth
[Pre-Chorus]
Each man builds his own fame
Now everyone, show me what you’re worth
Who recalls a coward’s name?
No one remembers, who remembers
[Chorus]
Glory calls from beyond the waves
Beckons those with a heart for war
Honour waits beyond the grave
So put your back into the oar
[Bridge]
Row! Row! Row! Row!
Row! Row! Row! Row!
Row! Row! Row! Row!
The oar is your best friend
Row! Row! Row! Row!
For a triumphant end
Row! Row! Row! Row!
Row for victory
Row! Row! Row!
Into history
Grab your oars
Row to glory wars
And for victory
Into history
[Pre-Chorus]
Each man builds his own fame
Now everyone, show me what you’re worth
Who recalls a coward’s name?
No one remembers, who remembers
[Chorus]
Glory calls from beyond the waves
Beckons those with a heart for war
Honour waits beyond the grave
Fear not a bloody fate
Glory calls from beyond the waves
A chance for fame and rich reward
Honour waits beyond the grave
So put your back into the oar
