Ragnar's Ballad: The Saga of Lothbrok

[Intro]
[Banjo solo]

[Verse1]
In the cold north lands, under the whispering pines,
Ragnar Lothbrok rose, a man beyond his times.
With braids of battle, and eyes like winter's frost,
He sailed the serpent seas, no fear of getting lost.

[Chorus] (female Swedish)
Segla, segla genom storm,
Ragnar styr sin drakskepp's form.
Modig, kraftig, han står stark,
Vikingablod, hans livsens mark.
Havens vågor, kalla, grå,
Under stjärnor, han skall gå.
I strid och blod, hans namn skall stå,
Och i saga, evigt flöda.

[Verse] (Male)
From the shores of Kattegaat, to England's verdant plains,
Lothbrok's axes swung, through the storm and rains.
Kings and earls fell low, beneath his mighty hand,
Tales of his fierce rule, spread across the land.

[Chorus] (female Swedish)
Segla, segla genom storm,
Ragnar styr sin drakskepp's form.
Modig, kraftig, han står stark,
Vikingablod, hans livsens mark.
Havens vågor, kalla, grå,
Under stjärnor, han skall gå.
I strid och blod, hans namn skall stå,
Och i saga, evigt flöda.

[Verse] 

[emotion buildup]

But the serpent's coil, would come to bind him tight,
In a pit of vipers, in the shadowed light.
His laughter echoed, amidst the hissing scorn,
A Viking unbroken, in the face of thorns.
Though his flesh was torn, his spirit soared high,
Defiant to the end, under the gray sky.
Legends never die, they rise above the gloom,
Ragnar in the echoes, of the old gods' room.

[Final Chorus]
Segla, segla genom storm,
Ragnar styr sin drakskepp's form.
Modig, kraftig, han står stark,
Vikingablod, hans livsens mark.
Havens vågor, kalla, grå,
Under stjärnor, han skall gå.
I strid och blod, hans namn skall stå,
Och i saga, evigt flöda.
