Returning home from the battlefields Take your seat in the hall of kings Celebrating recent victories Look to wars the future yet may bring The warrior is he, fighting for victory! The warrior is he, fighting for victory! (chorus) Let's drink to our mighty warriors Let's drink to the northern winds Let's drink to our women's beauty Let's drink before the war begins. When you're young you chose the lifestyle of the warrior To live and die to keep your people free You had good times, you had bad times, never did a thing by halves Your life is built around honour and loyalty The warrior is he, fighting for victory! The warrior is he, fighting for victory! (chorus) Let's drink to the coming battle Let's drink to the blood-soaked fields Let's drink to the thrill of combat Let's drink as our foes all yield (chorus) instrumental break (chorus) x2
