Lyrics

[00:16.61]
[00:23.11] The sun rose over the wasteland
[00:24.55]
[00:26.18] As far as the eye can see
[00:28.05]
[00:30.11] Sand fills the vast plains of Serkland
[00:32.73]
[00:34.79] It's vultures jeering at me
[00:35.67]
[00:37.17] But they can circle until they drop dead
[00:39.55]
[00:41.67] I have not come this far
[00:42.92]
[00:45.67] To end, but to pursue my own thread
[00:47.61]
[00:49.36] To join The Varangian Guard
[00:50.99]
[00:52.55] Guards of glory and of might
[00:53.67]
[00:55.05] Red as blood and black as night
[00:57.42]
[00:58.62] Flies our banner as we march
[01:00.61]
[01:02.55] In the East, for the king of the Greek
[01:06.30]
[01:10.30] There's men of the cross and the hammer
[01:12.61]
[01:14.04] A few of the moon crescent
[01:18.05] Men simply searching for glamour
[01:22.05] Some concealing their royal descent
[01:24.99] The axe-bearing foreigners they have aptly named us
[01:26.49]
[01:29.67] All we've come from afar
[01:31.49]
[01:34.42] Diversity is what unites us
[01:35.98]
[01:37.36] We are The Varangian Guard
[01:39.55]
[01:41.25] Guards of glory and of might
[01:42.36]
[01:44.11] Red as blood and black as night
[01:45.61]
[01:46.86] Flies our banner as we march
[01:49.26]
[01:50.94] In the East, for the king of the Greek
[01:54.94]
[01:56.44] Miklagard, in the second indinction, in the 6542 year of the world
[02:00.40]
[02:14.71] To Holmgard and beyond
[02:15.33] This is where the winds have us guided
[02:15.58] For fame and for gold
[02:15.76] We once set sails for these lands unknown
[02:16.02] Guards of glory and of might
[02:16.27] Red as blood and black as night
[02:16.45] Flies our banner as we march
[02:16.71] In the East, for the king of the Greek
