Today it’s the eve of the battle
we’re laying our brothers to rest
The Danelaw will never surrender
we are keeping the flame alive

We stand in the ruins of mercia
A kingdom that once was our home
they burned our houses to ashes
but we’re keeping the flame alive

We fight in the name of the fallen
their daughters, their sons and their wifes
we are strong
we carry on
we are keeping the flame alive

we’ll meet at the gates of valhalla
where odin is awaiting on us
our valour will be praised forever
we are keeping the flame alive


The faith in our heart is unbroken
our children and grandchildren will
remember the words that were spoken
we are keeping the flame alive
