Where did Vikings workship? Why?
Immigrant Song by Led ZeppelinAh-ah, ah!Ah-ah, ah!
We come from the land of the ice and snowFrom the midnight sun, where the hot springs flow
The hammer of the godsW'ell drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, and sing and cryValhalla, I am coming!
On we sweep with threshing oarOur only goal will be the western shore
Ah-ah, ah!Ah-ah, ah!
We come from the land of the ice and snowFrom the midnight sun where the hot springs flow
How soft your fields so greenCan whisper tales of gore
Of how we calmed the tides of warWe are your overlords
On we sweep with threshing oarOur only goal will be the western shore
So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruinsFor peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing
