Lyrics
**Verse 1:**
In the North Sea so wide and cold,
Sailed a ship so brave and bold,
The *Valkyrie’s Dawn*, her name did ring,
With a hearty crew, they'd sail and sing.
**Chorus:**
Heave ho, lads, the winds do blow,
Through the waves, to lands we go,
But beware, the serpent’s gaze,
In the deep, where Jörmungandr lays.
**Verse 2:**
One stormy night, the seas did roar,
The crew beheld an ancient lore,
A serpent vast, from tail to head,
With eyes that filled their hearts with dread.
**Chorus:**
Heave ho, lads, the winds do blow,
Through the waves, to lands we go,
But beware, the serpent’s gaze,
In the deep, where Jörmungandr lays.
**Verse 3:**
Jörmungandr rose from the deep,
Its scales like mountains, secrets keep,
The Valkyrie’s Dawn stood still in awe,
Before the beast's immense jaw.
**Chorus:**
Heave ho, lads, the winds do blow,
Through the waves, to lands we go,
But beware, the serpent’s gaze,
In the deep, where Jörmungandr lays.
**Verse 4:**
The captain whispered, “Hold your ground,
Make not a move, nor slightest sound,”
They prayed to gods, with hope and fear,
To leave the serpent’s wrath unclear.
**Chorus:**
Heave ho, lads, the winds do blow,
Through the waves, to lands we go,
But beware, the serpent’s gaze,
In the deep, where Jörmungandr lays.
**Verse 5:**
The serpent’s eye, so cold and drawn,
But to their luck, the serpent moved on,
They sailed away with silent cheers,
Escaping death and all their fears.
**Chorus:**
Heave ho, lads, the winds do blow,
Through the waves, to lands we go,
But beware, the serpent’s gaze,
In the deep, where Jörmungandr lays.
**Outro:**
So, raise your glass to those so wise,
Who faced the serpent with calm eyes,
The Valkyrie’s Dawn will sail once more,
With tales of yore on every shore.
