Echoes of Kattegat lyrics

In the cold lands of the north, beneath the Kattegat sky Two paths crossed where the biting winds cry He, a young farmer with his eyes on the horizon She, a fierce shield-maiden, with courage like a lion Between the harvest of the earth and the handling of the blade A fierce love was born, a sacred vow was made Ragnar and Lagertha, bound by destiny's hand Forging their own path through fire and the land From the plow to the crown, from blood unto glory Ragnar and Lagertha, eternal in story Warriors of the north, rulers of the wild sea A love that neither death nor time could set free The hunger for horizons drew the longships to the west And the ambition of a king put their power to the test Lagertha by his side, shield against shield Conquering kingdoms, making empires yield But the throne demands a price, the crown weighs on the brow Paths split apart beneath the same sky now Lives scarred by loss, by betrayal and pain Yet deep within their eyes, the old embers remained From the plow to the crown, from blood unto glory Ragnar and Lagertha, eternal in story Warriors of the north, rulers of the wild sea A love that neither death nor time could set free Age and fate eventually claim the final toll Ragnar in the pit of snakes, an immortal soul Screaming to the gods, laughing through the pain Waiting in Valhalla for his love again And Lagertha, the queen, in the autumn of her life By the breath of destiny, was taken from the strife Blood upon the snow, the final breath is drawn The cycle is complete, the myth carries on Now the halls of Odin celebrate their names The farmer and the shield-maiden, beyond earthly claims Apart upon the earth, now together in the gold Ragnar and Lagertha, the greatest tale ever told On the wings of the ravens, they fly in peace
