	Story Behind the Song ODIN God of wisdom, war and death The leader of the Viking gods and ruler of Åsgård, realm of the gods.  Odin was the god of war and death as well as wisdom.  His companions, two ravens, Hugin (representing thought) and Munin (representing memory) flew out each day at dawn, and returned at dusk to sit on his shoulders and tell him all they had seen and heard.  Warriors who were killed in battle were welcomed into Odin's wonderful hall, Valhalla. What more can one say? Lyrics With one foot on the bow I raise my head to the sky With two horns on my helmet, I stand with a Viking pride I thrust my axe into the air Lay my head down low Where we go I do not know I tell them row Row Forty days and forty nights with no sign of shore But eagerness keeps telling me it's time to explore When from the crow's of nests I hear a mighty joyous woe It seems the gods play us in favor Land Ho! I am a Viking I am a Viking I am a Viking I storm the gates of castles in rampaging crusades I pay no mercy to the ones who stand in my way With bodies on the ground And many blood stains in my beard I am great I am respected I am feared I am a Viking I am a Viking I am a Viking The sun sets on my journey and home becomes my course But for the plunder and the death I feel no remorse For whether defeat rears its ugly head Or victory is nigh I'm a viking and I'll be one Till I die
