Húskarls (Viking Warriors) | Viking Metal

Описание: Húskarls were the sworn household warriors of a Norse lord, bound not by coin, but by oath, loyalty, and shared fate. They lived close to power and closer to death, standing as the last line between their lord and chaos.

English Translation of the Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I stand firm in the king’s hall
iron in my hand, fear does not reach me
blood and poison burn in my chest
the huskarl lives, the huskarl advances

Stone and smoke, shadow and wounds
my sword sings, tearing apart all peace
I was not bought with gold or truce
but with an oath and the law of hatred

[Pre Chorus]
Hear the call in the night
no one flees my lord

[Chorus]
We are housecarls, steel in flesh
bones broken, but the shield unbroken
We step forward, no knee falls here
death comes, but not my honor

Housecarls, iron and oath
we still stand, though the world is enraged

[Verse 2]
Chains break, loyalty does not fall
my faith is harder than any ground
in the clash of weapons we find peace
in battle our true bond is forged

No mercy, no hope
only deeds and burning marks
my name is carved into red sand
my resolve lives longer than land

[Bridge]
If I fall, my word still stands
if I am silent, the sword speaks
my lord and death are equal
I do not turn from my name

[Breakdown]
Strike
tear
step
endure

My oath
my blood
my name
stands

[Final Chorus]
We are housecarls, steel in flesh
bones broken, but the shield unbroken
We step forward, no knee falls here
death comes, but not my honor

Housecarls, fire and iron
faith to the end, sword in filth

[Outro]
In the king’s hall it is still heard
our heavy steps move through the nights
the huskarl lives, the huskarl stands
as long as the heart hammer burns

Follow me to support my work and not miss anything.
