Amon Amarth - Varyags Of Miklagaard Lyrics






Miklagaard has been our home
For twenty years or more
We've lent our axes, spears and swords
In service of the emperor

We are loyal warriors
That's the oath we gave
To protect the emperor
Even to a violent grave

Our loyalty was always firm
We kept our given word
On these southern battlefields
Our northern war cries roared

Battles have been fought
Many gave their lives
But all who died by axe and sword
Were called to hall up high

Our time here
Is now at end
Can't help but reminisce
A cold spring day
So long ago
When we set out to sea

We!
Set out from Svitjod's
Shores!
With dreams of fame and
Gold!
And!
The work of weaving
Norn's!
Was for us unknown

We were loyal warriors
That's the oath we gave
To protect the emperor
Even to the grave

It's time to take farewell
We have been resolved
From the sacred oath we gave
It's time to go back home

Out time here
Is now at end
Our memories will stay
Of Miklagaard
Our southern home
Until the end of days

We!
Set out for Svitjod's
Shores!
With honor and
Rewards!
We return back
Home!
We return back
Home!
With honor and
Rewards!
We return back
Home!

    Some info for those who does not know what the Varyags/Varangian guard was


    During the reign of the Eastern Roman emperor Basileus II, the empire was beset on multiple fronts by enemy forces, and after having fought the Rus vikings in the north, they agreed on the terms that the Rus would send some of their warriors to the Byzantine emperor as a truce.


    The Byzantine emperor was displeased with the lack of loyalty by his countrymen since they were very vulnerable to betray their liege by usurpers, however these Varangians were hired by money and swore an oath that they would serve their Emperor unto death if necessary and without any political ties to other entities in the Empire. Thus, these northmen would become the famed "Varangian guard" that would act as a personal bodyguard for the Emperor.


    Shortly after their establishment they would make a great name of themselves, fighting with a ferocity unknown to the Mediterranean world, as the Emperor would often put them into the most critical times of battles where they gladly hacked their foes into pieces weather they were fighting or running away from the battle with their axes. Such as in the battle of Beroia where 480 Varangians hacked their way into the Pecheneg ranks which caused panic and essentially ended the entire battle in a complete rout of their forces.


    Hope you learned something new. I wrote this after a long pub visit so dont expect the text to be of top notch quality, have a good day!

    Edit: One example of the bloodlust of these men was that during one battle against another Byzantine usurper, the usurping lord had a stroke when he saw the lines of varangians facing his army and died on the spot. Then when his army saw the death of their lord they despaired and scattered. However, the Varangian had come there for a fight and really demanded one. So they started running down and killed most of the fleeing soldiers nevertheless.

    I loved it ❤

    S.... m....

    There were the true humans -
    Brave, strong, faithful to oaths...
    And also violent, bloodthirsty and cruel.
    They never escaped from their human nature. They accepted it. They knew that after death will be the glory... And after all there will be End. They were fatalists, but how mighty were they in their beliefs!

    S.... m....

    This is so good

    S.... m....

    It is bit different. Main problem were Bulgars. Vikings (Waldemar, today Vladimir of Kiev) make deal with Emperor Basileus II. Basileus offered his sister, Anna Porphyrogenitos, to Waldemar in exchange for military alliance. As Waldemar was "barbarian ruler", marriage with Roman Princess was great political victory for him and strenghtened his rule. Waldemar, however, had to accept Orthodox Christanity and thus Kiev and Russia became Orthodox Christian realm until present.
    Then, Waldemar sent part of his troops (various sources indicate at least 5,000, other claim 10,000), enough to massacre Basileus enemies on all sides - repel Arab raids, suppress rebels and usurpers and annihilate First Bulgarian Empire.

    Vargas of miklgaard lyrics:
    Miklgaard has been our home for twenty years or more we've lent our waitress beers and stores for the upper horde

    We are loyal worriers that's the opening to protect the upper horde even to a fallen grave

    Our loyalty was always fur we kept our given word on these southern battlefields a northern war has wared

    Battle sevenfold many gave their lives and I will hide my axe or sword will fall to high

    While I'm climbing here
    The snow will end
    Get help but reveal this

    Mine old red days when women had to go

    We set on the sea
    We set off from Sweden's shores
    With dreams of beer and gold

    We the one we ignore was for us unknown

    We were loyal worriers that's the opening to protect the upper horde even to a fallen grave

    It's time to take the wheel we have been dissolved from the sacred open game it's time to go

    While I'm climbing here
    The snow will end
    And hell always will stay

    Or me nah gore
    The servant that I own will till to the end of days

    We set off from Sweden's shores
    When all we war
    We return back hoe
    We return back hoe
    When all we war
    We return back hoe
    We return will return
    We return back hoe
    We return will return
    Return back hoe

    Amon Amarth Varyags Of Miklagaard:

    Miklagaard has been our home
    For twenty years or more
    We've lent our axes, spears and swords
    In service of the emperor

    We are loyal warriors
    That's the oath we gave
    To protect the emperor
    Even to a violent grave

    Our loyalty was always firm
    We kept our given word
    On these southern battlefields
    Our northern war cries roared

    Battles have been fought
    Many gave their lives
    But all who died by axe and sword
    Were called to hall up high

    Our time here
    Is now at end
    Can't help but reminisce
    A cold spring day
    So long ago
    When we set out to sea

    We!
    Set out from Svitjod's
    Shores!
    With dreams of fame and
    Gold!
    And!
    The work of weaving
    Norn's!
    Was unknown

    We were loyal warriors
    That's the oath we gave
    To protect the emperor
    Even to the grave

    It's time to take farewell
    We have been resolved
    From the sacred oath we gave
    It's time to go back home

    Out time here
    Is now at end
    Our memories will stay
    Of Miklagaard
    Our southern home
    Until the end of days

    We!
    Set out for Svitjod's
    Shores!
    With honor and
    Rewards!
    We return back
    Home!
    We return back
    Home!
    With honor and
    Rewards!
    We return back
    Home!

  86. S.... R....

    The riffs from 1:06 to 1:37 my fav part. Glad I bought this album a while ago :)

  87. T.... A....

    Ulan adamlar Kuzeyde yaşayıp İstanbul için güneydeki evimiz, imparatorluğun koruyucuları temalı kahramanlıklarını anlattıkları epik müzikler yapıyor. Biz hala analar ağlamasın tadında müzik yapıyoruz :(( Bizden böyle şeyler ne zaman çıkacak aq

    T.... A....

    Einherjar They're speaking Turkish.

    T.... A....

    Tahsin Alp Eww turks

    T.... A....

    C.... C....

    Charles Craig Even in death we still serve

    C.... C....

    To protect The Emperor even to our final grave... Until that Geneseed kicks in.

    C.... C....

    I dont sense any heresy here. It' s a fine song to protect the emperor

    C.... C....

    Like i wrote before :). "Till kejsaren är vi trogen". "To the emperor we are faithful". But cut the crap :), the varyags (väringar in swedish) did it for the money and the fame but stayed loyal.

    C.... C....

    This is the perfect song for a traitor legion since it starts off with “we are loyal warriors” and ends with “we were loyal warriors”

  90. M.... J....

    We are not Väringavakten (Royalguardians of Miklagård.) anymore.

  91. M.... J....

    Once again, we must travel to Istanbul, and now, destroy the Ideology Islam.
