Ah, ah
We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow
The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, singing and crying
Valhalla, I am coming!
On we sweep with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore
Ah, ah
We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow
How soft your fields so green
Can whisper tales of gore
Of how we calmed the tides of war
We are your overlords
On we sweep with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore
So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite of all your losing

    General Comment:This song refers to Iceland specifically. They wrote it after playing there because they loved it so much. "hot springs blow"refers to their gysers and "midnight sun" refers to their long daylight hours during the summer. If you ever go to iceland they have it on t-shirts and ecerything. Robert Plant told this in a interview.

    General Comment:My father loved Led Zeppelin. When he was in the U.S. Army he saw them in Germany. Unfortunately he passed away but when he died I was given the concert ticket from that show. He always kept it in his wallet. It's orange, and faded, and it's completely in German. All I can understand is this: "Led Zeppelin" :)

    I listened to this song a lot while driving around with my Dad. Led Zeppelin is truly a unique band and I'm just happy I got to share them with my Dad for the time that I did.

    This is my favorite part of the song:
    "For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing."
