Vreid - Blücher lyrics
[Vreid - Blücher lyrics]
Battleships are leaving port
They are heading north
Squadrons of cruisers are coming forth
Cold Norwegian fjords await
Trained in the Baltic Sea
They head for a destiny
Less glorious than it was set out to be
Ice-cold Norwegian fjords await
The water shines so crystal bright
Led by the moon this beautiful night
When nighttime dawns and the mist comes
The iron monster glides into northern shores
Lanterns are shut, but the ship is spotted
From Rauøy fort, the alarm goes off
A threat to our nation is in our waters
At 4: 21 the first bomb of Oscarsborg is shot
Smoke fills the ship as fuel and ammunition
Catches fire
Fifty-one shot of the starboard side
Torpedoing the Blücher entirely
Soldiers are burned and choked by smoke
Thrown overboard in the fjord so cold
Thousand German soldiers died this April 9th
The exquadrare is turning
As they see how their mother ship's burning
They set full retreat
In this battle they suffer, suffer defeat!
They are heading north
Squadrons of cruisers are coming forth
Cold Norwegian fjords await
Trained in the Baltic Sea
They head for a destiny
Less glorious than it was set out to be
Ice-cold Norwegian fjords await
The water shines so crystal bright
Led by the moon this beautiful night
When nighttime dawns and the mist comes
The iron monster glides into northern shores
Lanterns are shut, but the ship is spotted
From Rauøy fort, the alarm goes off
A threat to our nation is in our waters
At 4: 21 the first bomb of Oscarsborg is shot
Smoke fills the ship as fuel and ammunition
Catches fire
Fifty-one shot of the starboard side
Torpedoing the Blücher entirely
Soldiers are burned and choked by smoke
Thrown overboard in the fjord so cold
Thousand German soldiers died this April 9th
The exquadrare is turning
As they see how their mother ship's burning
They set full retreat
In this battle they suffer, suffer defeat!
