This song is about the legendary Bjorn Ironside. Supposedly the son of the famous Viking King Ragnar Lothbrok, this song is all about his legend. It is not actually known if Bjorn Ironside actually was the son of Ragnar, but he was the first ruler of the Munso dynasty
[Verse 1]
Born the son of a legend
What will be my fate?
Will his shadow always loom above?
Or will my name prevail?
The weight I carry from his past
Has always weighed me down
I've struggled hard to find my path
To prove I am my own
[Chorus]
Ironside
That's my name
It will live in infamy
Ironside
Sing my name
For all eternity
[Verse 2]
I have traveled on the wind
It's brought me far and wide
Through rain of blood and storms of steel
My legacy is mine
[Chorus]
Ironside
That's my name
It will live in infamy
Ironside
Sing my name
For all eternity
[Post-Chorus]
(Järnsida, Järnsida)
(Järnsida, Järnsida)
[Bridge]
And never has my blood been shed
In countless wars and fights
This kenning is my true name
They call me Ironside
[Verse 3]
Now here I sit on Svitjod's throne
The land that's now my home
And when my soul to Asgård's flown
Here I'll rest my bones
[Chorus]
Ironside
That's my name
It will live in infamy
Ironside
Sing my name
For all eternity
Ironside
That's my name
It will live in infamy
Ironside
Sing my name
For all eternity
[Outro]
I'm Ironside
Svitjod's king
I am Svitjod's king
