Viking Berserkers Regiment

I'll ask of the berserks, you tasters of blood,
Those who wade out into battle?
Wolf-skinned they are called. In battle
They bear bloody shields.
Red with blood are their axs when they come to fight.
They form a closed group.
The Viking King in his wisdom puts trust in such men
Who hack through enemy lines.

His (Odin's) men rushed forwards without armour, were as mad as dogs or wolves, bit their shields, and were strong as bears or wild oxen, and killed people at with one blow, but neither fire nor iron stop them
