In a similar vein, the old East Kingdom Songbook had "The Ostgardr War
Chant and Spear Dance":

Slam into their shield wall,
Batter till it does fall,
Then we raise the war call,
"Rattan Death!"

Gonna bash 'em in the face,
with a mace, 
Scatter their guts all over the place!
We will, we will, rock you!
We will, we will, rock you!

We will break their legs, and
Crack their skulls like eggs, and
Rip their arms and legs, right 
outta their joints!

CHORUS

We will maim and kill, now, 
Slaughter with a will, now,
Till we've drunk our fill, now,
Of their blood!

CHORUS

Same idea, although I think Ostgardr's version a tad bloodier and a bit
less artistic than Donal's.
