Lyrics

Feel the fire, he's entering the ring,
His mindset only knows how to win,
This Danish fighter will break you in two,
You will feel all his power!

The viking warrior Mikkel Kessler
Will now brand his name, in the back of your head, yeah
You feel the floor again, unleashing his hell
You will not even hear the bell
Maybe you're strong, but you don't stand a chance
Feel the power of a warrior! fight fight fight fight

Let's get ready to rumble! fight fight fight fight

Breaking your record and breaking your bones,
Born a warrior with a code,
A champion feeding your face with a fist,
You will feel all his power!

The viking warrior Mikkel Kessler
Will now brand his name, in the back of your head, yeah
You feel the floor again, unleashing his hell
You will not even hear the bell
Maybe you're strong, but you don't stand a chance
Feel the power of a warrior! fight fight fight fight

Let's get ready to rumble! fight fight fight fight

A gladiators left hand hook fight fight fight fight
Feel the pain of tomorrow!

Behold here comes the son,
Believe it, he was born to be the chosen one,
The call is for a warrior,
His name will echo on the sea and on the ground

Feel the fire, he's entering the ring,
His mindset only knows how to win,
This Danish fighter will break you in two,
You will feel all his power!

The viking warrior Mikkel Kessler
Will now brand his name, in the back of your head yeah
You feel the floor again, unleashing his hell
You will not even hear the bell
Maybe you're strong, but you don't stand a chance
Feel the power of a warrior! fight fight fight fight

Let's get ready to rumble! fight fight fight fight

A gladiators left hand hook,
Feel the pain of tomorrow!

Behold here comes the son,
Believe it, he was born to be the chosen one,
The call is for a warrior,
His name will echo on the sea and on the ground
