If I Had a Heart is the opening to Vikings. It is is written by Fever Ray under their stage name.
Description[]
The song plays over the title sequence. The sequence shows a stormy sea and dead warriors, their weapons and spoils sinking into the sea, the nine daughters of the goddess Rán swimming around and consuming them. Figures of Norse mythology and some of the characters from Vikings flash by. The final image shows a stormy sea, a thunderous sky, and fires of a Viking raid on land. Accoriding to Rama Allen, who directed the sequence: "We follow the separation of a Viking from the living. He slips into darkness amongst ornaments of his life: weaponry, gold, and bone. His fading memory flickers throughout before he is consumed by one of the Sisters. He is left a shell below the waves before we learn he is not alone, but one of many sinking below the creeping surge of Viking raiders above. A fiery massive raid assaults a darkened coast line." The lyrics of the title theme reflects how Ragnar's endless thirst for knowledge and mankind's greed will see to it that conflicts never will cease.
Lyrics[]
This will never end 'cause I want more
More, give me more
Give me more
This will never end 'cause I want more
More, give me more
Give me more
If I had a heart I could love you
If I had a voice I would sing
After the night when I wake up
I'll see what tomorrow brings
Ah ah, ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah
If I had a voice, I would sing
Dangling feet from window frame
Will I ever ever reach the floor?
More, give me more, give me more
Crushed and filled with all I found
Underneath and inside just to come around
More, give me more, give me more
Ah ah, ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah
If I had a voice, I would sing
