Not quite what I was expecting, but what do you think?
Purple and Gold Lyrics
the veil of the sky draws open
the roar of the chariots touch down
we r the ones who have now come again
and walk upon water like solid ground
as we approach the throne we won’t bow down
this time we won’t b deniedraise every voice and let it b known
in the name of the purple and goldwe come in the name of the purple and gold
all of the odds r in r favor
no prediction 2 bold
we r the truth if the truth can b told
long reign the purple and goldthe eyes say ready 4 battle
no need 4 sword in hand
we r all amped up like a rock n roll band
ready 2 celebrate every score
ready 2 fight the elegant war
ready 2 hear the crowd roarthat’s what we came 4
and so much more
in the name of the purple and goldr spirits may b tired
r bodies may b worn
but since this day is r destiny
r history – that’s y we must b
4ever strong as the wind that blows the Vikings’ horn
in the name of the purple and goldCHORUS
I am from Minnesota, and seriously we are all offended by this song. To me it sounds like a 80’s cartoon theme song, not a get riled up and go win a game song. Very dissapointing, making Minnesotians look stupid and musically inept.
