Berserkers (or berserks) were Norse warriors who are reported in the Old Norse literature to have fought in a nearly uncontrollable, trance-like fury, a characteristic which later gave rise to the English word berserk. Berserkers are attested in numerous Old Norse sources. Most historians believe that berserkers worked themselves into a rage before battle, but some think that they might have consumed drugged foods.
The Úlfhéðnar (singular Úlfhéðinn), mentioned in the Vatnsdœla saga, Haraldskvæði and the Völsunga saga, were said to wear the pelt of a wolf when they entered battle. Úlfhéðnar are sometimes described as Odin's special warriors, with the pelt from a wolf and a spear as distinguishing features.
The name berserker arose from their reputed habit of wearing a kind of shirt or coat (Old Norse: serkr) made from the pelt of a bear (Old Norse: ber-) during battle.
The term comes from old Norwegian berserkr (plural berserkir), meaning bear shirt and suggests a robe. In earlier studies, the element ber- was often misinterpreted as berr-, meaning "bare", understood as indicating that the berserkers fought naked. This view has since been largely abandoned.

Buried deep beneath a sect worshipping the one
Odin
Only knowing one true way in battle to obtain,
Anything, everything in an uncontested way
Crushing
Fires set in the dark blazing on through the night berserker
Rage from deep in the heart undying will for the fight berserker
Hazeled fields lay precise, a challenge met with great strike berserker
Feel the double edged blade meet the soul that it takes
Burn the village to a smoldering ash
Rape and torture leave them in the past
Strike quick and kill the fast
Invasion, pillage, plunder the battle field
Feeling for life no more
My lust for death is pure
Numb to the pain I endure
Invasion, pillage, plunder the battle field

Buried deep beneath a sect worshipping the one

Only knowing one true way in battle to obtain,
Anything, everything in an uncontested way
Crushing
Don't even try as I am in your path
Call me god with your last breath
Feel the berserker's wrath
Invasion, pillage, plunder the battle field
Taking apart of the helm
All of the peace has fell
Now I control this realm
