* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjk6QCL2YLE Berserkir]] by Brothers of Metal talks up the terror of facing one:
--> He fights, he fights until he wins or dies\\
No fear, no fear can touch him now\\
In a sea of raging blood,\\
The warrior cannot control\\
The burden of this violent flood\\
The madness in his soul\\
He shouts, his shout will bring you crashing down\\
Attack, no one can save you now\\
Outnumbered he will charge into\\
The carnage of the battle he's\\
A savage and a maniac\\
A mountain of a man\\
Slaughter embodied, a storm in disguise\\
A monster of battle, get ready to die\\
He seeks and destroys, no escape from his might\\
He fights for his life, and he lives for the fight!\\
Enter fury, enter rage,\\
See the madness in his gaze\\
Unbreakable, a creature out of control\\
Enter fire, enter death\\
Smell the blood upon his breath\\
Man or beast?\
Destruction released

The main page for The Berserker was becoming too long. Certain sections, like Music, were deleted from the main page and became subpages.
Added DiffLines:
* A few characters from Music/FoodForTheGods by Music/{{Fireaxe}}, most notably ''The Black Knight''.
* ''Music/{{Manowar}}'''s "The Sons of Odin," in a particularly badass part of the song:
-->Onward, into the heart of the battle fought the sons of Odin.
-->Outnumbered many times, still they fought on.
-->[[OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank Blood poured forth]] from their wounds deep into the earth.
-->Vultures waited for the broken shells that once were bodies.

* Heather Alexander's "Don't Call My Name In Battle" has a berserker giving some very important advice to his comrades:
-->Don't call my name in battle -- it's not wise.
-->Do not distract me when you see a new soul in these eyes.
-->For when the war god fills this flesh I wear,
-->I am no more your friend; I am the spirit of the bear.
-->Don't call my name in battle -- stand away,
-->For I will never hear you, but some other creature may.
-->It never sees a friend, but only foes.
-->Just count the bodies lying where this taken body goes.
-->Don't call my name in battle -- wait the time,
-->Until I fall and rise again with eyes you know are mine.
-->And then perhaps we'll rest and talk of home.
-->But you'll not be surprised to see how much I walk alone.
* Brad Neely's ''Role Play Tournament (Be Aggressive)'' chronicles how a tabletop RPG player wins a tournament with his berserker-type character. It even goes as far as revealing his self-examination, in that despite his own admission of his lack of self-control, he just goes on punching holes in ships and ripping other characters asunder.
--> Mirror, mirror, uh
--> Up on the wall, uh
--> Who's the baddest motherfucker of them all, uh
--> Just like Columbus, uh
--> He get the bloodlust, uh
--> Just like Columbus he get murderous on purpose

* The song "Valhall Awaits Me" by Music/AmonAmarth is all about one.
--> "SWORD IN MY HAND!
--> AX ON MY SIDE!
--> VALHALL AWAITS!
--> SOON! I WILL DIE!
--> SWORD IN MY HAND!
--> AX ON MY SIDE!
--> VALHALL AWAITS ME
--> WHEN I DIE!
--> BEARSKIN ON MY BACK!
--> WOLF'S JAW ON MY HEAD!
--> VALHALL AWAITS ME
--> WHEN I'M DEAD!"
* Leslie Fish's "The Berserker" is another example of a berserker giving fair warning:
-->So leave the devil where it lies\\
Cast no blood into my eyes\\
And never place my life in threat\\
For when the monster comes alive\\
If you survive, you won't forget....\\
The roar when language falls away\\
The vision leached to black and grey\\
The speed that makes the wind feel slow\\
[[UninhibitedMusclePower The strength beyond the bone's design]]\\
These are the signs I too well know....
* The titular character in Music/LordHuron's song "The World Ender":
-->"Lord knows I should be pushing daisies
-->I was 6 feet down, but something raised me up
-->Sent back for to lift my curse
-->I'm gonna get me a taste of some chaos first
-->Untied, gonna get little wild
-->Go screaming through the dark like a demon child
-->Close your eyes now, the light is fading
-->And the noise in the night is gonna get a little louder, baby"
