Ballad of the Swords

Across the moor we norsemen rode And skalds to us song Days of glory soon should be When swords blood-red were swung One eyed father give us strength My brave kinsmen and I In Valhalla I your mighty men meet If I in this battle die From the sky your ravens watching me Both of them I see Thank you Father for letting me know You watch over me At the moor the ravens spoke to me While skalds did their song A bitter loss was soon to come For those I were among Across the moor we norsemen rode And skalds to us sung That days of glory soon should be When swords blood-red were swung I say to you, I ask you to For once be your own lord Come with me Be a part of my Ballad of the swords A sudden clash where swords were drawn Was the beginning of my end With a Norseman's pride and courage I fought I would to Hel them send Instead I felt cold chilling steel Stab me from behind A craven's deed indeed it was Peace he should not find Faded I did Strange beauty I met The dream for me came true Brought up I were Bifrost I saw My mortal life were through Your mortal life With children & wife Wouldn't have no value If you knew as I About life up here You would die to be here forever Across the moor we norsemen rode And skalds to us sung That days of glory soon should be When swords blood-red were swung I say to you, I ask you to For once be your own lord Come with me Be a part of my Ballad of the swords
