Skaldic Art

By the fire's gleam

The skald lies asleep

But still his tales dance within the flames

He told me of time long gone

Of warriors proud in legendary shroud

By the fire's gleam

The skald lies asleep

But still his tales dance within the flames

Tales Of Gods and fairy folk

Forgotten now from all

Tell me skald

Praise with thy fiddle

All the things you saw

When in Viking times

Dragons ruled the North!

In the Viking times

Thor's silver chariot

Rode on clouds sky-borne!

By the fire's gleam

The skald lies asleep

But still his tales dance within the flames

In the Viking times

A tale now unfolds

So keep it in your heart

Least it may go!

In the Viking times

Upon the rainbow's end

Heimdall I met

The guardian of Bifrost!

In the Viking times

A tale now unfolds

So keep it in your heart

Least it may go!

In the Viking times

And far, far away

In the North of yesterday

Singing with the boreal gale!

Tales Of Gods and fairy folk

Forgotten now from all
