Carve Away The Darkness

Over winding mountains, traversing swaying trees
Harken to the sound of the unwavering breeze
Calling through deep valleys a song bellowing cheer
-Moved by the dancing sea of green
-Wandering further among falling leaves
Rambling through old kingdoms, towns far and near
Filling up the taverns as we banish your fears
We carve away the darkness as our songs are heard
-Melodies ring like song of the bird
-Leaving you a heart burning like a hearth
Singing ancient shanties, lore of olden tales
Of battles aw long forgotten, let the wind fill your sails
Wisdom of the mountains, in their glory do we share
-So raise a horn of ale in the fires glare
-Raise up your torch and join if you dare

Wanderers

In ancient days we were wanderers
With ancient ways we will build our hearth
Ancestors names we shall preserve
In ancient days we were wanderers
In olden days we were warriors
With steel we’d slay feeding blood to earth
Raised to pray and battle since our birth
In olden days we were warriors

Bring The Spring

From near and far the folk will come
Seeking firelight
Knowing fellow heathens here
Are gathered in the night
Horns will sound and mead will flow
The forest filled with cheer
Swords will fly on mountains high
Fighting without fear
For kith and kin have gathered here
To sing the season’s praise
A feast is made and people pray
In the sun’s rays
Our songs are heard near and far
As the dance ensues
So join us now to celebrate
And live the life you choose
Pints filling - Pipes smoking
Hearths burning… Through the night
People donning armor now
As war games soon begin
Swords will clash and shields will crack
But none shall meet their end
Torches rise and light the night
As friends do laugh and cheer
Some will wager coin
As others go and gulp down beer
Basting meats with whiskey
As the fire starts to burn
Aromas fill the air around
As appetites yearn
Stories told around the hearth
Telling of our lore
As we feast with kin, I let you in,
On secret days of yore
Pints filling - Pipes smoking
Hearths burning... Through the night
Stories told new and old
Some inspire fear
Others speak of heroes who
Give us reason to cheer
Lessons learned and friendships made
On these sacred days
We gather each and every year
To honor ancient ways
If it is within you to
Tread the northern path
And realize the future’s key
Lies within the past
Join us here to dance and sing
Nature’s oldest song
For we are offspring of the stars
And have been all along
Pints filling - Pipes smoking
Hearths burning... Through the night

Jotun
03:30
|

Over mountain come
Trees cracking in their wake
Drinking up rivers
As the earth begins to shake.
War drums pounding
Human lives they come to take
Behold the might of Jotun
Mankind's shield we will break
The wolf, will break his chains
The serpent, from the sea will rage
The rainbow bridge, will shatter and break
The sky, with fire will rain
Burning through old kingdoms
From hill to hill we romp
Their feeble walls wobble
From the sound of our stomp
We are marching forth
From the forest and the swamp
Lookout….
On broken bodies we will tromp
