Skaldic Art Lyrics


By the fire's gleam

The skald lies asleep

But still his tales

Dance within the flames

He told me all of time long gone

of four warriors proud in legendary shroud

By the fire's gleam

The skald lies asleep

But still his tales

Dance within the flames

He told me Of the gods and fairy folk

Long forgotten now from all

Tell me skald

Praise with thy fiddle

All the things you saw

When in viking times

Dragons rules 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

Long Forgotten now from all

Tell me skald

Praise with thy fiddle

All the things you saw

When in viking times

Dragons rules 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!

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
