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
