Rebellion - Sword in the Storm (The Saga of Earl Hakon, Protector of Norway) lyrics
Come Skald sit thee with us and tell us of the past The deeds of viking warriors in your songs they'll ever last We long to hear of Hakon, the Earl of Norway's shores Or how he killed the Gravskin and stood the Jomsburg force He was born the son of Sigurd, his father stabbed by royal hands He escaped and turned a viking, his frame spread across the lands And on the day he faced the Gravskin, anger wished just like a burning flood Hakon the maker of widows taking lives as his blade drinks blood The fish return now into the fjord, the harvest rich Hakon we hail thy sword Raising temples where a church did stand. Odin smiles to praise the land Sword in the storm, the rock in the battle Hakon you stand and be Odin thy guide Strong be thy arm, oh sword in the storm Thor grant you strength to defend what is right And when the viking of the Jomsburg set their sails against our shores Strong in numbers famous heroes, Hakon you fought them to the core And in the middle of the bloodshed, standing strong I saw your hands reach for the sky Calling for help in the turmoil, Odin took your son as a sacrifice The fish return now into the fjord, the harvest rich Hakon we hail thy sword Raising temples where a church did stand. Odin smiles to praise the land Sword in the storm, the rock in the battle Hakon you stand and be Odin thy guide Strong be thy arm, oh sword in the storm Thor grant you strength to defend what is right But in the end of people asked for the reign of a Christian king Betraying Hakon they soon forgot the good his rule did bring In his sleep, killed by a thrall a hero's bitter end Trygve's son was to succeed to rule the Northern Land. |
