SONG OF THE REALM

I remember the days of long ago

in the land of the viking realm

you were queen of all the land

and I was Lord of the helm

 

Away we'd sail on those misty nights

as the boatmen they did sing

as we rolled away on the mighty sea's

to the land of the emerald ring

 

Now the emerald ring was a land so rich

with treasures and jewels and gold

where the land was green and the earth did sing

and the hills were rugged and old

 

Oh the fjords were deep and very blue

and the mountains were white with snow

and our villages were snug and oh so warm

in the midst of the moonlight's glow

 

And our life in the viking land was dear

it was bold, ferocious and wild

and Odin kept us safe from harm

as the northern lights did smile

 

You were also, the queen of my heart

and you ruled your land in pride

and I longed for the day, I could make you proud

and ask you to be my bride

 

Oh, I was the master of all the seas

and sailed where few men trod

and I sailed from home and across the foam

to another kingdoms sod

 

And I conquered this land, this beautiful place

this land of riches and dreams

and I sailed away to the land of fjords

to win your hand as my queen

 

But alas, alas, when I finally arrived

a child lay in your arms

and Ragna was king of all the land

and in charge of your beauty and charms

 

And I said not a word, tho it broke my heart

and I sailed away again

to make my home where the warriors roam

and to see what life would bring

 

And I built a castle out of cold black stone

with chambers and turrets and halls

upon a mountain where the snow's always deep

and the wind, like a demon calls

 

And I sit by the fire in the winter time

and in summer I fight for more land

and I plan for the day that I go baack home

and lead you home by the hand

 

And my time will come, I know it will

when my dreams will all come true

for you are the one that I love the best

and our life will begin all anew

 

Oh I remember the days of long ago

in the land of the midnight sun

I was king of the mountain then

and you were my precious one

 

Now I am old and full of thought

about the land of the viking realm

for you were queen of all of the land

and I was Lord of the helm
