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 Tales 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
