My heathen greeting for I am old now Wildfowl whispered on marshland like maidens around burning fires, The Norse winds breathing in my soul ‘Odin doth call’ Blood is the sweat of this iron sword; proud are war smiths I watch the coal biter musing in blood damp earth, Before a fire and smoke of tallow he dreams of war Fill these horns to brim, for I shall drink to Odin’s law And eat I this meal of bread oyster and mussel shell I see heavens stained blood red clouds as we cross the rainbow crystal bridge,  we shall enter Valhalla victorious once more, Lo shall they bleed at shores blooded by iron the Saxons fall, Raged fires shall consume their roof as thunder of north comes forth You call us ****** that which pierces dark shadows, We blow our horn in assembly before Odin warriors of the north Settings suns shone red as quiet falls, serene I see Valhalla the goat and mead hall, roasting beef and herring I no longer fear drowning suns for the Valkyries sweet song I do hear Freyja shall breathe my new reign at dawn   The old wars are over but our fight shall ne’er end, ─ Lo I see my father ASPAR (Arnay Rumens)  © 2013

My Heathen Greeting
My heathen greeting for I am old now Wildfowl whispered on marshland like maidens around burning fires, The Norse winds breathing in my soul ‘Odin doth call’ Blood is the sweat of this iron sword; proud are war smiths I watch the coal biter musing in blood damp earth, Before a fire and smoke of tallow he dreams of war Fill these horns to brim, for I shall drink to Odin’s law And eat I this meal of bread oyster and mussel shell I see heavens stained blood red clouds as we cross the rainbow crystal bridge,  we shall enter Valhalla victorious once more, Lo shall they bleed at shores blooded by iron the Saxons fall, Raged fires shall consume their roof as thunder of north comes forth You call us ****** that which pierces dark shadows, We blow our horn in assembly before Odin warriors of the north Settings suns shone red as quiet falls, serene I see Valhalla the goat and mead hall, roasting beef and herring I no longer fear drowning suns for the Valkyries sweet song I do hear Freyja shall breathe my new reign at dawn   The old wars are over but our fight shall ne’er end, ─ Lo I see my father ASPAR (Arnay Rumens)  © 2013
