There once was a club swinging Swede Determined to pillage and breed But sweet miss O’conner Defended her honor Refusing to welcome his seed There once was a red-bearded Viking To the emerald land he went hiking And trying to be wily Snuck up Miss Reilly But his salmon was not to her liking There’s a viking name Erik the Erring On a voyage he lost all his bearing Instead of New York He landed in Cork And alone he became hard of herring

Vikings in Ireland (variations on a theme)
Exhaustion and cold is what I feel As I climb the tree called Yggdrasil From Midgard to Asgard, here I go To visit Odin and learn what he knows A prophecy of future that’s about to be Covered in a shroud through which I cannot see

Yggdrasil
Odin’s coming, his hand on his spear The sight of Gungnir strikes dark elves with fear High on his saddle on his eight-legged horse Sleipnir radiates primeval force Burdened with knowledge, he travels the land Patiently waiting to see the world’s end

Odin’s coming
lands of Titans as these Vikings clash at large with their picks and chosen oars and hoa ravished atmosphere with sea by their front and wind at their backs while craters solemnize the dunes

Vikings
The Viking King is dead and gone His memory will live in song On a frozen night and misty dawn His body will forever burn But time has passed as war subsides New sun has rosen in the sky The history became a myth That teenagers will not beleave Time passes fast for fragile men And what they fear, will come again All kingdoms fall, all leaders fail And soon become a part of tale As History repeats itself We will all burn in pits of Hell But there is no Hell and there is no Heven Theres only Death.

Flòki
I am no longer a Roman, Though my nose would differ. I'm not Viking, But my descendants have blonde and red hair. I am a beneficiary of the dark ages, The scriptoriums and monasteries That brought the Greeks and Romans to life. I am not Gael, though my eyes smile When I hear the harp and pipes. Neither am I Saxon nor Norman, Victorious or defeated. I, we, have metamorphized, Casted of the moulted casement, Spread dry wings and lifted, Carried on fresh winds To new worlds To read, write, fish and hunt, And I have gathered My lineage, Framed it in genetics on my wall, To point at in fond remembrance Of what I once was.

We Have Changed
Rumbles of           Thunder Light the candles of my mind safely shielded from the           Winds of conflagration Fire has never been my friend There are           Ashes on my forehead from the rubble at my feet Mainsails billow in my consciousness as a crimson mistral sets my boat Out to sea to search for the                     Giant Drum That lightning plays upon when dybbuks from the ocean deeps                    Rise Up To sink my craft and all aboard in                       Flaming Parodies Of a movie Viking funeral         *ljm*

Two Are Dirt?
Look at you. Getting beaten up, Being everyones ***** What have you become? A tired old man A broken god No one remembers the glory No one remembers your help The ravens have left you They travelled south Looking for other victims Victims of fame and glory They tortured you, Tormented you, Played you, Glorified you. And you prevailed, Oh you conquered. You led; You achieved. But you're just tired now, This is part of your plan. Time to go and relieve yourself. Meet your Ragnarok

Ragnarok
I have no fear, for when I die I know I will hear the Valkyries cry. As they carry me to Odin's hall up high. There i will drink my share of mead and hear my brothers sing.

Cry of the Valkyrie
We come as warriors, we come as raiders, and as slavers. We take what we want, we are Vikings. We raid and we pillage, for our gods, and for our sons. Feel our wrath in battle for we have no fear. For when we fall we join our brothers in Odin's hall.

Wrath Of The Norsemen
Of terrible storms that broke through the town Strangling, uprooting trees, slicing away Homes, a gurgling pulsating fury of air and rain That lasted four days. Unremitting, It brought huge waves in its wake From the tormented sea. All along the assaulted Coast people choked and drowned, Their corpses tipped Onto beaches huddled between ravaged furniture And drying plastic shopping bags, Swollen limbs nibbled at by fish and ***** And scattered throughout the streets Picked at by dogs, A feast that set them up For the coming cold weather. Fleeing birds Squalling overhead in clamorous flocks, plucked From the sky and shattered on rocks; The cats had a field day until Becoming engulfed too in marauding waves Deluging the land. Foxes screamed from the hopeless Shelter of water saturated dens; Only jagged ruins remained, Futile gestures to a once-only god. Towns inland were wrecked by the hurricane bursts And all fell silent as the storm Fled like a Viking raider back into the sea, dragging its Spoils.

STORMS
Ragnar Lothbrok world became half shook, throw a hook, stole and took, solid gold, sacrifice for Oden sacrificing for all your homes, Bjorn, Ivar the Boneless coming like a storm, wakeup and absorb, praying to the gods, going to conquer lands, watch out for Floki he killed Athelstan

Vikings
I will re-visit The modern picts, The viking border people Comparing ******* And slapping bellies While giving dheagh shlainte. They've plundered their last village; It's been a while since they protected the walls While sleep sets in. They raid the pubs, Raise a glass shield, Weild a shot glass Singing shlainte, The dragon ships have sailed.

Border Vikings of Scotland
I've been at hundreds of funerals Standing beside Fathers Soon to be posted to Peru Or to missions for black African babies. They'd sprinkle caskets like Spring rains, Burn incense to smudge the dead With rising smoke signals. Sounding the advance. I witnessed pain in the front pews, The kneelers with thin cushioning. I prayed fervently for a whosh of wind To sweep behind me, Billow my soutane,   And lift the lid; Prayed for the candle flame to flare, For the body to rise As Rathgar did. He was a faker. Not like what I saw. Up close. On Friday mornings.

Viking Grave
The great bird is conceived in a glistening eye a mythical wonder waiting to be formed coiled in patience under palest skin waiting to unfurl its majestic wings a cold steel blade unlocks its cage blood must flow to bring it life its freedom found in fragmented bone the bars that block its sight are pulled back hands reach into the great cavern grasping the wings to set them free at last in splendour and magnificent awe the blood eagle is seen to take flight and soar

Blood Eagle
We plyed our oars as we sweeped across the surf, our ships skimming the water with ease, we seized towns, plundered fishing ports, sacked cities, we worshipped the great Odin, in his hall in Asgard, All for what? We did this, so we might go to Valhalla, the last revelry.

We fought
Listen My skin glistens The sweat drips ~n~ I feel the motion The rise of my emotions The tingle in the spine Expands in time Engulfing my muscles With adrenaline, hustle **** reason Incite treason Don’t back down Don’t turn aroun’ Introduced, an obstacle Beat it like a rock, unstoppable Heart, rhythm, momentum Breath, flex, go get ‘em Never rest, There is no success As soon as you think you won, Something hits your chest So stand up, strong This fight is gunna last long In 1 second, You could be gone ViKing By GeoEthE
