Swan Road Saga Lyrics

Here and now, we make our stand
against the wind, toward new sand
through misty fens I retrace my step
to find hall of ages amiss

white crown-ed waves, lapping the shore
on sands of the west, we shall wage our war
dragonships cleaving the seas they bestride
valiant Geat, King of the tides

O, son of Ecgtheow
Champion for Danes
cross the vast waters
to slay the beast
grasp your sword
defend our hall
alone you stand
glorious hero of lore

Grieving the lost, battle-brave thanes
hewn by the claw, lives lost in vain
boldness in heart, steel in hand
quench thirst for blood of this land

Fiery eyes gleam up from the moor
at fates command, ye weild the sword
harpstrings have sung the legend and lay
Eons untold shall recall this day

The claw of woe, by bare hands torn
symbol of hope, sheer might of man
hero born of distant land
with might of Oak, iron grip his hand
