Cold Blood Leaving my family behind me Not knowing what lay ahead Lying in bondage, I left them in tears Remembering all we’d said I looked to the sky, I offered my prayers I asked for guidance and strength But the simple beliefs of a simple girl Lay in my hands, and on my head I […]

The Hand of Reifnir – Herewulf’s Lay
Lords in Darkness Twelve Lords in Darkness Lie, All of Danemark, and I, Under a black and sunless sky, The third beneath the hill. === Cold we lie below the soil, Resting now beyond all toil, Under a black and sunless sky, The third beneath the hill. === Summoned by an evil mind, Galdor and […]
Sambor’s Slave Pen – Herewulf’s Lay
Farewell Gefyndene Sing me a song of a lad that is gone, Say, could that lad be I? Sombre of soul he sailed on a day Over the sea to War. Home was astern, White Sea on the port, War on the starboard bow; Glory of youth glowed in his soul; Where is that glory […]
Beneath Ekethorp – Herewulf’s Lay
A Song for Anya You can run on for a long time Run on for a long time Run on for a long time Sooner or later Geats will cut you down Sooner or later Geats will cut you down Go tell that long tongue liar Go and tell that midnight rider Tell the rambler, […]

First falls Forkhaven’s witchy crew As Geats arrive with heavy blows We free the slaves and our band grew Where goes their fleet ? No-one knows. Then to Sicvarp […]
Sicvarp and the Nicors’ Lair – Herewulf’s Lay
Swimming in the Sunless Sea At twilight two places stand there empty Watchmen taken by Wights so stealthy For foul Nicors haunt the Sicvarp shore. ** The Thane calls for hunters grim For into darkness all must swim With amulets made by priestly lore. ** The Thane […]
The Defence of Forchafn – Herewulf’s Lay
The Witch’s Lament There’s a Man coming round – He’s taking names For Valhalla calls the Eowan home. And the Whirlwind is in the thorn tree. Voices calling, voices crying Some are torn, some are dying Hear the horn and hear the pipers When the Man comes around. There’s a Bowman coming round – […]
The Long Haul – Herewulf’s Lay
To War O come ye here the fight to shun ? Or herd the sheep wi’ me man? Or were ye at Gefendene When the arrow came man ? *** Now all the district hears the call The fyrd gathers at the hall From a’ around came the hardy Wi’ bonnet, belt and swordie *** […]
