This is one from back in 2015
On tracing my ancestry years ago, and finding that I was predominantly Norwegian Viking, it inspired my imagination so much , and led me to write this sad tale of an ill fated love affair between a Nordic Viking beauty and her Anglo Saxon lover .
I initially uploaded a simple version with me and the trusty guitar, but it was Perplexia X who asked if he could add his magic to the song and created this stunning video
. Sadly, i don't think he is on Youtube any longer, but i will always be grateful for his kindness in the production of this.
Thank you as always for watching and listening:)
LYRICS
The wolf called to me with a pure crystal sound
As I saw your spirit leave me behind
My hand dragged the earth, where death was now found
And love spilt in battles blood, lies in ashes on the ground
And the call of my kindred ,beckons as they sing,
As I venture on the voyage, back with the kings
The raven looked on with blackened, telling eyes
The wind howled your name, and I heard your sighs
And I prayed that my breath would give life anew
As the hollow of the hornpipe took my heart from you
And the call of my kindred beckons as they sing,
As i venture on the voyage back with the kings.
The moon cast her shadow , on the ripples of the sea
And I saw the face that had once smiled at me
And I take your heart with me with our sacred ring
To wear and to cherish. In the land of my kings
