*This song about the Viking way of life and death is based on and to the tune of “Gravity” by Sara Bareilles.
Something always brings back to you
It never takes too long
Across oceans, mountains, forests too
I still find you here, gotta prove that I’m strong
Throwing axe in my clutch
spilling bowls and brains
I never wanted anything so much
than to drown in my blood
honourably slain
Set me free, brave I’ll be. I don’t want fall
this day without taking them down with me
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I’m supposed to be.
But they outnumber me, and surround me
You love me because I’m agile
with sword and prong
but you choke me with this bile
even before they are drawn
Set me free, brave I’ll be. I don’t want fall
this day without taking them down with me
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I’m supposed to be.
But they outnumber me, and surround me
I live here in the breeze, at your decree
Shield wall will earn me mead
here on the ground.
You’re where I face my foe
can’t seem to let that go.
The one thing that I still know is
You’ll make me renown
You’ll make me renown, yeah, yeah, yeah
They’re on to me, on to me, and all over me…
Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long
