Skaldic Art lyrics

By the fire's gleam The skald lies asleep But still his tales Dance within the flames He told me of time long gone Of warriors proud in legendary shroud Of gods and fairy folk Forgotten now from all In the viking times A tale now unfolds So keep it in your heart Least it may go! In the viking times Upon the rainbow's end Heimdall I met The guardian of Bifrost! Tell me skald Praise with thy fiddle All the things you saw When in viking times Dragons rules the north! In the viking times Thor's silver chariot Rode on clouds sky-borne! In the viking times A tale now unfolds So keep it in your heart Least it may go! In the viking times And far, far away In the north of yesterday Singing with the boreal gale!
