Folkearth - Lord of the Spear

By the rune stone he stands
A lone wanderer from afar
Wolves gathered round in packs:
Poetry he chants
Weaving magic strands.

Lord of the spear
Welcome to our land
Our hospitality for a god;
Pray tell us where you’ve been
Storyteller, wise one.

(And the Raven God recounts many a saga)

Under a roof of gold
With the rainbow forever in sight
Dwell warriors bold
They taste the mead of the wind
Always loud they sing:
When in the sky
Wild thunder strikes
Thy ravens come again!

“One eyed god, Father mighty of all,
With swords upraised to the crystal dome
Of a sky wherein thy ravens fly
We’re so proud, so strong, forever free!”

God of poets, God of magic
From your breath the four winds blow
From your eyes the eternal flame flows
From your lips the oath of fire is sealed!

“Woden, I am your true son and heed honor’s call! I fight for thee and in thy name shed blood and bane! Vidurr the destroyer – Master of havoc, unrivaled warrior! Hnikarr the inflamer – ride above the sea dragon slayer! Sigfodr, father of victory – Thine gifts I seek on the battlefield tonight! Yggr – Terror of Frankia and Eastern men, conquer all the world!”

In this star enarmored night
We raise our horns – salute the sky!

When in the sky
Wild thunder strikes
Thy raven’s come again!
