Skagul Rides With Me

(album: The Great Heathen Army - 2022)

Countless times I've gone to war
"War" is the kenning I have earned
My name is known in legend and lore
Never once my luck has turned

To distant foreign shores I have sailed
Winning fame and gold
Where lesser men before have failed
I have conquered all

Always fought the odds
I have turned the tides
Favoured by the Gods
Fortune's on my side
In battle or in fray
Through storms of steel
I've never backed away
Skagul rides with me

Forever in my blood
To travel far and wide
I'm favoured by the Gods
Fortune's on my side
No matter what the odds say
I'm sure of victory
I'll never back away
Skagul rides with me

The autumn storms crash in on shore
And leaves fall to the ground
I will ride the waves once more
To this hearth, I won't be bound

To distant foreign shores I will sail
And fight for fame and gold
Where lesser men before have failed
I will conquer all

Always fought the odds
I have turned the tides
Favoured by the Gods
Fortune's on my side
In battle or in fray
Through storms of steel
I've never backed away
Skagul rides with me

Forever in my blood
To travel far and wide
I'm favoured by the Gods
Fortune's on my side
No matter what the odds say
I'm sure of victory
I'll never back away
Skagul rides with me
