To stand for a time in the Drighten's Hall
With the thegns and jarls of my hearth
Still the air, warm the fire
In the land where the Gods had their birth
Sing proud skald of elder times
Of deeds by hero and foe
Earn your keep, o gifted skald
For tomorrow your words may slow
To learn for a time in the Drighten's Hall
While the thegns and jarls chant runes
Still the air, warm the fire
In the land where Gods call the tune
Sing proud skald of elder times
Of deeds by hero and foe
Earn your keep, o gifted skald
For tomorrow your words may slow
To feast for a time in the Drighten's Hall
With the thegns and jarls at their play
Still the air, warm the fire
In the land where the Gods hold sway
Sing proud skald of elder times
Of deeds by hero and foe
Earn your keep, o gifted skald
For tomorrow your words may slow
To love for a time in the Drighten's Hall
Where the thegns nad jarls make their boasts
Still the air, warm the fire
In the land where the Gods heed our toasts
Sing proud skald of elder times
Of deeds by hero and foe
Earn your keep, o gifted skald
For tomorrow your words may slow
To dream for a time in the Drighten's Hall
As the thegns and jarls sleep on
Still the air, cold the fire
In the land where the Gods rule on
