Pagan War
We’ve trained tight
It’s a great day for fight
Enemy’s faces seemed ghastly
At last, my sword was getting rusty
Help us in battle, Oh dear Lord
We’ll be heroes; me and my sword
I’ve been praying you daily
Even in enemy territory
I was waiting on my saddle
For the close, bloody battle
Nobody said a word
But Thor cracked the earth
He didn’t let the sun shine
We’ve been waiting this sign
Horses galloped
We’ve followed
They came together; axe, spear and sword
Their houses were fired
‘Cuz they’re faithless and coward
We’ve mounted our horses
Over enemy’s corpses
We, the Pagan heroes won the war
With help of highly majesty: Thor!
In battle I wrote this poem like a bard
Didn’t notice, my sword got wet with enemy’s blood
