I'm sorry about this.......

But if you're a fan of The Vikings , look away now

My Mother told me,
One day I would buy.
A ton of good ores,
And smelt them in the forge.
Craft a fine axe,
A coat of noble steel.
Stand shoulder to my brethren.
Hew many foemen,
Hew many foemen.

Ha! That's awesome!

.. now I'm wishing for a Clamavi de Profundis rendition.

We're on the same page Forge! I actually rewrote it for a bardic contest sometime back but decided not to enter.

My mother told me
One day I would buy
Drakkar with good oars
Sail to distant shores

Stand on the prow
Noble ship I steer
Steady course to the harbour
Hew many foemen
Hew many foemen

My mother told me
Boar crest I shall wear
Byrnie she foretold
Armrings made of gold

Hearth troop I shall lead
Steadfast men and true
Generous gold giver
Hew many foemen
Hew many foemen

My mother told me
A sword I will have made
Golden is its hilt
Patterned is its blade

Forged out of memory
Sword of ancient lord
Long in the hoard once hidden
Hew many foemen
Hew many foemen

My mother told me
One day I must die
On the battle field
Fall beneath my shield

Still I join the sword play
No foe will I fear
The raven calls above me
Hew many foemen
Hew many foemen

Eofor: Yours is better......
