Around the fire, the Vikings gathered tight <br />To share their stories in the winter night <br />Bards and poets, weaving tales of old <br />Their words like silver, shining bright and bold <br /><br />They spoke of battles and of mighty gods <br />Of heroic deeds and winter's icy odds <br />Their words were magic, casting spells of wonder <br />Binding the clan as they sat in thunder <br /><br />Communication flowed in the flickering light <br />As they laughed and cried through the long winter night <br />Their stories warmed them in the cold and gloom <br />And bound their souls in the fire's ancient fume <br /><br />So as the snow fell and the wind did blow <br />The Vikings found solace in the tales they'd know <br />And through the power of their words and song <br />They faced the winter, courageous and strong.
