about

A good old marching song!

This one was written fairly quickly, it just all seemed to fit together nicely.
Very quickly a Fianna Favourite it became a bit of a 'call and response' song, with myself singing the first part of the lines in the chorus and the Fianna finishing the line!

A good one to hear en masse, and there was a guilty twinge of pleasure marching into the Wolves camp singing it after watching them leave the field, broken and beaten at the Gathering, 1107

lyrics

(chorus)
Fear us! – We are Odin’s Children!
Watch our fire burn the sky!
Leave the field -Flee the battle!
Stay and you will surely die!
(repeat)

Steel on flesh and blood on metal,
hammers fall to shatter bones!
Perish all who stand against us!
Take their land and burn their home!

There are none who can defeat us!
Many tried – but all have failed!
Fear and panic overawe them
when they see the Longships sail!

(choris)

See what will be loosed upon you -
Spears of women – Swords of men!
Axes, lances, bows and hammers
send you to your gods again!

Call them ‘fool’ who stand before us,
only fools would dare to stay!
Run and hide where none can follow
and you may survive this day!

(chorus)

Who are we to dare defeat you?
Who are we to lay you low?
Who are we to send you running?
Who – The undesired foe?

We - the Ragh Hrafen Fianna!
Fighters bold and warriors all!
Rally at the will of Odin!
Rally to the raven’s call!

(chorus x2 to end )
