Upon the Salisbury Plain face to face
Englishmen eager for home's defence
Shieldwalls woven in tight protection
Guthorm's warriors call to Odin
With voices grumbling
Danes delight in battle always.
'Gainst attack from either side,
Wielding words to frighten foemen.
The gods of war council Vikings:
Each man must valient be
After death, talk recalls deeds
Valkyries gather valiant men
The ravens bark above the din ,
The plain runs red with blood
Shields ring out and split asunder
From either side in equale number.
Warriors fight fearless and strong!
Before the blade his skull bites.
Little is lost for men who fight well
To fight again another day
Vikings men fought fiercely,far from home
On biting sword's and bloody fields,bodies fall |
