The Storm Kings
The Storm Kings
They cometh
They bringeth the rain
Thor’s hammer doest pound
again and again
the thunderclaps strong
the lightening bolts strike
the animals shudder
all huddled
with fright
Oh, Odin!
Oh, Odin!
Protect us from harm!
call on the Heros
save our ships
save our farms
For the Jotnar are angry
the Giants are quick
they throw their bolts
at us
the rain comes
too quick
And as we ride out
the rough of the storm
we drink
from the Ale
until it’s
all gone
