A Blackened Shield

I see a hammer smashed upon

A burning shield...

Nightfall came to join me

And with it a nameless fear

I ran away through woods of stone

I never felt so alone

Always looking behind

A fear undefined

But I was feeling strong as I see

It's slowly coming into sight

I prepared to fight

With giant leaps it came upon me

To chain my body

To blaze a trail

Through my valour

To take my gods and my freedom away

When eve was fallin' I was almost crawlin' - my fate

was sealed

Desperately I was fighting and untiringly I stroke back

I stood my ground with a blackened shield

Nothing would beat me

Nothing would withstand my grim attack

With my beckoning spear - And a blackened shield

Death is all around me

But at least I am free

Chain my body

And blaze a trail

Through my valour

You won't take my freedom away

Then in the distance o' times tae come

I saw a mon on the Hieland shore

Gaitherin' troops, beatin' drums

Fer freedom tae come
