Father to Son

Father to son, father to son

Father to son, from father to sonNow born, my son, I name thee

After the sound of my hammer's

Beat upon the anvil

On this chilly springtime dayThe hammer child of my flesh

Of my blood to carry on

When I have reached Oden's end

Of my glorious warrior's trailFrom father to son

From father to sonCall upon the spirits of our fathers

Long time gone with thunder

Ask them for truth and courage

When trouble's in your wayLearn to read and understand

The signs to few can clearly vision

Listen carefully to what

The ravens has to sayOh, the thunder's roar

Greetings from our fathers long time gone

Tell so that no one ever will forget

Feel the powers of the hammer's pounding on

Before my corpse is turning pale

To grab my sword, hold it to the sky

And call out my hailListen for the sound of bronze horns

Watch the lightning strike then
