By the fire's gleam 
The skald lies asleep 
But still his tales 
Dance within the flames 
He told me all of time long gone 
of four warriors proud in legendary shroud 
By the fire's gleam
The skald lies asleep 
But still his tales 
Dance within the flames 
Tales of the gods and fairy folk 
Long forgotten now from all 
Tell me skald 
Praise with thy fiddle 
All the things you saw 
When in viking times 
Dragons rules the north
In the viking times 
Thor's silver chariot 
Rode on clouds sky-borne
By the fire's gleam 
The skald lies asleep 
But still his tales 
Dance within the flames 
In the viking times 
A tale now unfolds 
So keep it in your heart 
Least it may go
In the viking times 
Upon the rainbow's end 
Heimdall I met 
The guardian of Bifrost
In the viking times 
A tale now unfolds 
So keep it in your heart 
Least it may go
In the viking times 
And far, far away 
In the north of yesterday 
Singing with the boreal gale
Tales of gods and fairy folk 
Long forgotten now from all 
Tell me skald 
Praise with thy fiddle 
All the things you saw 
When in viking times 
Dragons rules the north
In the viking times 
Thor's silver chariot 
Rode on clouds sky-borne
By the fire's gleam 
The skald lies asleep 
But still his tales 
Dance within the flames 
In the viking times 
A tale now unfolds 
So keep it in your heart 
Least it may go
In the viking times 
Upon the rainbow's end 
Heimdall I met 
The guardian of Bifrost
In the viking times 
A tale now unfolds 
So keep it in your heart 
Least it may go
In the viking times 
And far, far away 
In the north of yesterday 
Singing with the boreal gale
In the viking times 
A tale now unfolds 
So keep it in your heart 
Least it may go
In the viking times 
And far, far away 
In the north of yesterday
