Lyrics

I see a dark sail on the horizon Set under a black cloud that hides the sun Bring me my broadsword and clear understanding Bring me my cross of gold as a talisman Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing Take women and children and bed them down Bring me my broadsword and clear understanding Bring me my cross of gold as a talisman Bless with a hard heart and those who surround me Bless the women and children, who firm our hands Put our backs to the north wind, hold fast by the river Sweet memories to drive us on for the motherland I see a dark sail on the horizon Set under a black cloud that hides the sun So bring me my broadsword and clear understanding Bring me my cross of gold as a talisman So bring me my broadsword and a cross of gold as a talisman
