Lyrics

And in the grass we burned them
Broken bones and rafters
The moon dancing in our eyes
Sleeping in the longship
Silver coins and riches
A salt wave washed against the hull
And we sing the songs our fathers did
And we carry all their hopes
Yeah, we sing the songs our fathers did
And we carry all their hopes
Landed on a new land
Pushed shields to the castle
The sun danced along my axe
A soothsayer warned us homeward
No good will meet you here
Vultures' feathers flood the floor
And we sing the songs our fathers did
And we carry all their hopes
Yeah, we sing the songs our fathers did
And we carry all their hopes
They'll write songs of us
The poet, the ravens
They'll write songs of us
The mountains, the heavens
They'll write songs of us
The poet, the ravens
They'll write songs of us
The mountains, the heavens
And we sing the songs our fathers did
Yeah, we sing the songs our fathers did
