Dragons in the Sunset - Fire + Ice

Dragons in the sunset

Upon the darkened sea

Sailing through the mists of time

Calling unto me

Ghost ship black and gleaming

Lindens shining bright

Ancient kinsmen call my name

Far off in the night

My heart it stood restless

And I knew not why

Memory’s spark was there

A twinkling of the eye

I heard the thunder and saw the flash

The stormy sky did speak

A voice whispered to my soul:

You are not of the meek

Ways of the eastern stranger

Are not yours to bear

You have heard the raven speak

And seen the eagle’s stare

Battle’s pain and skald’s words

Horn of flowing mead

Steps along the lonely path

Where waits the eight-legged steed

Then I came unto a place

Of trees and running streams

There I saw heaven’s sign

A wheel that did gleam

Reality, then I knew

I had found my kin

Now I sail to that great hall

Upon the fleeting wind

Dragons sailing on the breeze

Black and gleaming beam

The hand upon the steering-board

Has set my spirit free

Lost no more to time and place

For I have seen the land

I have heard the valkyrie’s song

And I’ve touched Odin’s hand
