Heathen Foray

F#5 G5

[Verse 1]

F#5                               
In ancient times once rode across 
      G5
the land
F#5                   D5      E5
A man unknown on a horse of 
      F#5
untold grand,
F#5                     G5    E5
Adorned his cape by thirty runes
       F#5
 of gold
   F#5                    D5     
Of whom the tales since ages 
E5     F#5
unknown told

[Verse 2]

F#5                               G5
The man arrived at the shore of sea
F#5                         E5
And gazed onto the nightly sky,
F#5                            
His ears could hear and his eyes 
         G5
could see
F#5                        E5    
Two ravens dark as night passing 
   G5
by

[Verse 3]

F#5                             G5
In a distance far the thunder sounds
F#5                               
And lightnings reached the frozen 
  E5
grounds,
F#5                          
His breath ran fast, his heart 
            G5
pounded strong
F#5                           E5 
As the day now came, awaited oh 
     G5
so long

[Verse 4]

F#5                               
Tears will fall and blood will 
      G5
soon be shed
F#5                          D5  
When the dawn heralds the 
    E5      F#5
twilight of the day
F#5          G5               E5
Then into battle they will ride 
              F#5
with their swords in hand
F#5    D5      E5     F#5
For a heathenish foray

[Verse 5]

F#5                               
Countless miles he rode through 
                 G5
ice and knee-deep snow
     F#5                           
Over mountains 'till the landscape 
              E5
changed its face
          F#5                    
So he at last arrived where winds 
                   G5
blew strong and chill
      F#5                          
Like a welcome to all those who 
          E5     G5
trod this place

[Verse 6]

F#5                               
He in cape was wrapped, and with 
                        G5
his hammer 'round his neck
F#5                               
He forced his way though he didn't
           E5
 saw the path,
F#5                               
But he did not rest, 'till he had 
                      G5
crossed this land of chill
F#5                               
And the storm had calmed, when he 
          E5      G5
stood alone on hill

[Verse 7]

F#5                         
His eyes could see the forest 
            G5
shining bright
F#5                        
And its trees reflected solens 
D5     E5      F#5
golden light,
F#5                       G5      
The sound of horns then reached 
 E5   F#5
his ears
F#5                  D5    E5   
To welcome him and take away his
    F#5
 fears

[Verse 8]

F#5                               
From all their lands the kings, 
    G5
they came
F#5                               E5
With their retinue of countless men,
F#5                               
And the maiden in full armour sat 
          G5
on their horses,
F#5                E5        G5
Winged, until the right began

[Verse 9]

F#5                               
So he rested a while an recovered 
           G5
from his ride,
F#5                               
The horizon gleamed by the mighty 
           E5
northers light,
F#5                               
And the elder ones sang tales 
       G5
about the past,
F#5                               
Of their ancestors pride, that 
      E5    G5
will forever last

[Verse 10]

F#5                               
As the darkness fell and gone was 
        G5
solens light
F#5                            D5
The silence ruled amongst the men
      E5       F#5
 of heathenpride,
F#5                     G5
Who now gathered in a mighty 
      E5     F#5
battle-line
F#5                        D5    
And awaited their gods to give 
    E5      F#5
the final sign

[Verse 11]

F#5                               
Tears will fall and blood will 
      G5
soon be shed
F#5                          D5  
When the dawn heralds the 
    E5      F#5
twilight of the day
F#5          G5               E5
Then into battle they will ride 
              F#5
with their swords in hand
