What Glory Remains - Folkearth

What Glory Remains - Folkearth
Oft I have seen
Many a brilliant star to fade
And night came creeping in
To usurp that once shinning place
Long ago I was a mariner
A Viking conqueror
I sailed far with Erik the Red
And a hundred brave men
What glory remains
Of these ancient days
What songs will be sung
In the days to come
What glory remains
Of these ancient days
What songs will be sung
In the days to come
Under hostile skies I have slept
On the heardrest of the sword
And dreamt of past glories long
Now gone forevermore
I saw the fire that burns within
The mystic caverns of Thule;
I journeyed to a world forlorn
Where shades weep forevermore
What glory remains
Of these ancient days
What songs will be sung
In the days to come
What songs will be sung
In the days to come
