Thy Blood

A year has come and gone, my liege has gone from me
Turned deaf ears to my tears, far across the sea
In dark of night I see you lifeless in the mud
No fire now will kindle, evermore to mingle with my blood
In you no fire now will kindle, I nevermore will mingle with thy blood
Unburied and forgotten, slain across the sea
Wafer and wine, the cross divine, taken you away from me
No more to taste your bitter kiss nor through my loins your fire
Hammer and raven, scruff of neck shaven, all that I desire
Wafer and wine, the cross divine, taken you away from me
Sword and mead, your fertile seed have I lost along with thee
Let the voyeurs gather round, carrion crows to dine
You have drunk mead so sweet, blood communion wine
Turned deaf ears to my tears far across the sea
Thou and I have shared our blood, thy seed lives on in me
Wafer and wine, the cross divine taken from me your fire
Glory in war by the hammer of Þórr, all that I now desire
Ride my bride, take my hand, wash your painted hair
Bodies twined, unified, darkened child and fair
Down paths of firelit through in winter cold and white
Or in the twilit hours of drowsy summer's night
You and I tried in sleep to meet each other there
Ebon locks on iv'ry skin, mine were tangled fair
Down a warm and well-worn lane that I hope to taste again
Two children did we stray and sing wise idle thoughts upon many a thing
All the world is full of fools that their own curious language drool
(But not to you and me)
Side by side, a wounded pair, heads together, mingled hair
Hand in hand, to and fro, sworn to watch each other grow (watch each other grow)
Tattooed torque-encircled arms will never hold me now
I will only see of thee what my memory allows
A wind of change blows here now, a new religion for to pave
I've kissed my children, tucked them in and built my barrow grave
Wafer and wine, the cross divine taken from me your fire
Glory in war by the hammer of Þórr, all that I now desire
