We’re Absolutely Raven

 

written by Desiree

 

One dawn while you were all in bed

We took flight and almost fled

We flew up and down Latters Lane

We flew up and down and back again

On our flight Slepnir and Odin came to

We raved on and he told us what to do

He said to stay at Airmids’ a while

Stay with Thornbolt and make him smile

So we took a photo for memory to begin

Of the night we rode the lane with Odin

We like it here in our little haven

We like it and we’re absolutely raven.

 

One clear and bright moonlit eve

Munin decided she would take her leave

Back to Odin as she thought it’s time

To say Heil and well met to that friend of mine

Odin and Slepnir were riding high

Straight from a battle were warriors die

The Valkyries came and took the warriors brave

Off to Valhalla and not a watery grave

But to fight again on Ragnork’s day

Where all brave warriors have their say.

Hugin stays at Airmid’s and Thornbolt’s haven

He’s still very happy and he’s absolutely raven

LO THERE I SEE MY FATHER

 

LO THERE I SEE MY MOTHER

 

MY SISTERS AND MY BROTHERS

 

LO,THERE DO I SEE MY PEOPLE

 

BACK TO THE BEGINNING

 

LO, THERE DO THEY CALL TO ME

 

AND BID ME TO TAKE MY PLACE

 

IN THE HALLS OF VALHALLA

 

WHERE THE BRAVE MAY LIVE FOREVER
