    This song inspired me while listening to it a few times (okay, many times). Just felt it needed..more lines? This will probably never be seen and thats fine. I enjoyed writing them :)
    Verse 1
    My mother told me
    Someday I will buy
    Galley with good oars
    Sail to distant shores
    Stand up on the prow
    Noble barque I steer
    Steady course to the haven
    Hew many foe-men, hew many foe-men
    Verse 2
    My mother told me
    That I will never bow,
    Standing tall and proud,
    The warhorn calls a-loud
    Banners on the height,
    Kinsmen show no fear,
    Steady course to the haven,
    Hew many foe-men, hew many foe-men
    Verse 3
    My mother told me,
    Someday I'll be King,
    Armies to fight wars,
    Taking distant shores
    Seated on my throne,
    Kingdoms come to kneel,
    Steady course to the haven,
    Hew many foe-men, hew many foe-men
    Verse 4
    My mother told me,
    Someday I would fall
    Those who claim my life,
    Will pay a heavy price
    Raven wings shall guide me
    Ancestral calls I hear
    Steady course for the haven,
    Hew many foe-men, hew many foe-men
    Verse 5
    My mother told me,
    Someday I would die
    On a Galley set aflame,
    The world recalls my name
    To Odin's halls I'll sail,
    In Valhalla, past the Veil
    Steady course to the haven,
    Hew many foe-men, hew many foe-men..

    "Thus counselled my mother,
    For me should they purchase
    A galley and good oars
    To go forth a-roving.
    So may I high-standing,
    A noble barque steering,
    Hold course for the haven,
    Hew down many foemen."

      @@Sindraug25 I know that's what you meant, that's why I said no offense intended. And indeed it's an enjoyable show. Don't mind me, I'm just one of those more serious about this stuff. My family is of Norse descent and my mother adorned me with the hammer of Thor, which I have not taken off ever. We celebrate the original Norse Blots, we offer up to our beloved Gods, complete with make up and leaves in our hair. We despise Christians and their original sin, and everything they took from us. We congregate with other Europeans that follow the old ways. We have music festivals and many other events where we celebrate our religion. SO, when we see a guy like Uthred, who (apparently) is not a Christian because of his Danish upbringing etc. and who is living in that time, we find him seriously, I mean SERIOUSLY lacking. In following his tradition and in his whole attitude. No Norseman or Dane would be so Christian minded. But anyway. It's a nice show. But I like Vikings better.
