[Music & Lyrics Athelstan] Gathered together, the meoduseld shining brightly Cempan and ealdormen, in a drunken dream Among all the riches and relics of many hearth-kin, Foretell unyielding their coming feats and deeds Harp strings, stout-played, sing the praises of many ring-lord Lay of blood-reddened fields, myriad foes cleaved Spear's flight nor sword edge did smash his almighty war-disc Honour did save him for future king to be Oh, they feast in their hallowed halls Ghostly warriors ashen and pale Shadows dance in the light of the flame Gold and majesty, glory and fame Pour from the well, share a toast with our nation's heroes Beauty unheard of will carry us the mead Fortune this night brings a war-leader far across the sea By his hand we may from demon scourge be freed Oh, they feast in their hallowed halls Ghostly warriors ashen and pale Shadows dance in the light of the flame Gold and majesty, glory and fame Oh, they feast in their hallowed halls Ghostly warriors ashen and pale Bold they rode on the crest of a wave Shielded tight in a womb of oak staves From Letras Mania
