    Hi All,

    I wrote this back in 2005/6 and I'd just like your opinion on this. All feedback welcomed.

    A Viking’s Prayer

    I’m standing on a ship
    Looking out towards the sea,
    Glancing at the waters
    That soon will carry me.

    I hear beating of distant drums
    Coming from the battlefield,
    And the roar of Viking warriors
    Their weapons they won’t yield.

    I hear Valhalla’s call
    Coming yonder from the sky,
    My time will soon be up
    I know then that I must die.

    I call upon mighty Thor
    To be always at my side,
    So that I may fight bravely
    After each oncoming tide.

    Let blood be on my sword
    And let sweat fall from my brow,
    As I go on the battlefield
    To strike my foes down.

    And if I should be last to fall
    Let me die a death with pride,
    Then my children will proudly know
    A hero is how I died.
