"Draugr" By Benjamin Hall

"...... Verse 1: Fear not death for the hour of your doom is set and none may escape it.. Better to fight and fall than to live without hope... Better a brief spell of honour than a long rule of shame... here comes the Draugr... Verse 2: Cattle die, kinsmen die, all men are mortal. Words of praise will never perish, nor a noble name... Where you recognize evil, speak out against it, and give no truces to your enemies... Pre-Chorus: You have gone to great lengths to confront me, Draugr... and it won't seem surprising if you do not earn much good fortune from this battle. As I can tell you that you have attained half the strength and manhood allotted to you had you not encountered me... Chorus: Too much ale and a man’s heart is laid open for all to see... When men meet foes in fight, better is stout heart than sharp sword... Fight your foes in the field, nor be burnt in your house.. Fear not death for the hour of your doom is set and none may escape it... It's all when the Draugr comes.. Verse 3: Oftentimes it is not numbers that wins the victory, but those who fare forward with the most vigor... The shorter the sword the greater the need to find a vital joint.. The brave man will and shall fight and win, though no matter how dull his blade may be.. Verse 4: Better to die with honor than live with shame.. When the Draugr comes... Hooo-ohh-oh... When the Draugr comes... Pre-Chorus: You have gone to great lengths to confront me, Draugr... and it won't seem surprising if you do not earn much good fortune from this battle. As I can tell you that you have attained half the strength and manhood allotted to you had you not encountered me... Chorus: Too much ale and a man’s heart is laid open for all to see... When men meet foes in fight, better is stout heart than sharp sword... Fight your foes in the field, nor be burnt in your house.. Fear not death for the hour of your doom is set and none may escape it... It's all when the Draugr comes.. Verse 5: The unwise man is awake all night, worries over and again. When morning rises, he is restless still... A wise man gets going while he still can. If he stays too long, even the brave grow fearful... As the Draugr comes...".
