He Shall be Remembered

Track 8 of 10 - Keeper of the Northern Shore Some return from battle. Some do not. But those who are lost will never be forgotten. Lyrics: The longship bit the foam Then slipped into the bay Salt on every face Blood the sea still claimed They heard the shore folk cry And saw the children run Wives with lifted skirts In the pale low sun Arms out wide on the sand Names called into the wind Tired men on shaking legs Coming home again He shall be remembered Valhalla took him home He shall be remembered Where shields adorn the hall He shall be remembered In the fire and the foam He shall be remembered Valhalla took him home One woman kept her place At the edge of the crowd Her eyes searched every helm Her heart beat sharp and loud Her hand rested on her belly Round with unborn life The child her husband never knew Kicked hard in the night Laughing to the right of her Weeping to the left Still she watched the landing Holding in her breath He shall be remembered Valhalla took him home He shall be remembered Where shields adorn the hall He shall be remembered In the fire and the foam He shall be remembered Valhalla took him home Then Alessandro came The Jarl with lowered eyes Her husband’s sword in both his hands As silent as the winter sky He laid it in her hands As if the blade could hear And said, “He will be remembered” So the world could bear the year He shall be remembered Valhalla took him home He shall be remembered Where shields adorn the hall He shall be remembered In the child who bears his name He shall be remembered And the sea will tell his tale Credits: Lyrics: Brolly Mountains Music: Created using AI-assisted production tools Artwork: AI-generated, art direction by Brolly Mountains © 2026 Brolly Mountains
