Son of Deed
The first stave (stanza) is repeated
as the Burden (chorus)
Thor, Son of Deed, Mighty Do-er
Your name has spread, across Midgarth
Thor Odinsson, Will to His Wit
Innangard's Fist, Worlds' Traveler
Black storm clouds rise, thunderclaps roll
Asa Thor rides, Ettins to slay
Mankind's Old Friend, guarding the Weal
Strength in action, as we should be
Thor of the North, common man's friend
Fighting Ettins, with Mjollnir
Swiftly it strikes, just like a bolt
Out of the blue, brightly, then gone
- Burden -
Stories in Lore, tell of his deeds
Stout warrior, hearty and hale
Fist to the fore, striking the foes
Of Asgard's tribes, and of all Life
Hammer and gloves, broad brazen belt
Protecting Folk, from ill intent
Strength upon strength, power for right
Quickly He strikes, always does act
- Burden -
Gold lightning flash, crosses blue sky
Nary a cloud, is within sight
What could this be, this spark above
Fault in my eyes, or other thing
Without a storm, on a cool day
How can this be, lightning bolt thrown
Nature teasing, Godly message
The latter I, do think calmly
- Burden -
Lesson I think, is to Act Now
Strive always to, do what is right
Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose
But overall, we build the Good
Black storm clouds rise, thunderclaps roll
Asa Thor rides, Ettins to slay
Mankind' Old Friend, guarding the Weal
Strength in action, as we should be
- Burden -
