lyrics

Born of Flame
Sable wings
Grown this man
Death crows sing

Risen up eclipse the dozen
Boy of stone was born of mother
Running in the dusky hollow
Tenebrous land of ruin and shadow

Bone rough hands upon the axe
Blood of Saxon dancing fast
Metal sings its reticent whisper
Kisses flesh with scant resistance

Solid of bone and boar like heart
Beating like the men at arms
Falcon hand and thorn of tongue
Kings are carved from youth unsung

Steady eyes locked upon their focus
Call of wyrd within his chest
Walking through the hall of victors
Resplendent in Mercian strength

Cyneþrymmes are
Heahþrym
þon Penda Cyning
Heahþrymmes
Penda

Wuldorfæder

Courage of bear erudite as fox
Sharp tooth Serpent strong as ox
Man of land and warrior gods
Breaking chains of thought chest locks

Blew the embers into flames
Fortitude for men he gave
Backs unbent and heads we raised
Dauntless mercians remain

Long eye cast upon the north
Wyrms to kill and paths to walk
Riding into battle and fray
Screams of pain and crimson spray

On they came with swords held high
Nailed one in their hearts and minds
Stout hearted the king did cry
For our blood and gods we die

Suna Pybba suna Cryda suna Cynewald suna Cnebba
Suna Icel suna Eomer Angeltheow suna Offa
Suna Wermund suna Wihtlæg suna Woden

Cyning Sceal Rice Healdon

Rain fell hard as stone from sling
Sky as black as ravens wings
