lyrics

Drawn slowly you shine,
hold close to your heart,
You stand in the fire light
You dazzle your blade bright
Singing your sword song
Singing your sword song

I am drawn to your fireside
Hold close to your heart
I hear all your stories
And bask in your glories
Singing your sword song
Singing your sword song

Hawkspeed, gathering storm, Keep the fire burning, in battle your stronger
Hawkspeed, gathering storm, Keep the fire burning, returning you home,
Keep the fire burning for singing sword song,
Singing your sword song, singing your sword song

Your strong build and tall,
Hold close to your heart
Eyes flash in the firelight,
Sparks fly on the dark night
Singing your sword song
Singing your sword song

Your sword is your passage,
Hold close to your heart,
And in battle you fight well,
Chasing enemies to hell
Singing your sword song
Singing your sword song

Hawkspeed, gathering storm, Keep the fire burning, in battle your stronger
Hawkspeed, gathering storm, Keep the fire burning, returning you home,
Keep the fire burning for singing sword song,
Singing your sword song, singing your sword song

Will you fight til you die,
Hold close to your heart
Cut down in the battle,
Then to burn on the pyre
Singing your sword song
Singing your sword song

Men bold, brave and tough
Hold close to your heart
Come fight down the ages,
Singing your sword song
Singing your sword song

Hawkspeed, gathering storm, Keep the fire burning, in battle your stronger
Hawkspeed, gathering storm, Keep the fire burning, returning you home,
Keep the fire burning for singing sword song,
Singing your sword song, singing your sword song
Singing your sword song, singing your sword song
Singing, singing, singing, singing your sword song
Singing your sword song.
