Rurik Yarl of Kievan Rus

[Verse] From the mists of Scandinavia, a legend set sail, Rurik the Jarl, with warriors clad in mail, Across the icy waters, their purpose bold and grand, To unite the Slavic tribes, a new and powerful land. [break] [Chorus] Rurik! Rurik! The name that echoes through the ages, A founder, a warrior, turning history's pages, With sword and shield he battled, his legacy remains, The Kievan Rus' he birthed, forever etched in names. [Verse] Novgorod's ancient city, a beacon in the north, Rurik raised his banner, defying any wrath, From Vikings and from Khazars, his forces held their ground, A bulwark 'gainst the chaos, a fortress newly crowned. [Chorus] Rurik! Rurik! The name that echoes through the ages, A founder, a warrior, turning history's pages, With sword and shield he battled, his legacy remains, The Kievan Rus' he birthed, forever etched in names. [break] [bridge] The Varangian guard beside him, axes flashing bright, Defending Kievan Rus' with all their fearless might, From Kyiv to the steppes, his influence did grow, The seeds of a great nation, for all the world to know.
