Fenr/ir's Prophe/t

[intro [drum and bass solo] [verse] A baneful comet from the Bear Flamed in the northern sky; It summoned sinful men to prayer, [bridge x2] It summoned Svend to die. [chorus] Beneath its influence malign The pole star sickly grew; Too well the meaning of the sign The aged viking knew. [verse] Before his birth a warlock wise Thus had his fate foretold To that fair girl with noonday eyes And hair of sunset gold, [verse 2] Who, haply lingering in the bay To watch the turning tide, From home and kin was rapt away To be a robber's bride. [piano solo] [chorus] Beneath its influence malign The pole star sickly grew; Too well the meaning of the sign The aged viking knew. [verse] So wandering on the waves afar Shall rove his homeless crew; The Wolf that guards the northern star Shall be hIS GUARDIan too. [chorus] But when the Wolf with fiery breath The star shall dare consume, Then let his spirit look for death, And meet the appointed doom [outro]
