We just live
Without a mind for the past
Or knowing a place
We surrender therein
The memories that last
My ancestors were Vikings
People called them names
Scourge of the North men
An inheritance of DNA
Flesh breathes the legacy
They were explorers
Feared throughout history
Riding dragon prowed ships
Cutting through the seas
Dangerous was their path
Propelled by winds and oar
They reached the far shores
Watchers raised warnings
As the Vikings approached
Quietly, inexorably
Dragons pushed quickly
Gliding through the waves
The Vikings took up arms
Survival the war waged
Their beings forged in steel
Called the Northern Storm
Nothing stood in their way
Nor withstood their rage
