Curse of the Swamp

from Dark Traditions by Varanger

/

about

Fun fact: This song is about the origins of Myrrlag, a lag belonging to Jomsborg, and features Myrrlag's very own Jonathan Ortiz in the gang vocals, as well as a lyrically giving a nod to Styrsman Lewis Burzee. Jomsborg is a living history group based around both the combat styles and crafting of Vikings from between 750-1066AD.

lyrics

Hailing from the Swampland
Blackened beasts, we Reign
Blood of Northmen coursing
Through our Viking veins
Wartorn steel is flying
Shattered, bruised we march
Under our Styrsman we stand tall!

Black Wolves with painted Shields
Unwillingness to kneel
Unbroken Brotherhood
Is what we feel

And all the world will know the cry of MYRRLAG!!
A testament to what man is meant to be
The Ancients call to us, we answer willingly
Look in our eyes you'll see who is really free

War and Hearth are standing
Hand in hand and yet
We've still much to learn
Let us not forget
Where we come from; Where we've been
I know that
We will not be here again

Black Wolves with painted Shields
Unwillingness to kneel
Unbroken Brotherhood
Is what we feel

And all the world will know the cry of MYRRLAG!!
A testament to what man is meant to be
The Ancients call to us, we answer willingly
Look in our eyes you'll see who is really free

We've far to go and yet we've come so far
But I promise this dear hearts
We take pride in every scar
Through Storm and Styrs we strive
For all that we're meant to be
Earth will shake as thunder cracks
With Myrrlag there for all to see

And all the world will know the cry of MYRRLAG!!
A testament to what man is meant to be
The Ancients call to us, we answer willingly
Look in our eyes you'll see who is really free
.. The cry of Myrrlag
A testament to what man is meant to be
Dragon Hearts, no peer
Scream it loud my brothers:
... ... ... WE OUT HERE!!!
