She the shield maiden
Hair of black and shaved both sides,
Like a long flat Mohican
She wears warrior clothes with pride,
She the shield maiden
Standing on the mountain side,
Looks at all her longboats
Fill with men who for her,
They are willing to give all their lives
Full of Icelandic Viking pride,
They sail their ships far and wide
To fight and they are wild,
No more so than the shield maiden
Who always fights at their sides,
And you can see the passion
In her beautiful but deadly eyes,
And silver is their valued prize
And when they begin to fight,
She uses both her sword and shield
To defend herself so she won’t die,
She fights like an animal wild
She the shield maiden,
Full of Icelandic Viking pride.
