Music
& Lyrics: MICHAEL M. JUNG
WHEN THE NIGHT FALLS DOWN IN THE GREEN GREEN LAND
AND THE MOON IS RISING UP
THERE IS A MAN ON THE TOWER STANDING ALONE
WATCH THE CLOUDS PASS BY
HE’S AFRAID OF THE DARK CAUSE HE KNOWS THE TRUTH
THAT THE VIKINGS ARE NOT FAR
AND HE STILL CAN SEE THE MISERY
AND A TEARS ROLLS DOWN HIS CHEEK
ON THE NEXT DAY HE JUST TOOK HIS MAID BY THE HAND
AND BADE FAREWELL
HE’S TIRED TO FIGHT HE’S TIRED TO STAND
ALL THE EVIL IN HIS LAND
SO HE LEFT HIS HOME ON A SHIP THAT DAY
TO ESCAPE THE WAR AND PAIN
BUT HE’S STILL AFRAID WHAT THE FUTURE BRINGS
AND HE HELD HIS LASSIE TIGHT
AS WEEKS ARE GONE AND THE SEA WAS QUIET
AND THE SUN WAS BURNING DOWN
HIS MAID GOT SICK AND THE CAPTAIN SAID
THAT THEY ALL MIGHT DIE IN VAIN
LIKE AN ARROW ON WOOD HIS HEAD WAS HIT
AS HE SAW HIS LASSIE DIE
AND HE SWORE TO GOD THAT HE WON’T FORGET
THAT THE VIKINGS KILLED HIS LOVE
LIKE A MIRACLE HE WAS COMING BACK
AND HE USED HIS WEAPON WELL
AND IT ONLY TOOK SOME LAZY YEARS
‘TIL THE OLD MEN START TO TELL
ABOUT THE MAN WHO FORGOT HIS DESTINY
AND LOST HIS LOVE SO SAD
THATS HOW HE LEARNED HIS LESSON WELL’
THATS HOW A LEGEND STARTS
