A Hearth Companion's Pride (bonus track)

from Deep Into Time (2014 re​-​issue with bonus track) by Forefather

lyrics

Oaths they did swear, devotion they gave
To fight for their lord and strive for his aims
Feast in his halls, share in his wealth
Ride by his banner for good or for ill
Companions in life, to serve and defend
Strengthen his will across the domain
Plunder to win, honour to earn
With wyrd on their side a mighty scop's fame

A war band’s bond is true and iron-strong
To serve their master till their lives are done
Charging into battle side by side
None can take away a hearth-companion's pride

Eager for glory, hardened by war
The young and the old united in cause
Power of youth, the wisdom of time
Struggling together, united in mind
Service to give, oath-gifts to gain
A bond of allegiance twixt Theoden and Thegn
Boasts to be yelled, the death of a foe
Fight to the death or suffer the shame
