Sceaweres
Foundation.
Mixing Old English within the 21st Century.
Titul:
Sceaweres
(An all ana voice hwisprian's)
For although our pæþe
Are divided by Wyrd
By The Great In-Betweonum
Also viewed as Destiny or Fate
By our Andsaca's
Enemies
Vultures and lions
Which Scyttan
Hydan
In The Great Ether
Restless
Unseen
And with great Hungor
Ravenous
Just outside our Godcundlic Gates
Ours is a sacred Treowa
One
No fowl creatures knoweth
And which the vultures, lions and ravenous creatures: filled with Æfestig
And second eyes
Grene
Hath seen
But we will be Sigefæst
So
"Hál wes þú or wes hál"
