The Song of Valen

I carry the blood of Vikings A Norse woman have proven to be the same blood my ancestral father warmed With mead for he set off to sea Should I be conquered or defenses laid low Is not from the hand of another worry not of this norwegian Taught survival at the teat of her mother There is no situation so dire Can't dream myself from it's shore For my friend I am a Viking And will be evermore......... Note to reader Valen translated means shallows ironically a name I embrace though it's essence a place that bores me to tears.Small talk right up there with a root canal.
