To Now Sharpen the Blade On Wet Flint

The mead warmed the belly

The songs eased the mind

The frown lines disappeared 

The friends lost in battle!

Earned a salute to be cheered

Boots with soles worn thin

Cuts left to heal in the wind

To now sharpen the blade on wet flint

To make ready to fight for the new fu#king King!
