Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hoist the oars
Salt on my tongue
Storm in my chest
My saga just begun (hey!)
Red hair burning
Steel at her side
She laughs at the thunder
And walks with the tide
[Chorus]
Sing
Shield maiden
Sing for me
Over black waves
Wild and free
Drums like hearts in the hollow land
Your voice and mine
Echo over salt and sand (oh-oh)
Echo over salt and sand
[Verse 2]
Ravens are circling
High over foam
Wind tastes of iron
And smoke from home
She lifts her spear
And dares the sky
“Live while we breathe
We’ll rest when we die”
[Chorus]
Sing
Shield maiden
Sing for me
Over black waves
Wild and free
Drums like hearts in the hollow land
Your voice and mine
Echo over salt and sand (hey!)
Echo over salt and sand
[Bridge]
[Flute and violin answer each other
Distant and eerie]
Call of the hills
Cry of the shore
Old voices riding the wind
Once more
I roar like thunder
You rise like flame
Two battle-songs
One name
[Chorus]
Sing
Shield maiden
Sing for me
Over black waves
Wild and free
Laugh at the dark till the dark turns pale
Our names ride far
On the wandering gale
Sing
Shield maiden
Stand your ground
I’ll meet your cry with a war-born sound
Drums and voices
Sea and land
Your voice and mine
Echo over salt and sand (oh-oh)
Echo over salt and sand

Style
Rousing folk-rock with male and female vocals trading lines; driving floor-tom and frame drum groove, bright fiddle leads answering a smoky sax line, low war-chant harmonies and bold shield-maiden hooks. Occasional eerie, distant native flute phrases drift in the reverb like wind over cliffs, building from sparse verse into a roaring, anthemic final chorus., saxophone, native american, strong, violin
