The Saxon Shore Raiders came, from the sea from the whale's path Reivers, destroyers Defilers of the sacred! Seeking silver, gold and blood Red sailed dragons glide From the seal's bath to the golden strand Goose-fletched arrows flew Mail piercing, thrusting spears Bearded berserkers bearing bearded axes Shield shattering, skull cleaving Death bringing, doom delivering! This time we met them! Shield to shield Spear to spear Axe to axe Blow for blow Sword for sword Cut for cut Blood for blood Without remorse We made widows, created orphans Sent dark souls to Hel or Valhalla Severed heads and hewed Norse limbs Washed their boots in Nordic blood Shields were riven by our anger And anger drove our battle zeal Longships burned, oars lay broken, Ashes on the ebbing tide Vikings fed the crabs and crows Weapons fell to rot and rust This day may be forgotten Our fallen heroes unremembered Burial mounds flattened by relentless years But the land remains, the Saxon shore

about

Hiraeth is a Welsh word, hard to translate, meaning a spiritual longing for a home which maybe never was, a nostalgia for ancient places to which we can never return. It is the echo of lost stories, our ancestral memory. It is in the wind, the rocks, the waves, the deep forests. It is nowhere and it is everywhere.
