Eikbrandr

The song Eikbrandr was created for the bardic competition at Standard Bearers 2008 XVI.

Author: Tyzes Sofia with assistance from Runa Æikibrandskona

I know a knight--brave, strong, and true.
I know a knight... hey! You know him too.
Fearless in battle, quick to retort
Heavenly locks, and he's not short.

Chorus:
Eikbrandr, give him a beer
Eikbrandr, he's quite a peer
He leads our army to victory
When he is charging, enemies flee.

Don't give him onions, he'll just take steak.
He'll talk for hours without a break
He's known for training and ultimate skill
He taught the Cleftlands to fight for the kill

Chorus

He is a Viking...oh! I mean Norse.
Is he authentic? (thanks to Runa) of course!
Armbands and hammers, oh so much bling
Is he on time? Ain't no such thing.

Chorus

Does he have talent? Oh man you bet.
Blacksmith and lampwork, his tears and his sweat.
So please forgive me, this song is in jest
All I can say is I think he's the best.

Chorus
