<br>
Stand tall the mighty huscarl<br>
<br>
Guardian of our king<br>
Laying low the bitter foeman<br>
As the falcon takes to wing<br>
<br>
_Huscarl, huscarl,<br>
<br>
you shall guard our land,<br>
But we will fight beside you<br>
When you choose to make your stand<br>
Huscarl, huscarl, huscarl_<br>
<br>
Sitting at the king's right knee<br>
<br>
And living in his hall,<br>
Feasting at his table<br>
You're ready for his call<br>
<br>
_Huscarl, huscarl,<br>
<br>
you shall guard our land,<br>
But we will fight beside you<br>
When you choose to make your stand<br>
Huscarl, huscarl, huscarl_<br>
<br>
As the battle crushes in<br>
<br>
There forms a huscarl ring,<br>
Axes held high over head<br>
None shall touch our king.<br>
<br>
_Huscarl, huscarl,<br>
<br>
you shall guard our land,<br>
But we will fight beside you<br>
When you choose to make your stand<br>
Huscarl, huscarl, huscarl_<br>
<br>
And now the battle's over<br>
<br>
And our king stands all alone.<br>
Around him fallen huscarls<br>
Whose axes shattered bone.<br>
<br>
_Huscarl, huscarl,<br>
<br>
you shall guard our land,<br>
But we will fight beside you<br>
When you choose to make your stand<br>
Huscarl, huscarl, huscarl_<br>
