Bathory - One Rode To Asa Bay
One Man Rode The Way Through The Woods
Down To Asa Bay
Where Dragon Ships Had Sailed To Sea
More Times Than One Could Say
People Told Of From Man To Man
To See With Own Eyes The Wonder
The God Of All Almightyness
Had Arrived From A Foreign Land
Who Had Come From The Other Side The Seas
The Rumours Told Of A Man
Carrying Gold Cross Around Neck In Chain
And Spoke In Strange Tongue Of Peace
He Had Come With Strange Men In Armour
Smelling Not Of Beer But Flowers
Dressed In Purple Shirts And Lace
And With No Hair In Face
And The Bold Man Carrying Cross
Had Told All One Of Asa Bay
The God Of All Man Woman Child Had Come
To Them All Save
And To Thank Lord Of Heaven
And To Save One's Soul From Hell
One Should Be Baptised And Say Vows
One Should Build To God A House
A Man Of Pride With The Hammer Told New God
To Build His House On Own
And Spoke Loud Of The Gods Of Their Fathers
Not Too Long Time Gone
The Rumours Said The Man With A Beard Like Fire
By Men In Armour Silenced Was And By
And The Hammer In Chain
Their Swords Was Slain
Whipped Was Twenty And Put In Chains Then Locked
Those Who Did Not Pay The One Coin
Of Four To Man Of New God
By Their Neck To The Log [to The Log...]
And So All Of Asa Bay Did Build
A House Of The Cross
Every Hour Of Daylight They Did Sweat
Limbs Ached Because Faith Does Cost
and On The Day Two Hundred
The House Of The God Of The Cross
There It Stood White To The Sky
Big Enough To Take Two Dragon Ships Inside
The Wonder Raise To The Sky
And All Of Asa Bay Did Watch
Now Must The God Of The Cross Be Pleased
And Satisfied
Just Outside The Circle Of The Crowd
One Old Man Did Stand
He Looked Across The Waters
And Blotted The Sun Out Of His Eyes With One Hand
And His Old Eyes Could Almost See
The Dragon Ships Set Sail
And His Old Ears Could Almost Hear
Men Of Great Numbers Call Out Oden's Hail
And Though He Did Know Already
Though He Turned Face Towards Sky
And Whispered Silent Words Forgotten
Spoken Only Way Up High
Now This House Of A Foreign God Does Stand
Now Must They Leave Us Alone
Still He Heard From Somewhere In The Woods
Old Crow Of Wisdom Say
...people Of Asa Land, It's Only Just Begun...
