Prompt / 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

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
