Miklagard! Miklagard! We'll swoop down like eagles! Miklagard! Miklagard! We'll fall upon it like thunder Taking all of the plunder Looting the city (and) Burning it all to the ground! The task, it's magnificent the challenge is quintescent Treasure is piled to the sky They've got too much money Their roofs gleam like honey We'll unburden the rich Remedy our shortages Build our own city of gold Harald! Lothar! A great king is he Harald! Lother! He leads us to victory Raise the army Harald's Saga Burn the city Asgard's glory Reward of raiding Our valour will prove Lord of battle din rings The war rune is sounded Of the great battle we'll sing Large our halls And our holdings be endless Let's raise our tankards And toast to the Jarls greatness Miklagard! Miklagard! We'll swoop down like eagles! Miklagard! Miklagard! We'll fall upon it like thunder taking all of the plunder looting the city (and) burning it all to the ground! Tax free!

"Trees live out of themselves; they neither kill to eat -- like the creatures of land and sea -- nor do they toil for their food, but the All-Wise nourishes them in season, and their span outlasts all other living things in creation. Their wisdom runs deep as their roots in the earth, even as their branches reach toward heaven in exaltation of their Creator. "Yes, they may be cut down, and when they fall, they die. But whether they are burned in the fire or used for building, their lives are given for those they serve -- either for warmth in the cold or to support the roof above ... so that even in death these giants of the land serve those who depend upon them. In this they are the emblems of the druid-kind, who seek to emulate these noble qualities in all our ways." From "Patrick" by Stephen R.
