Jörmungandr

**Verse 1:** In the North Sea so wide and cold, Sailed a ship so brave and bold, The *Valkyrie’s Dawn*, her name did ring, With a hearty crew, they'd sail and sing. **Chorus:** Heave ho, lads, the winds do blow, Through the waves, to lands we go, But beware, the serpent’s gaze, In the deep, where Jörmungandr lays. **Verse 2:** One stormy night, the seas did roar, The crew beheld an ancient lore, A serpent vast, from tail to head, With eyes that filled their hearts with dread. **Chorus:** Heave ho, lads, the winds do blow, Through the waves, to lands we go, But beware, the serpent’s gaze, In the deep, where Jörmungandr lays. **Verse 3:** Jörmungandr rose from the deep, Its scales like mountains, secrets keep, The Valkyrie’s Dawn stood still in awe, Before the beast's immense jaw. **Chorus:** Heave ho, lads, the winds do blow, Through the waves, to lands we go, But beware, the serpent’s gaze, In the deep, where Jörmungandr lays. **Verse 4:** The captain whispered, “Hold your ground, Make not a move, nor slightest sound,” They prayed to gods, with hope and fear, To leave the serpent’s wrath unclear. **Chorus:** Heave ho, lads, the winds do blow, Through the waves, to lands we go, But beware, the serpent’s gaze, In the deep, where Jörmungandr lays. **Verse 5:** The serpent’s eye, so cold and drawn, But to their luck, the serpent moved on, They sailed away with silent cheers, Escaping death and all their fears. **Chorus:** Heave ho, lads, the winds do blow, Through the waves, to lands we go, But beware, the serpent’s gaze, In the deep, where Jörmungandr lays. **Outro:** So, raise your glass to those so wise, Who faced the serpent with calm eyes, The Valkyrie’s Dawn will sail once more, With tales of yore on every shore.
