Post any IC songs you may have here. Please note, the vaagen way will change occasionally and so has it's own thread.

Men of Albion

Men of albion, stop your dreaming,
can't you see there spear points gleaming,
see there warrior penants streaming,
to this battlefield

Men of albion stand ye steady,
it cannot be ever said ye,
for the battle were not ready,
Vaagen never yield.

This is a new one, for the Vaagen.

Listen, son I'll tell you now how vaagen die
With bloody axe; an arm so strong and sword held high
That's how a vaagen dies
We die in battle cry
Trust in the gods; trust in the runes and in your steel
Live and death and live a never endingwheel
At Woden's table, we meet again
Heroes meet again
I sailed across the seven seas for fifty years
I conquered all the continents with fire and steel

A tribute to the vaagen gods
A tribute to the vaagen gods

Now I'm old and in my next fight I'm going to die
I meet you again in Wodin's hall – no need to cry

A tribute to the vaagen gods
A tribute to the vaagen gods
A tribute to the Vaagen Gods!

hello friend

This is my favorite song

Across the sea they heard the call
Blood to spill and gold in hand
Charged to flash their deadly steel
And defend this fruitful land
Straightaway they waged their war
And swiftly came the victory
And all of those that were left behind
Beheld the messengers' sign
And the ships filled the shoreline

Bound for fame
With three great ships they came
Riding the waves
To the fray
They soared across the spray
Leading the way
Souls aflame
They made their masters slaves
Destined to reign
Foes forlorn
A sacred myth was born
Wrought a new age

With gathering strength and growing will
They turned to bite the hand that feeds
The worthless host harried and slain
From the east to western seas
Altars razed by iron and fire
The pious slaughtered ruthlessly
The survivors fled to cower in the woods
For a life of ignominy
Or sadly crossed the sea

My favourite songs are.

We die in battle cry
I sailed across the seven seas for fifty years
Destined to reign
The pious slaughtered ruthlessly
Men of albino, stop your dreaming,
it cannot be ever said ye,
And the ships filled the shoreline
Bound for fame

I would like to make a request for a song I've heard in the tavern several times about a captain and his crew

The ship sailed into harbour after fifteen months at sea,
the captain hit the tavern with his crew of fifty three! (yarrrgh!)
After drinking up there pay they staggered through the town,
But all the inns and public houses turned the sailors down. (Dejected yarrrgh)

The capatin said 'fear not me lads, you all can come with me!
I live just round the corner, and you all can stay for free! (hopeful yarrrgh)
But when the captains wife awoke upon the break of day,
They say that you could hear her wailing clear to bodney bay! (shhh)

She said there's seamen all around the bed, there's seamen on the floor,
Seamen in the bathroom and behind the closet door!
There's seamen in the fireplace and seamen in the hall,
the living room is carpeted with seamen wall to wall. (Yarrrgh!)

There's seamen in the entrance way and seamen on the stair,
but worst of all there's even seamen in me underwear!
There's seamen in the larder and beneath the table too,
I do believe your seamen got into me irish stew.

there's seamen here in front of me and seamen in the rear, (yarrrgh!)
My god there's even seamen hanging from the chandelier!
There's seamen on the window sill and seamen in the yard,
Your seamen even left a stain upon the saint bernard.

Although I am a patient wife 'tis more than i can bear,
to wake up in the morning with your seamen in my hair! (disgusted yarrrgh from the wenches)
I ne'er again do wish to see thee darken up my door,
So clean up all your seamen and come round my way no more,
So clean up all your seamen and come round my way no more, YARRRGH!!!

men of albion stop your dreaming,
can't see their spear points gleaming.
see their warrior penants streaming,
to this battlefield.

Men of Albion stand ye steady,
it can not be ever said ye,
for the battle we not ready
Vagan never yeild.

from the hills rebounding
let this war cry sounding
answer all this ironaxe call
the mighty fo-orce surrounding.
men of aldion on to glory,
let this ever be your story
vagaan never yeild.

Light and Dark
( dont have a tune for it , just the words)


I am the darkness
I am the rising hate
I am the bloodlust that fills your heart
I am the reason for your fate

I bring out your darkness
I bring out your rage
I bring out the evil within
I release it from it cage

I give you your freedom
I opened your eyes
You saw the deceit that blinded you
And now your anger will rise

You embrace me now
I'm deep in your heart
Anger, hate and bloodlust
These are just the start

Make them all pay
Make them all fear
Make them lose all
That they hold dear

I am Vengeance and rage
Anger and the hate
They used you and lied
They sealed their own fate

I am the light within
The love deep in your heart
To embrace forgiveness
From hate you must part

I gift you with love
I gift you with calm
Embrace the good thats within
Do not bring harm

Hold on to freedom
Don't let the dark win
Open up your heart
To the light thats within

It's not too late
For your eyes to see
The hate and anger
Are not who you should be

Forgive all of them
Let the past rest
Be a man of kindness and love
Be one of the best

I am peace and love
Forgiveness and calm
Let love fill your heart
And your anger disarm

You now have a choice
Between darkness and light
Have a future that's hate and pain
Or have a future that's bright

It's only you who can choose
Which path you shall take
But remember the price
It's your soul at stake

You stepped into the light
You banished the hate
Drove out the darkness
And chose your own fate

add any verses you like [keep it vaagen ]and i cant find an ending please help

Blackbeard and Bluebeard and Redbeard, they say
Hijacked a ship and went sailing away
Seaward they scudded and skipped on the breeze
But couldn't find treasure to plunder and seize

And a pirate without treasure is like a monkey
without a spatula...

So Bluebeard said, "Since we've nothing to do
Why don't we paint our new pirate ship blue?
Blue for the poop deck. Blue for the sails
Blue for the rudder, the riggings and the rails."

And he sang, "Yo ho ho, let's paint the ship blue
No other color's as trusty and true
As sure as I sail by the Northern star,
blue's the most beautiful color. Arrrr!"

Redbeard spoke up, saying, "Aye, but instead
wouldn't ye rather we painted her red?
Red for the cannons and the sodey-pop kegs
Red for our eye-patches, parrots and pegs."
(Parrot) Rawk! Pegleg.

And he sang, "Yo ho ho, nothing's quite like red
It's fearsome and fiery and fills men with dread
As sure as I sail by the Northern star,
red's the most radiant color. Arrr!"

"Blackbeard said, "Blimey! You're both off the track.
Let's paint it something more handsome, like black."
"Blue!" shouted Bluebeard, and Redbeard yelled, "Red!"
Blackbeard said, "Black! Are you cracked in the head?"

And he sang, "Yo ho ho, give me deep, dark black
from starboard to port, from the front to the back.
As sure as I sail by the Northern star,
black's a spectacular color. Arrr!"

Redbeard grabbed brushes and buckets and paints
Over his shipmates insistent complaints.
Rather than letting him paint the ship red,
They got some blue paint and black paint instead.

Swiftly the three of them painted their boat,
each a completely dissimilar coat,
Making a color not red, black or blue;
Mixing, instead, an entirely new hue.

That was the last that was seen of the three
Simply because they refused to agree.
They weren't torpedoed or shelled or harpooned.
They just disappeared, for their ship was marooned.

And sometimes on a foggy night at sea,
you can still hear them singin'...

"Yo ho ho and a bottle of pop
We painted our ship from the bottom to the top.
As sure as we sail by the Northern star
(Bluebeard) Blue's the most beautiful...
(Redbeard) No! Red's the most radiant!
(Blackbeard) What? Black's the most spectacular color!
(Parrot) Rawk. How about yellow?
(Blackbeard, Bluebeard and Redbeard) Arrrr!"

When your day is over and done
To the Silver Rose you must run
See the girl there on the right
Spend all your money on'er tonight
She will make you feel like a king
She will make you want to sing
She'll make you want to sing

When your far away from home
though you can no longer here her call
Its in your blood to roam
Its in your blood to stand brave and tall
the battle feild calls to you
You know in your heart she calls too
you know in your heart she calls

When your day is over and done
To the Silver Rose you must run
See the girl there on the right
Spend all your money on'er tonight
She will make you feel like a king
She will make you want to sing
She'll make you want to sing

This is a rather silly one taken from the wonderful comic OOTS but I felt it has the right feel:

O Buddy Roy, the lich, the lich came calling,
From round to round, and in the air this day
And though we have all found ourselves a'falling
Tis' you, tis' you went splat and we're ok

But come ye back when Raise Dead has been cast
After cash for diamond dust we pool
'Cause we'll be here tomorrow after breakfast
Oh buddy Roy, Oh buddy Roy you're pretty cool

But if tomorrow it turns out we got smacked down
If we're dead, our hit points worn away
The sorry dude, you wont be coming back now
One death sucks but six spells T-P-K

I wont see you in the afterlife in that case
Because you're lawful, and chaotic good am I
And I don't think they'll let me hang at your place
O buddy Roy, O buddy Roy, why did you die?

A pirate song from Pirates of the Caribbean:

The king and his men
stole the queen from her bed
and bound her in her Bones.
The seas be ours
and by the powers
where we will well roam.

Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the colors high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never say we die.

Some men have died
and some are alive
and others sail on the sea
– with the keys to the cage...
and the Devil to pay
we lay to Fiddler's Green!

The bell has been raised
from it's watery grave...
Do you hear it's sepulchral tone?
We are a call to all,
pay head the squall
and turn your sail toward home!

Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the colors high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never shall we die.

This is a long one but here are the full Lyrics of Fifteen Men on a Dead Mans Chest:

Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
The mate was fixed by the bosun's pike
The bosun brained with a marlinspike
And cookey's throat was marked belike
It had been gripped by fingers ten;
And there they lay, all good dead men
Like break o'day in a boozing ken.
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

. Fifteen men of the whole ship's list
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Dead and be damned and the rest gone whist!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
The skipper lay with his nob in gore
Where the scullion's axe his cheek had shore
And the scullion he was stabbed times four
And there they lay, and the soggy skies
Dripped down in up-staring eyes
In murk sunset and foul sunrise
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

Fifteen men of 'em stiff and stark
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Ten of the crew had the murder mark!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers' glut with a rotting red
And there they lay, aye, damn my eyes
Looking up at paradise
All souls bound just contrariwise
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

Fifteen men of 'em good and true
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Ev'ry man jack could ha' sailed with Old Pew,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
There was chest on chest of Spanish gold
With a ton of plate in the middle hold
And the cabins riot of stuff untold,
And they lay there that took the plum
With sightless glare and their lips struck dumb
While we shared all by the rule of thumb,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

More was seen through a sternlight screen...
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Chartings undoubt where a woman had been
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
'Twas a flimsy shift on a bunker cot
With a dirk slit sheer through the bosom spot
And the lace stiff dry in a purplish blot
Oh was she wench or some shudderin' maid
That dared the knife and took the blade
By God! she had stuff for a plucky jade
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
We wrapped 'em all in a mains'l tight
With twice ten turns of a hawser's bight
And we heaved 'em over and out of sight,
With a Yo-Heave-Ho! and a fare-you-well
And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell
Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

Away in a madhouse, confined to my bed

From visions and nightmares that filled me with dread

The Doctor has sweetly inserted a probe

To sever completely my prefrontal lobe

Electroshock therapy, mind-numbing pills:

They change my behavior to cure all my ills

I love Arkham Asylum, my own padded cell

I'll stay here forever, for outside it's Hell
