SS 09 Axe Time 
                Verses: Egil Skallagrimsson
                Chorus: Thorgeirr Eikenskjaldi the Thirsty

Chorus
Axe time, sword time, bend your back to the oar,
Wind time, wolf time, and here's to the hammer of Thor.

So I rise up early to erect my rhyme,
Let's wallow in blood and gore,
My tongue toils, a servant at his task;
And here's to the hammer of Thor,
I pile the praise-stones, the poem rises,
Let's wallow in blood and gore,
My labour is not lost, long may my words live,
And here's to the hammer of Thor.

Break not the spell but silent be:
To you I'll tell their bravery:
At clash of kings on carrion-field
The red blade swings at blue-stained shield.

When swords anoint what man is saved?
Who gets the point is deep engraved:
And men, like oak from Odin's tree,
Few words they spoke at that iron-play.

The peace is torn by flying spears,
When bows are drawn wolves prick their ears,
The yew-bow shrills the edges bite,
The warrior wills his men to fight.

Notes: Throvald Grimsson and Richard de Alaedo
Found that Egil's verses could be sung to the Thoregeiir song, and stitched them together
