Man from Delphi

Man from delphi
wont you tell me
did the vikings ever now that they were smart, and when they
wrote their runes they made
stone-made tunes i say
in a town where solid stone would guard my heart

well they dance for me
theyre enchanting me
man of fortune
were you fighting for yourself
would they ever care
were they ever there
did the carry it all along the way

and did the peasent feel it
just as real as
the kings and queens when they took it all the way
or was it
quest for power that had gone sour
and so they found a clever way to make it stay

well i took it all the way
but i could have sworn that
is it good to be insane
and to carry on when
what you do will be in vain
and the perils on you
in and endless night

Why ever trust the words of life
No couple ever turned to one
the winter fills the air at night
The maker of runes is on the run

well they dance for me..
