Verse 1:
Under the stars, his tales were spun,
Of heroes brave and battles won.
His songs would echo through the night,
By the campfire’s burning light.
Chorus:
Brave Hagor,
Bard, healer, and friend,
He stood by King Ghark, until the end.
Verse 2:
The War of the Seven then arrived,
The greatest fight of all our lives.
Four champions, the All-Father chose,
And bound his fate to those.
Chorus:
Brave Hagor,
Bard, healer, and friend,
The All-Father’s champion, until the end.
Verse 3:
He answered the All-Father’s call,
With King Ghark’s horde he marched to war.
His herbs and salves, our wounds they healed,
We swore we’d never yield.
Chorus:
Brave Hagor,
King Ghark’s true friend,
Both of them champions, until the end.
Verse 4:
The Julian empire we attacked,
But walls and famine turned us back.
With greater force we then returned,
The empire we’d burn.
Chorus:
Brave Hagor,
Bard, healer, and friend,
The young lass he loved, she met her end.
Verse 5:
The Julians came for us at last,
Their allies strong, their army vast.
Our greatest warriors soon were gone,
But King Ghark still fought on.
Chorus:
And brave Hagor,
Bard, healer, and friend,
He stood by King Ghark, until the end.
Verse 6:
Great battles fought, brave heroes slain,
Our King Ghark taken, bound in chains.
Our victory turned to defeat,
The war chiefs called the retreat.
Chorus:
And brave Hagor,
Bard, healer, and friend,
Wounded in battle, his king he couldn’t defend.
Verse 7:
Two champions left, our god still had,
And one of them would soon be dead.
Yet this was not to be Ghark’s end,
For Hagor saved his friend.
Chorus:
Brave Hagor,
Bard, healer, and friend,
For our King Ghark, he made his last stand.
Verse 8:
White flag in hand, he did advance,
To give King Ghark another chance.
“Take what I’m giving you,” he said,
And gave his own life instead.
Chorus:
Brave Hagor,
Bard, healer, and friend,
His death spelled the All-Father’s end.
Verse 9:
His sacrifice earned Ghark’s release,
To lead us through a time of peace.
His song now echoes through the night,
By the campfire’s burning light.
Chorus:
Brave Hagor,
Bard, healer, and friend,
He stood by King Ghark, until the end.
Final Chorus:
Brave Hagor,
Bard, healer, and friend,
In our songs he lives on, his fame without end.
