Viking Song

Music: Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875–1912) · Words: David McKee Wright

Clang, clang, clang on the anvil,

In the smithy by the dark North Sea;

Part 0 100% Play the tune Say my score

One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:11) and stops after the last: the piano and the words come from the score, so a key change or a slower tempo changes no sound file.

The microphone is asked for only when you press its button. What it hears is measured and scored on this device and never leaves it; nothing is kept unless you record and save the file yourself. What is kept, and where.

The words

Clang, clang, clang on the anvil,

In the smithy by the dark North Sea;

Is it Thor that is smiting with the hammer.

Is it Odin with the leather on his knee?

Clang, clang, clang on the anvil There are

steel ships wanted on the sea!

Clang!

Clang! clang, clang, clang, clang,

clang, clang, clang! Clang, clang,

clang on the anvil, For the forge,

the forge of the Viking may not sleep!

Clang, clang, clang on the anvil,

And the hammers of the island leap;

Britannia with her bright hair glowing,

Has her eye on the furrows of the deep.

Clang, clang, clang on the anvil,

For the blood, the blood of the Viking may not

sleep.

Clang, clang, clang on the anvil,

On the margin of the soulbright sea,

Is it Odin that is watching in the shadow?

Is it Thor where the sparks fly free?

Clang, clang, clang on the anvil,

There are steel ships wanted on the sea.

Clang,

clang, clang, clang, clang

Clang, clang, clang on the anvil,

In the smithy by the dark North Sea;

Is it Thor that is smiting with the hammer.

Is it Odin with the leather on his knee?

Clang, clang, clang on the anvil There are

steel ships wanted on the sea!

Clang, clang, clang on the anvil,

And the flames of the forges leap.

Old Thor, with his red beard glowing,

Has his eyes on the furrows of the deep.

Clang, clang, clang on the anvil,

For the forge, the forge of the Viking may not

sleep!

Clang!

Clang! clang, clang, clang, clang,

clang, clang, clang. Clang, clang,

clang on the anvil, For the blood,

the blood of the Viking may not sleep.

Clang, clang, clang on the anvil,

On the margin of the soulbright sea,

Is it Odin that is watching in the shadow?

Is it Thor where the sparks fly free?

Clang, clang, clang on the anvil,

There are steel ships wanted on the sea.

Clang,

clang, clang, clang, clang
