One man rode the way through the woods    Down to Asa bay    Where dragon ships had sailed to sea    More times than one could say    To see with own eyes the wonder    People told of from man to man    The God of all almightyness    Had arrived from a foreign land       The rumours told of a man    Who had come from the other side the sea    Carrying gold cross around neck in chain    And spoke in strange tongue of peace    He had come with strange men in armour    Dressed in purple shirts and lace    Smelling not of beer but flowers    And with no hair in face       And the bold man carrying cross    Had told all one of Asa bay    The God of all man woman child had come    To them all save    And to thank Lord of Heaven    One should build to God a house    And to save one's soul from Hell    One should be baptised and say vows       A man of pride with the Hammer told new God    To build his house on own    And spoke loud of the Gods of their fathers    Not too long time gone    The rumours said the man with a beard like fire    And the Hammer in chain    By men in armour silenced was and by    Their swords was slain       Those who did not pay the one coin    Of four to man of new God    Whipped was twenty and put in chains then locked    By their neck to the log To the log    And so all of Asa bay did build    A house of the cross    Every hour of daylight they did sweat    Limbs ached because faith does cost       And on the day two hundred    There it stood white to the sky    The house of the God of the cross    Big enough to take two dragon ships inside    And all of Asa bay did watch    The wonder raise to the sky    Now must the God of the cross be pleased    And satisfied       Just outside the circle of the crowd    One old man did stand    He looked across the waters    And blotted the sun out of his eyes with one hand    And his old eyes could almost see    The dragon ships set sails    And his old ears could almost hear    Men of great numbers call out Oden's hail       And though he did know already    Though he turned face towards sky    And whispered silent words forgotten    Spoken only way up high    Now this house of a foreign God does stand    Now must they leave us alone    Still he heard from somewhere in the woods    Old crow of wisdom say    "...people of Asa land, it's only just begun..."
