E5 F#5 G#5 F#5 G#5 E5
One man rode the way through the woods down to Asa Bay
C#5 B5 G#5 B5
Where Dragonships had sailed to sea more times than one could say
A5 B5 C#5 B5 C#5 A5
To see with own eyes the wonder peo-ple told of from man to man
F#5 E5 D#5 E5
The God of all allmightyness had arrived from a foreign land
(Rh.Fig.4)
The rumors told of a man who had come from the other side of sea
Carrying gold cross around neck in chain and
spoke in strange tongue of peace
He had come with strange men in armor dressed in purple shirt and lace
Smelling not of beer but flowers and with no her in face
Rh.Fig.5 (twice)

Oh oh oh

F#5 / G#5 F#5 /
And the bold man carrying cross had told all one of Asa Bay
G#5 F#5 / E5 F#5 / E5
The God of all man woman child had come to them all save
(Rh.Fig.7)
And to thank Lord of Heaven one should build to God a house
And to save one's soul of Hell one should be baptized and say vows
Rh.Fig.8 (Behind 3rd verse)
D#5 C#5
A man of pride with the Hammer told new God to build his house on own
B5 A#5 E5 F#5 / E5
And spoke loud of the Gods of their fathers not too long time gone
(Rh.Fig.8)
The rumors said the man with a beard like fire and the Hammer in chain
By men in armor silenced was and by their swords was slained
(Rh.Fig.4)
Those who did not pay the one coin of four to man of new God
Whipped was times twenty and put in chains then locked by thei neck
To the log, to the log
And so all of Asa Bay did build a house of the cross
Every hour of daylight did sweat limbs ached because faith does cost

D#5 C#5 B5 A#5 F#5 G#5 F#5 / G#5
Rh.Fig.6/w.solo
(Rh.Fig.4)
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
Dragonships 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
Rh.Fig.2/w.Rh.Fig.1a.1b
Rh.Fig.3/w.Rh.Fig.1a,1b
(Rh.Fig.4)
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 Dragonships set sails
And his old ears could almost hear men of great numbers
call out Oden's hail
(Rh.Fig.4)
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 did 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
