*Title: "The Vows of Hjalmar and Ingeborg"*
*Verse 1:*
By Sweden's shores, where the waters gleam,
Lived Hjalmar brave, with warrior’s dream.
He met Ingeborg, with eyes like stars,
A love so pure, it bore no scars.
She was the daughter of a noble king,
Her voice was soft, like spring’s first ring.
He swore to her, by sword and shield,
To love and protect, to never yield.
*Chorus:*
Oh, Hjalmar bold, and Ingeborg fair,
A love that rose through battle’s flare.
Through fire and ice, their hearts entwined,
Their vows held strong against all time.
*Verse 2:*
But fate was harsh, with cruel design,
Her brothers swore to draw a line.
To win her hand, a challenge made,
To fight berserkers, and prove his blade.
Hjalmar stood tall, with honor bright,
Against twelve men, he faced the fight.
With axe and sword, through blood and bone,
He fought for love, to make her his own.
*Bridge:*
The gods above watched with bated breath,
As Hjalmar fought through life and death.
For love so pure, for love so true,
He battled on, he pushed right through.
*Verse 3:*
He slew them all, but fate was cruel,
A poisoned wound became the tool.
He fell to earth, his strength did wane,
But Ingeborg’s love, it felt no pain.
She held him close as the life slipped by,
With tears of sorrow in her eye.
He whispered soft, his final plea,
“To Valhalla, love, wait there for me.”
*Chorus:*
Oh, Hjalmar bold, and Ingeborg fair,
A love that rose through battle’s flare.
Through fire and ice, their hearts entwined,
Their vows held strong against all time.
*Outro Verse:*
Now tales are told in Viking halls,
Of Hjalmar’s strength and Ingeborg’s calls.
Their love, a star in the northern sky,
A beacon bright that will never die.
*Final Chorus:*
Oh, Hjalmar bold, and Ingeborg fair,
A love that rose through battle’s flare.
Through fire and ice, their hearts entwined,
Their vows held strong against all time.
