stuart davis – atavistic viking lyrics
at the state museum in a gl-ss display
a viking sword and shield lay
which instinctively i recognized
and my danish blood began to rise
i smashed the case and pulled the
weapons free and uprooted my family tree
then i moved up north and built a
lakesh-r- home
out of tree trunk frames with a
mud thatch dome
i wrapped myself in a sheepskin coat
and climbed aboard my wooden boat
with the pent up rage of my ancient kin
a thousand years inside my skin
sailing east i spotted a campsite
a group of tourists playing in the moonlight
they pointed at me and laughed like h-ll,
until i came ash-r- swinging my sword
bodies scattered as i plunged my blade
through their gore-tex tents
and set fire to the family mini van
with their coleman lamps
then everybody watched daddy dangle
from a birch bark limb
a little visit from the instincts lingering
in the atavistic viking
as i floated away from the bl–dy grounds
the beautiful loot weighed my boat down
i made my way to a posh resort
where the rich and famous come to port
and pulling away from a harbor slot
i spied a most resplendent yacht
in the middle of a costume party
a little drunk, so they hardly
noticed me climbing on board in my helmet
with the h-rns swinging my sword
bodies scattered as i plunged my
blade through the captain’s chair
and dragged women to the galley by
their hair and underwear
set a torch to the master cabin,
loaded up my spoils
another visit from the instincts
lingering in the atavistic viking
and the planet hasn’t seen such
horror in a thousand years
the bellicose screams of my ancestors
still ring in the atavistic viking
