Thunder and Wings

Composed & Conducted in Detroit by
Capt. Alan Price

Lyrics

"Thunder and Wings"

(Motown Style)

(Verse 1)

In the heart of the storm, lightning strikes the sky,

Thor’s hammer’s roaring, you can hear the battle cry.

St. Michael’s armor gleaming bright as day,

He’s leading the charge in a righteous way.

(Pre-Chorus)

Heaven and Asgard, the clash of the divine,

Two warriors battling on a cosmic line.

(Chorus)

Thunder and wings, the heavens collide,

Faith and power in the ultimate fight.

Angels and gods, their voices unite,

In the rhythm of justice, they ignite!

(Verse 2)

Mjolnir swings heavy with a thunderous call,

Michael’s sword of fire cuts through it all.

One fights for glory, the other for grace,

The clash of eternity in this sacred space.

(Pre-Chorus)

Destinies entwined in the starry night,

A duel that sets the cosmos alight.

(Chorus)

Thunder and wings, the heavens collide,

Faith and power in the ultimate fight.

Angels and gods, their voices unite,

In the rhythm of justice, they ignite!

(Bridge)

“Stand down!” cries Michael, “Your pride must fall!”

But Thor stands firm, answering the call.

“Your faith is strong, but my strength is might!”

They battle on ‘til the morning light.

(Breakdown)

Oh, the heavens shake, and the mortals pray,

The soulful rhythm keeps the fear at bay.

As the gods and angels fight their fight,

The world keeps spinning ‘til the morning bright.

(Final Chorus)

Thunder and wings, the heavens collide,

Faith and power in the ultimate fight.

Angels and gods, their voices unite,

In the rhythm of justice, they ignite!

(Outro)

And as the dawn breaks, they stand in awe,

A truce is called, for they’ve seen the law.

Thunder and wings, they fade to the past,

But the Motown beat forever lasts. cover

Rugged Coast

Lyrics

Composed & Conducted in Detroit by
Capt. Alan Price

Lyrics

Verse 1) On the rugged coast where the waters kiss, Alan walks the past, in a timeless bliss. With the whispers of Vikings, he hears their call, Connecting the stories that echo through all.

(Pre-Chorus) From Shetland's shores to Pembrokeshire's grace, He paints the tapestry of a distant place. Through artifacts and tales, history's embrace, In every stone, a memory finds its space.

(Chorus) Oh, dance with the echoes of history's tide, In the shadows of legends, where secrets reside. Alan's heart beats with the rhythm of the sea, Romantic journeys through time, wild and free.

(Verse 2) In the halls of London, his passion ignites, From Ireland to Iceland, he shares their rights. Each lecture a voyage, a map in his hands, Tracing the footsteps of ancient lands.

(Pre-Chorus) Through the windswept shores, where the past still breathes, He finds the connections that history weaves. In every discovery, a love song unfolds, Of Norse hearts and dreams that history holds.

(Chorus) Oh, dance with the echoes of history's tide, In the shadows of legends, where secrets reside. Alan's heart beats with the rhythm of the sea, Romantic journeys through time, wild and free.

(Bridge) Through the mist of the ages, his passion ignites, In the stories of Vikings, their struggles, their heights. From Shetland to Pembroke, a network of souls, In the dance of the past, their spirit consoles.

(Chorus) Oh, dance with the echoes of history's tide, In the shadows of legends, where secrets reside. Alan's heart beats with the rhythm of the sea, Romantic journeys through time, wild and free.

(Outro) So here’s to the tales that forever endure, In the depths of the ocean, the heart finds its cure. With Alan as guide, let the stories unfold, In the embrace of the past, new futures are told.

The Mission

Composed & Conducted
by Capt. Alan Price

(Verse 1)
In shadows of the past, we stand, A tapestry of tales, woven by hand. Viking hearts, fierce and bright, Shetland’s shores call through the night.

(Pre-Chorus)
With Alan Price, we rise and shine, A mission bold, a vision divine. Through lectures, books, we share the flame, History’s whispers, never the same.

(Chorus)
Advance the knowledge, let it soar, Culture and faith, forevermore. From Pembrokeshire to Shetland's grace, Together we find our rightful place.

(Verse 2) In stories sung, in voices clear, An ancient bond, we hold so dear. Through radio waves, the truth will spread, The Viking spirit, alive, not dead.

(Pre-Chorus)
With Alan Price, we rise and shine, A mission bold, a vision divine. Through videos, magazines, tales unfold, A legacy rich, worth more than gold.

(Chorus)
Advance the knowledge, let it soar, Culture and faith, forevermore. From Pembrokeshire to Shetland's grace, Together we find our rightful place.

(Bridge)
So gather ‘round, let’s share the light, In every heart, let history ignite. Through every medium, hear the call, Together united, we’ll conquer all.

(Chorus)
Advance the knowledge, let it soar, Culture and faith, forevermore. From Pembrokeshire to Shetland's grace, Together we find our rightful place.

(Outro)
In the echoes of time, we’ll stand tall, With Alan Price, we’ll answer the call. Through education, our spirits thrive, In this mission, we come alive.

Raid at St. Davids

Composed & Conducted in Detroit by
Capt. Alan Price

Lyrics

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, the sun was settin' low, on the hills of Pembrokeshire,

When the winds began to blow, and the drums began to stir,

They came sailin' through the waves, oh, with fire in their eyes,

The Vikings with their axes raised, under those darkened skies.

[Chorus]

Oh, St. David's, hear the call,

They're comin' for you, gonna break those walls,

Raidin' through the night, with fury and might,

Oh, St. David’s, it’s your fight tonight.

[Verse 2]

The bells in the tower rang, but it was too late to flee,

The Norsemen’s fury sang, through the sacred sea,

They tore the doors wide open, set the stones ablaze,

In the hallowed halls of David, they’d make their mark that day.

[Chorus]

Oh, St. David's, hear the call,

They're comin' for you, gonna break those walls,

Raidin' through the night, with fury and might,

Oh, St. David’s, it’s your fight tonight.

[Bridge]

(Ohhh, yeah, yeah, yeah…)

Fierce and wild, they rode the tide,

With the gods on their side, they couldn't hide,

From the storm that was comin'—look out below!

But St. David’s stood tall, never letting go!

[Chorus]

Oh, St. David's, hear the call,

They're comin' for you, gonna break those walls,

Raidin' through the night, with fury and might,

Oh, St. David’s, it’s your fight tonight.

[Outro]

Yeah, they came for the gold, but they found somethin' more,

A faith that can’t be broken, a spirit that’ll soar,

The Vikings may have raided, but they couldn’t take the soul,

St. David’s will stand, strong and bold!

(Ohhh… strong and bold, yeah, yeah...)

St. David’s will stand!

Welcome to Valhalla

Composed & Conducted in Detroit by
Capt. Alan Price

Lyrics

(Verse 1)

Hey there, warrior, come on in,

Your battle's over, but your life begins.

You fought like thunder, with the heart of a lion,

Now the Valkyries are here, and they're flyin'!

(Pre-Chorus)

Odin’s waitin' with a feast,

Roast meat and mead, it’s the Viking’s dream.

No more fightin', no more fear,

Raise your cup up high, the good times are here!

(Chorus)

Welcome to Valhalla, my friend,

Where the party never ends!

Dancin' with the gods, you’ve earned your place,

Now let’s drink and sing, in this sacred space!

Welcome to Valhalla, you’ve made it through,

Now the stars are shinin’ just for you!

(Verse 2)

In the halls of glory, we gather ‘round,

Warriors like you, they all wear the crown.

From every battle, every sword that’s swung,

We raise our voices, our victory’s sung!

(Pre-Chorus)

Odin’s waitin' with a feast,

Roast meat and mead, it’s the Viking’s dream.

No more fightin', no more fear,

Raise your cup up high, the good times are here!

(Chorus)

Welcome to Valhalla, my friend,

Where the party never ends!

Dancin' with the gods, you’ve earned your place,

Now let’s drink and sing, in this sacred space!

Welcome to Valhalla, you’ve made it through,

Now the stars are shinin’ just for you!

(Bridge)

The Valkyries came, they took your soul,

Now you’re livin' forever, rockin’ and roll!

No more battles, no more fight,

Just endless nights of joy and light!

(Chorus)

Welcome to Valhalla, my friend,

Where the party never ends!

Dancin' with the gods, you’ve earned your place,

Now let’s drink and sing, in this sacred space!

Welcome to Valhalla, you’ve made it through,

Now the stars are shinin’ just for you!

(Outro)

Raise your glass, the fire’s burnin' bright,

You’re home now, warrior, in Odin’s light.

So, welcome to Valhalla, it’s all for you,

Where the fight is over and the joy is true!
