Battle of Time
Monday
Moon day
Just passing through
Tuesday
Winged gods
They swoop on you
Wednesday
Woden’s day
Trade the love you knew
Thursday
Thor’s thunder
It may rain on you
Friday
Freya’s day
Week of bondage through
Saturday
Oh Saturn day
Don’t let it grow on you
For Sunday
Sun day
It will come quite soon
Shining Through On
The day of the moon
Arrives yet again
A battle with
Time
A battle
Tyr wins
Odin
The father
Of gods some unknown
Stands before Thor
Wild he roams
Freya
His lover
Never his home
Sun sets
on this Love
Until Khronu’s dethroned
Sun never vanquished
The day now his own
Sets in the distant
Giving light to first moon
