...The sun arose beyond the mighty hill, |
|
the inlet, ruled by silence, laid so chill... |
|
|
|
...The shadows grew as the sun rode high, |
|
that day for countless people came to die... |
|
|
|
[Background voice:] |
|
"...And high above the one-eyed God sat on his throne |
|
to gaze upon the whole lands of Midgaard, |
|
He, the Allfather, |
|
who already knows the end of every day |
|
sent His shieldmaiden on winged horses |
|
to lead all those to Walhall who are the chosen ones to die..." |
|
|
|
... The dragonships set sail and farewell drew near, |
|
the thunderings of Thorr's hammer were to hear... |
|
|
|
...The Elder Ones by whom the runes were thrown, |
|
saw all those things through which their fate was shown... |
|
|
|
...A gentle breeze brought the bloody scent |
|
as spears without a number were upwards tend... |
|
|
|
...Two black ravens known as Odhinn's eyes |
|
circled high to descend from the skies... |
|
|
|
...And Valkyrjur rode at heavens high |
|
to await the death of those who had to die... |
|
|
|
...And to lead them well on their final way |
|
towards the hall of bronzen shields that day... |
