Oh black raven, my raven; |
|
What have you foreseen. |
|
Dark tidings and woe, |
|
Rich pickings for death. |
|
Let the gods wipe my tears, |
|
With this falling rain. |
|
Let this lake be my graveside, |
|
And woods the golden hall. |
|
Our braves long since fallen, |
|
With the tides of the war. |
|
Our words no more spoken, |
|
I'm ready to fall. |
|
Bare message, my raven; |
|
To gods I long to see. |
|
Blackbird of the chosen, |
|
Bare this prayer for me. |
|
Oh black raven, my raven; |
|
Bare message for me. |
|
Come closer the foe, |
|
And take my last breath. |
|
Blackbird of the chosen, |
|
Bare this prayer for me. |
|
Let the gods wipe my tears, |
|
With this falling rain. |
|
Let this lake be my graveside, |
|
And woods the golden hall. |
|
Bare message, my raven; |
|
To gods I long to see. |
|
Blackbird of the chosen, |
|
Bare this prayer for me. |
