Ballad of the Swords

Across the moor, we Norsemen rode

And skalds to us song

That days of glory soon should be

When swords blood-red were swung

One eyed father give us strength

My brave kinsmen and I

In Valhalla, I, your mighty men will meet

If I in this battle die

From the sky, your ravens watching me

Both of them I see

Thank you, Father, for letting me know

You watch over me

At the moor, the ravens spoke to me

While skalds did their song

A bitter loss was soon to come

For those I were among

Across the moor, we Norsemen rode

And skalds to us sung

That days of glory soon should be

When swords blood-red were swung

I say to you, I ask you to

For once be your own lord

Come with me, be a part of my

Ballad of the swords

A sudden clash, where swords were drawn

Was the beginning of my end

With a Norseman's pride and courage, I fought

I would to hell them send

Instead, I felt, cold chilling steel

Stab me from behind

A craven deed, indeed it was

Peace he should not find

Faded I did, strange beauty I met

The dream for me came true

Brought up I were, bifrost I saw

My mortal life were through

Your mortal life, with children and wife

Wouldn't have no value

If you knew as I about life up here

You would die to be here forever

Across the moor, we Norsemen rode

And skalds to us song

That days of glory soon should be

When swords blood-red were swung

I say to you, I ask you to

For once be your own lord

Come with me, be a part of my

Ballad of the swords

Brought up I were, bifrost I saw

My mortal life were through

Your mortal life, with children and wife

Have no value if you knew as I

Life up here, you would die to be here forever
