|
Guardian of the bridge |
|
Between the realms |
|
Of gods and mortal men, |
|
Stand your ground and scan |
|
With thy keen eye the far |
|
Horizon wherein only thou can see - |
|
Look for the end of days, |
|
Look for the coming |
|
Of dreaded Ragnarok... |
|
Grasp the hilt of your mighty sword, |
|
And sound the charge on Gjallarhorm! |
|
Guardian of the bridge, |
|
Call the Gods out of their halls - |
|
Bid Odin leave the golden walls |
|
And ride ahead, leading the Aesir forth |
|
Into one final war - for the glory |
|
Of the eternal and everlasting |
|
Fame of a warrior who fought |
|
And died on the side of light |
|
Whereon rides the day-bringing God... |
|
Guardian of the bridge, |
|
Between the sky and the sea - |
|
Heimdall, son of Odin, |
|
Thee I call! Descend from above |
|
And guard what is most sacred for me: |
|
My virtue and my honor |
|
In times of death, fire and war... |
