|
The black stone lights the way to far |
|
Where Baldur waits the sleeping star |
|
To spin like sunlight darkened black |
|
And boldly sign the northern pact |
|
Where screaming ravens soar the sky |
|
And mighty winds the ships defy |
|
Walvater's army marches on |
|
To battlefields that light the dawn |
|
The southern plague is thus defiled |
|
To bring splendour to the northern child |
|
Where twilight roads lead Thulian way |
|
And destroy the ones that led astray |
|
The new north shines like starry night |
|
The martyr falls in black sun's light |
|
The stone is set in middle earth |
|
To eternal guide the blood's rebirth |
|
[Halvdan:] |
|
- "Ill omens my friend, look, Ymir's blood drifts into the dawning sun, |
|
And colours it as red as raven's mead, I warn you again of this dark ambition!" |
|
[Vidar:] |
|
- "Aye, an ill omen indeed. My heart weighs heavy, as this accursed |
|
Sign is like heavy iron on my chest. I fear this mad quest of mine shall not continue." |
|
[Halvdan:] |
|
- "Will you accept their offer then? Please, our time is done here. |
|
This new way speaks of peace, we can fight this no longer. The King has said thus." |
|
[Vidar:] |
|
- "Aye... the crucified one is your King now my friend. We have forsaken it all. |
|
Our history, our culture, our heritage, our blood. Our gods... we have killed them, |
|
And there, there is their blood..." |
