|
My days are numbered, soon |
|
I have to leave |
|
The Norns have stretched my living thread |
|
The notion of my demise won't leave me be |
|
Why cannot death just set me free? |
|
I've lived a life of prosperity |
|
But I'm not as young as |
|
I used to be |
|
Down the road waits misery |
|
Why cannot death just set me free? |
|
Set me free |
|
Countless armies have |
|
I attacked |
|
Not once have |
|
I backed down |
|
And though |
|
I've spilled a lot of blood |
|
I never once received a mortal wound |
|
I've raided shores in many lands |
|
I cannot count the men |
|
I've killed |
|
So many friends died with sword in hand |
|
But the warrior's death was never granted me |
|
I dress myself in battle clothes |
|
Alone, I make the final ride |
|
My sight is blurred by whipping snow |
|
I seek to end my life |
|
I want to walk across the |
|
Rainbow Bridge |
|
And see my fathers in the |
|
Golden Hall |
|
They beckon me to join their feast |
|
In my dreams |
|
I hear their call |
