Sweet Sorrow - "Einherjar" |
EINHERJAR He was born to a noble father Highborn kinsmen - they rejoyced This child long expected Brought new hope to dying blood Long has been the need for heirdom All the men were getting old Growing age has brought new worries Now this child sheds new light As his father died in war, he knew what has awaited him For now he's next in line, bravery the only choice The war has come, to claim new lives Your kindred sprits, await await cry They follow you to uncertainty Fight, conquer death, but most of all don't be scared If you die, on your horse, golden hall you will see There you live another life, your own death is held high Your family name is praised, beyond life and beyond death Open your eyes, you are no longer alive, they have come for you On the eight-legged horse The spirit is leaving your body, now dead on the ground, the ravens join you on the rainbow bridge. Now that you are dead, you should no longer care Now you are in this better place At the end of this great big hall You see your father he's like you When the end of time comes you will fight together It no longer matters who is old and who is young Side by side, aided by the Aesir This wil be the last fight of the Men to have Open your eyes, you are no longer alive, they have come for you one last time One eyed old man, All-father the great, his ravens above him, look down on you You've proven yourself, they want you again, to lead all mankind, when their time retuns No longer uncertain, for your fate what will be, you are safe your spirit is bound to return |
