Solefald

I have not tasted bread for weeks
Snow is what I eat and drink
My saga the saga of hunger and need
The father of my father ancestors of my kin
The skald told the story of my house
Here I lie like a dead man
A weak wreck of no worth
At the Crater of the Valkyries
The angels of Odin my master
Take the dead home from battle
To Valhalla
Here I am as a nobody
Awaiting the beating of wings
Of the godly women who fill the sky
Black wings on their shoulders
Helmets hide white faces
They will take me to Valhalla
Not as a warrior
Hall of Od
Skald I be
Skald through the runes
Let Fate decide
If you shall live or die
Fall into the volcano
Or still suffer under the stars
Skald do you see the raven
Munin is its name
It turns the rune
That would have you
Fall into the flame
Skald do you see
The raven by your side
As you throw the runes
To settle life or death
Are you still to see
The blue of the sky
