...  The  sun  areose  beyond  the  mighty  hill,

the  inlet,  ruled  by  silence,  laid  so  chill...

...  The  shadows  grew  as  the  sun  rode  high,

that  day  for  countless  people  came  to  die...

"...And  high  above  the  one-eyed  God  sat  on  his  throne

to  gaze  upon  the  whole  lands  of  Midgaard,

he,  the  Allfather,

who  allready    knows  the  end  of  every  day

sent  his  shieldmaiden  on  winged  horses

to  lead  all  those  to  Walhall  who  are  the  chosen  ones  to  die..."

...  The  dragonships  set  sail  and  farewell  drew  near,

the  thunderings  of  Thorr's  hammer  were  to  hear...

...The  elder  ones  by  whom  the  runes  were  thrown,

saw  all  those  things  through  which  their  fate  was  shown...

...A  gentle  breeze  brought  the  bloody  scent

as  spears  without  a  number  were  upwards  tend...

...Two  black  ravens  known  as  Odhinn's  eyes

circled  high  to  descend  from  the  skies...

...And  Valkyrjur  rode  at  heavens  high

to  await  the  death  of  those  who  had  to  die...

...And  to  lead  them  well  on  their  final  way

towards  the  hall  of  bronzen  shields  that  day...
