Foreboding Dreams

Theudho


Dreams of darkness, 
Dreams of death 
Dreams of darkness, 
Slowly hastening its tread 

Grim dreams torment me at night 
Dreams which I foresee my own death 
No distinct memory remains 
Of these things that haunt my sleep 
Only visions of my own demise 
Lurking in the shadows of my mind 

"Fear not, my troubled son. 
All things on this earth will pledge an oath 
Never to harm you in any way; 
No evil will ever cross your path." 

Mounted on his eight-leafed steed 
Vegtamr rode to the depths of Niflher 
To resurrect a dead seeress 
Who confirmed Balder's untimely death 
Proclaiming the downfall of the word 
Before sinking back into her grave
