Vindsval

As the Norns Predicted

Vindsval


Urd, Werdandi, Skuld foretold 
A battle, blooded and mighty 
For the strongest should survive 
In the clashing of halberds 
Victory should depend on forged metal 
On swords, hammers and axes 
Battleships proudly set sails 
And clash on the open see 
Bloodlust should strengthen men's rage 
Weakness will be their fate 
Warriors swear oaths to their gods 
Longing for protection and will 
Listen to the Norns, they know 
For they see what noone ever saw 
The allwise ravens circle over battlefields 
To tell their oneeyed master 
That plains are drowned in blood 
That the rivers are dried up 
Forests inhale the fading souls 
Of brave warriors, fallen in battle 
Territories lost and regained 
The scepter rules over the hordes 
And when a northern fullmoon arises 
The Norns' dark whispers sound: 

" Strong Thou And Thy Men Shalt Be, 
To Shelter What's Been Thy For Centuries. 
And Each Drop Of Blood Thou Spillest, 
Shalt Stand For Each Dominion Thou Defendest ! "
