My days are numbered: soon I have to leave The Norns have stretched my living thread The notion of my demise won´t leave me be Why cannot death just set me free!
I´ve lived a life or prosperity But I´m not as young as I used to be Down the road waits misery Why cannot death just set me free!
Countless armies have I attacked Not once have I backed down And though I´ve spilled a lot of blood I never once received a mortal wound
I´ve raided shores in many lands I cannot count the men I´ve killed So many friends died with sword in hand But the warrior´s death was never granted me
I dress myself in battle clothes Alone I make the final ride My sight is blurred, by whipping snow
I seek to end my life
I want to walk across the Rainbow Bridge And see my fathers in the golden hall They beckon me to join their feast In my dreams I hear their call
