brother- folk we have been since we first breathed this air through our youth we dreamt of battle and to ride the long night with the valkyries high we watched our fathers and folk heed the call of the one-eyed all-father falling in battle the nourns wove this to be their fate valhalla- the great hall awaits our fallen folk
setting sail from home mother-north the cold deep black ocean waves dont take us below two times twelve in numbers fill each dragon ship guided by his ravens to foreign shores thor protect us -your brothers
now we stand on enemies land axe in hand and prepaired to fight provoking tyr to fight with us, his rune Tiwaz etched in our blades in this battle you fall, hear the coming in the sky so high with tyr and thor we fought in this realm but with oden you shall in the next valhalla the great hall awaits my fallen brother
the winds flesh peircing doth call your name through the woods on a ship of oak we place your body, axe and sword all wrapped in cape like baldyr's pyre up in flames its set and let free to drift with the tide a blot and celebration held for our fallen odins new einherjer a rune song echoed to the great hall of the all-father passing around the ale-filled horn the mead doth flow for today you did pass yet we celebrate memories not grief for today my brother was a fine day to die

that was just fucking awesome! i raise a flaggon to you man! the first stanza was my fave, it conjours images and to me thats what's most important in lyrics. starting with "brother- folk we have been since we first breathed this air" and ending with "valhalla- the great hall awaits our fallen folk" is nice. i like the way you've done that.
