text: Winter's Fire is for Chris Cornell, whose voice and music has seeped into this saga like mead into the feasting table.
  
  The maidens of death came riding
  
  To claim his battle-slain kin
  
  But Sigurd was Óðin-kissed, men said,
  
  And the fire burnt within.
  
  A boy no more, he killed a jarl
  
  And fled with half a crew.
  
  So swore his vengeance on the king
  
  As young men often do.
