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 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
