Fate of Norns
I feel a chill in my heartLike lingering winter coldI and my son are torn apartHe was just 6 winters old
My first-born was heAnd the last of my kinThe last one to carry my nameDeath smiled at him its deadly grinThere is no one for me to blame
The fate of Norns await us allThere is no way to escapeThe day to answer Oden's callOr walk through Hel's gate
I carry him to my shipHe seems to be asleepBut the deep blue colour of his lipsIs enough to make me weep
No man should have to bury his childYet this has been my shareThe tears i shed run bitter and wildIt's a heavy burden to bear
His body feels so light in my armsHis skin is pale as snowYet his weight feels heavy in my heartAs my sadness continues to grow
Allfather!What fate has been given me?Why must I suffer?Why must I feel this pain?Allfather!Life has lost its meaning to meI think I'm going insane!
I lay him down on a pyreA burial worthy a kingAnd as I lie down by his sideI hear the weaving Norns sing
The fate of Norns await us allThere is no way to escapeThe day to answer Oden's callOr walk through Hel's gate
The fate of Norns await us allI know this to be trueIt's time to answer Odens's callMy son, he calls for me and you
