Across the Rainbow Bridge
My days are numbered: soon I have to leaveThe Norns have stretched my living threadThe notion of my demise won't leave me beWhy cannot death just set me free!
I've lived a life of prosperityBut I'm not as young as I used to beDown the road waits miseryWhy cannot death just set me free!
Countless armies have I attackedNot once have I backed downAnd though I've spilled a lot of bloodI never once received a mortal wound
I've raided shores in many landsI cannot count the men I've killedSo many friends died with sword in handBut the warrior's death was never granted me
I dress myself in battle clothesAlone I make the final rideMy sight is blurred, by whipping snowI seek to end my life
I want to walk across the Rainbow BridgeAnd see my fathers in the golden hallThey beckon me to join their feastIn my dreams I hear their call
