Wotan arrives on the ravens call All around me slaughter, the bravest fall Blood drains from my weary bones In battle I will stand Would that I, o valfather Be found to wait when Heimdall calls Freya rides from Asgard far Take me to the heroes hail Sword I swing and spear I thrust Ever fighting for folk, I must Grind your teeth and bite your shield No enemies longer will walk the field Bleeding and coughing, I did my deed As life drains free like tears of man Be found to fight when Heimdall falls Be found to wait when Heimdall calls To thy battle of greater fields To see eye to eye, the heroes of old To know that I am counted bold Would that I, o valfather Be found to wait when Heimdall calls Freya rides from Asgard far Take me to the heroes hall Wotan arrives on the ravens call All around the slaughter the bravest fall Blood drains from my weary bones In battle I will stand
