For Asgard

ENTERED IN THE LEGENDARY UNDERWORLD COMP.
 
 
"Lo, there do I see my father.
Lo, there do I see my mother, and my sisters, and my brothers.  
Lo, there do I see the line of my people back to the beginning.  
Lo, they do call to me.  
They bid me take my place among them.  
In the halls of Valhalla  
Where the brave may live  
Forever."
               - The 13th Warrior
 
Upon the Bifrost I ride,
From the mists
With the Valkryies before me.
I go to face the All-Father
Will he see the warrior I am to be?
 
To die in war, my only wish
Show my worth
During the spin of the clock.
Will I stand with my own fathers
When I go to face the tides of Ragnarok?
 
Rise, Einherjar!
For strength and honor.
Rise, Einherjar!
One last time
And into final war!
 
The sky is bright with golden sheen
Eternal
Where the immortal still stand guard.
I long to join the ranks of Thor
And take the battle among the shining stars.
 
Eons pass, the shadow lies before
Infernal
To lay waste to worlds below.
We will soon rise to ride and meet
The damning evil and deal a mighty blow.
 
Upon the horizon
There stand the Gods
Odin, Thor and Frey.
Sleipnir neighs
On mighty legs as
Gungnir lights the day!
 
But from the darkness
Stir the beasts,
Serpent, Wolf and Queen.
Draugr await
For warm flesh and blood
Shadow consumes day!
 
At last, the twilight of the gods
Here and now,
The final battle has arrived.
I must be brave and stand here firm,
As my family below sees fire in the skies.
 
We march in our father's names
In honor,
We will face the monsters before.
Here and now, the death of gods,
Lay witness to all at the final war.
