Visiting my Nordic ancestry

Holding, the midnight sunsets rays
bestow on me a parting gift
deaths final curtain as portraid
leave a crack, through which to slip

How true the fireside stories told
as on the longboat, depart the shore
uncertain journey, stepping bold
towards the next, tommorows doors

When falls the winters crispest snow
hunt with giants, gallop wild
naked in the strange arora`s glow
painted fresh and death denied

Sreaming hair, I`m a wolf apace
transformed, bathed with springtime`s pride
valor engraved on my breastplate
hadies cheated and to Hel arrived

 Through the ending mists of life
my song it echoes back and forth
gone, the well of tears and strife
towards the bridge of Gjöll`s mort

Falling like the eagles dive
beyond the devils firey veil
leaping moonstruck, end unmortified
a warrior hero, restored, regailed

The brotherhood of battles gone
Vallhalla, return to Odins throne
the brave parade, a fighting throng
home, all citidels of ice and stone

Author's Note
As the original song was I suspect in rhyme? I attempted a rhyming stanza intepretation with the obvious drawbacks of expressionisum
