Viking funeral
Bane of the Viking,
His broken sword,
Helm scarred, swan winged,
Beard flutters as in life,
Dark leathers, stained blood,
The warrior has fallen,
'Neath enemy hammer.
Set adrift 'pon small craft,
Float towards final destiny,
The sea of ages,
Journey to the depths,
Of unearthly mysteries,
Blazing pyre shines,
He disappears on the tide.
No marker will set there,
The memory will fade,
No physical reminders,
Only warriors' tales,
Become one with the vastness,
Immeasurable depths, watery grave,
Journey through Hel to the halls of Valhallar.
