Blood-Red Shield

Falling snow over mountains
Time to go on this road again

On the silent shore I await
for the long boats to return home

See the trail of the ancient glory
See the sky where the ravens reign
See the sign of the distant thunder
Oden’s light that will show the way

Father, I stand as the equal to the chosen
whom are given your power
to wield and to carry the honor
‘cross the seas to the lands of endless spring

Clad in iron with blood-red shield
Path of destiny is revealed

Blood-maiden proudly stands on the battlefield
Shield-maiden, she will feast in the halls of the dead

Father, I lay as the equal to the fallen
whom are given your mercy
to stand in the courts of Valhalla
and to be in the land of endless spring
