lyrics

Fallen in battle

No eastern dawn, no grey wolf howling
No axe or spear on blooded shield resounding
No victory cheers, no hero's portion
No golden mead, no harpists' praising

My broken shield, my shattered sword
My cloven helm on battle field abandoned
My battle cries now in silence fallen
My standard torn, thrown down and trampled

Heaven, Valhalla or endless void
My last battle now all behind me
What was it for, this earthly strife?
What did I gain, if I lost my life?

No eastern dawn, no grey wolf howling
No axe or spear on riven shield resounding
No victory cheers, no hero's portion
No golden mead, no harpists' praising

My broken shield, my shattered sword,
My cloven helm on battle field abandoned
My battle cries now in silence fallen
My flesh and blood, all now lamenting

Heaven, Valhalla or endless void
My last battle now all behind me
What was it for, this earthly strife?
What did I gain, if I lost my life
