They bring him to the shore, his ship is ready made He will not see them anymore, here he cannot stay The brotherhood is gathered, their faces hard as stone They have come to take farewell, in silence they march Our king has left our ranks, a wise and noble man We owe him loyalty and thanks, he ruled with a steady hand He will be missed by all, his heart has now been stilled Tonight he'll dine in Odin's hall, there he'll drink his fill The ship glides gently on the waves, as they turn into night One thousand burning arrows fill the starlit sky Two ravens on the long ship, they spread their pitch black words And lift up to the burning sky, a send off for our king Into flame, a long ship burst into flames Black smoke is rising high, to meet eternal night Into flame, the whole world burst into flames Nothing will be the same, things will forever change The flames are raging higher, they moor and would have burst Soon the ship will break apart and sink into the dead This night we drink in silence, and when the morning breaks Our king has left this world to walk through Valhalla's gates This night we drink in silence, and when the morning breaks Our king has left this world to walk through Valhalla's gates This night we drink in silence, and when the morning breaks Our king has left this world to walk through Valhalla's gates This night we drink in silence, and when the morning breaks Our king has left this world to walk through Valhalla's gates *
