Herjan


Eightfold hoofbeat when the storm seed sprouts
Voracity and greed are raging frenzy-unified
And battle-falcons whirl down the cloud-tower
Set fire to my dark - to my Ginnungagap

Concealed in Borr’s vapour, at the boundary wall of this world
Far from white impostors by whom Midgard might fall
I raise a stronghold, for now and all time
My horg shall yield to no one - immune from enemy’s hand

The Steelwolf furrows, sowing grudge and salvation at once
Carves staves to summon the one who awaits in the otherrealm
My body shall be thy field, so till it with blood
Harvest time has come! Raise thy hackles!

As soon as my sacrifice stains the carvings,
My grief-dew ‘neath the yule-moon awakens the thirst for revenge,
Thunderously and quiveringly approaches
The legion of the dead - Herjan ahead

Kneel before Herjan - the battle-disposer
Kneel before Herjan - the suicidal lord
Kneel before Herjan - the self-hangman
Kneel before Herjan - the deed, the word
Kneel before Herjan - the all-raiser
Kneel before Herjan - the lord of the Æsir
Kneel before Herjan - the world-watcher
And find him within your innermost core

...and Gungnir flies above our heads
Thus we bow ourselves to Allfather’s sway
From now on shall burn one word within our souls:
Ragnarök, the final strife!
