Carved in runes,
Sung by swords
Praised by Skalds,
The glorious names
Of the honored dead!
We will never forget
Our comrades in arms:
Well carve it in runes,
Their fame and their deeds
The legend they wrought!
Carved in runes,
Sung by swords
The tales of glory
And warriors old,
That never fade!
I would gladly give up
My life for a moment
Of life as they lived it,
To walk in honor, not shame:
To stand proud, never to crawl
Carved in runes,
Sung by swords
The sagas yore,
The heroic odes:
Are never forgotten
In Valhallas hall!
