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 as hard as stone They have come to take farewell In silence they mourn 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 day turns into night One thousand burning arrows Fill the starlit sky Two ravens on the longship They spread their pitch-black wings And lift up to the burning sky A send-off for a king Into flames the longship burst into flames Black smoke is rising high To the eternal night Into flames the whole world burst into flames Nothing will be the same Things will forever change The flames are raging higher They gnaw at wood and flesh Soon the ship will break apart And sink into the depth This night we drink in silence And when the morning breaks Our king has left this world to walk Through Valhalla's gates
