The Road to Helheim
Who will sing me
In death’s sleep sling me
When I walk the road to Helheim
And the tracks I tread
Are cold, so cold
I sought the songs
I sent the songs
When the deepest well
Gave me drops so mighty
Of the Slain-father’s pledge
I know all, Odin
Where you hid your eye
Who will sing me
In death’s sleep sling me
When I walk the road to Helheim
And the tracks I tread
Are cold, so cold
Early or at day’s end
Still the raven knows if I fall
When you stand by the gate to Hel
And when you must tear loose
I will follow you
Over the Gjallar bridge with my song
You will be free of the binds that bind you
You are free of the binds that bound you
Cattle die
Kin die
The self dies as well
But word
Never dies
Of he who does good
Cattle die
Kin die
The self dies as well
But I know one thing
That never dies:
The judgment of a dead man
