The fog clears away
I can see not much remains
Soon we fall into
unguided disarray
Maybe we always knew
that it could end this way
This battle may be lost
but the war is still underway
Odin, behind you!
I see the wolf, Fenrir
He's already swallowed the Sun
The underworld has won
With one eye you have seen
more than I could ever dream
I can still see Odin ride
his eight leg steed
across the sky
He's surrounded by
the Valkyries
Bone to bone
Blood to blood
and limb to limb
Odin lived
like the legacy he created
The battle draws to an end
Odin's death has been avenged
but that brings little peace
and still the mood is grim
The ending feels flawed
How could this be the fate of our god
Yet Odin still lives on
in the prose and in our songs
