Mythos Project #4- Sword In Hand (Bravery)

I want to die with a sword in my hand

It is a symbol of fear to those I fight

A token of battles across the land

A testament to my bravery and might

I will honor the gods with sword and shield

Odin, Thor, Heimdall, and Tyr

I am their earthly hand that sweeps across the field

It is my prowess my foes fear

A sword in my hand will send me to Valhalla

To fight alongside the heroes of old

Hlod, Ragnar, Sigurd, and Ingjald

Fear... we know not the word

Mythos Project #2- Valhalla Is Near

Valhalla is near, I can feel it,

In my bones and in my heart.

From the blood on my chest and in my beard,

I can tell that the time is near.

What a battle it was!

With a sword in one hand and shield in the other,

I have instilled terror in the hearts of men all over the Northlands.

What a blow he gave me!

Curse the man who slew me!

May he rot from the inside out,

And the wolves eat his flesh,

And the ravens peck out his eyes!

What a chill I feel!

The wind freezes my feet,

The moon hides behind the clouds,

Dark and cold is my demise,

And so is my countenance.

What a feast there will be!

With sword in hand, Brynhildr will carry me to Valhalla

May Odin and Thor welcome me,

Tyr and Njördr congratulate me,

And raise a toast in honor of my life.

Valhalla is near,

I can feel it in my bones...

Mythos Project #1- Oh, Helm And Hammer!

Oh Thor and Odin protect us

Let us be swift and mighty

Give us gold, mead, and women

Bring down the helm and the hammer

Oh Heimdall and Baldr be with us

We sail on the waves to green isles

Send winds to blow in our sails

Bring down the spear and the sword

Oh Loki and Hel don't betray us

Wreak havoc on those we attack

Let us die with a sword in our hands

Bring down the arrow and the axe

Oh for the helm and the hammer

Bring us strength for the fight,

Peace in the night,

And keep the shore forever in sight

May the helm and the hammer

Be with us 'til we die

Be with us 'til we die
