Drunken Viking

de Apexwolf Beats

The fire burns low in the quiet hall
Snow whispers at the door
Your shield still leans against the wall
But you will walk through it no more

The ravens know the wind has said
What my heart already knew
You crossed the veil on bloodied ground
And the gods have welcomed you

I did not beg the skies to change
Nor curse the thread they spun
I stood in silence head held high
As the Norns cut you from the Sun

Go now love to the golden hall
Where fallen heroes stand
Where mead is poured and songs are sung
By Odin's chosen band
I will not weep you into shadow
Nor chain you to my pain
I will raise our son with your fire in him
Until Freya calls my name

Your voice still lives in our boy's laugh
In the way he grips his blade
In how he rises when he falls
Unbroken unafraid
I will teach him more than war and steel
More than scars and might
I'll teach him mercy truth and oath
And how to guard the light

I'll tell him how you faced the storm
With iron in your breath
How a man can love with all his soul
And still not fear his death

So feast tonight in Valhalla's glow
Let the war-horns call you home
I will keep the hearth-fire burning bright
I will not walk alone
Every step he takes your name will rise
Carved deep in living flame
I will raise our son with your fire in him
Until Freya calls my name

Freya, gentle keeper of love and loss
Hear a widow's vow tonight
When my hands grow weak
When my hair turns white
Guide my steps through the fading light
Do not rush me
But do not forget me

Mother to son
Ash to flame
Love outlives the sword and name
What you were
Lives in him

When my time comes I will walk unafraid
Through fields of falling leaves
I'll lay my grief beside the door
And breathe in ancient peace
And if I find you waiting there
Beyond the mortal plain
I will smile and take your hand
When Freya calls my name

The hall still stands
The hearth still glows
And love
Love never goes
