Torches light up the night
Downpour between mighty fir trees
The time was come for the ritual hunt
Alone he left his company
Fulfilling the Norse pact
Body full of the Valkyries mead
He shall bestow the beast its death
A bloody sacrifice to our all-knowing god
Bestial bersekers in wolf and bear-skin
They were Odins messengers
In the grove he stood face to face
With a dark and seething beast
The teeth told of his demise
Though he knew his time wasn't out
The axe of death hewed quickly
Bear-blood flowed everywhere
He flayed for fur and armed himself with its life-force
A bloody sacrifice to our all-knowing god
Bestial bersekers in wolf and bear-skin
They were Odins messengers
The warriors bath was by the beach
A murder-moon is arisen
They guzzle down animal-blood
So that the blood-lust may grow
Body full of Psilocybe1
With dark intent
Without chain-mail, bare in bear-skin
Made into a beast with wolf-mind
They sank fangs into their shields
Foes with hands folded
The army knew not what hit them
When they were expedited to Helheim2
The dead bathed in a sea of red
It was for this they had been bred
Thank the gifts of The One-Eyed3
That widows visit empty graves
