Hymn [English translation]

Nothing is forever and nothing is won in the home's hearth

Nothing is given to the one who gives nothing

No glory is found under the cover that hides a rusty sword

The meaning of life is strife for something more

There is only honor so there is still hope

Still the eagle flies at the cliff face's top

Still flies the arrow and glory with it

Still there are stern and frostbitten men

White expanses wait for the one who is ready to defy them

The great waterfall bides its time for a leader

Tough battles block the way that one day shall lead home

So still there are those that have the will and those who can

There is still honor so there is still hope

Still the eagle flies at the cliff face's top

Still flies the arrow and glory with it

Still there are stern and frostbitten men

Horn1 to the sky

Glory in your sight

It is time to cross the sea,

take the string, grip the shaft (?) 2

You can rest in the grave,

in a black and frozen hole

The wind rips, the sea swallows,

hear how the afterlife is calling,

over bones and skulls,

to the north-wind, bite your teeth together3.
