After the battle under the blood red sky
As the crows feast on the dead
Lamentations rise among the warriors
The great king has fallen

Now raise the mound
Over the black ship
Let the sacrifice begin
Honor thy master
With your own blood

The fallen lord shall rest in his grave
Lay him down with all his weapons
So he will find eternal peace
And sit among the mighty gods

Bond-women five
Shall follow him
And eight of my thralls
Well-born are they
Children with me
And mine they were

As you have served in life
You will follow him into death
Put a rope around your neck
And stab you with a knife

Flames lighten the northern sky
And massive pillars of smoke
Elevate the spirit to the afterlife
And guide him to Valhalla

Now rise the mound
Over the black ship
Let the sacrifice begin
Honor thy master
With your own blood
