For Ragnarok

With foul words these kings have spoken
battered helmets and shields broken
unions of bronze blades
muddy corpses in bloody glades
Strong arms block blows that felled giants
in place of these dueling tyrants
pushing ever forward into the fray
cut down friend or foe if cross thy way
spears held high for one last charge
one more battle cry before they barge
into the great wolf’s den descend
all’s well, here at the world’s end

The title really drew me to this one. Just recently I went to a random party in south Houston with a Valhalla theme...It was even more crazy than it sounds, haha. It was a blast though...I've always loved Norse Mythology..."Vikings" on the History Channel is one of my favorite shows..lol so yeah, I dig this a lot. Great work
