Odin

I sit beside the fire
Tankard of mead in my hand
Thinking of the comming battle
And what i do understand

I know i may die in this
Fighting for life and limb
Seeing my enemys charge me
Never letting my wits grow dim

I know the future is approaching
Where i must stand and fight
For my axe is here gleaming
And my sheild is in my hand

The battle is almost upon me
My blood boils in my vains
I stand and let out a warcry
As i will never be ashamed

My heart starts to beat faster
And my soul crys out his name
Odin please protect me
For i will always fight in your name
