Honored dead

Barred from rest

Soul of grief, revenant

Stir of shale

Fever-tale

Fled in shame

From frozen Hel

And the dark

Cradles doom

As the dead

Stalk their tombs

(Honored dead)

Robber’s end

Thence you strayed

Hence you met

Honored dead

Fate of men

Forever bathed

In your regret

Laid in straw

In the twilight room

Spurned by gods

Hate consumes

In black hall of regret

And bitter truth

Where he who forsook

Sleep of death

Forever holds

His final breath
