The Road to Hel

Nifelheim's mist flows
About the golden bridge
Between her world
and our own.

She readies a feast for
Those who come to share
The long grey eternity
Of death with her.

Those who make war
On Midgard's wold
Seek not to tread
The road to Hel.

They rather seek
To find the path
To Bifrost, and the
Allfather's board.

The Way is not easy
For the sons of men.
To die with sword is
better than bed.

Mighty deeds fulfill
The rede of Orlog
And mighty hearts
Will find the way.
