Hel awaits heroes

The north wind tears the sails apart,
Grey waves are hiding the eyes.
The battle is over, the ice is broken,
Ancient dreams are drawn in blood.
Shadows glide over the cooled earth,
Their path is laid in a thick shroud.

Припев
In the dark halls, threads entwine,
Hel waits for heroes in a cold abode.
There, where Odin's hall does not shine,
The soul finds eternal peace.
Without the valkyries' cry, without the noise of feasts,
She accepts the tired sons.


Fallen brothers walk in silence,
Foggy trails call them into the distance.
Steel is shattered, shields are heavy,
Their step sounds in the realm of eternal winter.
The roots of Yggdrasil are hidden in the gloom,
There is no sorrow here for the past fate.


The bridge of bones trembles underfoot,
The guard at the gates stands resolute.
Who did not end their path in Valhalla,
Has drunk their portion in the silence.



Припев
In the dark halls, threads entwine,
Hel waits for heroes in a cold abode.
There, where Odin's hall does not shine,
The soul finds eternal peace.
Without the valkyries' cry, without the noise of feasts,
She accepts the tired sons.


Quiet... Only the whisper of frozen water.
Hel takes. Hel remembers the tracks.
The sleep is endless, the pain is over.
The winter maiden takes control.
