Brunahild's Lament

Would that there were another way
For us to be as one;
But the gods have turned their backs on us
And now what's done is done.

Those wolvish eyes, I have loved,
I have now betrayed;
By the gods, how I wish now that
My heart had never strayed.

But you left me all alone, though
You were not to blame;
And even though my heart knew this,
I hated you all the same;

You who rescued me from the
Hell where I had been;
I have now offered you up
To the fears of men.

So let me lay here now upon
Your silent chest;
Your sword will find a new home
Deep within my breast.

Let us now rest together upon
This funneral pyer;
We will sleep the sleep of ages
As the flames grow higher.

My raven's wings will guide us
To Valhalla's walls;
There we will stay, you and I,
Watching as Ragnarok falls.
