Winterfell
"The Veil of Summer"


Asatru


Cross now to other lands the winds will take you,
Cross now beyond the icy Northern Sea.
The path left untaken is another's adventure,
The sword left unwielded is the saddest of things.

Do you rest on shores of darkness?
Do you hear their haunting call?

Winged thought and memory watch over our journey
as Odin awaits what the Valkyrie bring.
And just as he knows he will fall there at Ragnarok,
so, still he rises to his destiny.

I will not falter,
we sail by the moonlight,
and follow the wings of the dragon.
behind, the stone and the steel,
meets warm-blooded thunder,
which longs for the wings of the dragon,
again...

Drums pound, as we sail onward.
Red sands, we leave behind.
Think back, to lands we've wondered.
Dream of what we've yet to find.

Hel's fire, burns inside you.
Steel and Ice, will lead the way.
Crush all, who stand before you.
The Gods have called for blood this day.

Set sail to other lands the winds will guide you.
Masters upon the icy Northern Sea.
Your victories will capture the eye of the All-Father,
Such is the fate of great men such as thee.

I will not falter,
we sail by the moonlight,
and follow the wings of the dragon.
behind, the stone and the steel,
meets warm-blooded thunder,
which longs for the wings of the dragon, again...
