The King Is Gone

His journey has begun
Thy sword is by his side
Both together fought in war
His life was written in blood
I take his place in the throne
Because the king is gone
He died into the battle
As gods ruled
Within the Asgard realm
Guided by the valkries' fly
A place is waiting for him
Odin proclaims his name
Thy blood he bled to fight
Thy crown and ring are mine
His body burns in flames
Thy remains rest oversea
The horns give their last farewell
Burning arrows cross the sky
He died into the battle
As gods ruled
Within the Asgard realm
Guided by the valkries' fly
A place is waiting for him
Odin proclaims his name
His journey has begun
Thy sword is by his side
Both together fought in war
His life was written in blood
I take his place in the throne
Because the king is gone
