Across the rainbow bridge

My days are numbered, soon i have to leave
the norns have stretched my living thread
the notion of my demise won't leave me be
why cannot death just set me free?
I've lived a life of prosperity
but i'm not as young as i used to be
down the road waits misery
why cannot death just set me free?
Countless armies have i attacked
not once have i backed down
and though i've spilled a lot of blood
i never once received a mortal wound
I've raided shores in many lands
i cannot count the men i've killed
so many friends died with sword in hand
but the warrior's death was never granted me
I dress myself in battle clothes
alone i make the final ride
my sight is blurred by whipping snow
i seek to end my life
I want to walk across the rainbow bridge
and see my fathers in the golden hall
they beckon me to join their feast
in my dreams i hear their call
