The heart beats in his throat,
the eyes are clear and wide,
he feels no fear of death,
with sword and shield in his hand.
A horn blast calls to fight,
Shield to shield to the dense wall,
with a firm step in the enemy's ranks and then
Steel meets steel.
One blow breaks the shield,
the next blow hits the enemy.
He feels the cold blade and the warrior's defiance and strength
in his last battle.
Winner today,
dead tomorrow,
/>That is the warrior's eternal fate.
