Song: Fate Of Norns
Artist: Amon Amarth
Album: Fate Of Norns

I feel a chill in my heart
Like lingering winter cold
I and my son are torn apart
He was just 6 winters old

My first-born was he
And the last of my kin
The last one to carry my name
Death smiled at him its deadly grin
There is no one for me to blame

The fate of Norns await us all
There is no way to escape
The day to answer Oden's call
Or walk through Hel's gate

I carry him to my ship
He seems to be asleep
But the deep blue colour of his lips
Is enough to make me weep

No man should have to bury his child
Yet this has been my share
The tears I shed run bitter and wild
It's a heavy burden to bear

His body feels so light in my arms
His skin is pale as snow
Yet his weight feels heavy in my heart
As my sadness continues to grow

Allfather!
What fate has been given me?
Why must I suffer?
Why must I feel this pain?
Allfather!
Life has lost its meaning to me
I think I'm going insane!

I lay him down on a pyre
A burial worthy a king
And as I lie down by his side
I hear the weaving Norns sing

The fate of Norns await us all
There is no way to escape
The day to answer Oden's call
Or walk through Hel's gate

The fate of Norns await us all
I know this to be true
It's time to answer Oden's call
My son, he calls for me and you

And who says Black Metal is just a bunch of noise?

Here is a bit of information on the references to the Norns: http://www.wikipedia.org/Norns

When I read that, I thought it was amusing that the characters from Ah! My Goddess were named after these same characters and that the tree in the movie is the same Yggdrasil tree. lyncollege had me watch Ah! My Goddess a couple weeks ago.

/me plays Twilight Zone theme song.
