Beacon in Black Horizon - The Flight Of Sleipnir

Emerge from the evening mist

Congregation with torches lit

A solemn path to stone filled shores

A ship awaits for the voyage home

Corpse in ceremonial form

With sword and shield adorned

Kinsmen silent in mourning

The ravens call resounding

From midst the tinder

Spark births rising flame

The horn sounds

In the distance

Its resonance

Beckons the fire

Orange glow reflecting endlessly

Upon the tides of an abysmal sea

Shimmering light

The end of an era

Drifting from this realm

In all its splendor

A beacon in black horizon

Return to the halls of your fathers

Drink to your glorious deeds

Sing songs of battle and honor

Reunite with the olden kings

The now distant fire has ceased

What remains is claimed by the sea

They lift their heads to the rising sun

The last shadow of night has gone

From the forest echoes the distant cries

Lo!

Lament for out chieftain died

A stone ship for our once great king

May it guide his way to the halls on high

Though his body will wither away

His legend and glory will never fade
