A Viking Death


A Viking Death
By Lord R.e. Taylor

For sure he lived a noble life
Defending his homeland
Raising his family as he should
And generally being a good man
That one night he went away
Supposed to only be a few days
As always, he fought well
Killing many men who wanted to kill him
It only took a second or two
Four arrows entered his body
And went straight into his soul
Angels from his goddess, Freya, came to welcome him
And to take his soul to Ásgarðr
Where he can celebrate thy life, he lost
Remember the battles he had won
And morn the loved ones he left behind
The only way a Viking can die
