Fallen on the field before the god of war
and ready to rise again with the morning sun
the flame burns brightest
in a heart that has known the ice fields
stretched white and blinding into the sun’s domain
A heart yearning for the hearthfire of Valhalla
and soon to taste that victory
as morning dawns over the spoils of war
Find us here amid the chaos
and stake your claim among the fallen
we wait here for the calling out of skies above
and listen for the signal of the fall
The fires of Helheim cannot touch us
as we call to the flame-red skies above
to rain down and burn away this world
until all that is left is the path we were meant to walk
stretching on deep into the shadows that we knew and lost

If you haven’t played Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, I highly recommend it. It’s not only a testament to the storytelling ability of the video game medium, but also to the storytelling ability of storytelling itself.

Great work. I love this piece Mitch. These lines are so strong

Verse that would rouse a 10th century viking to war, inspired by a 21st century video game… Absolutely fantastic! Now, excuse me, I have to go sharpen my axe…
