And through the night The moons will shine their light And keep at bay The One who comes to claim The home we've made Amongst the glade With stone and sweat and blade Heilir æsir, heilar ásynjur, heil sjá in fjölnýta fold Translation: (Hail to the gods! Ye goddesses, hail, And all the generous earth!) And through the trees The wind will howl and scream A warning cry The Dark One has arrived With shields and flame Our home in twain We roam and search for light again Heilir æsir, heilar ásynjur, heil sjá in fjölnýta fold

Bartender: So fill your drinks And grab a chair There's someone here With news to share So listen closely All you rogues, warriors, and knaves I present to proudly The Traveler to the stage Traveler: There's trouble on the road behind A darkness brewing in our time A new moon rising A shadow in the sky A sound in the distance A song or a war cry A fire lights the horizon A cold wind blows right through When death is upon us What's a bard to do? Well fill my glass and drink through the night Sing some songs for those lost in the fight Fill my glass and drink through the morn' Fill my glass and drink! All: La la la la la Traveler: The sound of screams will fill the air Mingled with the cries and prayers A child losing a mother A friend losing a friend A plea to the heavens A cry for it to end A fire lights the horizon A cold wind blows right through When death is upon us What's a bard to do? You know what we're going to do All: Well fill our glass and drink through the night Sing some songs for those lost in the fight Fill our glass and drink through the morn' We'll fill our glass and drink... And fill our glass and drink... And fill our glass and drink through the night

When the storm breaks The fight won't subside And the world shakes I see you Broken and battered, alone Alone, so far from home No strength left to fight on Within my embrace The blood and the mud Stain your face A whispered last breath A prayer to the goddess for death Death, that endless rest A last gasp of life's warm caress Heill, Heill dagr Heilir dags synir Heil nótt, Heil nótt ok nipt Heil nótt, Heil nótt ok nipt Translation: Hail, day! Hail, sons of day! And night and her daughter now!
