I shall never know death

I shall never know death

 

 

No boat will I be placed,

in honor of my death.

 

Odin will not send his Valkyries to claim me,

and carry me to Valhalla to await Ragnarok.

 

Nor will Freyja allow me entrance to Folkvangr.

 

I shall be cast out,

my name stricken from the books.

 

My sword shattered and thrown to the seven realms,

my armor and shield to rust away and be taken by the winds.

 

No soul will I be allowed,

no mist will take me.

 

My crime was so great,

that the Gods themselves have disowned me.

 

No hall of feast will I dine in,

for in death my greatest flaw was not loving you as a Goddess.

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

In Norse mythology, Valhalla (from Old Norse Valhöll " the hall of the slain") is a majestic, enormous hall located in Asgard, ruled over by the god Odin. Chosen by Odin, half of those who die in combat travel to Valhalla upon death, led by valkyries, while the other half go to the goddess Freyja's field Fólkvangr. In Valhalla, the dead join the masses of those who have died in combat known as Einherjar
