Broken Scepters of War

Shattered shields

Names and memories old

Bannered spears

Rings and scepters of war

Karen

Fire's wings

Oaths of loyalty sworn

Laughter ceased

From my brothers who're gone

I remember

I remember it all

I remember

Broken scepters of war

As I see

All the battles we fought

And our cheers

Keep us warm from the cold

I'll remember

I'll remember it all

I'll remember

Broken scepters of war

"Deyr fé, deyja frændr,

Deyr sjalfr it sama,

Ek veit einn, at aldrei deyr:

Dómr um dauðan hvern.

Fullar grindr sá ek fyr Fitjungs sonum,

Nú bera þeir vánar völ;

Svá er auðr sem augabragð"

A snake can bite

Where we can't see

It's poisoned tongue

That made them speak

And scales took

Over their eyes

All we could do

Was stand and fight

I remember

I remember it all

I remember

Broken scepters of war

I'll pour my mead

Drink for the hird

And feed the ground

For those whose deed

Was finished when

They fed the crows

And I'll remember

Everyone
