Warrior's Death Song
Warrior's Death Song
Father of all things,
You who presides over this life,
I commend myself to you.
I challenge this strife!
I come not in beggars stance,
But proud, as befits a warrior!
My head is high, unbowed.
I have fought well,
Many enemies have fallen!
My knife and spear have drank deep!
I come to you in honor,
I do not seek your pity, but
I greet you as befits a man.
I acknowledge your greatness,
But I bend not my knee in supplication.
Greetings Great Father,
I am home from the battle!
Father of all things,
You who presides over this life,
I commend myself to you.
I challenge this strife!
I come not in beggars stance,
But proud, as befits a warrior!
My head is high, unbowed.
I have fought well,
Many enemies have fallen!
My knife and spear have drank deep!
I come to you in honor,
I do not seek your pity, but
I greet you as befits a man.
I acknowledge your greatness,
But I bend not my knee in supplication.
Greetings Great Father,
I am home from the battle!
