A Prayer Of Battle
We go now to battle fiercelyIn a fearsome distant land
I pray to you, o great gods
To put victory in my hand
Thor, guide my hammer
Let it swing swift and free
May it have great ease
And crush many of my enemy
Frejya, grant them death
May my efforts be strong
So that my foes will fall
And my battle be not long
Loki, lend me your trickery
That I may be unexpected
And my actions be quick
So my pyre be not erected
Hœnir, make me have reason
That I may think quickly
And my choices take effect
So tomorrow I may see
Tyr, give me great glory
May my efforts be known
And my deeds sung of
Long after my sons are grown
Odin, lead me to my victory
Give me a great and bloody fight
So that I may feel glorious
By the fall of this night
