"Much I have travelled, much have I tried out,
much have I tested the Powers;
from where will a sun come into the smooth heaven
when Fenrir has assailed this one?"

"Brothers will fight and kill each other,
sisters' children will defile kinship.
It is harsh in the world, whoredom rife
—an axe age, a sword age
—shields are riven
—a wind age, a wolf age—
before the world goes headlong.
No man will have
mercy on another.

"When our homes are threatened, hear my call. we'll fight for vengance and to dine with the god's. those who fall in battle will be taken by the Valkery's and feast in the great halls of Valhalla!"
