lyrics

Outro “Cattle Die…”

Praise not the day till it is done
Till all the stories have been sung
Pour the mead and raise a toast
May all the Aesir hear your boast

Praise not the sword till it is tried
In all your battles by your side
Praise not the maid till she is wed
Remember her name when she’s dead

Cattle Die Kinsmen Die
I know one thing never dies
Cattle Die Kinsmen Die
I know one thing never dies

Raise a horn to all the fallen, the new dead and those long gone
Raise a horn to all our kinfolk, who won't be there to greet the dawn
Their names are remembered, their memory lives on
When names are remembered they never are gone

You cannot praise life till it is over
Be they friend or be they lover
You cannot change the course of fate
For the small or for the great

If all the world could weep one tear
Then Frigga could hold her son near
But Odin cannot change a course so deep
Nor can I, yet still I weep

Cattle Die Kinsmen Die
I know one thing never dies
Cattle Die Kinsmen Die
I know one thing never dies

Raise a horn to all the fallen, the new dead and those long gone
Raise a horn to all our kinfolk, who won't be there to greet the dawn
Their names are remembered, their memory lives on
When names are remembered they never are gone

The Allfather works, the Elves understand
The Vanir know, the Norns all fate ensure
Ividja gives birth, the Thurses wait
The Valkyries yearn, but we will endure
