By striking steps from the centuries depths,
The welkin of grey hides a long-ago sign.
Hatred for foes – the distant stars light.
Who passed a blaze – feels no fear now.
Ravens whirl. Peal of thunder awakes
Courage. Rumble is heard, blood dictates.
Everlasting fight to the last strength.
Norns are still spinning stronger fate threads.
To join battle, the wise Avatar leads.
The spearman is brighter than hundred moons.
Through reverie shades, loyalty ‘til death.
On swords of steel a day-spring is based.
Ardent black smoke of the altar of war,
With no borders regard, whirls aloft the soil.
An eagle shadow-figure, nocturnal woods call.
Fire tongues keep traces of the past aeons.
Wolves’ den is amongst granite rocks.
Aspiration of will is in bayonets spikes.
Millions of hands are a new era voice.
Bonds yoke was cast off by pure spirit minds.
In the flashes of flame – white serpents’ dance.
Runes became parched on divine lips.
The truth cognition ray is in rustles of night,
In the soil blackness, in the whisper of winds.
