I hear the cry of the black birds,
Hugin and Munin I see watching my every move.
Battle is near, Odin is seeing how I will react, or warning me.
When battle arises, I will not retreat. I will meet them with a smile, wanting to spill blood.
May Odin deem me worthy if I fall, and the valkyrie's take me up to Valhalla.
I will meet with Odin, and my ancestors waiting for me in Asgård.
I like this one, the idea that it is thought - thought and memory - that you meet on the field puts the whole thing in the mind, which is right, I think. And I'm also aware in any battle Odin sometimes has the better man fall to more quickly fill his shield-tiled hall. good stuff.
