Nine nights he ride through valleys of darkness No light, nor shadows for nine nights so black The river so fierce kills all the sounds The bridge he must cross, the bridge of the dead The path to Hel where only the pale can pass The gates of Hel where only the dead can pass Carry me Sleipner fast as the wind Fly Sleipner, fly over the gates To enter the halls of death To enter the dead ones fate To enter his brothers grave To enter for his return All must weep, all must sacrifice Their tears of life for his return
