Hammerhearted

A man of great, even epic, proportions;

he lived under the Black Mark,

scoured Nordland for blood, fire and death;

he saw first-hand the Destroyer of Worlds.

He spoke to us,

in a language of chords and melody,

of screams and choral harmonies.

But it was his time,

for the All Father chose him,

aged thirty-eight years,

to enter his Golden Hall.

And so forevermore shall he feast and fight

until the Battle comes crashing down.
