We walked together all unknowing

Beneath the lights burning cold

Sky was lost the night was stolen

We sought our way to the sundered kin

One found his way beneath the hammer,

Found himself on the path of Thor

He learned to laugh to craft and battle

He’s among the lost no more

One found her way to the honey goddess

Learned of magic and of love

Freya taught her fire’s passion

She won’t be out in the cold no more

We were walking those remaining

On the streets so dark and grey

There were so many strangers shouting

To stop our search for the sundered kin

One found the one armed warrior

Found the iron law of Tyr

Found what it means to live your honour

He can be lead astray no more

One found herself before the hearth fire

Found Mother Frigga waiting there

Taught her patience, craft and wisdom

Her children will be lost no more

We met again beside the fire

Strong and proud we told our tales

Followed paths across the nine-worlds

And forged again our sundered kin

The high one laughs and soars above us

Eight hooves pounding on the wind

His folk are gathered all together

Never will be sundered again
