The Fate of Norns by Amon Amarth

I feel a chill in my heart
Like lingering winter cold
I and my son are torn apart
He was just 6 winters old

My first born was he
And the last of my kin
The last one to carry my name
Death smiled at him its deadly grin
There is no one for me to blame

The fate of Norns await us all
There is no way to escape
The day to answer Oden's call
Or walk through Hel's gate

I carry him to my ship
He seems to be asleep
But the deep blue colour of his lips
Is enough to make me weep

No man should have to bury his child
Yet this has been my share
the tears I shed run bitter and wild
It's a heavy burden to bear

His body feels so light in my arms
His skin is pale as snow
Yet his weight feels heavy in my heart
As my sadness continues to grow

Allfather!
What fate has been given me?
Why must I suffer?
Why must I feel this pain?
Allfather!
Life has lost it's meaning to me
I think I'm going insane!

I lay him down on a pyre
A burial worthy of a king
And as I lie down by his side
I hear the weaving Norns sing

The fate of Norns await us all
There is no way to escape
The day to answer Oden's call
Or walk through Hel's gate

The fate of Norns await us all
I know this to be true
It's time to answer Oden's call
My son, he calls for me and you

Snow Day

This is what I woke up to an then decided to go riding
this is lake Crabtree
start of ride
where I came from
where I am going
the road less traveled
that ice block at the crank set made going uphill difficult
this is why disc brakes are good I did not have any stopping power
this is after two hours of mashing through the woods

Wanderlust by Nightwish

I want to see where the sirens sing
Here how the wolves howl
Sail the dead calm waters of the Pacific

Dance in the fields of coral
Be blinded by the white
Discover the deepest jungle

I want to find The Secret Path
A bird delivered in to my heart, so

It's not the end
Not the kindom come
It is the journey that matters, the distant wanderer
Call of the wild
In me forever and ever and ever forever
Wanderlust

I want to love by the Blue Lagoon
Kiss under the waning moon
Straying, Claiming my place in this mortal coil

Riding the dolphins
Asking the mountains
Dreaming Alaska
The Earth can have but the Earth

I want to find the Secert Path
A bird delivered into my heart, so

It's not the end
Not the kingdom come
It's the journey that matters, the distant wanderer
Call of the wild
In me foreverand ever and ever foreever
Wanderlust

Look into my eyes and see the wanderer
See the mirrors of a wolf behold the pathfinder
