Peordh - An Unbroken Trust

I am not the fool
I know I do not break the rule
I live in the gods' eyes
Lasting and wise

The gods unhand their power: "Dælere!"
For the Greater Cause
I am trusted
And have trust in them

The raiders might return
But they do so as openly as the sea: "dægcuð!"
And lie under grim grin
And haunting watchful eye

For on the throne
Sits a god: "Woden!"
With a mighty eye
All-seeing and wise

He knows when the time is right
To reduce the Spiritless Realm to infinite night
