The Naglfar Saga: Mother Hel

Oh Mother Hel, I’m standing here

A man of fear and sorrow

I’m on my knees in front of you

To plead for mercy,

Mother Hel, I lived my life

In a fatal way of darkness

Forgive my soul and set me free

I lived my life in a malicious way

Hate and grudge were my constant companions

Now I regret what I have done

I beg you to spare my soul

All my sins are coming back to me

All my doings brought me to the abyss

Now I realize my faults

Oh, grand goddess, please forgive me

Warrior, the golden hall is out of reach for you

Your soul is doomed, for you there is no rescue

Valhalla is reserved for the worthy men,

So I’ll send you to the abyss again

As an undead, will-less body

I will send you on board of the Nail-Ship
