It's Still Life

The Likes of Heaven

Hence comes Wind over
waves giant as never seen
likes from heaven.

Hence comes an eagle,
its wings long string runes.
He is called Corpse-Swallower.

Dweller of this earth,
they say He comes on Wind
with tidings of the Three Norn*.

He owns the Hundreds,
but first, more potent a spell,
Æsir’s kin must sit again.

*The Norn are 3 Fate-like females that live below the Yggdrasil tree. They control the fate of humans and gods.
