[Intro]
Take one
[Verse 1]
Heal my wounds
Cleanse my blood
It's too soon for my life to be spilled
Into this mud
Cure my flesh
Rest my bones
I don't want to end my life all broken
And bodily torn
Soothe my mind
Ease my pain
Let me see the shores of my homeland
Once again
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Come healing
Come strength
Valkyria grant me
A life of worthy length
[Chorus 1]
Eir
Eir
And when it is time, please bring me

[Verse 2]

Before I left our home
I promised that I would return
You begged me to stay

No promise I gave I have broken
I've always been loyal and just
No words or lies I have spoken
So why did i earn your distrust?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Come honour
Come trust
Valkyria grant me
The strength to keep my oaths
[Chorus 2]
Vár
Vár
And when it is time, please bring me
To the Allfather's hall
[Outro]
