``` The shield-wall broke when the sun went grey My kindred sleep in the drifting white I hold my ground where the slain now lay One breath of steam in the failing light No horn will sound, no wall will hold I sing them down at the edge of the cold Come the long night, come the raven's call Let them hear one voice that will not crawl So let me fall where the fallen lie One last song thrown at the sky No stone, no grave, no name at all Just lay me down where the snow falls I could have run when the ranks all fell Bought a coward's year, a borrowed day But my blood-kin wait where the dead men dwell And I'll bring my sword when I go their way Let the cold roll in and steal my breath I will sing my way through the door of death Come the long night, come the raven's call Let them hear one voice that will not crawl So let me fall where the fallen lie One last song thrown at the sky No stone, no grave, no name at all Just lay me down where the snow falls Snow on my eyes Snow on the slain The world goes white And it knows my name So let me fall where the fallen lie One last song thrown at the sky No stone, no grave, no name at all Just lay me down where the snow falls Now sing me down where the snow falls One voice left when the last horn calls Sing me down where the snow falls ```
