Listening to Siegfried’s Death and Funeral March *again*, would’ya believe?
A sword age, an axe age!
Iniquities multiply!
A wind age, a wolf age
‘Til the world lies in ruins!

Got a new laptop, have been setting it up and as with everything I'm scared of botching it, so I'm testing out everything slowly as I install Firefox, my archaic iteration of Photoshop, and I'm now installing tablet drivers.
So I grabbed Excalibur to test out the DVD drive and of course it plays Siegfried's Death and Funeral March at me. This again.
NEVER GO ABROAD FROM HOME
AHEAD OF YOUR SWORD AND YOUR AXE
YOU CAN'T FORTELL A FIGHT
NOR FEEL A BATTLE IN YOUR BONES
THEN THE EARL TURNED TO HIS CHIEF ARCHER, FIN (OR WHO WAS A FINN, AND AN EXPERT ARCHER) AND SAID; SHOOT THAT TALL MAN BY THE MAST. FIN SHOT, AND HIT EINAR'S BOW WHILE HE WAS DRAWING IT AND BROKE IT IN TWAIN. "WHAT WAS THAT, THAT BROKE WITH SUCH A NOISE?" THE KING ASKED. "NORWAY, LORD, FROM THY GRASP," EINAR REPLIED.

Wagner - Siegfried's Funeral Music (George Szell - Cleveland Orchestra) https://youtu.be/Uka8ykFDw2U via @YouTube
A WOLF SHALL DEVOUR THE SUN AND THIS WILL BE CONSIDERED A GREAT LOSS
ANOTHER WOLF SHALL DEVOUR THE MOON
AND THIS TOO SHALL CAUSE GREAT MISCHIEF
#WouldYouKnowMore
EAT THE SUN, DEVOUR THE MOON!
A SWORD AGE AN AXE AGE
INIQUITIES MULTIPLY
A WIND AGE A WOLF AGE
UNTIL THE WORLD LIES RUINED
NO MAN SHALL TRUST ANOTHER

ah yes and we're right back from "Holy Grail" to "Excalibur," cranking Siegfried's Death and Funeral March.
Shields shall be rent! A sword age, an axe age, iniquities multiply! A wind age, a wolf age, 'till the world lies in ruins! #WouldYouKnowMore
oh YEAH let's listen to a batch of Wardruna and filk "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" to be about Odin.
He sees when you are sleeping and knows when you're awake, from his seat in Hlidskjalf. He's making a list, he's checking it twice, half for his chosen while the rest serve in Sessrumnir. #WouldYouKnowMore
GO NOW AND DON'T LOOK BACK
BRING MY GREETINGS TO THE GREEK KING!
LO THERE DO I SEE MY FATHER
LO THERE DO I SEE MY MOTHER AND MY SISTERS AND MY BROTHERS
LO THERE DO I SEE THE LINE OF MY PEOPLE BACK TO THE BEGINNING
LO THEY DO CALL TO ME
A SWORD DAY, A RED DAY
ERE THE SUN RISES!
RIDE NOW RIDE NOW
RIDE FOR RUIN
AND THE WORLD'S ENDING!
