Vetrnaetr, or Winter Nights, are the three days that begin the Winter season, when sacrifices were held to ensure good crops for the coming year.
lyrics
Enter the Sacred Grove, Odin is calling
Consecrate life with death, blood of the fallen
Nine are the trees that are set on the pyre
Sing for the Valkyrie, Come Odin's Daughters!
Sing of the night, Sing Vetrnætr's songs
Disir dance in shadow, calling all men home.
Chanting the battle song, gather the fallen
Wolf skinned my warriors, reapers of men
Rage of the berserk, feel Odin's calling
Bear bloody shields to the doors of Valhalla!
Enter the Sacred Grove, Odin is calling
Consecrate life with death, blood of the fallen
Nine are the trees that are set on the pyre
Sing for the Valkyrie, Come Odin's Daughters
Reddened with blood, altar raised to the gods
Mead for the one eyed, Father of them all
Shieldmaid of Welkin, Queen of the war field
Brides of the raven and bringers of doom,
Carry me home to the halls of the fallen
To feast with my Fathers, Einherjar all!
Enter the Sacred Grove, Odin is calling
Consecrate life with death, blood of the fallen
Nine are the trees that are set on the pyre
Sing for the Valkyrie, Come Odin's Daughters
Enter the Sacred Grove, Odin is calling
Consecrate life with death, blood of the fallen
Nine are the trees that are set on the pyre
Sing for the Valkyrie, Come Odin's Daughters
Then light cracked the sky, the thunder of fell hooves
Carrying across the corpse strewn field, as the Valkyrie descended
Mail shirts caked in blood, spear tips sharpened
Sing of the night, sing Vetrnætr's songs
Disir dance in shadow, calling all men home
