Rise flames,
Consume the flesh.
Honor this warrior
of Dalgrundur's own.
The Master of the Fallen,
Claim his body.
This funeral pyre,
An Altar makes.
The Black Champion
Calls us all to battle
That holy ritual,
Made more so in death.
As the flames die,
The spirit released,
To protect and guide
His kin true.1
