Valknot
It is my brand, burned in triplicate upon my flesh,
carved and blooded, binding me to You.
It is my armor and my shield.
Its three-fold names are many:
courage, terror pain
ecstasy, devotion, bliss.
It does not matter,
By what name You are called.
It does not matter,
by what words we seek to ward away the storm.
It will come.
