A track about Þórir Jökull Steinfinnsson, who was captured following the Battle of Örlygsstaðir. With the poem recited.

If any pronunciation is wrong please excuse, I don't speak any Scandinavian languages and don't want to insult anyone. I thought it was a great poem to write a song about.

From album Langlifr https://herknungr.bandcamp.com/album/langl-fr

Lyrics
Upp skal á kjöl klífa,
köld er sjávar drífa.
Kostaðu hug að herða,
hér skaltu lífið verða.
Skafl beygjattu skalli,
þótt skúr á þig falli.
Ást hafðir þú meyja,
eitt sinn skal hver deyja.

Onto the keel you climb,
Cold is the ocean brine.
Keeping courage though,
Locked in a deadly throe.
Baldhead, show no fear,
showers fall on you here.
With maidens you had a way,
All must die one day.
