An aventail () or camail () is a flexible curtain of mail attached to the skull of a helmet that extends to cover the throat, neck and shoulders. Part or all of the face, with spaces to allow vision, could also be covered.

I've fought on many shores
And seen my fair share of war
But the Norns have twined my threads of fate
On this battlefield I lie
And await my time to die
As the sun sets on this fateful day

As the light fades
I close my bloodied eyes
As I cross the rainbow bridge
I see Valhalla's light

Now my time has come
To the cold I will succumb
I'll cross the rainbow bridge and answer Odin's call
Summoned by the Valkyries
I will finally be at peace
Soon I will ascend and reach the golden hall

As the light fades
I close my bloodied eyes
As I cross the rainbow bridge
I see Valhalla's light

My life has been so full of war
But I did my duty to Odin and to Thor
But the time has come for me to join all
The warriors who feast in Odin's golden hall

As the light fades
I close my bloodied eyes
As I cross the rainbow bridge
I see Valhalla's light

Come to me, my son
It's time for you to come home
Come to me, my son
You will not face death alone

Come to me, my valiant son
Come to me
Come to me
Come to me, my glorious son
Come to me
Come to me

Come to me
Come to me
Come to me
Come to me, you are free
