The song For Eldra is based on the real historical prayer Ahmad Ibn Fadlān recorded during his encounter with the Rūs people in AD 922. According to Ahmad Ibn Fadlān’s recordings he witnessed a Rūs Viking funeral. This encounter has been recorded and preserved through the ages. You may know his story from the movie The 13th Warrior.
The prayer goes as follows:
þar sé’k fǫður minn;
þar sé’k móður mína ok systr mínar ok bróðir mina;
þar sé’k forfeðr mína allt til upphafs;
-
Lo, There do I see my Father
Lo, There do I see my Mother and My Brothers and my Sisters
Lo, There do I see the line of my people back to the beginning
