Einherjer - Dead Knight's Rite

As thunder borne upon the wind
Was heard the battle's wild uproar
See the angels of the dead
Seek blood dripping crimson red

Amidst the heaps of foemen slain
Drenched with battle's bloody rain
On the plate-mail rattled loud
The arrow-shower's rushing cloud

Spear-torrents swept away
Ranks of foes from light of day

In the dark the spears were whet
Grimly pointed metal shone
Dread the weapons of the knights
Battered shield and blood-smeared swords

Ravens, rain-soaked lurked the feast
Nesting redly the deceased
Grim the jaws that shook their shields
Red the fangs that bit the bones

Spear-torrents swept away
Ranks of foes from light of day

Einherjer is a term for a warrior who has rightfully fallen in battle (as chosen by a Valkyrie).

A Valkyrie is a half-god (Always a women) who chooses who has deserved to fall in a battle (it is a goal to be chosen to fall in battle for a viking)

The word Einherjer itself means "those of one army". The Einherjer were slain warriors, who upon death, were taken to Valhala by the Valkyries to join Odin's army. In Valhalla, they feasted all night and battled all day, wounds miraculously healing. Thus, they endlessly prepared for Ragnarok, when Odin would call upon them to fight along side the Aesir (Gods).
