My eyes are blurred, but the inner light of my soul emerges...

Within one week, your soul shall wander about graves with the night birds, 
and your corpse will lie on the bottom of the sea.

... against your will, your body was defiled. 
That, you are not to blame for. 
But if you defile your soul, 
you will never reach Walhalla. 
Your soul will then wander over the earth 
without being able to see the light. 
Like bats and owls you will hide in your hole by day, 
and come out at night, crying and howling upon our graves, 
while Frya must turn her head away from you.

[140/07] Yesus or Buda
VMBE SIN AJN SÉLE TO BIHALDANE MOST MÀN FÜL ANDA CHERKE JÁN.
... in order to save his own soul, one must offer the temple generously.

[196/06] Askar Prepares for War

but his soul was found to be blacker than his hair
