Barbarian battle prayer
"Everild, Hear my plea!
May my blades be strong and sharp,
My hits be strong and true,
My bows be fast and accurate
My mind be clear and cunning
Everild, I beseech thee!"
the best barb prayer I've seen
Crom! I've never prayed to you before, I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you will remember if we were good men or bad, why we fought, or why we died. No. What's important, is that two stood against many. That's what is important! Battle pleases you lord Crom, so I ask you to grant me one request, grant me REVENGE! And if you do not listen, then the hell with you!

It doesn't matter. Use whatever technique you like. However. Once I've said I'll kill you, your death is assured.
-Kenshin
To fight with swords is to take life! A fight is to decide which is stronger! There is no decision but who lives and who dies! I trained on the edge between life and death and threw everything away to challenge you! Stop chopping logic and prepare to kill me here!
-Aoshi
"When nothing makes sense, I'll fight believing only in myself."
"I destroy crazy people."

In attempt to try and bring this dicussion back to Barbarian Traditions here is the Complete Riddle fo Steel Quote from Conan the Barbarian:
Fire and Wind come from the Sky, from the Gods of the Sky.
But your God is Crom, and he lives in the Earth.
Once Giants lived in the Earth, Conan,
and in the darkness of chaos, they fooled Crom,
and took from him the enigma of Steel.
Crom was angered and the Earth shook,
and Fire and Wind struck down these giants,
and threw their bodies onto the waters.
But in their rage,
the Gods forgot the secret of Steel
and left it on the battlefield.
And we who found it, are just men,
Not Gods, Not Giants, just men.
The Secret of Steel had always carried with it a mystery,
you must its secret Conan, you must learn its discipline,
for no one, on one on this earth can you trust,
not men, not women, not beasts,
*lifts sword*, this you can trust

I see before me the Gladiator lie:
He leans upon his hand - his manly brow
Consents to death, but conquers agony
Byron
Yet each man kills the thing he loves,
By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a Sword.

Lo there do I see my father.
Lo there do I see my mother, my sisters, and my brothers.
Lo there do I see the line of my people, back to the beginning.
Lo they do call me.
They bid me take my place among them in the halls of Valhalla.
Where the brave, may live forever.
13th Warrior, best warrior prayer ever. (Sorry Conan)
