The song is a Viking funeral hymn, set to Gustav holst' "Jupiter" from the planets composition. He's also speaking of his music, coming from the north to the world, and thanking all those who listened to it. I do also think it was a farewell, considering he knew he could die young and was at the time done recording music. But over all, it's just his take on a Viking dying and saying goodbye and to not cry for him, because his life was good, and he's now with his brothers in Valhalla.
