I'm thinking it might have something to do with the swords...

Longevity questioned = Long Sword
The blade below = Ragnarok
You're not asleep = Sleep Sword
Is that ice, do you know? = Ice Brand
But still, you stand = Ancient Sword
"dirt" around your knees
as still as a statue
As silent as the trees.

However, those last 3 lines I'm not sure of. Also I could be way off, or I just solved 62% of it for someone....oh well.
