Return to Valhalla

Twenty-six years ago this day
A dragon-ship sailed from Asa Bay
My blood-brother set sail to sea
Ere I was born, the sky to see
Eleven years ago, on blackened wave
My brother returned to home of brave
Dead he was, his sword was wrent
Ere I was grown, my runes un-read
When I was young
My trail untrod
Before my soul did cry
Great-brother fell
On foreign coast
Dines now in hall up high
Six years ago, now grown am I
My heart baptized in fire and ice
First steps I've trod on warrior's trail
Greatsword reforged, my ship sets sail
Below oars cut through the sea
On these waves I'm sailing free
Sound the horns, my time is now
Serkland rising across the bow
Set shores in flames
Honor and fame
My home up in the sky
The ancient truth
From father to son
I speak, now hear my warrior's cry...honor
Oars below cut through the sea
Hooves thunder across the sky
Horns resound, calling me home
This is my Return to Valhalla

By Which We Set Sail
07:23

I stand upon the cliffs
The waves crash on the shore
The wind whispers the tales
Of bloodshed, death and gore
A favor-wind blows now
Carrying to the west
Our ships towards new lands
So men take now your rest
The stars...are aligned...in the sky
Rest...brothers, soon...we shall set sail
We wish to see those lands
Beyond the western sea
Turn your backs on the dawn
And claim eternal glory
We stand upon the cliffs
The bones of Mother Earth
Our hearts aflame for knowing
We'll leave the land of our birth
The gods...have spoken...spoken the word
The time...has come, soon...we shall set sail
Cold...northern winds...fill our sails
Waves...are with us...the time has come
Men...glory and death...await over sea
Yea...I see the sign...By Which We Set Sail

Into the Mist
06:12
|
|||
|
The ice has broken free
One morning in the spring
We ten times five must leave
Sent to war by the Thing
Beset on sea by storm
Through dead and dark of night
By wind on raging seas born
No moon or stars in sight
Row men
For all you're worth
Now is not the time for surrender
Forward
Into the Mist
Gods have shown me, this is not my end
Our limbs cannot go on
Soaked and cold to the bone
In our hearts we all fear
Out here we'll die alone
Far away from family
Gone from home and country
Look out into the night
No sight of land we see
Row men
For all you're worth
Now is not the time for surrender
Forward
Into the Mist
Gods have shown me, this is not my end

Black Wings Over Midgard
05:40
|
|||
|
Lightning strikes
I hear the thunder roar
Black crow cries
I am afraid no more
Hammer of the Gods, protect my path
On this warrior's trail to great hall up high
All my enemies shall fear my wrath
Wait for me, Odin, as I go forth now to die
Light of the North Star, upon me shine
Luminate my path to the great hall
Blood of North-Men, in these veins of mine
Glory and homeland, for you I'll spill it all
Black Wings Over Midgard
Tell me that my path is sure
Odin, lord of Asgard
Your hall my home assured

Frozen Lake
06:19
|
|||
|
Deep in the dead of winter
Ice chokes the water in the bay
Out from the warmth I have come
Bring those from village gone astray
Walked out on a frozen lake
Deceived by the one-eyed god
To fulfill my duty to my king
To protect his children from all harm
Slowly I take my final steps
My lord's sons a few paces yon
I hear a sound, I go slowly
One misstep on icy crust I'm gone
The ice begins to break
I feel the fractures under my feet
Now breaks the rime and frost
I cry in fright as I meet the deep

Asgardreia
08:15
|
|||
|
Galloping horses of the Aesir
Thundering 'cross the sky
Warning to mortals to run and hide
Or else you're gonna die
Odin he leads the Valkyrie-hordes
Armor all painted with blood
Geri and Freki roar the omen of war
Stand you not in the way of
Asgardsreia...the wild hunt of the gods
Asgardsreia...they ride the sky against all odds
Asgardsreia...thundering hooves across the sky
Asgardsreia...if you're caught you shall die
Seeking the souls of brave warriors
Bring them into great hall above
I wait the end of my warrior's trail
Odin up high let me join the
Asgardsreia...the wild hunt of the gods
Asgardsreia...they ride the sky against all odds
Asgardsreia...thundering hooves across the sky
Asgardsreia...if I'm caught I shall die
