Gates of Asgard (version 2)

Verse

Walls of fire that rose from the fjord's black ice

Myrs' iron gates where no enemy found place

I was forged like them — unyielding, unfed

Einar's son — born to hold every thread

Gudrid and Ira waiting on the wall

Their spears sharp as the wind through ravens' call

The Norns were weaving this tapestry of steel

Each life a single line in a pattern they'd reveal

Odin watched from above with eyes like the night sky

Huginn and Muninn flying low where my heart lies

They whispered secrets I would soon have to name

In that moment, I knew I was born for fame

Pre-Chorus

Ragnarok draws near — every god will fall

But before it's done, Einar's line must stand tall

I'll take the torch that burns in my father's hand

For the gates of Asgard won't hold what's coming, I command

Chorus

Gates of Asgard

Burning with iron and fire

Every warrior who dies will be reborn higher

This is my story — I am the one they're waiting for

Verse 2

Skalds sang of Sigurd's dragonslayer hand

I had to prove it true, not just a legend's stand

The Northmen needed victory in their blood and bone

So we marched where the gods themselves once made war known

Heimdall stood watch over Bifrost Bridge so bright

But I brought fire to his gate like a final light

The giants raged with all the power of the earth below

I cut them down like autumn leaves that turn to snow

Pre-Chorus

Ragnarok draws near — every god will fall

But before it's done, Einar's line must stand tall

I'll take the torch that burns in my father's hand

For the gates of Asgard won't hold what's coming, I command

Chorus

Gates of Asgard

Burning with iron and fire

Every warrior who dies will be reborn higher

This is my story — I am the one they're waiting for

Bridge

The world may burn but we don't lose our way

For we are Northmen, born to face the fray

No darkness can extinguish what we hold inside

Even if all falls, Einar's bloodline will not divide

Chorus

Gates of Asgard

Burning with iron and fire

Every warrior who dies will be reborn higher

This is my story — I am the one they're waiting for
