Gates Open (versione 2)

Verse

Gates of the longhouse swinging open wide (wide)

Horn on my shoulder, iron at my side

Baldur's shield is mine, I stand with the Nine (Nine)

The ravens whisper secrets left behind

Sleipnir stamps, his mane a-flowing bright (bright)

Odin's raven wings take to the night sky

Ragnarök has started and we ride tonight (tonight)

For honor, for glory — I'll never be right

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it?

Can you hear the drums in your chest now?

The battle-horn is calling out the brave (out the brave)

Chorus

Gates open!

Ride with me through fire and steel (fire, steel)!

Gates open!

Let Odin's wind sweep you into the fray (fray)!

Verse 2

Tyr watches from above — a warrior's name is his game (his game)

He writes our fates in the frost that gleams on my blade (blade)

Freya weeps for us fallen but she knows the fame (fame) of war

I'll hold her golden necklace until we ride to Valhöll's shore

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it?

Can you hear the drums in your chest now?

The battle-horn is calling out the brave (out the brave)

Chorus

Gates open!

Ride with me through fire and steel (fire, steel)!

Gates open!

Let Odin's wind sweep you into the fray (fray)!
