Valhalla Calling

Intro

(Hu! Ha! Hu! Ha!)

(Valhöll... Valhöll...)

Raise the raven banner over mountains of skulls

Cold wind at my back — I am Ragal Ironbull

Verse 1

Boots in the marrow-snow, marching where the frost bites cold

Wolf-hunger in the eyes, every story I was born to hold

Raised on the world-tree, weaned on the iron and the war

Sharpening my syllables — I carve the saga, settle the score

Sent a hundred southern men back as ash on the morning wind

Huginn at my shoulder telling Allfather where the storm begins

They mistook my silence for surrender at the harbor wall

Then the longships hit the shore like the thunder 'fore the gods fall

Pre-Chorus

And the sky goes red, and the cold goes deep (goes deep)

And the dead rise up from their frozen sleep

If they take me down on the bloody snow

Lift me on a shield where the gods can see

Chorus

Valhalla calling — can you hear the horns? (the horns!)

Carved out of winter, I was born for war (born for war!)

Shield-wall holding while the heavens fall (heavens fall!)

Valkyries riding, gonna carry me home (carry me home!)

So beat the drum, beat the drum till the mountains move

Valhalla calling and I'm answering soon

Verse 2

Ragnarök rumbling, Fenrir slipping the chain

Skies cracked open and the Bifröst breaking in flame

Thor with the hammer, splitting the serpent's spine

Norns at the loom, still weaving the thread of mine

I don't pray for mercy, I was never built to kneel

Carve my deeds in runestone, let the future read the steel

When the Allfather counts the brave at the end of all the war

I'll be standing at the gates with a thousand kills and more

Pre-Chorus

And the sky goes red, and the cold goes deep (goes deep)

And the dead rise up from their frozen sleep

If they take me down on the bloody snow

Lift me on a shield where the gods can see

Chorus

Valhalla calling — can you hear the horns? (the horns!)

Carved out of winter, I was born for war (born for war!)

Shield-wall holding while the heavens fall (heavens fall!)

Valkyries riding, gonna carry me home (carry me home!)

So beat the drum, beat the drum till the mountains move

Valhalla calling and I'm answering soon

Bridge

(Odin! Odin!) Open up the hall

(Skál! Skál!) Pour the mead for us all

(Hu! Ha! Hu! Ha!) Stomp until the mountains call

We are the Einherjar — and we never fall

(Valhöll! Valhöll!) Sing it to the sky

We were born to fight and we were born to die

Chorus

Valhalla calling — can you hear the horns? (the horns!)

Carved out of winter, I was born for war (born for war!)

Shield-wall holding while the heavens fall (heavens fall!)

Valhalla calling and I'm answering soon

Outro

(Valhalla calling... calling...)

Raise the horn one final time

(Valhalla calling... calling...)

I'll see you on the other side
