"And Io, do I see my father |
|
And Io, do I see my mother |
|
And my sisters and my brothers |
|
And the line of my people, |
|
|
|
Back to the beginning... |
|
And Io, they do call me, |
|
In the halls of Valhalla |
|
Where the brave may live forever!" |
|
|
|
From death's embrace I awaken |
|
Clutching the sword my life had taken; |
|
Roofs thatched with gold |
|
Songs of warriors old |
|
In Odin's court |
|
|
|
My eyes behold splendor untold! |
|
What be this place? |
|
What maiden brought my sould herein? |
|
These are the halls |
|
Of glorious Valhalla! |
|
|
|
Step forth ye hammerheart, |
|
Blessed champion of the Gods! |
|
Heimdall will guard it |
|
Vidar will welcome |
|
|
|
In Odin's court our Einherjer brethren! |
|
Come o beloved of the Raven, |
|
Feast on flesh and mead; |
|
Forever and all time |
|
|
|
'Till Ragnarok arrives! |
|
These are the halls |
|
Of mighty Valhalla! |
|
|
|
Heimdall will guard it |
|
Vidar will welcome |
|
In Odin's court |
|
In Odin's court |
|
|
|
I return to the ancient tree; |
|
What was, shall forever be |
|
Every nche resounds eternally |
|
Warlike triumphant song |
|
There in Odin's court! |
