Written by multi-instrumentalist Quorthon, “Valhalla” deals with Viking themes. It celebrates how Vikings, in their life, pray their Gods, make sacrifices and follow high ideals of wealth and glory in order to reach Valhalla after death.
[Verse 1]
God of thunder who crack the sky
Swing your hammer way up high
In chariot of gold ride across the clouds
The black storm is unfold, burning mist is but a shroud
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Seeds and honey, milk and blood
A sacrifice to thunder god
Laid in ship of oak on final sail to fate
Steel is at side, drifting to the open gates of
[Chorus 1]
Valhalla, shields of gold
Valhalla, great warriors hall
I swing my sword in the wind
I feel the powers all within
[Refrain]
Valhalla
Valhalla
[Verse 2]
God of thunder, lightning, rain
The winds of glory whispers your name
Pounding pounding of hooves and wheels
Forks of lightning at your heels
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Sword of steel held up high
Lightning strikes from blackened skies
Fallen heroes in battle slain
Awaits my arrival at the gates of
[Chorus 2]
Valhalla, shields of gold
Valhalla, great warriors hall
I raise my fist to the air
In the creed of powers and glory swear
[Chorus 3]
Valhalla, shields of gold
Valhalla, great warriors hall
I swing my sword in the wind
I feel the powers all within
[Chorus 3]
Valhalla, shields of gold
Valhalla, great warriors hall
I raise my fist to the air
In the creed of powers and glory swear
[Outro]
