Lyrics

Creator of life. guardian of the dead
Goddess of battle and war
All of ye watch me. my sword by my side
Proudly I sit on my horse

And I wait for the sign in the sky to appear
Telling me that the moment has come
For me to ride beyond the edge of this world
Into the realms where the shadows are strong

Gods of thunder of wind and of rain
Valkyries my soul is yours should I fail
Let my beheaded and battered corpse lay
And take me where you bring all nordsmen slain

Gods of thunder of wind and of rain
Hugin and munin my eyes in the sky
Heart of mine thrown in the pit of the snake
I will not need no heart where I go should I die

Realms of the shadows bring me no fear
I may stand or be beaten and torn
The mountains will stand. but the life of a man
Was decided long before he was born

Leaving the plains where my ancestors hunted
For meat and for hides against the cold
Here the fire was tamed. here our sword were made
And here the elders amazing takes told

I ride into land few have seen or returned from
To tell of it's bleakness and dark
I see nothing but mist and the mountains so tall
I can't tell them and the sky apart

Gods of thunder of wind and of rain
Valkyries my soul is yours should I fail
Let my beheaded and battered corpse lay
And take me where you bring all nordsmen slain

Gods of thunder of wind and of rain
Hugin and munin my eyes in the sky
Heart of mine thrown in the pit of the snake
I will not need no heart where I go, should I die

Realms of the shadows bring me no fear
I may stand or be beaten and torn
The mountains will stand. but the life of a man
Was decided long before he was born

Gods of thunder of wind and of rain
Valkyries my soul is yours should I fail
Let my beheaded and battered corpse lay
And take me where you bring all nordsmen slain

Gods of thunder of wind and of rain
Hugin and munin my eyes in the sky
Heart of mine thrown in the pit of the snake
I will not need a heart where I go, should I die

[Atop a ridge between the two worlds...]
[The untime...]
["Halting his stallion for a brief second, taking a deep breath of cold air,]
[He hesitates for a moment while his feathered friends fly ahead. as the]
[Frozen wind tears at his face, he is reminded of his origin, that he is of]
[Flesh and blood and not of this world. he, a young man, chosen by destiny.]
[Putting his faith in magic and that subtle thing known as fate. he is]
[Depending on an immovable trust in an old sword, a stallion given birth to]
[By the wind and the spells of a woodwoman. not even the cry of the ravens,]
[Urging him on, can take his mind off what lies ahead of him. feeling smart]
[Next to these mountains, so gigantic they unite with the sky, he somehow]
[Finds the spirit to continue. having come this far, already well into the]
[Valley of death, it makes little sense in returning.]
[And thus he follows the ravens..."]
