[Verse 1] We march to war, my kin at my side Huginn and Muninn cut the sky Thor’s voice rolls over the hills Rain on steel, red on the fields Shield to shield, we hold the line Muddy earth and a broken sign [Chorus] Valhalla waits for me Valhalla waits for me My kin still stand in fire My name goes up on the pyre [Verse 2] The fallen lie in a heavy drift Helm by helm, and the spears adrift We won the day, but paid the cost Too many songs were nearly lost I took one blade, then another light The world went black in the heart of the fight [Chorus] Valhalla waits for me Valhalla waits for me My kin still stand in fire My name goes up on the pyre [Bridge] Now I wake where the brave are kept On the edge of halls where the ash has slept I drink to the ones who still remain I hear their steps in the pouring rain If they fall, I’ll know their names When they arrive, I’ll rise in flames [Chorus] Valhalla waits for me Valhalla waits for me My kin still stand in fire My name goes up on the pyre
