In Odin's Court

"And lo do I see my father
And lo do I see my mother
And my sisters and my brothers
And the line of my people.

Back to the beginning
And lo 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 soul 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 niche resounds eternally
Warlike triumphant song
There in Odin's court!
