Skål

Dead on the battlefield, with an axe in my hands
My soul is gently raised, like a mother raising her son
Big wings beat repeatedly and then they fly away
I find myself in front of the great shining golden doors.

Far away, far away, I’ve finally found rest
Embracing my fallen brothers
To the gods, to the gods, we can gladly toast
In Valhalla we have been welcomed.

Odin opens the gates, all together we celebrate
We run through the rooms chasing and hunting wild boars
The feast won’t end, we will drink more.

Sharing a mead, laughing and joking
This is how we want to live for eternity
Fighting and hunting, talking about war
Putting my heart into my bright sword.

Skål! Skål! Skål!
Skål! Skål! Skål!

Riding the wind like a mighty eagle
We are Einherjar, we’re training for Ragnarok
Chosen by the Valkyries we ‘ll honor the oath
With glory and loyalty we live in brotherhood.

Far away, far away, I’ve finally found rest
Embracing my fallen brothers
To the gods, to the gods, we can gladly toast
In Valhalla we have been welcomed.

Drawing the swords stained with enemy’s blood
We’ll face the opponent by raising our battle cry
Beyond any fears and beyond any concern
Our deeds are indelible, now and forevermore.

Far away, far away, I’ve finally found rest
Embracing my fallen brothers
To the gods, to the gods, we can gladly toast
In Valhalla we have been welcomed.

Skål! Skål! Skål!
