marching to Valhalla

Lyrics

[Intro - Deep war horns and thunderous drums, rough Viking male growl chanting "Odin calls!"]

[Verse 1 - Steady marching rhythm on shield drums and axes clashing, rough gravelly male vocals roaring defiance]
From fjords of ice, we rise with fury,
Axes gleam in the northern light,
Blood of foes on our iron blades,
We carve our saga through endless night!

[Pre-Chorus - Building tension with rising fiddles and choral winds, male vocals deepening with layered growls]
Hear the ravens cry, the storm gods roar,
Valhalla waits for the bold who fall!

[Chorus - Explosive full war band eruption, thunderous taiko drums and battle horns, dual vocals - rough male roars clashing with soaring, crystalline female Valkyrie harmonies]
To Valhalla we ride! Shields high, spears fly!
Warriors feast in the golden hall!
Odin's chosen, we fight, we die!
Einherjar eternal, we answer the call!

[Verse 2 - Intensified with clanging swords and galloping horse drums, talented female vocals leading with ethereal power, male ad-libs growling underneath]
Sail the blood-red waves to enemy shores,
Flames devour the coward's throne,
We storm the gates with berserker rage,
In Freya's name, their end is sown!

[Pre-Chorus - Swelling orchestral fury with harp glissandos and wind howls, female vocals ascending in piercing melody, male echoes rumbling]
The Norns weave our fate in threads of war,
Valhalla's fire burns for warriors more!

[Chorus - Massive anthemic explosion, full Viking orchestra with hammer dulcimers and anvil strikes, intertwined male roars and female stratospheric vocals in perfect harmony]
To Valhalla we ride! Shields high, spears fly!
Warriors feast in the golden hall!
Odin's chosen, we fight, we die!
Einherjar eternal, we answer the call!

[Bridge - Stripped to lone harp and echoing flutes, vulnerable female vocals whispering prophecy, building with male distant chants fading in]
In the mist of dawn, the slain arise,
Mead flows rivers, no tears in our eyes...
(One final thunderclap drum hit)

[Outro - Fading war horns and ethereal female echoes over dying embers, rough male final roar: "For Asgard!"]
Valhalla... calls... forever!
