Ballad of the Swords

Einherjer

Across the moor we norsemen rode
And skalds to us song
Days of glory soon should be
When swords blood-red were swung
One eyed father give us strength
My brave kinsmen and I
In Valhalla I your mighty men meet
If I in this battle die
From the sky your ravens watching me
Both of them I see
Thank you Father for letting me know
You watch over me
At the moor the ravens spoke to me
While skalds did their song
A bitter loss was soon to come
For those I were among

Across the moor we norsemen rode
And skalds to us sung
That days of glory soon should be
When swords blood-red were swung
I say to you, I ask you to
For once be your own lord
Come with me
Be a part of my
Ballad of the swords

A sudden clash where swords were drawn
Was the beginning of my end
With a Norseman's pride and courage I fought
I would to Hel them send
Instead I felt cold chilling steel
Stab me from behind
A craven's deed indeed it was
Peace he should not find
Faded I did
Strange beauty I met
The dream for me came true
Brought up I were
Bifrost I saw
My mortal life were through
Your mortal life
With children & wife
Wouldn't have no value
If you knew as I
About life up here
You would die to be here forever

Across the moor we norsemen rode
And skalds to us sung
That days of glory soon should be
When swords blood-red were swung
I say to you, I ask you to
For once be your own lord
Come with me
Be a part of my
