When I started ‘Valhalla’ three months ago, I felt there was magic. Chris Bouchard (drums), Joey Six (guitars), Dave Koehler (lyrics) and Mike Patterson (vocals) must have felt the sameā¦
‘Valhalla’ turned out as I hoped it would: with the Scandinavian vibe, the power and excitement in every vein. Enjoy the warriors.
We ply the icy waves
By stars we steer
In dragon ships
Without fear
Foes scan the sea
Spot our sails
Their stomachs turn
Their hearts quail
Some test our might
And some turn tail
But those that fight
Were doomed to fail
On the field
Don’t mourn the fallen
Valhalla
Valhalla
The warrior’s right
Battle all day
Eat and drink all night
So may we fly to Valhalla
Fly to Valhalla
By northern lights
We are born
To live by strength
And fear no storm
Forward in battle
Weapons unshorn
Eternal disgrace
For those who yield
I will never yield
Honor for those
Carried home on a shield
When the horns sound
And the blood will flow
We will fight and win
Or to Valhalla we will go
Valhalla
Valhalla
The warrior’s right
Valhalla
Valhalla
We’ll battle all day
And drink all night
Valhalla
Valhalla
Valhalla
