Ballad of the Swords Songtext
von Einherjer

Across the moor, we Norsemen rode
And skalds to us song
That 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 will 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 hell them send

Instead, I felt, cold chilling steel
Stab me from behind
A craven 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 and 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 song
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

Brought up I were, bifrost I saw
My mortal life were through
Your mortal life, with children and wife
Have no value if you knew as I
Life up here, you would die to be here forever
