Halvdan the Black Songtext
von Leaves’ Eyes

King of darkness
Allfather Odin
Revelation
Valhalla calling
Halvdanr Svarte

King of darkness
Allfather Odin
Elevation
Valhalla calling
Halvdan the Black

Proud voices in the air
On horseback king and men
Icebound the landscape
Their roar lay over the lake

Shadows waking or asleep
Shapes gather ′neath the ice
Halvdan's body perishing
Then screaming voices cry


Twenty-two winters tell of seasons rich
A king of pride

King of darkness
Allfather Odin
Revelation
Valhalla calling
Halvdan Svarte

King of Vestfold
By death divided
Veneration
All men mourning
Halvdan...
Halvdan, Halvdan the Black
Halvdan, Halvdan the Black

Loud voice is coming near
Their faces scared and tense
Ice-sheet is broken
They′re afraid to cross the lake


Shadows waking or asleep
Shape gather 'neath the ice
Halvdan's body still and white
Men′s bodies floating lifeless eyes

Twenty-two winters tell of seasons rich
A king of pride

King of darkness
Allfather Odin
Revelation
Valhalla calling
Halvdan Svarte

King of Vestfold
By death divided
Veneration
All men mourning
Halvdan Svarte
Halvdan Svarte
Halvdan, Halvdan the Black
Halvdan, Halvdan the Black

Forty winters seize the end

King of darkness
Allfather Odin
Revelation
Valhalla calling
Halvdan Svarte
(Halvdan the Black)

King of Vestfold
By death divided
Veneration
All men mourning
Halvdan...
(Halvdan the Black)

King of darkness
Allfather Odin
Revelation
Valhalla calling
Halvdan Svarte
