Gates of Valhalla

Описание: [Intro]
Ho!
Ho!
Ho!
Ho!

Ropes in my palms
Salt in my lungs
Blood on the sailcloth
Teeth in my tongue

[Verse 1]
Storm in the prow, I grin
Salt-etched scars on skin
Oars beat time like sin
We row, we row

Shields on the gunwale, clacked
Old runes burned in black
Skies split, thunder cracks
We go, we go

[Pre-Chorus]
I hear a horn
Somewhere beyond the foam
A door in the northern sky
Calling me home

[Chorus]
Gates of Valhalla
Open when we scream
We die on the water
Wake up in a dream
Raise that hammer
Raise that horn
If we burn tonight
We rise reborn
Oh, the Gates of Valhalla
Won’t open for the meek
So we carve our saga
In the jaws of the deep

[Verse 2]
Boots on the boards, I stomp
Chain on my neck, it clanks
Crew full of outcast saints
We sing, we chant

Gold in our busted teeth
Stories in busted ribs
Every scar writes deeds
On the godless wind

[Pre-Chorus]
I see a hall
Blazing above the snow
A crowd at the golden doors
Waiting below

[Chorus]
Gates of Valhalla
Open when we scream
We die on the water
Wake up in a dream
Raise that hammer
Raise that horn
If we burn tonight
We rise reborn
Oh, the Gates of Valhalla
Won’t open for the meek
So we carve our saga
In the jaws of the deep

[Breakdown]
Row, row, row, row (hey!)
Skulls on the prow in a cold red glow (hey!)
Teeth on the tide wanna drag me low
But the old gods howl, “Let the war child go!”

Chain snap, neck crack, rage in my grin
Salt cuts deep but it cleans my sin
If I don’t fall then I don’t get in
So I leap from the mast with a laugh in the wind (hah!)

[Bridge]
(Ya-yo yo yo)
High on the ice-blue air
(Ya-yo yo yo)
She calls us through despair

Men of the oar, stand tall
Women of storm and squall
All who have lost it all
Come to the lion hall

Ho! Drag the dragon through the waves
Ho! Sing the names of restless graves
Ho! Let the iron kiss the spray
Ho! Let our fear be burned away

[Breakdown]
Skull split, war cry, knuckles to the sky
If I never see tomorrow, I’ma never ask why
Let the frostbite bite, let the black sea bite
I’ve been dead inside for a long, long night

Crash like a crest, got a spear in my chest
But I stand on the deck, bellow out with the rest
If the shield line breaks, then my spine won’t bend
I was born, I was sworn to an end like this

[Final Chorus]
Gates of Valhalla
Open when we scream
We die on the water
Wake up in a dream
Raise that hammer
Raise that horn
If we burn tonight
We rise reborn
Oh, the Gates of Valhalla
Now blazing through the sleet
We have carved our saga
In the jaws of the deep

[Outro]
Ho!
Ho!
Ho!
Ho!
Drink for the lost
Sing for the slain
Storm took our bodies
The Hall keeps our names
