Solefald - Crater Of The Valkyries lyrics
[Solefald - Crater Of The Valkyries lyrics]
I have not tasted bread for weeks
Snow is what I eat and drink
My saga the saga of hunger and need
The father of my father ancestors of my kin
The skald told the story of my house
Here I lie like a dead man
A weak wreck of no worth
At the Crater of the Valkyries
The angels of Odin my master
Take the dead home from battle to Valhalla
Here I am as a nobody
Awaiting the beating of wings
Of the godly women who fill the sky
Black wings on their shoulders
Helmets hide white faces
They will take me to Valhalla
Not as a warrior hall of Od
Skald I be
Skald through the runes let Fate decide
If you shall live or die
Fall into the volcano
Or still suffer under the stars
Skald do you see the raven
Munin is it's name it turns the rune
That would have you fall into the flame
Skald do you see the raven by your side
As you throw the runes
To settle life or death are you still to see
The blue of the sky
Or shall you fall into the fire
Of the mighty volcano Hekla
The raven turns the rune of your fate
You shall live for vengeance
To have justice done return to Reykjavik
To the hall of your king
Show them what you have suffered
Be the man you were
Father of my father ancestors of my kin
You had mead to drink and meat to eat
You lived in crafted halls
And sacrificed to the gods
You sailed black longships
With red shields and dragon heads
Here I lie like a dead man
A weak wreck of no worth
At the Crater of the Valkyries
The angels of Odin my master
Take the dead home from battle to Valhalla
Here I am as a nobody
Awaiting the beating of wings
Of the godly women who fill the sky
Black wings on their shoulders
I am the memory of all
Helmets hide white faces
They will take me to Valhalla
Not as a warrior hall of Od
Skald I be
Snow is what I eat and drink
My saga the saga of hunger and need
The father of my father ancestors of my kin
The skald told the story of my house
Here I lie like a dead man
A weak wreck of no worth
At the Crater of the Valkyries
The angels of Odin my master
Take the dead home from battle to Valhalla
Here I am as a nobody
Awaiting the beating of wings
Of the godly women who fill the sky
Black wings on their shoulders
Helmets hide white faces
They will take me to Valhalla
Not as a warrior hall of Od
Skald I be
Skald through the runes let Fate decide
If you shall live or die
Fall into the volcano
Or still suffer under the stars
Skald do you see the raven
Munin is it's name it turns the rune
That would have you fall into the flame
Skald do you see the raven by your side
As you throw the runes
To settle life or death are you still to see
The blue of the sky
Or shall you fall into the fire
Of the mighty volcano Hekla
The raven turns the rune of your fate
You shall live for vengeance
To have justice done return to Reykjavik
To the hall of your king
Show them what you have suffered
Be the man you were
Father of my father ancestors of my kin
You had mead to drink and meat to eat
You lived in crafted halls
And sacrificed to the gods
You sailed black longships
With red shields and dragon heads
Here I lie like a dead man
A weak wreck of no worth
At the Crater of the Valkyries

Take the dead home from battle to Valhalla
Here I am as a nobody
Awaiting the beating of wings
Of the godly women who fill the sky
Black wings on their shoulders

Helmets hide white faces
They will take me to Valhalla
Not as a warrior hall of Od
Skald I be
