Lyrics

Valhalla

[Intro]

Valhalla

[Verse 1]

The Kingdom of Odin is the Kingdom of Gods

Where only souls of the brave may rest in peace

But someone among them had the skill of deceit

And raised the hand that would open the road to Hell

[Chorus]

When the winds of Valhalla run cold

Be sure that the blood will start to flow

When the winds of Valhalla run cold

Valhalla

Valhalla

[Verse 2]

The ring has been broken and a soul must be saved

Among the bravest of men who rides to Hell

The longships are sailing and the chariots ride

And yes, the anger of Thor will serve you well

[Chorus]

When the winds of Valhalla run cold

Be sure that the blood will start to flow

When the winds of Valhalla run cold

[Bridge]

So raise your hands

Reach and Valhalla will save your soul

And raise your eyes

Odin will lead us on

[Verse 3]

They say that history repeats itself

Upon the year of the seventh century

Well, nobody knows, no, you never can tell

So you'd better run now, hide away, yeah

[Chorus]

When the winds of Valhalla run cold

Be sure that the blood will start to flow

When the winds of Valhalla run cold

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

When the winds of Valhalla run cold

Be sure that the blood will start to flow

When the winds of Valhalla run cold

[Outro]

Valhalla (You can feel it in the air)

Valhalla (Oh, you better beware, you better beware)

Valhalla (You can see it in the space)

Valhalla (Oh, he's the master of this place)
