Mike Schipper - Sails to Valhalla Lyrics

Raise the sail, the winds they call
To the hall where the brave ones fall
Where the axes ring and the fires blaze
A warrior's journey through stormy haze
With sword in hand and shield on arm
No fear, no tear, can cause alarm
For in Odin's eye I see my fate
The gates of Valhalla where heroes wait

Oar to the stars, sail to the sky
We ride the waves where the bold ones fly
Thor's thunder cracks, the storm it sings
To Valhalla we go, where the Valkyrie bring

Through icy waves and winds that scream
We chase the glow of Asgard's gleam
The serpent stirs in the ocean deep
But none shall stop us, not even sleep
Our blood may fall but never our pride
For we sail with honor, our brothers by our side
With every gust and every spray
We inch closer to the golden day

Oar to the stars, sail to the sky
We ride the waves where the bold ones fly
Thor's thunder cracks, the storm it sings
To Valhalla we go, where the Valkyrie bring

By the flames of Hel, we fear no end
For death's but a door, where the brave ascend
Skál to the gods! Skál to the fight
We sail through the storm, into endless night

Now the stars fade, the halls appear
Golden gates, we're drawing near
The Allfather waits, with a horn of mead
For every soul who died in need
With the final breath of mortal men
We rise again in Valhalla's den
No chains, no pain, but endless feast
Where the sun sets forever in the east

Oar to the stars, sail to the sky
We ride the waves where the bold ones fly
Thor's thunder cracks, the storm it sings
To Valhalla we go, where the Valkyrie bring

So drink to the dead, to battles won
Our journey ends where the song's begun
In the halls of Valhalla, we shall reign
Until Midgard calls us once again
