[Intro] (Hie-ia-ia-io) (Hie-ia-ia-io) (Hie-ia-ia-io) [Verse 1] From the mountains I hear the wind cry low Like an ancient prayer that calls my soul (Hie-ia-ia-io) (Hie-ia-ia-io) (Hie-ia-ia-io) Through the fire and the falling snow I carry the names of the ones I know [Chorus] War-chant echoes through the night My blood runs north like rivers of light The moon stands guard above my flame The gods still whisper my name (Hie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-le) (Hie-ie-ie-ie-io-Valhalla) (Hie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-le) The gods still whisper my name [Verse 2] Steel in my hand, but faith in my heart For my brothers I’ll never part Through the storm, through loss and pain Their memory lives in every vein I feel my mother’s distant call A hearth of gold beyond it all [Bridge] If I fall beneath the sky Tell my father I did not cry Tell my sister I fought with pride With loyal friends at my side Patience carved me out of stone But longing whispers: “Come back home…” [Final Chorus] War-chant rising in the cold Stories of the brave retold Though I bleed, I stand the same Valhalla calls my name (Hie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-le) (Hie-ie-ie-ie-io-Valhalla) (Hie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-le) Valhalla calls my name
