[Verse 1] Under ash-gray skies He rides the feast of bones One eye burning cold From the iron throne He walks the battle field Where crows learn every face Counting every wound In the frost and trace [Pre-Chorus] Hear the oath in the steel Hear the march of the slain He lifts the fallen high Calls them by name [Chorus] Valhalla, open wide Valhalla, take the brave Odin calls the dead To rise and train for fate Valhalla, open wide Valhalla, never sleep They drink up glory there For Ragnarök to meet [Verse 2] Spears laid in the hall Helmets on the beam They laugh with broken teeth Like they’re waking from a dream Boar meat on the flame Mead in heavy cups Every scar becomes A vow to rise back up [Pre-Chorus] Hear the oath in the steel Hear the march of the slain He lifts the fallen high Calls them by name [Chorus] Valhalla, open wide Valhalla, take the brave Odin calls the dead To rise and train for fate Valhalla, open wide Valhalla, never sleep They drink up glory there For Ragnarök to meet [Bridge] When the final horn Cuts through stone and rain They’ll storm out singing With their hands on flame No fear in the dark No mercy in the snow The father of war Already set the road [Final Chorus] Valhalla, open wide Valhalla, take the brave Odin calls the dead To rise and train for fate Valhalla, open wide Valhalla, never sleep They drink up glory there For Ragnarök to meet Valhalla, open wide Valhalla, hear them sing The slain become the storm And answer to the king
