BRÅVALLA HEATH (ENGLISH, MALE)

[Intro: Massive Gjallarhorn blast, deep and raw, followed by heavy war drums, male chanting only, aggressive, no female voice] Mmmm Mmmm [Verse 1: Male vocal, deep, rough, commanding, minimal drums + dark drones] For years I've plundered gold  I've been drinking mead with my brother  I've walked deep into the forest Where I've left my mark  [Pre-Chorus: Male vocal, building tension, heavier drums, low male choir] The cold don't bite my skin  For Odin soon calls me home To Valhalla, where I can rest  [Chorus: Male lead, aggressive, powerful Viking choir, heavy war drums, battle energy] My blood brothers protect me with their swords  While I lie here on the snowy ground  The battle of Bråvalla Heath Was the beginning of my death [Verse 2: Male vocal, darker, controlled but intense, minimal instrumentation] My wife is now alone She sacrificed a goat and a roebuck  Hoping Odin would remember my name So, when my eyes are shut  I can return home  To Valhalla and Ragnarok  [Bridge: Male vocal, intense, ritualistic, fire, low rumble, tension] My children have said farewell to their father  Who's lying on the raft  Where the fire crackles and smoke rises high My wife offered jewelry to Freyja, placed beside me  Now I'm sailing away  [Final Chorus: Male lead, aggressive, powerful Viking choir, heavy war drums, battle energy] My blood brothers protect me with their swords  While I lie here on the snowy ground  The battle of Bråvalla Heath Was the beginning of my death [Outro: Deep male chant, fading, dark and heavy] Mmmm…
