Wotan arrives on the raven's call
All around me slaughter, the bravest fall
Blood drains from my weary bones
In battle I will stand..
Would that I, o valfather,
Be found to wait when heimdall calls
Freya rides from asgard far
Take me to the heroes' hail
Sword I swing and spear I thrust
Ever fighting for folk, I must
Grind your teeth and bite your shield
No enemies longer will walk the field
Bleeding and coughing, I did my deed
As life drains free like tears of man
Be found to fight when heimdal falls
Be found to wait when heimdall calls..
To thy battle of greater fields..
To see eye to eye, the heroes of old
To know that I am counted bold
Would that I, o valfather,
Be found to wait when heimdall calls
Freya rides from asgard far
Take me to the heroes hall
Wotan arrives on the ravens call
All around the slaughter the bravest fall
Blood drains from my weary bones
In battle I will stand...
