Verse I
Gold-fire dawn on the battlefield cold,
Ravens cry where the brave lie still.
She walks the mist with eyes of flame,
Chooser of slain, Freyja her name.
Gullrís dagr á vígvelli,
hrafnar gala, sverð eru kyrr.
Hún gengr í þoku, eldr í augum,
Freyja velr fallna.
Chorus
Ride, ride, Valkyrie queen,
Over shield-wall, over the slain unseen.
Sing, sing, your war-song wild,
Freyja calls her wolf-born child.
Ríð, ríð, valkyrja dróttning,
yfir skjöldu, yfir fallna.
Syng, syng, vígsöng villtan,
Freyja kallar úlfbornan.
Verse II – The Wolf Warrior
From pine-dark woods he comes to war,
Wolfskin bound and spear-tip torn.
Blood on teeth and frost in breath,
He laughs with rage, he walks with death.
Úr myrkvið skógi kemr hann fram,
úlfshamr bundinn, geirr í hönd.
Blóð á tönnum, frost í anda,
hann hlær við dauða.
Chorus (repeat)
Ride, ride, Valkyrie queen,
Ríð, ríð, valkyrja dróttning,
Freyja’s fire, Odin’s scream,
eldr Freyju, óðr Óðins
Verse III – Freyja’s Choice
She lifts him from the field of bone,
Not all dead are claimed by stone.
Half go to Odin’s golden hall,
Half walk Freyja’s shadowed call.
Hún lyftir honum frá vígi,
eigi allir fara Hel.
Helmingr til Óðins hallar,
helmingr til Fólkvangr.
Bridge (Spoken / Chant)
Steel may break and gods may fade,
But song and fury never die.
Járn brotnar, goð falla,
en söngr ok reiði lifa.
Final Chorus
Ride, ride, through storm and fire,
Wolf and goddess, fate entwined.
Love and war in crimson spun,
Freyja and the wolf are one.
Ríð, ríð, í stormi rauðum,
úlfur ok gyðja samtvinnað.
Ást ok stríð í blóði spunnin,
Freyja ok úlfur eitt
