[Verse 1]
Cold steel dawn on the fjord
Boots on frost, hearts on fire
Broken shields, blood and snow
We ride where the wild winds choir
Runes burn on my tongue
Ash on the oath I swore
If I fall before the sun
I'll rise to fight once more
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the thunder call
Over mountain walls
We are not alone
We are coming home
[Chorus]
Gates of Valhalla
Open for the brave
Gates of Valhalla
Take me to my grave
Gates of Valhalla
(Valhalla)
I will not be tame
[Verse 2]
Wolf moon hangs over bone
Horn blown from the highest tower
Sons of storm, daughters of flame
We march through the iron hour
Black horse stamps on the ground
Drums like a storm in my chest
Every scar that I have won
Is a key to the northern rest
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the thunder call
Over mountain walls
We are not alone
We are coming home
[Chorus]
Gates of Valhalla
Open for the brave
Gates of Valhalla
Take me to my grave
Gates of Valhalla
(Valhalla)
I will not be tame
[Bridge]
If my name goes cold
Carve it in the stone
Let the ravens know
I came back for the throne
[Final Chorus]
Gates of Valhalla
Open for the brave
Gates of Valhalla
Take me to my grave
Gates of Valhalla
(Valhalla)
I will not be tame
Gates of Valhalla
I was born to claim
Gates of Valhalla
(Call my name)
