Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Wet rope Salt in the beard Long keel biting the gray Cold steel Sleep in the fjord Oars drag dawn our way Red shore Smoke in the rafters Old gods tasting the flame Harsh laugh Hand on the haft We carve our place in their names [Chorus] Raise your horns to the iron sky (hey!) Let the crows take what’s left of my eyes If I fall Let the battle decide Break my bones on the shield wall Brothers We ride We ride For Valhalla [Verse 2] Black sail Storm on the tongue Village wakes to the roar Door breaks Fire in the thatch We drink their courage and more Old king Crying to his saints My axe answers his prayer Gold rings Clatter in the mud Only glory goes up from here [Chorus] Raise your horns to the iron sky (hey!) Let the crows take what’s left of my eyes If I fall Let the battle decide Break my bones on the shield wall Brothers We ride We ride For Valhalla [Bridge] If I die with my face to the flame If my blood writes the edge of your name Let me wake where the fathers roar Feast and fight forevermore (forevermore) [Chorus] Raise your horns to the iron sky (hey!) Let the crows take what’s left of my eyes If I fall Let the battle decide Break my bones on the shield wall Brothers We ride We ride We ride We ride For Valhalla

Thunderous epic metal, double-kick drums and detuned guitars chugging in unison. Male vocals: verse in a gritty bark, chorus opens into soaring, long-held notes with stacked gang shouts. Huge toms and low male chant under the hook; brief tremolo-picked lead lines between phrases. Final chorus climbs a step, then ends on a sustained vocal over ringing guitars and war drums.
