Death of a King

In the shadow of the mountains where the icy winds do wail A Viking king has fallen and the land is draped in veil The ravens sing their mournful song across the frozen plain For the king has been claimed by Odin and now in Valhalla he shall reign Oh raise your horns and sing aloud the tales of bravery told For the warrior king now rests with gods in halls of gold With sword in hand and shield held high he fought with all his might Now he feasts with heroes and gods beneath the Northern lights The longships sail in silence across the darkened sea As warriors gather on the shore to bid their king farewell The Valkyries ride on winged steeds to Valhalla's mighty gate To welcome home the fallen king and celebrate his fate Oh raise your horns and sing aloud the tales of bravery told For the warrior king now rests with gods in halls of gold With sword in hand and shield held high he fought with all his might Now he feasts with heroes and gods beneath the Northern lights So let the mead flow freely and let the fires burn bright For the Viking king has found his place in Odin's hall tonight Though he may be gone from mortal sight his spirit will never fade For the king has been claimed by Odin and in Valhalla his legend is made Oh raise your horns and sing aloud the tales of bravery told For the warrior king now rests with gods in halls of gold With sword in hand and shield held high he fought with all his might Now he feasts with heroes and gods beneath the Northern lights
