 -*- Valhalla -*-


Hall of the slain warriors killed in battle in the old Norse myths
Twas their resting place until the last war of the world against evil
A viking's paradise awaited as a reward to those who were brave
It was a great honor for the warriors to be given a Viking's burial

The souls of the departed heroes shared in an endless happy feast
The glorious hall of the fabled Valhalla was magnificently adorned
The roof was built of shining spears and the grand walls of shields
Glittering precious gems and metal were the decorations of Valhalla

Five hundred doors were the entrances on the four sides of Valhalla
The phantom spirits of the dead waited for the very last Day of Battle
There was a great celebration as one of their viking brothers arrived
For eternity the Halls of Valhalla will remain as the viking's heaven

The funeral pyre sailed slowly upon the calm water on the last voyage
The spectators on shore rejoiced in the passing of their loved ones
Flames burnt high as the magnificent ship disappeared from sight
There were no tears to hinder the triumphant passing of the fallen
A true viking's departure was made forever an honorable farewell
