A Call for Battle Lyrics


I have seen the cruelest of deaths

and I've died and come back to life

Slaying my enemies with no remorse

To hear their screams brings a smile to my face

With sword in hand, I fight without fear

Nothing weakens my heart

I hear the trampling of hooves on the ground

I stand prepared for war

Of death I am not afraid

To die in battle is my call

To be in the presence of the Allfather

As I see the light

Coming from the sky

The axes are cutting deep

Into flesh

My name will live on

I shall drink with the great in Valhall

But as long as there is a call for battle

I shall continue to be victorious

I stand here, on the battlefield,

thousands of foes in sight

Coming to fight us, to destroy our land

My people, my army, outnumbered

But as long as I am alive

Many of them will die

If they try to fight me back

They will walk into a nightmare

I'll slaughter them all

Put them to rest

Make them suffer a horrible fate

They will scream as I cut through their skin

And send them off to the kingdom of death

We're victorious today, once again

Against all odds we sent them to their deaths

But many wars are yet to be fought, so I rest

Until the day comes when my last battle-shout will sound

As I see the light

Coming from the sky

The axes are cutting deep

Into flesh

Now I am here

In the hall of fallen warriors

But I can still hear the call for battle

The horn of Heimdall sounding through the sky
