Allvater blickt vom Thron herab
Er wacht über das Schicksal seiner Söhne
Skinfari beschert den neuen Tag
Sie sind bereit in die Schlacht zu ziehen

Die Krieger gerüstet, die Waffen gewetzt
schreitet das Heidenheer voran
Der Glaube wird Sieger sein
mit Gebrüll schlagen sie auf die Feinde ein
begleitet vom Klang der Waffen
Im Kampf zu sterben, ist ihr höchster Preis
kein Strohtot darf des Kriegers Ende sein

Das Gras gerötet, was eben noch grünte
Blut dringt durch Helme und Brünnen
Die Schlacht hat sich für die Heiden entschieden
Siegesrunen ritzen sie in die Schwerter
Feindliche Krieger dieser Schlacht
sollen der Asen Opfergabe sein

Allwissende Raben umkreisen das Feld
Allvater erhebt den Speer
getroffen ist die Wahl der Helden
ihr Weg nach Walhalla führt
sie halten die Kelche gen Norden
und trinken das Blut ihrer Feinde
grausame Schreie hallen übers Land,
derer die den Stahl berührten

Schreit Wotans Namen, in das Schild mit der Macht
Er soll uns begleiten mit seiner Kraft
Wir singen unserem Gott den Barditus
Ihm unser Leben, für ihn diese Schlacht

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
