Valhall Awaits Me Lyrics

Blood gushes from the wound
The cut is wide and deep
And before I turn around
He falls to his knees

A clear song rings in the blade
When steel meets hardened steel
I hear the sound of wood that breaks
A sword cuts through my shield

I drop the shield and grab my axe
A weapon in each fist
The first blow makes the helmet crack
The axe cut to the teeth

I rip the axe from the head
Covered in blood and brains
Leave the body lying dead
Ready to strike again

My sword cuts through clothes and skin
Like a hot knife cuts through snow
I smile as the bastard screams
When I twist my sword

Sword in my hand
Axe on my side
Valhall awaits me
Soon I will die
Bear skin on my back
Wolf jaw on my head
Valhall awaits me
When I'm dead

I raise my axe above my head
My eyes stare in furious rage
Yet more blood will be shed
This is a victorious day

Blood gushes from the wound
The cut is wide and deep
As I turn around
I fall to my knees

Sword in my hand
Axe on my side
Valhall awaits me
Soon I will die
Bear skin on my back
Wolf jaw on my head
Valhall awaits me
When I'm dead

The opening song of the new album "With Oden on our side".

Not too much to interpret in their songs, but they are heroic stories and well told too.

This one clearly is about a Berserker in battle ("...bearskin on my back, wolf jaw on my head...") who fights his enemies with battlelust until he succumbs himself.

A beautiful variation in the first and last stanza where he finally falls.

On top of that, its a KICKASS song! :D

Great song, love the guitars after he says "a sword cuts through my sheild", gives me a major rush

I can agree with the other post here on what the song is about

Cover art for Valhall Awaits Me lyrics by Amon Amarth

Valhalla, home of the greatest warriors, selected by the valkyrie of Odin (Chief god in Norse Mythlogy) He is the god of wisdom, war, battle, death. Warriors anticipate Valhalla, so even though he knows he is going to die in battle, it is considered honorable, and he'll be going to a good place.

Great fucking, by a good band.

It is Indeed a great song. But I thought It was Valhall awaits ONE, not Me?

I'm not sure if I'm correct but, I don't hear "wolf jaw," I hear "wolf skull" I'm not fully educated on the mythologies and all that, but I know what I hear.

Paints such a beautiful picture, doesn't it? You can almost taste the blood and sweat...
