This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
From the plains of power
whine the last stormy winds
For the guardian of Midgard
a final journey begins
Pre Chorus
By Odin's side
with the aesir gods behind,
a distant voice enters his mind
Chorus
Lord of the sky, you're running out of time
The serpent will poison your sublime
Thunder and lightning may have dyed your blood
but you can't escape the twilight of the gods
With the hammer you have crushed
all who stood in your way
But strength and deity
won't help you on the final day
Pre Chorus
As chaos reigns
and the Valkyries sing,
a warning is sent only for him
Chorus
Solo Dahl, Nyberg
Chorus
Bridge
Charioteer - You're a warrior without peer
Charioteer - But your grandeur will end right here
Charioteer - Charioteer - You're a warrior without peer
Charioteer - Charioteer - But your grandeur will end right here
whine the last stormy winds
For the guardian of Midgard
a final journey begins
Pre Chorus
By Odin's side
with the aesir gods behind,
a distant voice enters his mind
Chorus
Lord of the sky, you're running out of time
The serpent will poison your sublime
Thunder and lightning may have dyed your blood
but you can't escape the twilight of the gods
With the hammer you have crushed
all who stood in your way
But strength and deity
won't help you on the final day
Pre Chorus
As chaos reigns
and the Valkyries sing,
a warning is sent only for him
Chorus
Solo Dahl, Nyberg
Chorus

Charioteer - You're a warrior without peer
Charioteer - But your grandeur will end right here
Charioteer - Charioteer - You're a warrior without peer
Charioteer - Charioteer - But your grandeur will end right here
