This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation.
Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.
Hear the call for all and the chosen ones
Far away, but all like one
Come together, we've just begun
Chant 'til Valhalla comes
Chanting 'til Valhalla comes
Arise
Into the final battle
There's a fire in my blood
Let's fight
Through the shadowland
There is light to lead us all
Charging into my destiny
Hear the thunder in my heart
Fight me well and I'll be free
Defenders heeding my call
Come with me, through the fire
Burning so real
And tonight, we rise higher
Sworn to the steel
See the light, break free
In the darkest of nights
Just keep on
Fighting 'til the break of dawn
'Til Valhalla comes
We strike
Out on the battlefield
There's a fire in your eyes
Ignite
Burning for your life
And the will that never dies
Charging into my destiny
Hear the thunder in my heart
Fight me well and I'll be free
Defenders heeding my call
Come with me, through the fire
Burning so real
And tonight, we rise higher
Sworn to the steel
See the light, break free
In the darkest of nights
Just keep on
Fighting 'til the break of dawn
Far away, but all like one
Come together, we've just begun
Chant 'til Valhalla comes
Chanting 'til Valhalla comes
Arise
Into the final battle
There's a fire in my blood
Let's fight
Through the shadowland
There is light to lead us all
Charging into my destiny
Hear the thunder in my heart
Fight me well and I'll be free
Defenders heeding my call
Come with me, through the fire
Burning so real
And tonight, we rise higher
Sworn to the steel
See the light, break free
In the darkest of nights
Just keep on
Fighting 'til the break of dawn
'Til Valhalla comes
We strike
Out on the battlefield
There's a fire in your eyes
Ignite
Burning for your life
And the will that never dies
Charging into my destiny
Hear the thunder in my heart
Fight me well and I'll be free
Defenders heeding my call
Come with me, through the fire
Burning so real
And tonight, we rise higher
Sworn to the steel
See the light, break free
In the darkest of nights
Just keep on
Fighting 'til the break of dawn
