Home Lyrics - Odin Owns Ye All - Einherjer

Across the brigde of colours born 

Of fire water and air 

Dressed in crimson armours 

In hand are bloodwet spears 

Reach the entrance heavens gate 

Honoured by the brave 

See the hall with golden roof 

The home allfather gave 

Welcome to the hall of death 

Great Odin we hail him 

Come in, enjoy the glorious afterlife, my friend 

Here we fill the ranks of Tyr 

Battle is our way 

Every morning day and night till the winter fiercest come 

Cattle die 

All men are mortal 

But word-fame never dies 

Nor a noble name 

Kinsmen die 

All men are mortal 

But one thing never dies 

The glory of the great dead 

Enough of tears, enough of wail! 

Not to lament in was Valhalla made 

The wind as fresh as the air is clear 

The greatest of men are here 

All einherjer in Odin's court 

Fare to fight each day 

Select the slain, then leave the battle 

Sit after at peace in the hall. 

Welcome to the hall of death 

Great Odin we hail him 

Come in, enjoy the glorious afterlife, my friend 

Here we fill the ranks of Tyr 

Battle is our way 

Every morning day and night till the winter fiercest come 

Cattle die 

All men are mortal 

But word-fame never dies 

Nor a noble name 

Kinsmen die 

All men are mortal 

But one thing never dies 

The glory of the great dead
