Val-Hala Songtext / Lyric

Val-Hala

music by Elton John . lyrics by Bernie Taupin
album Empty Sky 1969

The seadogs have all sailed their ships
Into the docks of dawn
While the sirens sit
And comb their hair
And twiddle with their thumbs


Oh Thor above the mountain
Look down upon your children
This is their heaven where they're told
To bring their galleons


Seek you find your place with me
Men of iron, men of steel
Only the brave hear the hammers ring
In the courts of the Queens
In the halls of the Kings


You can come to Val-hala in your own time
Come to Val-hala seek and you will find Val-hala
Come to Val-hala in your own time
Come to Val-hala seek and you will find
Val-hala


There's long boats in the harbour
Which arrive there every hour
With the souls of the heroes
Whose blood lies on the flowers


And this heaven is the home
Of every man who loves his sword
And he uses it for freedom
To preach the word of Thor
