Halvdan The Black Songtext / Lyric

King of darkness

allfather Odin

revelation

Valhalla calling

Halvdanr svarte



King of darkness

allfather Odin

elevation

Valhalla calling

Halvdan the Black



Proud voices in the air

On horseback king and men

icebound the landscape

their roar lay over the lake






Shadows waking or asleep

shapes gather 'neath the ice

Halvdan's body perishing

then screaming voices cry



Twenty-two winters tell of seasons rich a king of pride



King of vestfold

by death divided

veneration

all men mourning

Halvdan the Black



Loud voice coming near

their face scared and tense

ice-sheet is broken

they're afraid to cross the lake



Shadows waking or asleep

shape gather 'neath the ice

Halvdan' s body still and white

men's bodies floating lifeless eyes



Forty winters seize the end
